Completed this on September 8, but I think I finished the head sometime mid August.
He's made purely of Mendel's 3" shag fur. Nose is foam coated in latex and rubber pellets mixed into a cement that was then painted, eyes came from a bottle of Tyde, whiskers from a fiber optic lamp, ear innards are felt, the feet and hands are built on gloves and slippers with foam shaping and bulk added, and the two types of foam I used are block of high-density upholstery foam for sculpting the head and 1" thick sheets of a fairly low-density foam from Wal*Mart.
If you're interested in seeing more of him, I picture-logged the entire construction process of the head and have a gazillion in-progress shots uploaded here: http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b.....pictures/suit/

Thanks! And both answers are yes. I measured the width and length of my noggin, marked it in the center, rounded the shape a bit, then just went strait down into with the a pair of scissors. Once there was a basic tunnel I refined it and made it a little bigger, and that's about that.
My costume's pupils are EXACTLY on top of my own eyes and very close fitting- I actually drew the face on surrounding them with the idea that "THIS IS WHERE PUPILS MUST GO BECAUSE OF DINKY SIZE." Vision is pretty limited, but not impossible. I won't be making pupils this small again, can't afford to with how much I need to do in order to gain bare-minimum vision. |D;;

Not the way they were installed without putting about ten hours into the job, which I can't spare nowadays. Also, to be honest, I really don't like the concept of going back and changing work I've already considered finished- I'll keep it, mistakes and all, as a lesson in what not to do and make better ones in the future. Hopefully, at least. xD
