SpaceFox† 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2012 Wow, that's looking good! Is the head tight or loose? Looks like some toony eyes would be better to see through but some follow-me eyes would scary! Are you going for scary? The eyes are what makes the character, make sure its what you want others to see you as Keep up the good work- Space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmayaHippogryph† 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2012 I think it's a bit loose on me. But before I put the fur on it moved really well. I think the fur is too tight somewhere. I'm not sure if I want to go for scary or not. I've considered toony eyes, but I am leaning more on the resin eyes. She'll have bright green eyes, but if I make them out of resin I don't think they will be follow-me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the fur weighs it down and then it just isn't as great as when you had it foamed! It's most depressing! What I did that worked out wonderfully, was I glued elastic to the back of the lower jaw and pulled it as taut as I could before I glued the other end down inside the mask. I used two strips of woven-non slip elastic. Be sure it's woven. It's a stronger stretch and support. Black elastic should work best for you can't tell that you did anything or messed up when people see you. Hope that helped! All in all, it's nice to see a fellow Christian making a fursuit! Keep up the good work! I'm liking what you have alll ready! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problem, hon. Just use as much as needed until you're happy. Be warned, until the elastic stretches a bit, you might become a little choked for a while, but it should stretch out, yet keep your jaw taut and keep that talking illusion we all want so badly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
