This is my first fursuit ever! I think she turned out pretty well. Features a resin base, jawset, and silicon nose from Caninehybrid, Eye BLANKS from DVC, and a tongue from Huskypaws! I did everything else myself, with the help of Kifu! (honestly, she deserves like, 50% of the credit for helping me out so much)
This is my OC, Commander "Shepherd". She is a GSD/Husky hybrid, mostly because I wanted an explanation for her markings and blue eyes, haha. She features ice-blue follow-me eyes that reflect red of my own design. (DVC only provided the base)
I would enjoy some (gentle) critique! I still have a lot to learn. I hope to get another base soon so I can make another partial!
You can view the furaffinity submission for her here.
What I know I need to fix/get better at:
- Nose/muzzle. It's too round, I need to remove some of the padding below the fur and fix the nose so it's forward a little more.
- Need to get white fur that's the same make and length as the black fur and replace the current white fur. I didn't have time to order white fur so I had to stick with the shiny stuff I borrowed from Riley.
- When I get the new fur, add more white around the cheeks!
- Need to find new whiskers and put them in a little better.
- Get a more shiny nose or make my current one more shiny. Add some "wetness" around the nose area so it's not just straight to fur.
- Work on my trimming and Shaving
- Possibly rip up the fur all the way to the eyes and fix the padding there so she has more defined brow ridge and cheekbones. (good thing I only used hot glue, eh?)
- LEARN. TO. HAND. SEW. The hood was made from a hoodie hood and lightly stitched together. Glue kind of holds most of it together, haha. It held up though!
- Steal Riley's airbrush and get some light brown/pink on the inside of the ears.
Eyes: I painted and designed them myself. DVC only provided the blanks, I did everything else on the eyes.
Teeth: Painted these with acrylic and covered it with a gloss nail varnish. She has 3 "Titanium" capped teeth. The top jaw IS there. I would like to create a better mold of the jawset that allows the teeth to be down farther so you can actually sort of see them when the mouth is open.
