Very nice! They look realistic!

Walk like it as well

Thanks! They make a realistic clip clop sound on hard surfaces as well.

Wow! Those are impressive!!

Thank you!

Do you have WIP pics on how you built these? I am sure several people would love to see how you built them!

Also if you are on Live Journal, please post on LJ Fursuit! :D They will LOVE them

I dont have any WIP on how I built them, never thought anyone would be intrested to see how i did it. The hooves are a really basic design although I couldn't recomend this method.

I'm afraid I dont have an account on Live Journal.

wow these look fantastic! well done! I love the gold hooves. I'd love to see how the rest of the suit!

Thank you! I'll post more pictures of the suit as I get it done.

Hmm, very interesting design and would love to see the WIP. I been contemplating a stilt like design myself though so far it is more in my head than on paper or in any other form of construction. My main thing is wanting to realistic look but remain comfy.Are you able to stand normally in those or are you having to tip toe the whole time?

Oh, and in case I forgot, very nice looking and looking forward to more pics of suite. Been working on head design myself, trying to do so without the use of any foam in attempt to keep head less hot and more breathable plus to get a bit away from the "tooney" look as I like some realism in my suite design =).

I have to tip-toe with them on although the angle isint too bad. I can even lean back some without much trouble, if I go back too far then I have to drop onto my heals to stop from falling backwards. Although its an easy task getting back onto the hooves after I steady myself again.

I did my best to stay away from the foam as well. I did have to lay down a 1/4 inch layer of foam to give the fur a realistic pattern to lay on so the structure of the head couldent been seen underneath.

Yeah, I got 3/8 inch batting material on hand just in case the fur itself can not cover the seams of the plastic canvas I used to scuplt the head. Looks like the batting material may be more breathable than foam. But so far it looks like I may be able to get away without it with using the plastic canvas. So far, the head looks very horsey without even the fur on it, kinda like a bald horse head.

May have to get pics and post it once I am happy with it before I cover it with fur.

Batting material, so thats what thats stuff is called. I bought some of that to use elsewhere on the head construction and ended up using it to break up the hard lines under the fur of the hooves.

I would love to see how you did your head, been having a few issues with my head, mostly the eyes.

I used a half of a plastic Christmas ball for the eyes, though have not attempted to color them yet. You can by them at most craft stores for making your one x-mas balls. I will have to get some pics loaded sometime. I was trying to avoid the mesh like eyes and one reason of trying to keep the head breathable was so I could do that. Leaving the nostrils and ears kind of open for some air flow if needed.

That is one method I was considering using. I dont like the mesh eyes myself but may make a hybrid type of eye, useing glasses for the exterior and maybe a dark mesh screen for the interior. I really just have to experiment and see what I can figure out that will work.

These are lovely. I hope they work well!

Me too, looks like FC will be the big test.

I am sure they will pass!

I hope so, would be a shame to blow a hoof while I was tap dancing. :P

just super! How is made?
