Question for you fursuit makers + Anthrocon? Answer: Yes
7 years ago
I've been a busy little foxxo as of late. College has taken a lot of my time, a new game to develop, and motivation has gone down the fucking drain. (seriously, how can I get that back up? I have a book to write, damnit)
But I have been designing... things. So, onto the first topic. Question for all ye ol' fursuit makers about. How do you do, say, a character with a hard face, like bone or metal? Really, because I've been remodeling my sona, Yumi, a bit and her new iterations have a brass fox mask which I would love to replicate. Currently I'm looking to building one based around a paper fox mask template I found online, has about the shape I need but I would need to make my own ears. https://www.etsy.com/listing/187855.....mple?ref=hp_rf That's the one. While I have no doubt those things can be sturdy, I want something that won't have a risk of crumpling or getting damaged easily. So, what would ya'll suggest to build this mask? Like, gimme links to stuff to get, tips, ect, if you got any ideas. Please.
In other news- Yes, I will actually be at Anthrocon, at least I plan to. My mate, partner, and pet Griff and I will be there, for the first time, together. Quite the experience being together physically for the first time and going to a con for the first time! Hah. Part of the reason why I wanna make this outfit tho, and I've already ordered some of the parts. We'll be all around and I'll keep you posted of plans as they approach so you can maybe get a chance to meet me, if any of y'all care enough. Gonna be exciting~
