Soo…the forum has furries, but there is no thread to show off our fursuits if we have em..
I know Drag0nfeathers makes costumes and I am building my first, so why not have a thread to show them off as well as cosplay stuff. Why not?
Wow the site is being fussy and slow. o.O

Always open for pyo commissions, repairs and fine artwork! Email me for current prices! awier(@)weaselsoneasels.comI am not a furry, but I did grow up being inspired by Jim Henson and always wanted to make masks and costumes (they are essentially puppets you can use anywhere, right??). So, I like to make realistic bird masks! Some people consider these “fursuits”… and that’s okay, but I’d probably be making these even if the concept of furries didn’t exist. 🙂
I have a gallery of some of them here: http://featherdust.com/masks/
Here’s a fantasy raven I made (the clothing I did NOT make on this one) for a client:
A bearded vulture (lammergeier):
A dromaeosaur (raptor):
A Short-Eared Owl:
A video demonstrating the jaw movement on an osprey mask I made for a client, before shipping it off:

Astounding! Did Vantid end up with the raven head?
Wow those bird masks are really cool! I like how they painted their arms too to look like bird legs.
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!

The raven’s owner actually specifically requested to remain anonymous!

Those are actually shoulder length gloves I made/painted to look like scaly bird legs.

My art: featherdust.comJennifer, what type of paint did you use on the spandex gloves? Any particular mediums used in addition to the paint? I ask because I’m working on humanoid rat hands/toes for a costume for next week and want to add shading and definition to the ‘skin’.
I’ll post pictures after con. It’s a known character, but I’ll wait until I post photos (or drag0nfeathers will beat me to it… I’m behind in getting anything posted online anywhere :P).
I’ve seen video of Qaw in action. Wonderfully portrayed corvid! I love your masks! I need an excuse to make a dino, bird, or griffin of some sort. Maybe NYCC or something…

Was it the Dark Crystal video? That one went viral! I saw it on facebook.
I find that the golden acrylics (Same ones I use on Windstones) adhere the best. If I need to thin them I use airbrush medium, especially since it can be used on fabric and is very flexible.

Yup! That’s the one!

Great! I mostly only use golden and have plenty here (and some of their airbrush medium). Perfect! I just wasn’t sure about using it on fabric in case I needed to hand wash something. Then again, I have t-shirts I’ve stained with paint when a paint brush rolls off the table or accidentally goes flying, so I should have known better. 😛 Thanks!

I absolutely loved the raptor. Did you make the tail for it too?

I did, thank you! I made all the ‘accessories’, with exception to the fantastic clothing on the raven. I can’t make tooled leatherwork!

Was it articulated? I tried to do an articulated tail for mine and failed miserably. I’m try to find somebody who I could commission for just the core articulation or to teach me how. It is absolutely beautiful!

Not at all! It’s just stuffed with a single acrylic rod down it to give it rigidity and a bit of bounce. I don’t have the time and energy to do articulation. It looks awesome when its done right though!
