I like to make birds. <3

So I bought this base off aliexpress and it included the teeth but they don't really fit sooo do I carve a hole for fitting them or...?

I'm really confused on how they can fit :(

It's not technically for a fursuit but I figured you guys are the experts on this sort of stuff. I'm making a selkie sealcoat, this will not get any stuffing. Its two-sided but the little rounded "toes" don't all stay out so well, I'm wondering if I should topstitch them which is how you'd fix that with regular fabric but don't see anyone topstitching (fake) fur anywhere..
I also still need to add the blue stitching to give the flippers some more shape, idk if that might help them keep their shape better.

Hi! I’m new but I wanted to ask about how to possibly do or describe to an experienced fursuit maker how to do the rainbow on her tummy. Iris means a lot to me and I want her to look her best. If anyone can give advice I would appreciate it!

I really need to get better videos, but here they are in action. I’ve also released STLs for the original 3D printed version.

Hello, I've been wanting to get into fursuits for a little bit now and I want to start work on my first head. I watched a little bit on the basics from the original Reddit post (before it got taken down(?)) and saw the bucket head base being very tight to the face. I was a bit worried and it sort of disincentivized me since I need glasses and thought that it would be difficult to incorporate them into a head. I have the idea of my head, an Eevee for cosplay, and I wanted to know if anyone could help me out.

Also, I saw that there were molds or something that were similar to the head shape I wanted Eevee in, but didn't think too much about them until I started getting a bit more interested in making my first head. Are those more feasible for glasses wears or are they just something you stick onto a bucket head?

Any help would be nice!

I cant believe she’s almost done!! Just need the rest of the hair & her neck

Not sure if its technically a fursuit, but would this work? I've got EVA foam and foam clay, and though maybe I could stretch minky/fleece over for the colour

Just finished up these puffy paws! Pic 1 is before the second round of shaving, trimming/shaping, and blow drying. Pics 2 & 3 are after. I plan to make a matching tail so if you guys have any suggestions on shape (ex: curly, straight, nub, etc) let me hear it! You could even leave a doodle of a shape :)

Complete with:
-finger escapes
-insides fully lined
-stuffed paw pads
-stuffed puffy fingers
-patterned minky
-thick elastic cuffs
-metal D rings + carabiner
-minky claws
-symmetrical design

Sorry for the delete and repost I wanted to get you guys much cooler photos ♥️

This is Ace - he is my first ever fursuit head I ever made. He is based off my character from Splatoon (last pic). I con crunched this head since said con was right around the corner, hence I didn’t have time to attach the tentacles before completing the head. As the title of this post implies, is there any way to attach the tentacles on other than directly gluing them down? It’s very hard to stick the needle through the fur and dried glue, I think it’s impossible to stitch it on that way. Magnets seem too late to do since the inside of the head is already fully lined. (Second last pic is how he currently looks for reference.) Any suggestions are appreciated.

Waiting on the displays to deliver to work on the electronics, though fur is here so I'm going to start patterning that.

So I've been working on my suit basically since the beginning of May. He is looking good but a bit scruffy is there anything I could do to make it a little less scruffy? If not I'll probably just leave it as is.
