First pic of 2014!!!

I'm an Engineer at heart... this reminds me of the long projects we used to do in High School, so long ago. Model making, etc. ALL the skills being put to use.

This is what i've been working on in my spare time. there are SOOOOO Many steps to everything, but i've been grinding it out sure and steady.
Gives me intense butterflies just thinking about it.... So far, everything feels sturdy and comfy.
I'm going to have to get a well ventilated balaclava i believe, with some good bracing.
I want this to be very durable, and able to withstand wind, and the occasional
knock into a door frame, and the occasional heckler who'd try to attack me or yank on something.
I'm going for the same look at my SL avatar, with the shiny ear bars.

The amazing thing... is the budget i've been working with. It's very encouraging.
==============
* make ball ends for ear bars
* fit balaclava to frame
* make ankle sleeve for foot paws: sew on velcro
* brace and foam head, build up
* fit jaw with elastic jaw return band
* fit joint attachment of jaw hinge
* sculpt custom jaw set: Tongue & Teeth (or obtain ready made)
* obtain short seal faux fur fur for body
* foam for digi legs
* airbrush stencil patterns onto faux fur body
* obtain foam for Flexi Crux tail, Stiffy Crux tail, and triple flexi tail(just like in SL)m yes i want to have 3 interchangeable tails, AND the ears will be removable and adjustable.

good god man that's a long list of things to do... but i'm quite persistant. It'll be totally worth it.
