Finished the bodysuit mockup. It’s mostly perfect as is, only edits that can be done when cutting the fur is adding extra seam allowance around the hip area & using a slightly longer zipper. I’ll add in sleeves once I get more calico. Meanwhile, I need a break from this project.

Taped up with the new pads and it looks so much better than the first attempt! After cutting the pieces off the dtd, I transfered them onto butchers paper so I could include seam allowance, ensure parts supposed to be straight were, and draft the crotch into the leg pieces properly.

I taped up with the padding and discovered I’d created the dreaded drumstick leg! Oh noes! #FursuitTutorials was excellent in helping me understand what went wrong (knee pads upside down and too small, wrong shaped pads, overstuffing). So I made up some new pads which already look so much better.

I’m very pleased with the rest & harness from #TwinBlueChimera as the mask now feels a lot more stable on my head with the weight now resting firmly on my forehead rather than my glasses! The crest rigging has been driving me insane…

Finished the mask modifications! The skull was way too flat at the front so I had to sculpt it out to get a more rounded shape. The grey stuff is apoxy sculpt to build out a flat surface to install the eyes (hot glue was too runny to successfully do a thick build-out, and I…
