So recently I've gained interest in the furry community. I've had a fursona for years but never really reached out beyond a few pet sims I was active on, so here I am. I went to my first comic con a month ago and really enjoyed cosplaying (had an awesome Guilmon hoodie I purchased just to wear for the con) while there. I saw some fursuits in person for the first time and that really peaked my interest as I really enjoy dressing up. Anyway, I thought I might actually be able to make one. After looking up a lot of tutorials and videos and such here I am.

Anyway, I'm looking for some suggestions. I'm not very familiar with all this, so I'm trying to visualize what she would look like after fur. I can add more foam, if I have too, but for the most part I'm pretty happy with how she's looking. Just waiting for her antlers and teeth to come in (she's a hybrid of sorts, canine, deer thing). The eyes were definitely a challenge. I didn't care for some of the tutorials I stumbled upon so I just kinda envisioned how some they looked on other suits I'd seen. I don't mind critiques, but her anatomy is a bit different than a regular wolf. The muzzle looks really long to me, but from what I've read that's normal? I don't know. XD
Also, the fur, I've sewn very, very, very little. I don't have a sewing machine, but after a mess of hot glue with some feet paws I made, I'd rather opt out of gluing the fur on the face. But I also struggle with obtaining appropriate depth and odd shapes with fabric in general so some suggestions would be appreciated. I've read about darts, so I think that's what I'd have to do, but I'm unsure of exactly what I'm doing with them, lol.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!
