I just finished a quick ref sheet for a character that I'm going to build with a friend (the said friend made the original design, which we tweaked up a little color wise), and I have couple questions regarding on building a full suit.
(Ref and more text under the cut)...
So here's his reference ! He doesn't have a name yet, but we rund this project under the name "Bro".
He's a nyala, the ref doesn't really show it since this was really quick and ended up looking a little like dog. He is not supposed to be realistic, but I will try my best to not make the suit look like a dog.
He will not have regular nyala horns, because I'm reusing LED horns I already have which are just simple horns.
We're going to use Luxury shag fur (Black, Gray, Turquoise and White) on everything but the tummy, which is going to be white Beaver fur.
Hooves will be foam covered with fleece or something similar. Nose will be either silicone or covered foam.
Mane will be either long pile black fur, which goes "the wrong way" for more fluffier look OR yarn (not sure how to make yarn mane).
Body is going to have slightly dropped crotch. It's not going to be very noticeable tho.
1) How to make wiggly/bouncy ears ? Is there any tutorials out there ?
2) Is beaver fur okay for the stomach/butt ? I want it to be short pile fur.
3) Is there tutorials for yarn manes ? Or manes in general ?
Thanks ! This will be second time building a bodysuit, first time doing digitigrade.
