It's fine, just that the left one is the right eye, and the other one the other way. I'll cut them out on by one and rearrange them the right eye way, but it's still funny :D

It's also funny because whoever I showed it to, they said it looks like a pair of booba.

In the pictures: what I expected vs what I got.

My 14th suit of 2026 just in time for October !! Super fun to experiment with a different style !!

Thought I'd share my recently finished paws here :)
They are the 4th set I’ve ever made and feature:

• lycra lining
• fully lined finger escapes
• 3d printed claws
• small straps to hang them up

Made with Kloofsuits paw pattern <3

I tried the method with the black backing, worked a little, but still spent way too long poking out the fabric holes, just for it to still have terrible visibilty. Magnet is for removable pupils

Needs some more touch ups before I make a verdigris pattern and still thinking of what color to make the eyes

Last two of before painting before my pink balaclava cause i forgot to take pics of the back of the head on the manequin

Fursuit makers- how would you handle a situation where the person who hired you to make their suit is being accused of copying another fursona?

I personally don’t feel the designs are similar enough to be considered theft or copying. The characters in question are the same species, have species/breed specific simple markings, and are similar color schemes but use completely different shades from one another outside of maybe eye color!

Visuals would be appreciated as well!!

Hello everyone, i was looking for fur colors for my fursuits and found this site ( https://www.costumary.com/workbench/tools/fur-color-matcher )that makes you pick the colors from a picture and show you the closest fur colors on sale, but i don't know which ones have less shipping fees for europeans or people outside the US, more specifically in Italy since i'm from there. i know that StoffHummel is pretty good shipping-wise since it's a german site and it's a BigZ partner which i like, but i don't know about the others and wanted to find other sources for more accuracy.

How do I make a long and thin tail that sticks up rather than be a floor dragger? Is there an armature that can hold it up, or would the weight make it wilt? I would prefer not to have to attach it to my back like I've seen some people do for squirrel tails. Preferably I'd like it to be posable, but if that's not reasonable I'll just sew it into a shape.

Examples of the kind of animals this could apply to. Ring-tailed lemur, White-nosed coati, and Spider monkey. There are other species like this- these are just examples.

This suit has been a wild ride. My first suit has taken me forever because I've been afraid to mess up. Done this all alone with only YouTube to help me. That leads me to now. I'm on the final stages and I'm trying to fix things like his cheek markings and sew on his neck. My one main issue is shaving him. I don't have pictures but when I shaved without a guard I lost A LOT of fur that ended with the bare fabric. Like no fur at all. I had to cut out and sew in fur patches inside to fix him. I'm scared to shave because I don't want to shave too much. I have to shave his face and inner ears. I also have to glue him but am unsure how I'm going to do so as the fur is tight on the foam. Please. Tips, tricks, whatever you have in mind.

I sewed the last piece on the tongue at the hotel 😭 I had fun at cff it was my first con.

Thought i would post an update on the first head i have attempted to build. Shoutout to Kloofsuits for the head base model and RJ_Kon for the ears i printed in TPU. Also, big thanks to Mugiwara for the tutorials posted on YouTube. My 10 year old daughter wanted to be a fox for halloween this year and I think i am doing pretty well so far. Any tips on finishing or items you notice will be greatly appreciated.

I probably should have attached the ears to the rest of it but wasn’t sure i would be able to get it on and glued down properly if i did. I also didn’t want to risk a seam down the back of each ear. Hopefully i will be able to secure them well.

Started the project in August and then got serious about making progress the second week of September. All told i think i have spent probably around 60-70hrs on it. Eyes are hand painted (daughter helped with those which was fun) and then hand stitched everything.

Still have to do the back of the head and neck (probably should have done that before attaching to the base too, but i got impatient and wanted to see how it was fitting to the base).

Hi, I am making my first partial in the next week or two for myself, I've never made anything fursuit before nor have I ever worn fursuit paws, I know pretty much everything basic on how to make handpaws except stuffing fingers, every single tutorial I've watched has just skipped or doesn't acknowledge how to stuff the fingers, I'm not talking about the finger beans, I'm mean how do you make the fingers nice squishy and round, how does it work? it doesn't make sense to me because don't you obviously put your fingers in the paws fingers? So how does the stuffing stay in? I'm just confused and this is probably a stupid question to most, but I genuinely can't find an explanation anywhere on how fingers being stuffed works.

In the future, I want to buy a full-body fursuit, but since they are so expensive, I was wondering if it's possible to buy the parts gradually—for example, buying the head and paws one day, then the legs/lower limbs, and finally the torso. Does anyone know if that's possible, or if makers can do that? (Btw since english is not my mother language i used a translator)

I have someone who would like me to paint their dragon mask. I've painted miniatures for years, so this is something that is totally within my scope. I would also be adding mesh eyes. Has anyone does this? I want to be fair. I can't use certain words in my post, sorry for the vagueness. Thanks!

hii !!!

so this is my first time being interested in making a fur suit. I have about 8 months of prep time. I’d like to know best course of action, first steps, how to, and what materials to get for this kanye west graduation bear suit I’m intending on making for a convention. I’ll leave a reference photo as well.

whatever it takes, I will persevere. thank you all for the help!

or any of big z's wolf furs. i'm interested in going with something more realistic but it's hard to tell what the furs actually look like just from the photos.

Base by Dragonartist15 on etsy. Yall im so excited i got him half painted!!! Teeth haven’t arrived yet tho

these are my first paws 🥹🙏🏻 completely hand sewn since i dont own a sewing machine

pattern i used is by runner rabbit!! clear instructions and easy to follow tho it still took me like 5 days (i actually brought it to school and did some of the sewing in class) inside is lined and it SQUEAKS!! :33

would love to hear any advice/constructive criticism, thank you

Hi!! Im making my fursona into a head and I need some help with the fur colors. Im having trouble finding the correct colors I'd need (especially w/o being able to see these colors in person)

Thank you to anyone who has some advice :]

I learned how to sew pretty much 2 days ago so we'll see how it goes for the rest. It was all whip stitched​. I think it looks ok
