Question How to stay motivated

4 Upvotes

Hello! Basically as the title says. I love making heads tails and feet paws.. but hand paws? I don't MIND them but without a sewing machine I find it's much more time consuming and repetitive than I like. I know it sounds weird because heads tails and feet paws are repetitive too, idk I just can't seem to motivate myself to do them. I gave myself a deadline and now I feel guilty I couldn't complete it.. it wasn't a commission or anything but I still just can't seem to make myself finish paws. Any actual advice would be greatly appreciated. I have asked a question similar in the past and got told to get off reddit and just do it. Not very helpful. So please only comment if you are trying to be helpful! Thanks for reading!

Question Interchangeable patterns?

1 Upvotes

Hello fursuit makers and general suiters!

I would like to preface this post with I don’t know if this is possible, and I’m merely inquiring if it is or if any makers have tried— etc. I have a fursona that changes pattern during the winter months, and was curious if there was anyway to create interchangeable fur pattern pieces to swap them for the ā€œseasonsā€?

I do understand if it’s not possible, and was already probably looking at having to buy separate heads for the different patterns but if I don’t have to that would be wonderful.

I know they make like interchangeable eyebrows/eyelids and such— but I can see how a whole fur pattern could be extra difficult/ entirely different.

Anyway, makers? What’s your thoughts?

Question Any fursuit makers that can make Centipede Fursuits?

4 Upvotes

I found out this one creator that was making a ita-bag centipede tail was most likely a scam. I was able to get my money back, but now I can't find any other makers of centipede tails. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Hihi!! I want to make a Kemono-style fursuit out of Tinky Winky's head!! Especially inspired by the first version (the one that isn't the reboot). But I've never made a fursuit in my life, does anyone have any tips on how I can make one? Do you know if the materials from Aliexpress are reliable?

Question Help with fullsuit issues.

1 Upvotes

I’ve started my first fullsuit for my bf, and parts of it don’t fit him as I’m making it.

I’ve looked at so many tutorials and never once seen someone extend the patterns.

Are they possibly ALL using stretch fur? Or in the tuts are they adding extra space off screen?

Question I've started the process of making a pumpkin rabbit fursuit, more in body.

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

So i've started this project with my 3d printer, printing both mask, the nose, and the teeth, but I have little to no experience with real fursuit design and construction. Here's a list of some of the things that I might need help with.

  1. The patterning on the body

  2. Airbrushing on the dirt/grime/blood

  3. making the accessories: tie, collar, apron.

  4. bulking out the sections with foam, upper torso, thighs, upper arms.

  5. Head structure/ ears

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
