Flocked but I dont love it. If approached with laid fur instead the flex can remain. Totally passes the 15ft visual rule tho so theres that. And then I decided to split the middle toes- has to consequently be hidden with costumeing BUT,this allows for valuable ventilation.

One more. I have to expect less flex than this when furred but I'm not super concerned. The main goal is durability and comfort.

I desperately need fursuit makers to know that film ready creature costumes are OFTEN literally trash inside held together with a prayer and a safety pin in hopes of surviving the shoot. I NEED you to know how much higher quality most fursuits are comparatively.

Artists deserve to thrive on their art. Not scrape by, not break even, thrive. Charge accordingly, you are producing luxury goods. Its not being a snob, its acknowledging life is short and capitalism is unreasonably unfair spawned some gross romanticism about starving artists

So true story, there's nothing mechanical in these. The construction is all foam and I get them to do what they do passively. You can also abuse the shit out of them- they're built to withstand and be safe in larp combat. No special transport needs either, just toss in suitcase.

And I think I could potentially mostly hide the split in future iterations to if the fur is better. Its all playtesting, Ill figure it out. They are cute AF tho, and I dont normally feel compelled to comment on that.

Shape language matters! Specificity of anatomy matters! You're not just hiding the human leg, you are building somthing interesting and solid to show the viewer instead so they are less interested IN the human leg shape underneath.

Vid of the smaller size from a while back. The other great thing is, yeah they stand away from the body, but even if you are walking in a crowd, its soft, so if it bonks somebody, they cannot get hurt and the tail cant be damaged or kinked from a bump .

Sorta silly demo to show some of the abuse the soft style masks can take. They can take more, but its hard to show that with one hand. But you get the idea- these travel well and are unlikely to really break unless you are trying.

Video of the snarl mechanism... this head hadnt been painted yet but you get the idea. These rigs are really hard to do so I dont do a lot of them but would like to revisit via 3d printing. Snarl is independent from jaw movement, theres a hand mechanism thing.

Something I want people to know about larp, and costume. Your costume can be completely amazing. Utterly visually striking. If you dont have anything else to offer an interaction, people will lose interest pretty quickly and you will amount to ... pretty much decorative scenery?-
