(She's been finished for a few weeks but I haven't had the time to post until now🥲)
My first fullsuit, Sunbeam, is finally complete! And, she debuted at her first con! I met so many awesome people and I hope to take her to many more outings/cons in the future!
Thank you to everyone who gave me advice & kind comments on all of my WIP posts of her :)
Sunbeam's fullsuit is almost done!! I need to trim around all the details on the main body, but I'm contemplating shaving the entire thing down a little - the suit looks a bit bulkier than I imagined and I wonder if shaving it will help. At the same time though, I don't know if it will look good.
I am planning on adding shirring to hopefully help with the bulkiness & overall feel, but I'm not sure how much of a visual difference that'll make.
I realise that I should've decided this before sewing it all, but I had no idea how it would look until it was all together :')
Any and all advice is appreciated!
Finally finished my first footpaw! Man this thing was difficult :') I think it's turned out good though! I'm not entirely sure if I'm happy with the shave job, but please let me know your thoughts!
Now onto finishing up the 2nd one..!
2nd attempt at the toes! I think they look a lot better this time, but I'd really appreciate your opinions!
​
(I'm aware that one of the middle toes is a bit shorter than the other, that'll be fixed soon👍)
Currently making feetpaws for my manokit but im struggling with the toes. Do they look too flat? Too long? Too big? This is my first time making feet so I'm kinda winging it and I'm not super confident in how they look so far.
​
Any advice appreciated!
I've had this plush for as long as I can remember - she's very well loved and recently I tried to find photos of her new/in better condition to compare and well.. I couldn't find anything beyond an Etsy listing selling her for nearly £120. That got me incredibly curious - why is she being sold for so much? I have tried my hardest to find out ANYTHING about her but I just can't🥲
​
If anyone knows anything about this plush, or is able to find any sources of information please share! Even if it's something simple, I'd love to know!
Really happy with how they've turned out!! It was my first time shaving fur directly on the head - I did have to replace a couple parts that I shaved too short, but overall I think the process went well and I'm incredibly happy with the result!
The eyes were surprisingly tricky for me to figure out, but I managed haha!
They've got felt teeth & tongue which I think came out especially cute :)
Sunbeam's head is pretty much ready for glueing! I've done a rough shave and will tidy up certain parts once the fur is glued.
I've left some long fur at the base of the ears but im wondering if it'll look better if the entire ear is shaved short?
Is there anything else I should do before I glue the fur to the head? Really wanna make this the best I can so any and all advice is appreciated!
(Note that this is my first time properly shaving a fursuit head, so the shave job is not perfect🥲)
Edit to add: I'm currently working on the eyes - they're not ready to be put in the head yet, but Sunbeam will have eyes very soon!
Definitely needs more shaving and I'm heavily trusting the process😅 but so far (even though im not super far into it) it's coming together pretty nicely I think!
If anyone has any tips or advice please do share :)
Sunbeam's tail is finally done! It's not without imperfections, but I'm so so happy with how it turned out!
Is the trim job perfect? Not quite. Am I happy with how it looks? ABSOLUTELY :D
Got the opposite side to do and then the tail will be done!
Got the head taped and drawn on the pattern! I probably should've used different coloured pens to show where the colours differ, however I can't find any at the moment :')
Please let me know if anything needs changing - all advice appreciated!
Included an image of my sona for reference :)
Manokit WIP - they've got ears now! Need some opinions on them! Do I need to change anything? Is the size/placement okay?
