i havent tried weathering fur before but i have tried weathering a clone trooper helmet where i painted the entire front grey and then took a piece of sandpaper and started sanding most of the paint off
I AM SO EXCITED THAT I FOUND YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS!! I am creating a Minotaur creature and had never thought of the weathering aspect of the fur but it makes perfect sense. It will add so much more to its reality.
It struck me while you were talking about clay-ing up feet that if you thin some terracotta with red pigment (food colouring? paint?) in the water, you could probably get a very creepy muddy-battlefield effect. Excellent for Worgen and other furry warriors.
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped with weathering the fur on my Officer K jacket. Especially the tip about using the heat gun to shrivel, and shrink the fur.
Oh, I guess I need to learn how to weather my fur, but I'm on doodling work art first. I don't have a lot of furs for my Roguer character. Only I have one gray fur. I need to a lot of materials.
Thank you for this. I will be working on weathering some furry shag carpet this weekend for my Thorin cosplay. I will let you know if I have come up with good results with additional methods.
So fun! Does the smell of the hair gel ever go away? And can you recommend a fur that can be shaved or scissored down for a face and paws? I'm trying to make a weasel art doll.
Yep! The smell does fade over time. Usually luxury shag can be shaved easy. Get it from Mendel's, bigZ or Howl's but they also have fur that is shorter to start with!
@@KazplayVideos Thank you! I'm interested in the shorter fur but I wouldn't know how to transitition the short fur of the face to the longer fur on the body. SO MUCH to learn!
Great video, thanks. I'm about to weather long fur with dark gray base to white tips. I don't want it totally grungy, just a bit more organic. Do you think soaking the fur in rusty water would stain it without completely altering the texture as paint does? Would a diluted spray of acrylics work? I can obviously try these things but maybe your experience would stop me making a big error. Thanks!
Thank you! The rusty water could potentially work, but I don't think it would hold, I'd be worried about it rubbing off onto other costume pieces. If you want a stained effect, I'd look into ipoly dye, it's made for synthetic materials. But airbrushing is an easier method and doesn't change the texture as much as you'd think if you only want a slight color change. But I recommend getting a high quality airbrush paint like createx or golden. But trying things first to find your preference is always the best policy :) good luck!
Hi I hope you still use this channel!! What’s your experience, if any, with washing what you create for cosplay? Specifically concerned with the rinsing out of acrylic paints and way synthetic fibers will lose any distressing if laundered incorrectly
Hi! I have a video about washing my cosplays. The truth is that washing will fade any acrylic paints and the hair gel will also wash out if you put it through a machine. Both would be fairly easy to redo though so that would be my plan if I needed a super thorough cleaning. My real strategy is to keep the costume as clean as possible in the first place by showering before, wearing under armor, drying out everything as fast as possible and using an alcohol /water spray to disinfect. Then if it really needs it I'll use a small carpet cleaner to spot clean. Check out the other video on my channel!
Hi I would like to know where do you buy your fur, I've looked everywhere but I can't find what I'm looking for, more precisely I search on google for faux fur and it shows me fur clothes, which doesn't help me.
I haven't seen the movie but from what I could tell from screenshots, the techniques in this video would do the trick, especially the hair gel. Then you would just need to paint the fur with a light brown/yellow very lightly to make it the right color
@Kazplay Videos just got done talking with another person who did your trick. They said to use g2b spiking gel or spray after to seal it. So when wet it will look even better. If you try it in a video let me know how it turns out.
+Hartigan Cosplay yep! I use cheap acrylic craft paint. I do want to invest in some nice createx acrylic airbrush paint, but it can get expensive to buy a bunch at once. The little bit I have used is amazing though
I've always wondered, how to you clean airbrushed fur? I've heard and read so many horror storys about when people washed their suites all the airbrushing came off and dyed their suits. Is this true?
+The Art Furry just be gentle! Hand wash and use gentle detergents. Airbrushing and weathering effcts will have to be refreshed after washing or a couple washings
Have you ever tried weathering fur? what worked for you?
Kazplay Videos I've never tried it before I had no idea is ever existed 😂
I've heard of it and I expected it to be like this but I've never tried it

You're welcome! I'd love to see your Minotaur when you're done!
Thankyou for being such a generous and wonderful artist ^_^ You inspire the heck out of me!
you're welcome! I'll keep doing my best!

Thank you so much this is going to help a ton on a future costume!
Thanks again as always for sharing your build experiance. Always inspiring. Im so excited to see the final performance, but loving the journey 😁
This was really useful ! Thank you so much! 🙌

Try searching BigZ fabric, Mendel's fabric, Howl's fabric, and your local Joann's store :)
@@KazplayVideos Thank you very much, I found it!🌸
It looks real! ;^;
Hi ; could you please make a tutorial on how to make faux fur look like the fur on the Vultures jacket from spiderman homecoming
I haven't seen the movie but from what I could tell from screenshots, the techniques in this video would do the trick, especially the hair gel. Then you would just need to paint the fur with a light brown/yellow very lightly to make it the right color
@@KazplayVideos thanks
When applying the hair gel and it dries. If it happens to rain will it ruin the hair gel when it's on the fur or if it gets wet.
Yes, it will need to be re-applied if it gets wet or starts to look less messy. I think a light rain wouldn't hurt it.
@Kazplay Videos just got done talking with another person who did your trick. They said to use g2b spiking gel or spray after to seal it. So when wet it will look even better. If you try it in a video let me know how it turns out.
@@victorkraszewski7247 that's a great idea! I've seen a lot of people use g2b, I just have never tried it myself
Hello i was wondering if you could make a fursuit for me? And how much it would cost
Hey Kazplay! Love your work
+Hartigan Cosplay yep! I use cheap acrylic craft paint. I do want to invest in some nice createx acrylic airbrush paint, but it can get expensive to buy a bunch at once. The little bit I have used is amazing though
How can I weather faux shearling?
These techniques might still work, you'll have to test it out
Have you tried the terra cotta color?
+ThePickledPanda not personally, but donttouchmymilk cosplay did and it looked like mud from southern Utah, or Arizona :)
What kind of fake fur did you use?
This specific fur was from fabric dot com. But it's defunct now. It was labeled as a wolf fur
I've always wondered, how to you clean airbrushed fur? I've heard and read so many horror storys about when people washed their suites all the airbrushing came off and dyed their suits. Is this true?
+The Art Furry just be gentle! Hand wash and use gentle detergents. Airbrushing and weathering effcts will have to be refreshed after washing or a couple washings
I think you'd better to wear bodysuit and balaclava when you wear this costume..
I do that! I'll be uploading a suiting up video before the end of the year :)
