Project Updates 2/25/13

I got lazy yesterday and I didn't bother to update this. Oops.

 

I added the fur to the head and got it glued on.

And here it is partially shaved down.

I won't be working on the fursuit this week. I'm going to take a break for a bit and focus just on art and work. So no updates next week.

I still need to shave the head down a little bit more and I need to fix the mask. The jaw doesn't open anymore unless i hold on tight to the head. I think it has to do with the balaclava. I think I put it in weird.. Hmm..

Yay, new update.

I got a lot done this past week.

First of all, I got the eyes installed and added eyelids and lips. Top picture shows the eyes glowing. Bottom picture shows the eyes off.

I'm sad that I didn't take more pictures. But a friend of mine asked me to stream some fursuit work. During the stream I made the ears and padded out the face a little bit. I also added some buckram into the nose to keep people from being able to see my face through there.

After all that, I attached the balaclava to the inside of the mask and made a duct tape dummy for the head.

Since then, I have sewn up the pieces to the mask. I made a small error I'm trying to fix... But once it is fixed, I'll be able to glue the fur down, attach the neck, and shave the face. 

I also started on the handpaws. The pieces for both paws are cut out and pinned. I'll finish the mask before I start sewing them. All I need to order now are the pawpads for all four paws.

And this is everything. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Keep your eyes open for updates next Sunday.

Project Updates 2/9/13

I have more updates for my fursuits! Yay!

I got my resin blank today, so I've been working in for the past several hours. I ordered a blank, teeth, tongue, and LED eyes from DreamVisionCreations. If anyone was thought about ordering from them, do it!! My items are amazing! I've only had problems with the eyes so far (getting them to stay in place).

But as promised, here are some pictures!

 

Top: The LED eyes. They're purple!

Bottom: The blank, teeth, tongue and eyes with the LEDs off.

 Here's the mask with the mouth installed and elastics added! There's just enough room for my glasses with this mask.

And here's the nose! I painted it pink then added a little bit of glaze to keep the paint from chipping. :)

I attempted to add the eyes, but the heat from the hot glue made the paint peel off. I forgot to add glaze.. Oops. I repainted them and the glaze has been added. Tomorrow night I'll be adding the eyes and then I'll start working on the ears. Monday I'll pad out my mask a little bit. 

I'm hoping that Tuesday I'll be able to start on the pattern. By March, I'd like to have the the mask completely done. But we'll see what happens. Especially with work and stuff.

And this is everything I have to update... I'll try to post a new entry every Sunday to show progress of my fursuit! c:

-Squeeeee- I got my fur today~ *Rolls in it*

I did not stream my fursuit feet like I promised. I ended up working on the privately, and they're now all foamed. I'm going to work on my tail test, and once the pattern has been perfected, I'll set the full tail.

Once the tail is all finished, I'll make a pattern for the feet, test the pattern, then fur it.

I'm still waiting for the stuff for the head to get here. According to DVC, I'll get an e-mail when everything is sent out. Once it gets here, I'll be able to work on my head.

I'm planning on ordering pawpads soon, too. I would like to order those as soon as I can so that I can have them when I'm done with the head. It'll take at least 3 weeks for them to get here. But I'm excited!

Hopefully I can  get some pictures of something interesting soon. c:
