I feel sorry for whoever I commission to do my boi, he has these tiny spots on his leg that would *have* to be airbrushed *cri* I need to make him a fursuit friendly ref
Dude same mine has leopard spots but I'm going to painstakingly take the time to sew mine because I enjoy torturing myself 🥲
Mine has red blood dripping from the eyes! Actually that wouldn't be bad..
I’m gonna make my own and he’s supposed to have a bunch of follow me eyes on his ears and mouths on his paws (idk how to explain the mouths) and the mouth on his head is supposed to zip up so uhm…
it depends on how tiny the spots are probably
My new fursona(s? They’re technically 2 personalities in 1 body so…) has leopard print but they’re rlly big and not realistic so I don’t think it’d be too bad (compared to my other Sona, Poptart)
I forced myself to limit the number of markings on my main sona yesterday. She originally had over 300 markings on her back ALONE (it was a marbling effect with neon green, black, and purple), and I reduced it to under 20. I made the markings larger, with fewer of them. Hoping to make my sona into a fursuit one day, so that's a start.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE RESPECT TO YOU
@@thatonel4421 IDK HOW I MANAGED THAT BRO 😭
Great video Skye! Just a suggestion for next Maker Masterclass, could we have more photo's with examples of suits/designs that have the features that you are talking about? As a more visual person, this would really help me and I'm sure a lot of others would benefit as well.
Yessss
Protip: Not mine. I'm doing a deer with moderate (for an actual deer) sized antlers, and by chance also stripes, including thin stripes. And a decently long hairstyle. And little freckles (maybe)
Fortunately I've got sewing experience, and watching doll customizers has given me some ideas on the hair. It will require some testing as well, but I think latch hooking (and then fuzzing/furring out the yarn) might be a solution for adding thin stripes and markings, maybe also for making yarn wefts for the hair. I also have woodcarving experience, which works nicely with some modeling compounds, for the antlers.
I only have myself to blame for this mess.
i am so glad my sona is already fursut friendly (he only uses white, cream and light brown) and has big patches except freckles which i will prob simplyfy to just 3-4 symmethrical dots
Omg I watched TanelleFlowers’ vid about animation friendly designs years ago and somehow never considered the question of fursuit friendly designs and my mind was blown. I’m glad that my sparkle cat design was as basic as I can get it for a partial (Still wish I had a suit tho 😭
Ngl, even if dyeing the fur was a thing, the colors will fade, so a waste of money.
OMG I WAS JUST GOING TO GET STARTED WITH MAKING A PARTIAL THIS IS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU
"Crazy large body parts"
This coming from you, who made me a 5' 8" tail... then had to lop 6 inches off it :P
Miss ya, Skye. Hope we can catch up more soon.
Quick question:
On a hand paw, would you consider the toes/fingers being a different color than the palm/back/wrist to be a complex design element?
No that's pretty typical
No, a lot of people do that, and both of the pairs of paws I've sewn are like that
I think mine is fairly friendly lol. He is just a big tealish wickerbeast (specifically kingbeast) with some bluish splotches on him. They aren't symmetrical but they are huge
Love how the comment section is people realising their designs aren’t fursuit friendly or wallet friendly
My fursona's star-like back spots: *loud sweating*
I think my fursona is fairly simple. He’s literally all black, crimson eyes, and 4 crimson teeth. Yes, he’s a dinomask, but he’s going to be a digigrade (I can’t spell it lol) fullsuit soon. Paws and feet and I’ll be done! I have no motivation to finish him rn because I’m sick but my demon suit will be done soon! lol
this is very helpful for me who is a new fursuit maker TYSM!
watching this months later as i prep to make my suit. And my sona has freckles and long bangs so this will help a lot. At least i know how i want to modify the design so i don't feel the need to create a whole other ref
Me having a snow leopard fursona sighing with relief
Neffertity has a gradient tutorial without air brushing and washing friendly
With all the comments I don't know if you're going to see this but I wanted to say that i really love your tutorials And whenever my friends ever need advice I almost always recommend you I'm making my first fursuit tail And your tutorials made it super easy
Two of my sonas that I actually plan to make suits of (my pfp included) were actually designed pretty much the same way she described here. I ordered fur samples and looked at what was available/affordable, and I ended up with a lisa-frank style cat and I love her!
Great video, I actually commissioned my first fursuit about 2 years ago and it's about to be made in November, So pumped!!
Took 3 years for your maker to start? Damn
Tip to make your design fursuit friendly
If it would cause depression or carple tunnel to make. Probably don't, remember fursuit makers are real people 😭
Also if you want a more complicated suit like a realistic one or a suit with compacated patterns, I recommend haveing some fursuit makeing experience or a friend who can fix the suit if it breaks
It's kind of interesting to see how different fursuit makers philosophies are.
I get excited when hearing about stuff like antlers or long hair. I'd love to build more of that. Right now I am working on a suit that has relatively big resin horns. They are quite heavy and not wearable for a long time so I am also making a second set of horns out of minky. They need to be removable for shipping anyways.
The character also has antenna and a tail that is supposed to look like it is made out of a gel like substance. I see that as a fun challenge.
Cool!
What a fascinating character
thanks! This was so useful- also thought you’d evaporated lol since you hadn’t posted 😂
It’s so good to see you again Skye! 🫶
I had no idea I made my fursona so fursute friendly 😮💜 completely by accident proud of myself 😊
Ty so helpful!!! I was just going to make a fur suit and it has so many patterns on it and I don’t have a sewing machine so this is great!
New viedo!!!! Excited. Tysvm for ur content!
I remembered about you and you uploaded again! I AM MAGIC!!!
My fursonas gradient legs and tail
OOPSIE !
Time to make him totally different
2:40 hey, that's my sona's color pallete XD (except I have a slightly darker tan, and I have more of an orange, and also red) because teal/turquoise, burnt orange, and maroon are my top 3 fav colors. then the brown and tan help bring them all together as the base colors
me: Oh my half and half moth dragon character can't be THAT fursuit unfriendly.
*remembers the tail is twice as long as the character*
Me: ah, nevermind- the tail would be like 10ft long-
Awesome video Skye
My character has long hair and I just used brushed-out and heat-treated yarn. He's still in the making but they may be attached by velcro for easy and unmessy cleaning. (however, these hairs WILL fall apart so over time you will have to make it again... but they look AWESOME)
ahh yay another episode!
Would you ever consider doing a tutorial on making teeth/tongue/eyelids? (Trying to figure out)
This helps a lot thank you
I might have to change my design a little for my fursuit. Maybe I should have my 5 tails be smaller and shorter hair. The gradient isn’t too big an issue for me. But could be remedied to make it easier for me.
THAT. IS. IT
IM JOINING HER PATREON
Great video. Alot of great info on being fursuit friendly. Love the advice and info, keep up the great job.
as a person with no experience in making fursuits my markings are extremly simple and well idk if you cna even count it as a marking its jsut the belly colour but for anyone experience with fursuits is an anteater a good species for a first fursuit? and it is going to be toony but should i make the big claws or keep them med sized? i would love to make pablo come to life as he is well my favourite non-horror related design for a fursona
Omg, 500th like! 🥳
Anyone have suggestions for how to make a custom "skull" out if resin, or any shops to ask? I love my boi (see profile pic) but i just dont have the 3D tools to make something like that.
You could try making it out of clay first (build it onto a mannequin head for size) then making a mold out of mold putty, then using resin, or even expanding foam, to make the final positive.
@@user-io5qz7lj4q thank you! I'll give it a shot, clay is something I actually can do.
I did pink, mint green and white for my fursona.
6:46 Starship has a long red hairstyle 💇♀️!
Starship is a cool fursona name!
I have a really simple puffin design but his beak may be defining gradience .. is orange to light orange to mustard yellow okay?
I like the fur room vid
not going to commission anyone anytime soon but my sona seems pretty commission friendly so that's good!! :3
I always make sure I have mainly big-medium markings that are decently spread apart
For example I have a pointy marking on the neck and 2 on the body that are on each side, conected with a THICKKK line
And 3 freckles on each side
And a huge red teardrop taking up majority of each leg
AAAA LOVE UR VIDS
my fursona has a couple of markings im slightly anxious about when it comes to getting a fursuit... they have three simplified hyacinths on one of their thighs and a sun with sunglasses (yes im serious, it is a sun with sunglasses) on their chest.. im in the process of making them a new ref so i wanna find a way to simplify that second one more
So my fursona has frills that come off the head behind the ears would those be fursuit friendly?
I like complex designs and specific shades though 😭
Never knew I commented on this. I'm getting a realistic base soon, and have planned to do a white and blue grey character. He def breaks so of these rules, and is probably slightly harder than my other mains, but I hoping to airbrush or paint everything. The main problem is that he's based off an oarfish and has a ton of spots and stripes, and has these spikey fins on this head, that reaches the tip of his tail.... aaaand his tail is quite long.
Thank u for this
I was browsing through my subscriptions and saw it said you havent posted…
I thought: “hang on, that cant be right…. That’s supposed to show me if theres any un watched videos from you. But i havent checked in? I dont wanna know…. Is she stopped posting?! Nooo :( “
But no, she posted, youtube was just drunk :/
Thank goodness
Hi! Just asking. So the more easier the patterns/colour is, the more cheaper the fursuit/partial be? Like for example, my fursona is a plain orange cat with orange-yellow paws and a orange tail with orange-yellow tip?
Hey! As a beginner-ish fursuit maker, makers usually price depending on materials and time taken. That being said, the less colors used and the more simple of a design should reduce pricing of a suit!
ello there all, Im pretty new to furr suit making ive been watching tutorials left and right and i have a fair understanding of everything , so far, and i know you all probably get asked this a lot but do you guys have any tips on furring fur suit heads? I watched skye's tutorial videos but Im still pretty confused, (btw Skeys videos have been helpful I just have a small brain compacity to understand anything lol , have a good day : > )
My sona is a blue fox. Suit friendly!
Yooooo! You’re still alive! Hope you’re doing well!
I can literally send them my head base because my first fursona is a dino mask! I have the painted dino mask:D
My sonas design is mostly pretty simple, i think, the fur only has three colors--base color, spots, and then these annoying little stars. Im making my suit myself, so my plan is to just pattern everything else out and then figure out where and how big i want the stars to be. Bc i never keep them in the same spots lol
*"I just got back from furdu, I'm exhausted"* -everyone at furdu who came home with the rona
Omg im early! Didnt even realize LOL
I have a question, when making a fursuit head, could you use a balaclava as an alternative to the bucket head method? Ive seen many videos using a balaclava, but i don't knowif it is used instead of a bucket foam base
Please help
No, baklavas are used to protect the internal foam of the suit, you need a baklava if your suit head is unlined they are not used in place of a bucket head base
thanks! @@permafrost7875
Me fursona having antlers and a head tail: well ima have to change so things
Where do I go to ask for a suit I only need a head and hands many feet
HI SKYE
nice vid :D
I'm trying to get some passes
so can I have a cat head already has fur put any pattern on it
heh good thing my fursona is a white cat with just black ears paws and tail, *wheeze*
I just want to make a simple black cat fursuit but have no idea how to do that. Give it bright neon green eyes.
heya! something i have wondered about for a while is, “is it even possible for a singular fursuit to have three long floor dragging tails?” and if so, what would you price for it? i am curious because my fursona has this, and i really just want to know if is physically possible.
I mean, if you still want to know, yeah. It is possible, but they'd be very heavy, and the price would expensive.
Skye, I have been watching your videos for a while now. And now I have came Across the tutorial which have helped me a lot, so thank you! ᕦ( ᐛ )ᕤ
I just bought a $200 base and in supplies for my first suit
I very recently simplified my fursona to have a a lot less stripes
❤
Hey I want to make a cat fur suit I just can’t figure out how to make the paws
Skye what is your Fursuit store
my fursona is a chimera with scales
2:41) She literally listed the main colours of my fursona 😂
This was so helpful. New furry here and currently trying to decide on my sona atm. I'm trying to think on whether or not I want to save for a con or suit. Both still at least a year ( or more). However I've been looking at makers (you included) for pricing.
merp where do you sell
*Laughs in Fursona being a solid light blue, no patterns*
I want to ask ya if my oc is fursuit friendly! My oc has a very basic pattern expect for the tail as the pattern for the tail is red black orange black yellow black green black blue black and black. I understand if you don’t see this comment as important so you don’t have to answer I understand ^^
good to know my fursona is fursuit friendly im is just black and yellow
So i cant be a ger j70 class steam tram the same class that toby the tram engine is based off?
Does it mean you can't have a fursuit of a steam locomotive?
Yay I’m early
My fursona idk if shes fursuit friendly she has yellow drips from her ears and her ears have CHECKERD FUR that goes in this shape from top to bottem ~
It's always a good day when Skye uploads :)
Is this fursuit friendly:
Orange elephant with short fur, caramel coloured accents and a scorpion tail. PLS HELP CUZ I DONT WANNA MAKE A REF SHEET THEN I HAVE TO CHANG EIT
What about Skye’s freckles though?
5:01
what about sharks??
my fursona is sadly not very fursuit friendly, as he has many shades of gray (it might be hard to find around 5 shades of gray)
Jokes on you, my fursona is so basic that the bodysuit (when made) would be entirely white and marking-less
I can't do a fursuit, because I am at Balıkesir at a hotel, there's no paper here. When I go back to İstanbul, I can do it.
*laughs in tribal patterned characters*
I'm so sorry to every one of my suit makers XD
Haha mine has the same..this is why I only made a partial 🤣
u finally posted what took you so long
Fursuit making, having a life outside of CZcams, video editing?
It was just a joke
Welcome Furry
I just got an ad for furrymate (aka a furry dating site)
hi
With recent events within the community taking people to hurt children at charity events. Makers should keep track of where there suit is going to so they don't get caught up in negative press about there suits.
What if my sona has no mouth
