  • After proof of concept worked, I went to town fussy cutting & carefully, selectively sticking washi PET tape to onto the saddle. Some of the stickers were really hard to get wrinkles out of because of curves in the sculpt, some I just had to accept.

  • This has definitely been a ‘trust the process’ project because after the initial antiquing I was convinced I’d ruined it. I also switched some colours around on the saddle and went with dark pawpads/lips compared to the original concept which I think looks much better.

  • Started on the windstone barong pyo. I’ve planned this one around an apple theme & am planning to do some experiments with washi tapes for the saddle decoration.

  • Put the finishing touches on the commission pyo. Using model foliage on a sculpt was new for me, but I’m so pleased with how selective foliage placement has made this 💯 more awesome!

  • Here’s all my parts for the fursuit collab I’m doing with @urboros! These parts are for the green fantasy bird skull mask they are making and feature a wired feather fan in the tail, hidden tail belt loop, and conductive thread fingertips (so you can use your phone in suit!). We’re aiming for the full…

  • I love how with some antiquing and details, windstone sculpts suddenly pop to life! I’m calling the painting done on this now. I’m planning to selectively gloss parts of the dragon to bring out the metallic colours & see if adding some model foliage to the rock will make this more awesome.

  • Last part of the collab with @urboros is coming along nicely. The stretch gloves are completed and the thumb/index/middle feature conductive thread so you can still use your phone whilst wearing. The claws were sanded & their sew holes were drilled, making them now ready for paint.

  • Moffy is super difficult to photograph! The mask (so far) features an iridescent paint job, moveable ear tufts, moving jaw, and orange glow eyes. This mask isn’t finished yet. I am planning to add a fur hood with included rooster feathers, but that’s going to have to wait until I have more money for materials.

  • Feather fan of the collab tail is completed and ready to be sewn into the main tail section. I chose to appliqué the feather lines to make them stand out more and give a bit more strength for the internal wire that’ll keep the fan nice & stiff.

  • Completely forgot to take photos of the assembly process. You’ll just have to believe me that it had to all be handsewing & was obnoxious. The last step is to give these paws a haircut – I love seeing the difference a trim makes!
