Needed a new project so figured, why not make a fursuit?
Right now i only plan to do a partial, head and arms.
Going to carve out foam into a mask, furring right over head like a hood cause my head is big enough.
Made my dtd head and am glueing foam sheets together for head, attached is a shot of my shape sketch, shape look decent?

The shape looks good, I don't have a lot of experience in fursuiting (none to be fair).
But I do have some experience in building/glueing stuff so if you have questions about that: ask me

I don't know if you'd like some feedback, but if you're going to go with toony, I'm going to warn you: Make the eye-holes bigger, trust me x3
-
Way ahead of you, those holes were to make sure im all lined up.
Cutting out shaded areas big enough you think?

Hah, cool :D
I think so, yeah, judging by the photograph.
What you could always do is first see how you'd make the eyes. Something I at least find helpful when I made my head (only have to attach one ear, but that's been taking me two years to do for some reason :P). So I made the eyes separately, plopped them onto the head, and found out the eyes were pretty damn small on the head for the style I was going for.
Dunno if that helps? ^^;
-
Sounds good, haven't gotten that far yet, locals are using painted screens so was planning on that but ill look around.
-
Painted screen? o:
That sounds nice.
-
Ok after looking around i think im gonna make my own, painting some plastic mesh.
-
Woot! Thanks

Well, you're good on track.

also possum completely unrelated note are you going to the burlington comic con this weekend?

Wasnt planning on it

You might want to cut the mouth open, even a little bit. It's a REALLY important air vent.
-
Yeah been thinking about that and was wondering about taking off bottom jaw to make it movable
-
Looking good Possum, can't wait to see it when it's all finished.
