Scootaloo1 106 December 8, 2011 Share December 8, 2011 O.o Wouldn't foam balaclava base be the best way to start? Although, foam isn't the easiest to find in some places... it took me a while to find a good price for mine >.> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You got a problem with blank flanks?

cuteycindyhoney 13,307 December 8, 2011 Share December 8, 2011 When the suit is complete, don't forget to post a picture of the finished work. I'd very much like to see it. Thank you Sparklefan1234!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also,if the mesh is over your face, it's not gonna be so comfortable to wear. Balaclava based heads are most comfortable, and easiest to build off, and going all foam are reeeeally comfortable as well. I for one would not have commissioned my head from someone who used mesh, just my honest opinion. From a fursuiter, you want whats most comfortable, especially when you wear to a con. ^^ DO post more WIPs though, I wanna see how it all comes together!

w1kk3d 56 December 8, 2011 Share December 8, 2011 I found good fir for about $15 a yard. So it'll be about $100 just for the fir. Foam, i'm not sure how much that is, but the eyes are my biggest problem for this. it shouldn't be more than $150 i'm thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colon Leftbracket 971 December 8, 2011 Share December 8, 2011 Looks interesting. I know little to nothing about fursuits. I definitely couldn't make one myself since my hands might as well actually be hooves for how useless these things are when they're not playing videogames or typing on the computer.

FLARE 952 December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 I have no idea what a fursuit is.. can someone explain what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Shoe 20 December 9, 2011 Share December 9, 2011 I have no idea what a fursuit is.. can someone explain what it is? It's something from the furry community, basicly a suit like mascots have in footbal matches QUOTE OF THE MILLENIUM 난 한국인, 특히 동성 사람을 희롱하는 사랑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really gets me is ears... ears are the most inconvient thing on humans. always hurt in the cold, always get shot in the ears when you paintball... plastic mesh is sure to cut into them..
