: My First Fursuit Build WIP
: Dori-Dog January 16, 2013, 07:17:58 -07:00
After being in the fandom and admiring fursuits for years, I've decided to try my hand at building one for myself.

This is the head. Pretty much ready for furring now, just waiting for the fur to arrive.

feedback is greatly appreciated :)

The eyes are looking really good so far -- great colour in them and a soft expression with those slanted eyelids.  The proportions look good; looking forward to seeing more!

Any progress on this one yet?

Cheers;

Not much has happened with this. It's been put on the back burner until I have more time (which will hopefully be soon).

I will post updates once I have updates to post though  :)

Hi there!

I know this thread was started months ago, but just thought I'd add some advice for you. The head looks great so far, but you'll want to add some shape to those ears. Even adding foam "edges" to the front side of the ears would give them some three-dimensional shape, and prevent them from turning out flat. I'd add some to the middle of the ear backs, too.

Good luck, and I hope you post some more :)

Yeah I have added a bit of foam around the edges but the ears are actually quite curved (doesn't show in the photo). I cut a triangular chunk out of each to give them an almost cone like shape and the grooves they sit in are also quite curved. I am quite happy with their shape.

Suit is packed away as I am moving in a week but will hopefully get more done in September and have a nice big update to post.

So it's been a while since I've posted any updates. I managed to get it done up to a partial form for Halloween this year. I've been really busy with school which has been limiting on the time I can work on it but I will slowly but surely start chipping away at a full suit now.

I debuted the suit at my School's Halloween bash and they did not let me enter the costume contest because "it's not even fair". I guess I should take that as a compliment  ???
I can't wait to take it out to some meets and hopefully cons. So much school, so little time.

What the heck, school? You made it, they should have let you in! And you should have won!!  ;D

Great job on finishing the suit! I think it has a ton of personality. I love the colours! It's gonna look great as a full.
