What's Beetlecat's meathod? o-O I need a way to get Nova's fur color cause I can't find it anywhere

This is the specific tutorial. It's awesome...Took about 2 days for the fur to dry completely though. And you need to brush it every couple hours or so, more on the second day and as it's really starting to try, cause that's when the fur might clump or get coarse.

Ahh! I've seen this meathod before >w< I never really got it to work right for me though cause I think I just have WAY too much paint. How much fur did you dye using this meathod? Cause the color I need is Nova's Purple-ish color

and that'll be a good bit of fur X.x

I used a little swatch, about 2 by 2 to get the idea. I'd sugesst figureing out the mixture for the color you want and consistency. basically it needs to be watery.

I'm using a single color to dye this fur, it's a transparent airbrush paint, that's already liquid, so I don't need to watch for clumps as much as a tubed paint. It's an accrylic that still shows through the original yellow and ended up with a tanny gold color. (the picture does no justice with the small sample)

Like I said, figure out your color first, then when you go to cut your patern piece as a seperate piece, but all at the same time, with the same mixture. It's going to take up a lot of room, and it's going to be messy. For other questions on this method though, I'd suggest asking her about it, since she's a lot more experianced with it than I am :3

It's a beautiful golden tan color from what I can see <3 But thanks! I'll most certainly take into account that there needs to be alot of room... Damn >.< Thanks though! >w<

LEOPARD

/glee :D

*jumps up and down excitedly* That is the puurfect coloration, the tawny yellow color is going to be amazing. also the airbrushing looks fantastic. I'm happy with how it looks thus far.

Awesome :3 I was a little nervous though. I'm going to be ordering an extra yard of the yellow around this weekend, because the patterning for the body ended up being a bit more than I estimated, and I'll be cutting it Reeeeeally close on the tail and feet patern. Aaaand...I want some of the tawny color for a personal project >w>

Dying method = win

cool, was this the first time you tried the dying and drying method?

this version of it, yes. I've tried the sharpie and alcohol method..but... >.> I bet ya can guess what my problem with that was.

i imagine that would be really really messy.
