I don't really like to call myself a furry because I stay away from the fandom and don't really like the western furry art style very much. I like kemono (i.e., japanese furry) more instead for a variety of reasons.
Also sorry but I don't take commissions rn.
I haven't been doing much art since I've been working on a big project instead, which is now finished
I absolutley adore your fursuit as I've been practicing drawing kemono stuff, amazing work!I haven't been doing much art since I've been working on a big project instead, which is now finished
I'm actually working on my personal fursuit of a certain raptor atm and I'm wondering how you did the eyes like that? So shiny and cute! An overall amazing job on the suit.
I've got all of the making-of steps on that twitter I linked as well, as well as here: https://twitter.com/i/moments/1129458696650678272
relevant for the eyes:
start out with some plastic domes, I cut these to shape from an old candy container but you can buy similar plastic domes on amazon and such
then you add some white around the edges, I used some craft foam but something like card works as well. Glue it on
make some eyes and print them out, then cut out the pupil. My mistake was making the eyes "forward facing" when they should've been centered, which is why my head looks a bit cross-eyed and derpy from side views. I plan on redoing the eyes at some point to fix this and add better ventilation
then you add some car screen tint to the pupils so you can see out but others can't see in.
The method I want to try out next involves a mesh and printing on transparent paper, which gives better visibility and also you don't run into problems with air bubbles and warping like you do with the screen tint.

Finally if you want to get into kemono fursuits I strongly recommend watching this first:
That's really cute! I usually do more modern style fursuits, not overly toony and same faced though. I usually make my eyes from buckram and paint them, and make the whites from craft foam. I never really thought of adding screen tint to the plastic domes.
My raptor fursuit has a fleeced face, and then blue long pile for the hair ( I plan to style it), and slightly shorter for the feathered bits so I'm trying to get myself better with making the fur covering tighter, since wrinkles in fleece would be easier to see, the way you did fleece in the example looks really good even if it was just a test.
As a inexperienced maker, all 7 of my fursuits all being kinda meh, as I never really had a proper razor. I really look up to your work. Kemono fursuits are super cute, but I'm getting more into kemono art rather then the suits as like a side-thing.
Thank you! This was my first time making a fursuit but I do have a lot of experience making plushies.
The razor is just an inexpensive dog fur trimmer razor I got for like £25. I only used it on the head and hands.
Ah I see, I was stuck with using scissors for my whole time of fursuit making. Better get a dog trimmer!
