Migration Delay & Fursuit Head
8 years ago
So migration is somewhat on delay as I figure out how to handle non-commissioned purchased pieces, also due to my distraction working on a 3d model to print for a new fursuit head.
Suggestions are welcome regarding legality and ethics for posting non-commissioned purchased pieces. I have a *lot* of originals that I've purchased, and would like to upload photos/scans of them (particularly ones that I've not seen online before), but obviously I don't want to step on any artist's paws!
I'm thinking the best course is to start with a broad sweep and send a note/email to all the artists I have pieces from, and ask them directly. The real question comes from what to do if they don't respond, or otherwise are unavailable, or sadly no longer with us.
Anyway, once I clear that up, I'll start migrating pieces and such. I don't want to just start migrating because FA forces ordering by upload date and I'd like to the gallery to be in a semi-chronological order.
As for working on my new head, I've got a replica skull, paid to have it CT scanned - which while useful for the STL, the teeth sadly turned out horrible. I've tried a few photo-to-3d apps, but none have gotten the teeth-detail I'm after. So, I'm modeling it myself!
If anyone's interested for whatever reason in watching the boring process, I made this and will be there periodically -

I may even consider posting timelaps video someday, maybe. We'll see.
The goal is to get a good skull/jaw structured, as a general skull, and then build it out as a fursuit head after that. Lots to do, in very little time. Really hoping to have this done by Anthrocon! Maybe BLFC, if I go.

Asking the artists is the right way to go. Occasionally you run into an artist who doesn't want to be known for drawing certain fetishes.
