I finally made the huge leap of starting to make my first fursuit. Shycolour came over to help and show me step by step how to make a basic foam based head. It will be Tinka-cat or 'Tinkatti' ('katti' is Cat in Finnish).

It will be a very kemono-style head ie. poor vision and very bad ventilation - but the looks is all that matters xP

I will be trying out two new techniques: I will try to make a silicon based soft nose with a plaster mold. And I will try to make a sticker based plate-eye with no lense that I saw in Japan that looked absolutely wonderful even though it's not 'follow-me' style ^^'

If I can print eyes on stickers and place them on plastic or aluminium sheets then they can be used for more complex eyes too ^^'

I have good sewing machine and have learned to use it as well as a glue gun. That's pretty much the most important things you need ^^'

Still need to a buy a few things:
- model styrofoam head
- lots and lots of foam and fur
- need to install more shelves - there is never enough storage space! ^^'

Also the Kemono-Tinka fursuit is going to be upgraded:
- I have drilled holes into the forehead and will be installing a large fan there in the hope that it will reduce the fogging and maybe even give me some oxygen to breath xP
- Cut out anything extra from inside the head and make it more comfortable to wear. Maybe even make a new lining for it ^^'
- All the padding on the hips and legs needs to be refilled or new ones made - currently they are too small.
- Paws need a bit more working and finishing.

I wont' be posting any pictures yet - just in case I fail miserably and the suit turns out to be horrible xP
