Some of you might remember the cutie-pie, but poorely built fursuit I made months ago named Callix. Well, I am making an Ewok and I just sat down to start tonight, when suddenly an idea hit me.
I've wanted to sell Callix for money for a while, now, but I didn't want to strip him. Even money isn't motivation enough to get me to promote my own finances because I had so much damn trouble constructing him .It still hurts to think about tearing up what I spent hours upon hours and sanity brain cells trying to make look good when, in the end, it wasn't actually that good. Not like I thought it would be.
So I was thinking. I'm making an Ewok and I'm making a suit for a friend. I've ran out of balaclava's except, the other day my mom provided me with one. If I convert Callix's fat head into my Ewok, I save time, foam, materials, AND I can make my friend's head base by using the new balaclava I have as well as pull parts I cut off of Callix and use them on her fursuit head.
This is, actually a great idea, because I built Callix waaay too big for a normal suit head and it would make a great huge Ewok head! Nice and cuddly!
I guess, what's left is me arguing with myself about my attachment to his current form and look. I've made mental notes that what i can cut off of him won't be going to waste. His muzzle can be sawed off and placed on my friend's head. So can his ears. They can be modified a bit and updated, I've figured out how to make realistic foam ears since his debut.
I like this idea and it gives me more motivation to it, but I'm just a bit sad to see him go. If you guys confirm it, I think I'll do it because it hadn't occurred to me how much use he could be of, before. Its hard, though because I haven't really used him and he's still in good shape, but, all the more to turn him into an Ewok!
Also, I feel so pressed for time. THis damn idea is an energy, time, and material saver!
Well, I'm not what the point of this is anymore, the more I type the more pumped I get. I guess, I'm sharing this because, if anybody on here has a fursuit that didn't quite...make it into the world and is about to be aborted, you can STILL do something with it to save time and energy. I hope I didn't waste space, but novice builders can use this if they made a suit and its just a no go, when it comes to selling it. Use its body parts and update it! You save soo much time!
