Description Meant to be 2 foxes (one realistic, one cartoon) but I think I ended up making a husky for the cartoon. I dunno. With the right fur, could I get away with it being a fox? X3 The one on the right is sporting a new style of jaw from me and I must say this is my most sensitive one yet!

Hey there, I love your fursuits alot, I just wondered if you could help me with something?
Do you know where to get these 'fans' that go in the fursuit head?
Also, Do you know where I might find long hair, (for a fringe) of the fursuit head?

I use two main mediums. Foam and resin. Clear cast resin for the eyes. You don't look through them, you look through the tear ducts.

Sharpe19 In reply to Fruba [2010-04-10 05:21:54 +0000 UTC]

I honestly don't know what the material I use is called. It's a see-through material, not mesh.... I don't know what it is, I need to find out. Sorry.

Fruba In reply to Sharpe19 [2010-04-10 12:54:21 +0000 UTC]

its ok, but thank you! clearly these materials are better then cardboard
and your stands for the heads, those are Styrofoam heads or something?

Dogmapocalypse [2010-02-11 20:18:27 +0000 UTC]

I think the ears and a few good markings can easily make the toon one look like a fox
It actually reminds me of this [link] picture I found floating around in my fursuit reference folder.. Not sure where I ever found that though

Sharpe19 In reply to bambiboo3 [2010-02-11 21:33:25 +0000 UTC]

That's what the one on the right is. I do take commissions on bases, yes. Depending on what you want,they range from $100 to $200(extreme detail)

Owlivia [2010-02-11 18:00:15 +0000 UTC]

Maybe a narrower snout/smaller jowls on the toony would make it more like a fox?
The moving jaw sounds good. Vids when it's finished?

I think it could totally pass as a fox because it is cartoony but I agree with others that the muzzle is a tad broad

And that other mask is GORGEOUS so far

They're comin' to life XD

I think that on could pass as a fox OR a husky, whatever you make it to be. Ive seen foxes that look like that.

They're lookin good! ^^

What did you use for the eyes? o.o

Cool!^^ Both are commissions but I'm thinking on adding a husky to this mix as well. Realized I hadn't made one yet.

Paint pallet. Round holed plastic paint pallet. Makes for some marvelous eyes.

Instead of cutting them out I just poured resin into it. Works just as great! I got myself some eye blanks. XD

Have fun getting them out. I've heard you have to have mold release or something. If not, lemmy know how that turns out. I'm always looking for new ways to cast eyes.^^

dragongirl995 In reply to Sharpe19 [2010-02-13 23:58:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh no no you DO need mold release. I already have that and used it before I put it in ^^ Takes 3 seconds to push it out. Its really a perfect mold for taxidermy eyes of that size. ^^

it could be one! its toony so the snout is a little more broad :-p but im used to realistic. i see more husky/wolf though!

have you made a husky yet?!!!

Sharpe19 In reply to roadkillonroute3 [2010-02-11 06:02:45 +0000 UTC]

No, no I haven't yet. Made a 'yote that could've passed as one, but not an official husky. Perhaps it's time I make one?

It wouldn't be hard to narrow the muzzle up a bit if I needed to.

roadkillonroute3 In reply to Sharpe19 [2010-02-11 16:08:46 +0000 UTC]

it may be broad looking since its right next to the realistic head.. just ask the commissioner if they like it!
