I have had my C.M.Y.K. head since 2009 and it's time for some refurbishing. I would like some feedback from some seasoned fursuit builders on how to fix these two issues:
1. C.M.Y.K. is supposed to have a moving jaw but it has never quite worked well. It was attached by springs and elastic but since then the springs have popped and the elastic hasn't quite held its elasticity. My question is, what do you think the best solution would be in fixing this? I was thinking about adding hinges and new springs. I haven't really torn apart the head yet to see what can be done. It would be nice to try to get more movement out of the mouth on my suit.
2. It's really hard to see out of my eyes and I am thinking about replacing them but I am not sure what materials I should be looking for. I like what is there but the material that was used previously makes it really had to see. Also what paints, ect... For the eyes?
Note: This is the fursuit in question - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4835809/
Thanks!
