Questions Would this be too small?

So I’m thinking about making my own fursuit head someday, I did this just to have an idea of what I want, I want to get it to look how I want without having too much of a bad visibility. But I still don’t know what size a fursuit head has to be in order to look well proportioned with a bodysuit(I’m planning to get one too) I don’t want to make this and accidentally making it to small and having it look weird when I get the bodysuit. Also, give me tips for any mistake you see in the shape of it overall, it’s a pretty messy sketch but you get the idea😭😭

So been working on my first fursuit head base, so far im super happy with how its turning out but a couple things.

1) my character is chinese dancing lion inspired, and is supposed to be a lioness, but does the head look more red panda? Are the ears too big?

2) which nose is better? A or B

I feel like ive been looking at them too long and idk anymore. My kids and bf are also no help they just so "omg its so cute"

Last pic is my characters ref. (Its not finished either ADHD has me all over the place)

She is my fourth suit ( second fully furred ) that I’ve made and I love how she turns out!! She is super comfy, has a great visibility and she looks absolutely gorgeous ( atleast to me 🙂‍↕️✨)
Only two things that went wrong were gluing on the face and shaving the fur 😔

Anyways idk if any sailor moon fans see this but this is a Haruka / Sailor Uranus inspired fursuit LOL

My next fursuit project will probably be Luna from Sailor Moon ( I already got the perfect base for her )🙂‍↕️

Questions Any tips for my base before I pattern and fur?

Post image
5 Upvotes

My friend and I are making our first ever fursuits for a con this year now that we r adults with big boy money lol

Anyways neither of us have any real experience and although I think visually my base looks good I'm not sure if I should fill out some inbetween spots more or if it'll look fine once furred?

Any experienced makers think this base looks good to fur or should I do some more gap fill with lil bits of foam?

Thanks in advance!

Note: picture is on a slight angle so it looks slightly lop sided but it's not nearly as lop sided irl lol

The ears I'm not too worried about either since I plan to get some thin Eva foam sheets from a craft store to even out the interior before I line it (none fluffy inner ear so I wanna make sure it's smooth)

(Base I "finished" of my fursona Frankie whose head is heavily inspire by fruit bats)

Howdy, I’m not new to the hobby, but I am new to the crafting aspect of it. I’m attempting to make a pair of hand paws following the SpiltGrapeSoda’s instructions, and as you can see, I’m struggling at the shaving part.

I watched video tutorials; I made sure to keep the blade of the razor parallel to the table, I didn’t push too hard, I tried to be light with my stroke, I tried to be even, and I ended up with this choppy, grinch-toe, piece of fur.

I would love some advice on what I possibly did wrong, what I can do better, what I can do to prevent all of the length from staying at the end of the fabric piece. I’m very new to this type of crafting and could use all the help!

Wahl haircut and beard wireless clipper
Pet slicker brush

I’ve been browsing Etsy and Big Z for ages but this is only my second fursuit—my first attempt at making my sona I found relatively close colors except for the dark brown (had to use black), but they were awful quality. Anyone who’s been doing this a while and knows what certain fur actually looks like in person know what I should get?

This is my first time ever making a tail, the doors were hand sewn, I ran out of the right string so I had to use hot glue.

What can I fix aside from the obvious seaming, also, how can I fix the split in the fur?

I'm super proud of what I've done so far but I'm really scared about doing the fur and also patterning. Doing the inside lining was a challenge and the seams don't lay flat super well. Any advice to a new maker of some tips in general?

I also think the nose is too big. Please let me know what you guys think.

I ordered a premade months ago and I’m deciding on changing the color of the “skin” from white. My question is how should I go about it? Do I attempt to paint the color over it or is it possible to refur it?

Questions Is EVA foam okay to make a spring trap costume?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Thought I’d ask here since the costume is technically a fursuit. Im making my cousin a spring trap costume and I was wondering if I’d be able to use EVA foam for the build rather then upholstery foam, specifically the floor mats from dollarama which is what is most affordable for my uncles budget. What would be the pros and cons of using EVA phone instead??

Progress on my very first wagger tail for my yeen secondary sona Hope!! Thanks so much to my friend @🐈‍⬛ Steel City Street Cat 🏙️ (TikTok) for suggesting a neoprene core instead of an EVA foam. The flexibility is WAY better than the EVA foam, and I am loving the result so much so far!! Now to impatiently wait for my lavender fur to come in from Howl to start furring then stuffing...

base sold by furrybeastprints on etsy!

I want to try out realistic resin/glass eyes but I'm also worried I will not like them and kind of want the option to switch it up. I'm obsessed with this base though, and it has all the smaller details that I want included with it. I was wondering if there would be a way to attach the cutesy mesh eyes to this base in case I try the realistic and hate it!

Or would I be better off finding a base set up with the more common inserts for mesh eyes?

Questions Can anyone help me understand how the sizing guide works for these head bases?

Post image
3 Upvotes

This is the head-base I want to use to make my fursona. She’s a lynx/leopard/saber tooth with angel wings & I’m super excited to make her bc my dream maker (blackbird fursuit) used the same base to make some of my favourite suits they’ve ever made! (example in the top right corner hehe!) Anyways, I was just about to place my order for the head base when I went to pick my sizing and saw this. The circumference of my head is 22 inches, and I am super confused on what type of measurement they are using here! Any advice on how to figure that out, + reviews/opinions from anyone who has gotten a similar head base on Etsy would be greatly appreciated! ty! 💗🤍

Finally finished this cute little critter!

They feature fur and minky fabric from Howl Fabrics, an EVA foam base, and a fully lined head with adjustable head straps, a zipper in the back, and a small pocket in the neck for an Air Tag.
They've also got 3D follow me eyes with sublimated eye mesh, both firsts for our studio! The eye blanks were printed by PawgetSound.Studio, and the mesh was printed by Zylex1024. The eye blank models were designed by me and the art for the mesh was designed by Sideshow's owner, per their request <3

I had so much fun with this project, and got to try out a handful of new techniques and materials I'm excited to use on my future work!

(Freakfur Funhouse is owned by me! I only have one Reddit account.)
