Hey, so our workshop got broken into over the weekend. Most of what was stolen was just replaceable stuff, but one very precious mask was taken. Tierney's head has been stolen. If anyone sees this head anywhere, let us know immediately. Hoping against hope that we can bring her home.

Its eyes are green, slitted like a housecat's.A golden-brown gryphon fullsuit based on a female northern cardinal, with dark stripes and orange beak, crest, and feather accents; in a dynamic pose.

Hi all! Shannon here. So, Trans Day of Visibility seemed like a good time to finally, publicly come out as trans. My pronouns are now he/him (or they/them). Please enjoy this painting I did of my character - prev. Sabiene, now Sabien - updated into his new masculine form.
A digital painting in a realistic painterly style of an orange and white anthropomorphic dog man in soft portrait lighting, against a grey backdrop. He is wearing black boots and leather pants, and sits sideways in a chair, leaning against a side table, probably trying to look cool while pretending he's being super casual.

Heyo! We're Shannon (aka Qarrezel) and Matt, a couple of fursuit makers that specialize in realistic looks. We've been at it for 20+ years now and our work has found its way all over the world, onto the big screen, and... into your heart? 👉👈 Pictured: us as the rats in Strawberry Mansion

So many tiny bits. At least it means less airbrushing, I guess.

This is roughly how I expect my table to look for the rest of the year.

It's Primordial, monstering it up in Pittsburgh! Pictures taken by @smogteeth.bsky.social at Anthrocon 2025.

Primordial is done! Here's the head. Waiting to post pics of the rest of the suit until its owner is modeling it!

I mean look at this guy
A brown-furred monster mask on a cluttered work table. It is very large. Its snarling face with huge bared teeth and hairless cheeks is reminiscent of a mandrill.

Shanzi is getting to the good part of Primordial now- look at that mandrill-esque snarl!
A monster mask lies face-up on a cluttered table, being actively worked on by Shanzi wielding a pair of scissors. Its huge teeth and retracted lips, framed by brownish fur, give an impression of a snarling mandrill.

My what big teeth you have: here's Primordial's upper jawset fresh off the print bed. The wee little jawset on the left is our regular sized wolf set.
Two sets of creature teeth made of off-white plastic. On the left is the set for a regular-size wolf; on the right is a monster set about 3x as large.

Happening Hols from Matt & Shannon at Clockwork Creature
A silly black & white ink drawing of our pets stacked up to form a conical shape. Each is labeled with a christmas tree orb bearing their name. At the top is Zigo, a tabby cat with an unamused expression, wearing a hat with a star on top. He sits atop Oscar, a black cat with a mischievous expression. Oscar stands on Bogey, a dark merle-patterned throwback Pomeranian dog, whose mouth is open as he yells at the universe. Bogey stands on Seven, a terrier mix, who looks up at Bogey's butt with a joyful expression and wags her tail. 
At Seven's feet is a mass of tiny creatures surrounding an orb labeled "Matt's countless bugs," and off to the right is another orb with a tiny lizard climbing it, labeled "Li'l Skrunkle the tiny gecko."
Over the top of whole thing is lettering reading "Happy Holidays from Matt & Shannon Heartwood and our Mob of Wild Animals."
Among the bugs, one holds up a little sign: MH 2024.

Shira is complete! This is a total refurbishment of a very old head from 2009 (I think), - the fur, horns, and eyes are all new, but the mask base was still in really good shape!

Finally letting go of the janky mannequin we got back in 2011 or so. Haven't used him in years and he got soiled by mice in storage, so RIP to Mr. Boyfriend. His butt nipples will live on forever in our hearts.
A bagster full of junk. Among the junk is a dingy, rough foam mannequin body with a cloth skin, lying face-down. Drawn on its butt in sharpie are a pair of nipples and the words "Mr. Boyfriend" in a swoopy style with the dots replaced with little hearts.

Printing Primordial's big honkin tusk/mandible/face extension pieces! I was thinking part crab claw and part mammalian jawbone and ended up somewhere fairly beetle-y. -Matt

Getting into flexible 3D printing as a foam alternative. We're kinda late to this party but this is a rad technique!
A poorly-lit photo of two simple oblong pads, 3d printed with a flexible white filament. They have no outer shells, so the infill makes up the entire structure.

Shanzi's been fabricating some big ol claws for Primordial. They're shaped from EVA foam and coated with silicone.

Upcoming suit: Primordial, which is based on Kothoga from “the Relic”. I sculpted a maquette to plan the general shape. The head base sculpt was made as generic as possible so that it can be used to make other monsters, too
