Started work on the wings portion of the fursuit project. K’rahmyteh has smallish, stubby wings akin to a kakapo. These feathers were designed via a combination of sketching out a full sized wing using a photoshoped me with kakapo wings, sketching out the individual feathers, then modifying #SunnybrookOne’s raven wing feather pattern to match my…

SOUND ON. I convinced my partner to help do antler install on his mask. We couldn’t decide whether the squeaking sounded like our birds chuckle laugh or a distressed dolphin 🤣

Finished feetpaws. Pattern by Kemocube on etsy, with the modifications of claws and padded lining. These are super comfy and squishy! Would be great for a partial fursuit/costume or even as indoor slippers.

Progress on the sockpaws. The pattern said I could set claws into the darts, but that didn’t work so well as they all ended up too low on the foot and bend into the floor. Something to note for future use.
