Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 09/09/2026What do I say? Fursuit making isn’t about making 100% accurate animal replicas, it’s about making compromises because you need to heed factors such as weight, price, and resulting effect. It’s not that I wouldn’t KNOW that woodpeckers tongues are longer than that… 000
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 08/09/2026WIP: Another commission I am working on now is a woodpecker! It was somewhat tricky, but I managed to make a silicone tongue with realistic barbs 😁 It has a wire inside and can be adjusted as needed. I love making unusual bird species! 2264
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 02/09/2026WIP: A commissioned aplomado falcon, built on a modified secretary bird base! This is really a fun project, I always learn a lot about interesting anatomic details when modeling or reshaping animal bases 😁 08124
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Trimming isn’t just about shortening the fur. Thanks to trimming you can turn a goofy fella into a ferocious beast using nothing but your trimming scissors! Trimming is one of the most important steps in fursuit making. 0367
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 28/08/2026WIP: All five heads are now furred! Next step - trimming and airbrushing. I need to be extra careful though, I have already cut a piece of my finger with my new and extra sharp trimming scissors 😅😅😅 0254
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Out of stock 😩 However, if you were really interested, you could send me swatches (if you have any left) and I could find the closest match. For example, Futrastuczne has a lot of realistic looking faux fur. 000
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Do you know which fur it is? If it is still available, I could make a head using it 🙂 100
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 27/08/2026WIP: A commissioned raccoon partial. This one will come with some cool magnetic accessories! 2577

Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 20/08/2026WIP - the fur hood is sewn, but not glued yet. Still, I am SO excited about this project, and I love him already 😍 Alfidor Von Tailwägenvald, my Chinese crested dog OC! 3303
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 13/08/2026To celebrate the #internationalwolfday , here’s a recap of all the wolves I made so far… from the oldest one to the most recent one. Which one is your favorite? Two more coming soon! 38615
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Normal people during this infernal heatwave: Going to the pool and cooling off. Me during this infernal heatwave: Working all day in a non‑air‑conditioned apartment with a heat gun. But the ears are done, and I can proceed to patterning everything! Yay! 0213
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I have never heard of the author. The illustrations are lovely… and it seems some were even translated to Czech. I will see what I can get for my 3 years old daughter 🙂 Thanks for sharing this! 010

Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 11/06/2026These WIP shots show how dramatically a fursuit can change once you add the final touches, such as airbrushing or hair. 06014
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 03/06/2026WIP: Alfidor von Tailwägenvald, my OC, is soon gonna be finished! 0210
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 01/06/2026A very angry wolf… with very stylish hair. Here’s a closer look at the fursuit head and its details. 26016
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Thank you….also, exactly my words! Anthea did an amazing job mixing the kanekalon hair fibers to match the fur! 010
Akela Taka @akelatakawolf.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Finished commission of an angry wolf / werewolf with hand-wefted kanekalon hair. This mask is a collaborative creation with Wigs_by_Anthea (see her on IG), who made the amazing hair! The rest was made by me. 9415112
