I feel sorry for whoever I commission to do my boi, he has these tiny spots on his leg that would *have* to be airbrushed *cri* I need to make him a fursuit friendly ref

My new fursona(s? They’re technically 2 personalities in 1 body so…) has leopard print but they’re rlly big and not realistic so I don’t think it’d be too bad (compared to my other Sona, Poptart)

I forced myself to limit the number of markings on my main sona yesterday. She originally had over 300 markings on her back ALONE (it was a marbling effect with neon green, black, and purple), and I reduced it to under 20. I made the markings larger, with fewer of them. Hoping to make my sona into a fursuit one day, so that's a start.

Great video Skye! Just a suggestion for next Maker Masterclass, could we have more photo's with examples of suits/designs that have the features that you are talking about? As a more visual person, this would really help me and I'm sure a lot of others would benefit as well.

Protip: Not mine. I'm doing a deer with moderate (for an actual deer) sized antlers, and by chance also stripes, including thin stripes. And a decently long hairstyle. And little freckles (maybe) Fortunately I've got sewing experience, and watching doll customizers has given me some ideas on the hair. It will require some testing as well, but I think latch hooking (and then fuzzing/furring out the yarn) might be a solution for adding thin stripes and markings, maybe also for making yarn wefts for the hair. I also have woodcarving experience, which works nicely with some modeling compounds, for the antlers. I only have myself to blame for this mess.

Two of my sonas that I actually plan to make suits of (my pfp included) were actually designed pretty much the same way she described here. I ordered fur samples and looked at what was available/affordable, and I ended up with a lisa-frank style cat and I love her!

@Matschen Жыл бұрын

It's kind of interesting to see how different fursuit makers philosophies are. I get excited when hearing about stuff like antlers or long hair. I'd love to build more of that. Right now I am working on a suit that has relatively big resin horns. They are quite heavy and not wearable for a long time so I am also making a second set of horns out of minky. They need to be removable for shipping anyways. The character also has antenna and a tail that is supposed to look like it is made out of a gel like substance. I see that as a fun challenge.

Tip to make your design fursuit friendly If it would cause depression or carple tunnel to make. Probably don't, remember fursuit makers are real people 😭 Also if you want a more complicated suit like a realistic one or a suit with compacated patterns, I recommend haveing some fursuit makeing experience or a friend who can fix the suit if it breaks

Never knew I commented on this. I'm getting a realistic base soon, and have planned to do a white and blue grey character. He def breaks so of these rules, and is probably slightly harder than my other mains, but I hoping to airbrush or paint everything. The main problem is that he's based off an oarfish and has a ton of spots and stripes, and has these spikey fins on this head, that reaches the tip of his tail.... aaaand his tail is quite long.

My sonas design is mostly pretty simple, i think, the fur only has three colors--base color, spots, and then these annoying little stars.
