    A little note I wanted to add about sharpies !! Certain colours will bleed through while others will be fine, so always check first :3

      exactly. When i made my first set of paws i wrote L and R so i could differ them. Well long story short the backing of the fur was way to thin and it bled through the fur easily

    • @dr.zypher
      @dr.zypher ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So true, I used a blue sharpies and washed my suit one day after a con and all the sharpie bled through and onto the fur! (The fur was white :[ )

    • @torridger

      Yes! Metallic sharpies are great as they won't bleed when washed.

    Making paws as a commission and man so many mistakes it's torture but the final result is always worth it

    another thing i would add is hot gluing your seams. I did this with my first dinomask partial, went to refurbish it, and i had to fully remake everything because all the fur was ruined from the hot glue. If anyone watching this hot glues seams, i would recommend learning hand sewing or getting a sewing machine it will save you so much time if you decide to refurb your suit. Im working on a different dinomask partial right now and its turing out way better then my first suit

    • @Kehy_ThisNameWasAlreadyTaken

      sewing is flat out a useful life skill, and opens a lot of doors in terms of being able to make and modify clothing to suit your wants and needs. And that practice with clothing/fur will loop back and help you with the other as well

    My first head I started in 2016, I only had really thick foam and ended up cutting sheets in half to get the right thickness-
    I came back to years later and it was unfinished so I decided to make another after getting the right foam and it's going great

    great videos! -Something i should do is get back into doing Tutorial video streams, or begin doing tutorial videos for my YT channel. After 16+ years building fursuits as a profession & income, maybe creating tutorials on various fursuit techniques is something i may look into doing while building current commissioned suits.

    I think I accidentally used too much hot glue for my foam base and now it feels a bit stiff when I try it on, especially in the cheek sections. Is there a way to fix that or are fursuit heads supposed to feel stiff from glue?

    • @everestjelly8982
      @everestjelly8982 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Suit head bases should be very plush and squishy, they are usually extremely light and you can completely squish it without really feeling any glue. If it’s not flexible like this, then you definitely added too much. In the end it shouldn’t make too much of a difference in the final suit. If you line it it should still be comfortable. People use solid bases from 3D printing or resin, so it shouldn’t be a big deal

      Depends, But it never hurts to start developing skills. If you make a fursuit, and it no longer fits, you'd at least have experience that allow you to remake it in the future. So I say, go for it!
