Finished commission for egg_exotic on twitter. These have a lot of special features; finger escapes, semi hidden stripe details on paw backs, mitten string with paw liner attachment loop, & hidden deluxe tail belt loop. (my tail caps come with gore caps as standard cause they’re fun)

A set of soft indoor feetpaws made to match a commissioned pair of handpaws created last year.

This fox jaw gave me angst! Due to space/shaping constraints the jaws had to be set back a little further than I would’ve liked which posed issues for sculpting. The lower jaw was resculpted 3 times until it looked believable. The upper jaw needed extra gums to aid illusion of correct teeth placement due to positioning.

Miwak’s head is finished! I am soo happy with how they turned out.
Sadly, I’ve had several issues with commissioning his bodysuit, so he’s going to have to remain a partial for now until I can sort that out (fingers crossed next times the charm).

I have done the first pass of the haircut. This took several hours as I cut from the bottom up in layers to ensure a nice layered rag style. I’ll come back later to refine the overall shape, add some shagginess into the mane, and do the final shave on the face.

I decided to do a silver laced wyandotte paint job on this #windstones hen. It’s going to look amazing but painting the feather edges is screwing up my stigmatism! 😵💫

I was asked to show how I attach paw pads. I don’t applique as I don’t think it creates a realistic look. Instead, the pads are completely separate pieces that are made like a pocket, stuffed, then sewn into the fingers of the completed paws.

Gluing down Miwak’s face. It’s easy if you glue in stages and make sure the whole face is centred first, and if hot glue drips on the fur accidentally just wait until it cures then it cleanly picks straight off without damaging the fur.
The lower jaw gets glued once I’ve sewed the face and ear edges together, and given the face a final cleanup trim, and the mask jaws are reconnected. That has to wait until my new clipper blades arrive.
