Okay. So. I have most of what I need planned out.
I'm going to be using Joanne's soft n comfy fleece for the main part of my legs. They're going to be similar in design to http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13386584/ marking wise. The main color will be gray, with black accents and white spots, as well as a white belly / tail underside combo. The black and white will be regular length fur. I'm also going to give her furry 'legwarmers' (for lack of a better term) where the fur will go from gray to black, short to long pile all the way to the hooves.
I don't want my crotch to look poofy, but using fleece would make it pill up when I walk. Am I just too concerned or should I shave the fur down?
I'm having problems envisioning the digigrade padding, though. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14703609/ is my pattern. I don't know if I'm just being too picky or what but it doesn't look right to me. Critiques, please? I'm going to be using the pillow method.
My ear plan is to get some plastic canvas, cut it out in the shape of the ear (base unfurled) then a sleeve over that of fleece / fur. I'll sew the sleeve shut, then roll the base and add some stitches through the fleece (using yarn) to hold the base together. Then I sew barrettes onto the ends to clip to my wig. The stitches are going to be both functional AND design oriented. My plan for those is fleece for the back, then a thin strip of fur outlining the inner ear + more fleece for the 'deep' inner ear, to give it some fluff.
I'm wearing a black underbust corset with a white 'pirate' undershirt and a black curly wig.
I'm not sure how to attach the horns to the wig--I don't want to use a headband. I've noticed that with one of the wigs I have, it has a more mesh-like underside. Could I slip the antlers through that and secure them with craft foam on the underside? (they're the DVC antler points, not large or heavy).
I think this should be my last post unless something goes wrong :x
