Materials / Construction
★ Heads:
• All fursuits I make are made using high density upholstery foam, which makes the head soft, squishy, and durable! I also hand sew most seams on the face for a smoother look! I currently don't offer any other base construction methods but hopefully that'll change in the future!
• The eyes are 3D-printed and the iris's are hand painted with acrylics and sealed. Any piercings are also 3D-printed and then spray painted.
• Teeth can be 3D printed (smooth and hard), made from spandex (smooth and squishy), or minky (soft and squishy). My style suits more simplistic style teeth sets, so please consider that if choosing me as a maker!
• The inside of the mouth is lined with black spandex for breathability. The inside of the head, neck, and paws are lined with spandex as well.
• The insides of the ears are made from either shaved fur or minky depending on your fabric selection.
• Any horns, spikes, etc. are made from minky and firmly stuffed.
• Tongues are also made from minky and are removable via velcro. Each suit comes with a long and short tongue by default unless otherwise specified.
• Eyebrows and eyeliner are made from a stiff felt. If you prefer the eyebrows to be part of the fur markings, this will increase the complexity of the suit and therefore may increase the cost
★ Paws:
The paws are also lined with spandex and I'm able to do 4 finger or 5 finger paws! Finger escapes can be added for an increased price! Paws and claws are made from minky although I'm happy to experiment with new materials if desired.
★ Tails:
• Tails are worn using a hidden belt loop embedded in tail and are either made with a foam base or stuffed with polyfil depending on the type of tail.
• Large super-motion shark tails are made from foam, while all other tails are stuffed. I'm also able to add zippers for easy removal of stuffing for an additional cost.
★ Fabric:
• The main faux fur and minky brands that I use are Howl Fabrics, FursuitSupplies, and BigZ Fabric, but if you have a specific brand/fur you'd like used on your suit, I'd be more than happy to try that out! I also use nylon spandex to line the head and paws.
• gradients on small parts such as horns and spikes are possible to achieve on minky through dye. This process is very time consuming and kind of a pain lol, so adding gradients will add an additional charge per color of gradient. Some types of gradients are simply not possible with the current selection of dyes available or with certain sizes of gradients due to my minunal setup, so please ask if you are interested in a gradient.
If there's something that I haven't done before on previous suits that you'd still like me to try, I'm always happy to work outside of my comfort zone as long as you have the understanding that the things I'm doing for the very first time may not come out perfect! >_<
