Something I am going to spend time delving into is the idea of fursuit theory and fursuit R&D. How can we make fursuits *better*? What mathematical concepts can we apply to making suits? How can we push the boundaries of this medium with new materials, new shapes, new styles... there's so much!

Hey everyone! I made an announcement channel + chat on Telegram for the fursuitmak.ing website. I'm hoping to get more people involved with this project to make it a true community hub for learning fursuit making. If you are a maker looking to help other makers, come join! t.me/fursuit_making

Hello hello, long time no see! I've got a fresh coat of paint as JTAG (my little weasel guy!) feels much more like my fursona now. I was hit with a long period of burnout but I am finally getting back on my feet. Expect more casual fursuit making posting from here on out :) (more info in thread!)

I made a forum for fursuitmak.ing! My idea is that it will be a community-driven and open hub for fursuit making resources, kind of like what Livejournal was, with community-made resources and tutorials. You can make an account for free! fursuitmak.ing/forum/index.php #fursuitmaking

I feel like I'm finally unlocking the full potential of Nomad Sculpt by mastering all the masking features and the tube feature. The current base I'm working on will have magnetic swappable eyes and I am so proud of myself for figuring all of this out!

Here's a fun concept I did of a pooltoy plush-style fullsuit. Made out of stretch fur with sewn highlights for a fun and super toony look and feel, complete with a nozzle, handlebars, intentional seams, and lots of round shapes :) #fursuitmaker #fursuit

I have a big announcement to make! I am moving away from the name 'Gatorwave'. I don't resonate with it as much as I used to & I'd like some separation between me and my work. As a result, I am partnering with my best friend Jam in order to form a new fursuit business called: MAGIC MUSTELIDS! 1/3

This is rare, but I’m considering maybe taking on 1-2 longer-term fursuit commissions due to the upcoming material price hike. I won’t be officially open for comms again in a *very long* time (at least a year from now) so this is a rare opportunity to get a custom suit from me! #fursuit

Black and white furry comic. I am snapping photos of a finished fursuit head while saying “today is a great day for portfolio pictures”. I am about to send the photos to the commissioner when a bird poops on the fursuit head and I scream.

Puppet making is a great way to learn fursuit making principles! You get to learn sewing, making a base and furring it, and general fursuit problem solving skills (such as eyes), all on a smaller scale. Foam base feetpaws are also great for warming up to a head, but puppets are more fun imo :P

Similar to a fursuit head, I’ve covered this foam base in duct tape. The hardest part has been cutting enough darts to preserve the shape, but not too many where it becomes cumbersome. 3 makes each finger piece lie flat, but I think I can get away with 2 for my own sanity! (cont.) #fursuitmaker

I’m going back to my foam carving roots and making a puffy paw pattern :) Creating a base and covering it in duct tape is the easiest way to get a pattern. I chose foam for this because I wasn’t too sure abt the scaling. Looking forward to seeing how they come out! #fursuitmaker
