Hello everyone! Long time watcher, first time poster, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
After many years of doing costumes, I've decided to attempt my first fursuit, a Swift Blue Raptor mount from World of Warcraft. I've been researching on how to build him, padding and using foam, and I'm pretty sure I almost know what I'm doing.
However, I'm a bit stuck on his skin. I honestly have no idea what to use for it. From other raptor-like suits I've seen, folks have been using short pile fur, but I've been having trouble tracking down a color that is similar to his. Would it be easier to use a seal fur in white and airbrush it, or continue my search for a bright blue short pile fur? Or, perhaps, you all know of something else that would make great raptor skin?
I can't seem to figure out how to post pictures that work on this thing (I haven't been on livejournal in years), so here's a link to the raptor: http://www.warcraftmounts.com/images/skins/pvpridingraptorskinaqua.jpg
Thank you everyone!
