Figured I'd post a few progress photos of the stages for my Nori suit so far!
I'm just wrapping up the head now :) She's my first foam head, so criticism is appreciated!
The initial foam head:

Getting the cheeks on and the basic shape down!

Finding out the muzzle would be too long....
(http://i.imgur.com/8a3gBEN.jpg)
Snipped it down, and now it looks MUCH cuter, and starting to figure out the smile :P

Figuring out how to make the eyes...
(http://i.imgur.com/WBnLA75.jpg)
Starting to fur, and getting the ears on!
(http://i.imgur.com/iOMkpYr.jpg)

(pretty big jump) Settling on the eyes and painting them, lining and putting the tongue in the mouth, attaching the nose, and sewing in the brows...

Finally, attaching the ears, the sabers, the horns (I'll be putting another layer on) and doing some finishing touches. She's nearly done!

Oh wow, she's soo cute <3 My first head looked nowhere near that great
I really like the muzzle shape, and the big boopy nose. Even the expression is good; a lot of newer makers need eyelids/smaller/bigger eyes or something but yours looks fine c:
-
Thank you so much!! <3
Yeah, the eyelashes were being a pain, she looked very stern for a while :P Eventually I trimmed down the width of them, and it looks better now :) I wish I made the muzzle a bit... less wide, but it looks alright with the big nose.
-
Awww i love the eyes and the biiiiiig ears x3
-
Thank you!! <3

Thanks! I haven't brushed them yet so they're really scruffy. lol
And did the end of the tail, 17 pattern pieces total and you can't really tell. Soo I could have gotten away with 4. XD

So here's Nori so far! I'm going to work on cleaning up my workspace and pulling the fur out of the seams before I start on the feetsies :P Any critique is appreciated!

Carves out the feetsies:

Realized how massive the feetsies are. O_O

Slapped fur on the feetsies:

And planning out how to do the head hair. (3 inch pile fur, wigs looked too funky)

Sooo wee :)
And a link to a video of it so far, in case it didn't go through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCKsyZV-FUo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCKsyZV-FUo)

Did a DTD (It's all cut up now :P) And did the leg padding! It's gonna be not fun to walk in. lol

Awesomeee.
I think you could have done a bit more effort with the foam base
It's hard to cut foam though, so its pretty understandable.
But overall,
it's epic! Love it XP
-
Thank you! And yeah, it was a struggle with trying to get the expression right, and dull scissors don't cut as clean XD At least I know a bit more of what to look for for the next one :)
-
So here's the body suit so far! The padding for the legs is just pinned right now, so it moves a lot. And I added way too much seam allowance to one side, so it looks really crooked right now :P

The video is from my OneDrive, its safe. :)

Your face is sooo cute :* :* :*
-
Aww thank you!!!
-
I got the stripes on and stuck the feetpaw pads on! I decided to do a kind of dance to see how it moved, here it is!

I just need to add the spots and the feathers, but it works for now!

This post is a bit old but
I was re reading this post the other day and i noticed something;
You're not that great at furring imo (no offense, don't take it harshly! ;) [size=78%])[/size]
I think the problem is that you're using a glue gun instead of sewing, although i do know that its hard to make it smooth!
The area especially on the muzzle looks 'rough' if you know what i mean. I would suggest sewing just the muzzle and glue-gunning the rest :D
-
Heya! And yes, I couldn't hand sew this head, I messed up my wrists pretty bad, and I didn't know how to blanket stitch at the time :P I was rushed a bit so I couldn't wait for my wrist to get better, and I don't want to rip any of the foam and re-stich it. XD I want to make her again simetime, I really don't like how big the muzzle is.
Oh! And I did smooth out the foam, I just didn't take any pictures of the head all smoothed out. And dull scissors didn't help much. XD
I also need to work on shaving the fur better... it's just sad. :P
-
Looks pretty kewl anyways :)

Just wanted to share this, it was so much fun!! I went to the Renassaince Festival here in Colorado on the last day of their summer, and IT WAS EPIC OH MY GOSH
