    I never really considered myself a furry in the past. I liked the idea of anthro characters and enjoy the art online, but I never had any real desire to make an OC or go to a con. I went to Comic Con last weekend to meet a friend irl for the first time ever, and he introduced me to a bunch of lovely people who happen to own fursuits. I was absolutely enthralled! I made fast friends with a few of them and they invited me to stay with them at their hotel, and join them for the third day of comic con, and even paid for my ticket because I could not afford it! I spent the first day being their Handler, and they decided not to wear their suits on the third day (they had full suits so it was really hot) but one of them was kind enough to let me wear her suit around for the day! that one weekend has made me absolutely obsessed with fursuits and conventions and stuff. I had SO MUCH FUN! I am actively looking into building my own suit because I certainly cannot afford to commission one, and your videos are AMAZING at assisting me in my endeavor. I have to learn all of this from scratch because I have zero experience or knowledge of tailoring, sewing, etc. I even made a fursona to showcase my newfound desire to express my feelings. Furries are amazing and I love you! thank you for being so unapolagetically wholesome. I will try to finish my head and handpaws so I can go with my new friends to MCFC in a few months. it will be my first furcon and I am so excited to finally join the rapidly expanding ranks of the furry fandom.

    I just bought tickets to a con for my 10yo, and they've just informed me that they don't want a "costume" style they want a fur suit and I panicked. I'm out of my depth here lol this tutorial has me feeling SO much better! Thank you so much! Now off to attempt to make a dog day fur suit for a 10year old 😅

    I followed your old tutorial and used 1" foam for my first base back in 2021 and I think it still turned out great. Imma still improve from then by using denser foam and NOT stacking the muzzle horizontally 😅

    Fun fact, (I learned this while messing with EVA foam and hot glue) apparently sweat makes it so that you can wipe it off easier, and it won't stick. Of course, be careful, and don't do this - I just happen to do this while getting into the flow of work. It also works if you're quick enough on wiping off the hot glue that's just been put down, but, again, don't do this.

    On the mannequin head thing. Lincraft, $20(ish) Foam Mannequin heads, usually sold for wig styling. If you grab one with a noticeable deformity, they may even knock a dollar or 2 off the price at the register (do not attempt to damage one for a discount though, they are watching you at all times for that.)

  • @lionessahedgie9237
    @lionessahedgie9237 8 місяців тому +1

    this is a great method for bucket heads and all but my go to method is what I call the 'royal crown' method. I measure from the very top of my head to the chin for the vertical measurement, then glue the piece into a tube like normal, then take two sides of the top and bring them together, make a mark at the bend, and draw that mark all the way around to use that as a guide for the next step which is to make a zigzag pattern all the way around, with each angle touching either that line or the edge of the tube, to make a crown. I usually do it so there's only 7 or 8 triangles to glue together on top. this method makes a way smoother top of the head I've found.
