Today's installment in my Tutorial Tuesdays series is a fancy new DTD tutorial! Feel free to ask any questions, and even to save/distribute/link to my site for your customers too, just please leave my watermark and header on it if you do. I do things a little differently, as usual, but I've found I can get the maximum range of motion with the minimum amount of bulk/excess space as possible using this method.
I have this tutorial posted in 7 parts on my FA as well, if you prefer +faving over saving.
This is the OFFICIAL Mordrude's Monsters DTD tutorial. This is how I would like all of the DTDs done by my commissioners.
YOU WILL NEED:
2 rolls of heavy duty duct tape, 55-60yds each.
3 heavy duty trash bags, preferably 3mil thickness. I used Husky Contractor Clean-up bags.
Strong scissors for cutting your bags and removing your person.
DO NOT SKIMP ON MATERIALS HERE, FOLKS. The duct tape was about $11, and the whole box of bags was $16. We're talking about thousands of dollars worth of fursuit being built from this base, cutting $10 off the cost of materials isn't worth the potential for catastrophe!
Plan on taking up to three hours if you are doing this with one taper. These can be very hot and uncomfortable, stay hydrated and take frequent breaks if needed. More tapers means faster taping, but can also mean more chance for error.
PLEASE GO TO THE BATHROOM BEFORE STARTING! Even if you don't think you need to go, try. Once you start, you're stuck in it until you're done!
