Tail?

Please stay on topic.

Some people actually take foxes or other animals killed by cars and use their fur. I support this, because at least part of them dosn't go to waste.

I somewhat agree but I think they should be buried. Thats the better way.  I can't stand these women and their fur coats. even if the animal was dead or alive

[on topic] Yea, its not too hard to make your own tail, and its usally cheaper than what people are willing to make them for.
But there's a whole bunch of people on FA who do that kinda thing. [/on topic]

The tails cost what they do because good faux fur is expensive. though I do know a few good tail makers. One I found on FA makes awesome tails from yarn! They look semi realstic and move like a real tail would. When i get home I'll dig up the URL.

Go with making your own tail, it make a better sentimental thing. I made my own and I love it as if though it was real.
As for your fursona, I would agree with Tyla. Choose something that best fits you. There is nothing wrong with hybrids as well. I am think making a Wolf-Bear fursona. I choose mainly the animal characteristics.

At this point, my plan is to defffinitely make a tail. although one question still remains. any suggestions for the framework of the tail? I think someone said something earlier about rope but i had a weird thought that a garden hose might do the trick as well. probably wouldn't be very comfy to sit on tho

have any of you guys ever seen brothers using chains to make tails?

as far as i know i've only seen canine based tails use the technique but it's so effective;          you basicaly get a section of chain (apparently, plastic coated works the best as it makes no noise) and from what i gathered from the guy who told me about them, you attach each portion of fur to it and fan it out (whatever that means). anyone ever seen 'em? and can anyone offer a better explanation of how they work than me?

here's the best vid i can find out one working, but i've seen better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9U6fyd26zc

My friend used an industrial grade chain in one of his tails for swing. It didn't go well. m.m;

[josh_down]

i guess industrial grade ones would suck ... far too heavy

[Tyla]

Well he told me it was actually okay. He had to remove it though, considering problems in the area. He's actually offered to help me with stuff too. :p

I wanted to buy a tail on ebay, but it's real fur, I'm debating buying it or not, but I'm leaning towards not buying it.

http://www.limebarbstores.com/ this site has some faux fur fox tails (tongue twister) and some ears. They look ok.

I've only found a wolf tail pattern while looking for patterns, and it was just directions for making your own pattern. :'(

Anyone know where to get actual tail patterns.

Wanting to make a few ear and tail sets for friends, and my own fursona.
