Hi everyone, I'm new to LJ and the fursuit community (sorry if this post isn't where it's supposed to be) I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself! I'm Rix or Rixon. My animal is a mix between a hyena and an African wild dog. This is my first time building a fursuit and Rix will be a partial suit..I was really really hoping I could get some help, I've found myself in a bit of a rut with continuing the head (sorry for all the questions you're about to be bombarded with)
Firstly, I think Rix is starting to look more canine than anything else. I tried to make the ears as "hyena-like" as possible, but it seems like he's looking more canine, and that's kind of upsetting..(also, he's missing a nose, I ordered one from etsy) and YES he does have a moving jaw..I'm a risky first timer..heh
EYEBROWS..I don't know what to do. Rix is supposed to be a very devious, grumpy character (I think I attached a picture of a drawing) I feel like the mouth is something I already messed up (I couldn't get the smirking expression down) and now he looks like he's smiling!!! (Ugh) I know the eyebrows will help a lot but I'm not very happy with how my progress is going..
Fur. I am scared to fur Rix because I feel like it will be a disaster. I don't know how to sew! I hope that it will turn out better than I'm expecting it to..
Thank you guys I appreciate it so so much anything helps greatly..suggestions, any critique, anything! Again this is my first partial suit, and anything to make Rix better will help me greatly. Thank you all for your time
Rix :)
