Plans for building a full fursuit
11 years ago
General
Thought I'd let people know this, and plus, I wanted to write stuff down about it. I'm probably forgetting A LOT, but this journal will probably be updated when I remember. Also, besides making feetpaws, this is my first fursuit. I want to do my research, take my time, spend money where appropriate, and GET THIS THING RIGHT. Matrices tutorials and a few random ones around the web are proving to be quite helpful.
Materials gathered:
-pink seal fur
-balaclava spandex fabric
-head form (coming in the mail)
-high density foam
-leggings for digi legs
Materials wanted:
-gray average length fur, such as DF - about 2-3 yards
-black sparkle fur - about 1 yard
-strong enough clippers/shaver (about $65 new)
-appropriate clipper blade (about $20 new)
-eye mesh
-something to color eye mesh (research needed)
-fleece for inner ears, tongue, pawpads, and nose
Things currently working on:
-sew balaclava
-finish digi leg padding
-buy stuff
To be worked on soon and later:
-sculpt head
-duct tape dummy
-sew handpaws
-sculpt feet
-sew, sew, sew
-a whole lot more
Lastly, if you have ANY advice, or things you think I might need, please let me know!

Wishes you the best of luck. I made one partial, about 20+ years ago. Once you have it made, store it in mouse-proof containers. Mice got into mine stored up in the attic, and left it full of piss and poo. Had to throw it in the dump.
