How might one go about making a fursuit head with moving lip
6 years ago
I'm dead serious contemplating making a partial fursuit for Halloween (it all hinges on money though, and may not happen this year/in time for Halloween)
However I've gotten it stuck into my head that somehow making lips that pull back and slack forwards would be the awesomest thing and totally not way too ambitious for a first fursuit.
I'm curious if anyone has an good ideas on how to accomplish that?
The lips would need to pull back at the corners on command; the slack position could easily be accomplished through simple gravity.
My initial idea was to use some sort of clip attached to the corners of my own lips, connected to the suit using some sort of cord? But realistically, I doubt my lips would actually be strong enough to do that,,, being you know, lips XD
Where else do you think a cord like that could be attached, and be able to accomplish this sort of motion??
(I will note, I did consider attaching the cord to my shoulders somehow, and pulling my shoulders back to pull the corner of the lips- though I'm unsure how to disguise the cord without sacrificing its strength. would it still work if it was a little bit more loose, to fit under the hood?)
(If I DO purchase the parts for the suit, I will definitely experiment with this before furring it - and if I do find a way to make the lips move, I will definitely share that knowledge!)
(Also also if I do do order the mask parts, I will temporarily open commissions to help pay for the fur. So keep an eye open for that!)
