HELP! Digigrade legs.

[willow]

Hey guys, 

Sorry to be a pest again. :roll:
But I'm looking around to see if anyone know how to build the full looking digilegs I have a few people helping me build my suit as this is my first and don't want to mess it up. Sadly none of us really know how to do the leg I'm looking at doing. we have built some but don't know if there right or not.
If anyone want to join or little team and or give me hint on how to do them that would be amazing.
ps, I have watched every tutorial online but don't think i'm really getting it

What I have done is carved down high density foam, making sure both opposing pieces are identical - and place them over your dtd. Tape around them and add them onto your dtd. Resume patterning as normal, being careful not to cut into your knees/leg padding. Sew up your bodysuit, and make pockets out of a strong flexibale material to pop in your padding for easy cleaning removal, and addition after cleaning. Hang up suit and zip it open, pop in your knee and back padding now. Digitigrade : )

If by full you mean over and extended knee, make it in two pieces but still follow the procedure above. Ie one smooth semi circle piece cut down the center and attaches above and below the knee, leaving the knee open to movement - as the faux fur will fill in the small gap leaving it unnoticable, and you'll still be able to move.

Hope I could help! ;;"
