So, I'm pretty new to fursuiting and i've made two heads with help,
however these two were made with stringy fur, low quality plastic mesh,
and i may or may not have accidentally poisoned myself using Coral Foam, i think it's called.
I think i've learn't my lesson, and i'm ready to jump into the rabbithole again..!
This time, i'm making it of my oc, Jasper.

Jasper's a dog, i think, i don't really know at this point,
but i plan to make myself a fancy digitigrade partial suit!
Arms, Paws, Head, Tail and legs, that is!
However i've found myself about 99% screwed with finding the correct fur!
I barely know what i'm doing, i went to Fabric.Com and i found almost the correct fur colors.
Here's his color pallette:

(excuse me if the image is too big, i barely know what i'm doing on this site)
The closest i've managed to get is with Fabric.Com's turquoise and cobalt
(https://d2d00szk9na1qq.cloudfront.net/Product/3ad67476-a4c0-4d56-a654-78397a22f4c1/Images/Large_0412470.jpg and https://www.fabric.com/buy/0317452/faux-fur-luxury-shag-cobalt?cm_vc=756b1813-cbc1-43b3-84bd-29889bf8fb7b),
but the fluro and the almost.. mid cobalt (second color in the pallette)? i'm having no luck with. Specifically the fluro.
He's got a bandana, which i'm pretty sure i know how to make,
so i also need that fabric too..! I don't know about shag or gorilla,
how they go with handsewing or anyone's past experience, so if anyone were willing to help me out there, that'd be awesome!
If anyone also has pictures of it in action, that'd be great!
Another problem.
Prices.
I live in Victoria, Australia and i just know that i'm going to be screwed over with paying shipping, and even the original price.
I've tried to fish around to look for some furs in state, but my luck i'll end up getting the wrong color as the above are as close as i can get to Jasper's fur!
You'll probably see me around this thread repeatedly, that's one thing.
I've read through Memories, and i know that it could be a bad thing to order from Fabric.Com as they've screwed up one or two orders yet.
If anyone could comment to help a beginner out, please do!
Another thing would be that i don't know if mixing shag and gorrilla would be a bad idea. i went with gorilla as it seems to be cheaper, but i might just need some help.
We've got hairdressing equipment around here and i'd like my fur to be very clean and close cut.
Oh, and here's a feral of jasper..!

Remember that i practically know nothing about fursuiting, if you've got tips, let me know~

Long story short, i need some help with finding fur and anyone who's got experience.
Thanks!
