I'm gonna make a fursuit

This Will Be A Public Service Rambling;
Commissions Are Closed!!
Or at least a head. I'm gonna use a completely foam base and i kinda like the idea of building it on a balaclava. I hope that translates well to a semi-realistic style haha
I'm also wondering if i cna skip the whole multiple layers of foam and then carve by getting jsut a large block of foam. that all depends on what i cna get my hands on though cause i've carved out of a block fo something before so it wouldn't be foreign territory and then slice the jaw to make the hinge or whatever.
I think i understand how to make the follow-me eyes pretty well and i've sculpted teeth before. I also have this instamorph stuff that dries completely white. I could also use that for a nose if i don't go to a silicone one.
I evne foudn a semi-simple way to make digitigrade elgs as well, but that might be too ambitious depending on how the head even goes
also im wary of sewing machines!! what if i sew my finger?? (also im just in general used to old fashion things. did you know we had a hand mixer for 4 years and the first time i used it was LAST year? and it wasn't because i didn't bake anything) so just imagine sewing all those seams by hand, yikes.
but yeah so, that's an idea i have floating around in my noggin.
But, if i do that, ho am i gonna make? I was thinking Korvek because i already have a suit of Lunney, I just don't weird it often. Also i need to fix the jaw, it's become crooked.
Honestly, he's probably a little easier to do cause his muzzle is pretty rectangular. the only oddities are his relatively low forehead , weird ears, and the snaggle-mouth.
As you cna see in this really-fucking-old-that-i-need-to-update refsheet, his head is pretty much a rectangle if you close his mouth.
I'm not even going to try for that stomach mouth, fuck that. But i also don't know how to get he bands on his tail. I didn't' look up tail tuts yet, but im hoping i can find something for a rat/possum tail
Hmm... well anyway. That's my plan. I hope i actually do it this time lol
maybe oen day int he distant future i'll make a bodysuit with the stomach mouth on it. it'd be a cool little pouch thing
so yeah, if you have any thoughts or anything or advice or whatever, i'd be down to hear it.

And well, making it would be cheaper, just more work and maaayybbe the first try won't look so great (i have a feeling mine won't lol). On the other hand... getting one made ensures that it looks good but that's a pretty penny. Hmm..
I dunno really, i guess it depends on how much free time and cash you have. Making it yourself is a fun thing to do though i think, and there are a plethora of tutorials on tumblr and youtube, especially for canines and felines.
Man, now im really hyped for this
