you're using a wire frame? bad idea! with wire frames, it is so easy to cut/injure yourself! I recommend putting a little foam underneath the wire, to protect yourself.

Updated! So it turns out there was a warning in step one, but it was not obvious enough at all. I added some caps and stars to make it easier to find. c:

Oh, okay! Thank you for the warning, but check this out: I only make these guys for myself so I'm not endangering anyone else, and I'm fully aware of the consequences. Actually, I've been making masks this way since the early 2000's. (There's even foam and fabric under the fur, but you can't see it in the photos, my bad!)
Unfortunately, you found my one image without a wire danger warning on it, but I thank you for that too! I'm gonna go slap one on there right now, I can't believe I missed that.

it's really a relief to hear that your suit isn't all wire! c: so stay safe! (Like I need to tell you that! XD )

Did you just glue the fur onto the wire frame? Or was there foam in between the gaps?

For Repede there is no foam involved. I find he 'breathes' a little better without it, and the frame gives him enough shape as it is. There is a lining on cotton fabric on the inside now though; it sandwiches the wire between fur and fabric to keep anything from coming loose.

its an interesting idea to have the area you actually look thru below the "eyes" of the fursuit head

Such a great costume. You should be very proud of yourself. I am impressed on how well you kept to the original style of the character.

Nyahaha~ Lol.
Yeah, she's like... My cosplay mascot. She loves to play in the fabric when I roll it out, jump on my lap when I'm handling the hot glue gun, roll my pens and small props under the couch...
Her name is Precious. Boy, is she ever. X'D
