What kind of razor do you recommend for shaving the fur..? And how much would a proper one be?

@shardthedragon9534 2 жыл бұрын

You already answered this in the premiere for me, but it might be worth having in the video for others: I've struggled to find a good chalk pen/pencil, making my pieces get lost in translation a bit from the difficulty marking and the lack of precision. (What kind were you using on the nose minky, if you don't mind sharing?) Since you were using just a black sharpie for the most part, does that mean those are safe to use and won't seep though the fur over time? (Which I had assumed would happen when using markers on fur backing?)

Where do you purchase your fur? I've finished my head base and I find your tutorials grate! C:

@thegreatindoors6848 2 жыл бұрын

When i use my tape pattern and make the fur, the tape goes on and fits perfectly as it should. However, anytime I sew the fur and stick it on, the fur doesn't fit! It's always too small or at a weird angle even though the pieces line up perfectly with the tape. Why is this, and what can I do?

@OttersMum 2 жыл бұрын

I have two questions if you don't mind. do you find your glue gun doesn't leak a lot of glue cuz I have a hard time finding one that doesn't 😕 As far as sticking down the fur have you ever used as spray adhesive?

Do you have any tips on making the head lighter? When I made mine it was pretty heavy, could I be using too much glue? Not sure if that makes a difference to the weight.

@SkyehighStudios 2 жыл бұрын

What mainly makes the difference is the density of the foam~ or the size of the head itself, glue by itself wouldn’t make it overly heavy unless you’re using it excessively

@joemama8916 2 жыл бұрын

The foam or the fur is prob to heavy.

I have 2 questions ! 1st is about safety gear, are anti-dust "paper" mask used in woodworking to protect against fine wood dust also ok for shaving ? I see you have a very big boi mask so I wanted to make sure I was using the appropriate equipement XD 2nd, how would you go about gluing the fur of a head featuring a moving jaw ? would sewing like you did to the jaws work as well for a toony moving jaw base ? great tutorial ! I'll be sure to watch it again !

@SkyehighStudios 2 жыл бұрын

The anti dust masks will be fine :3 I have never personally furred a moving jaw head properly, but I know you have to position the jaw open as you fur so that the fur can sit inside the hinge when it closes provided that’s how it’s patterned, I’m sure the rest of the technique would be fine!

Just ordered a head to be able to work on! That was not on your list! 17 euros added so to the costen. It is much more difficult to giving a form to the face area than body forms and you do it so goed. You are the first one i tik on abonomeren! :)

How much seam allowance do you add to the face pieces? Is it different than the seam allowance you’d put on a bodysuit?

@FernclawProductions 2 жыл бұрын

Should be the same seam allowance on a bodysuit piece, usually seam allowance is around half an inch for machine sewing, can be less if you handsew or if you're very confident with a sewing machine already! On stretchy fur/materials it's always better to have at least half an inch tho, as its easy to have them wriggle out of place
