the terrifying ooccoo face in the background.... beautiful xD
Love how the head is turning out though c:

lol That was the first thing I saw!! That face in the background. xD

I definitely feel you; patterning is one of my least favorite parts DX The tape seriously starts to hurt my fingers over time.

cant wait to see this finished, thanks for sharing progress shots ^^

Now I am super curious who it is

Isabelle is looking at that like.. "What you post to be?" lol

So here's my question. It looks like there's a strap going from the helmet to the middle of the back. Is this the strap to help the wearer hold their head up (as we discussed at BLFC)? I've discovered that I have a weak neck, and is a concern of mine with the project we discussed.

it keeps the helmet from sliding and also allows you to sort of rest your neck by leaning forward making the straps take some of the work, there is still weight on your head though

Ugh I think taping/patterning is my least favorite part of making suits. Like, your foaming and sculpting and it's coming to life, and then icky taping and taping and taping and then you just cut it off and it looks like no progress has been made at all. x(
This is looking so awesome though!! Thank you for all the WIP photos, they are very helpful!!

I think it's the no progress thing that stings most, like when making the frame at the end of the day you feel like "oh wow yay a head!' but when patterning and sewing at the end of the day you are like "oh look a strange looking rug..."

even worse for bodies, cause aggg I have to wrestle this stiff human being in an awkward pose and fffffffff


tomorrow I pattern the body *cries a little




PS I don't use tape though, I either use a draping method where I pin the fur around the body/cut and pin fur to the head, or I use some fleece to make a pattern since I went waaaaaaaaaaaaaay overboard on a sale once and I still have a huge pile of it (it was $3 a yaaaaaaard)

Hah! Strange looking rug, YUP! xD Once you actually put the fur on though

Oooh I would probably do that too for $3/yard!!

Joann Fabrics frequently will give you a discount if you buy fleece by the bolt. I got bolts for $1 a yard. @.@ I still haven't used all that fleece... @.@

My Joann discounts usually go to something else xp but thanks!!

It's really cool to see the progression of this suit!!! I've never seen the steps or progress so in depth for a quad suit before!

amazing
