Building Large Wings -Part 1

- In this video I show you how I built the base and mount for the giant wings for my gryphon fursuit. I show all my mistakes and how I changed my idea to succeed. I love how these wings moves and I cannot wait to move on to the next step!

Note: it's fairly normal for me to scrap work and start over. While it's sometimes embarrassing you absolutely should not feel like a complete failure if it happens. Things like this help us learn and eventually find the right solution. I'm still learning to not beat myself up too, admitting my fails here is helping to desensitize myself to the embarrassment.

What do you think about the new logo? It's something I worked on when I wasn't able to work on this project :)
It pleases the eyeballs. When the old intro was suddenly cut short, I was left aghast and bewildered, but then the new one appeared and I was saved from what felt like an eternity of logoless darkness. It was well worth the torment.
It looks very nice - still has the spoooky monster vibes of the old one, but much more print-friendly (is a sucker for vector art)~
It looks awesome! Very readable :)
The amount of knowledge I learned from your channel is crazy. Thank you for making these videos.
I love that you talk about your fails - that's actually incredibly helpful!
Although embarrassing at first I always learn more by failing than not
really looking forward to watching you develop these! Nice work, love the new logo too!
Here from the link in the pattern! Looks like this is another video I'll need to save in a playlist to watch multiple times.
I made some con buddies who want me to join a Beast Wars group and I got Terrorsaur!
After agreeing to the idea, I was afraid of the wings a little and figured I may have to sacrifice some flashiness for creation's sake.... But here you are :)
Being a robot will definitely help excuse having some exposed hinges, since I'll have to design my chest plate into the base pattern, but I think I can figure it out!
Awesome! Sounds like a really fun group project, good luck!
Word! Someone else who subscribes to Stan Winston's school! Absolutely invaluble resource.
I'm a pretty seasoned tailor/seamstress and I make cosplay commissions (haven't made a fursuit commission yet, definitely out of my comfort zone but I'm looking to get there) and yeah, making a corset, unless you have a TON of specialty sewing experience, isn't a great idea. It just won't come out right and the boning will likely end up poking through the fabric and stabbing you.
However, instead of the sweat vest (which is BS by the way, you don't sweat fat lmao) I would've reccomended buying a pre-made corset and modifying it.
Currently I'm working on my own personal dream cosplay, which is Devil- Homura from Madoka Magica : Rebellion, and let me tell you, trying to figure out a way to attach wings when you're wearing a backless and strapless dress is just tons of fun. But your video has given me some ideas. Thank you@
Yeah! SWS is great, I subbed for a few years and watch their whole library! I love it.
That is a good idea, buying a corset and modifying it. I could probably even chat with some corset makers to custom make some details I'd like!
Oh what a cool character, check out fishmeal cosplay on Instagram, they made some neat wings on a strapless cosplay that originally gave me the idea to use clear acrylic. I think it'll help you a lot. Good luck!
oh! new brand logo! I like the update.
Hi kazplay i bought the wolfmaskpattern and im happy for it. Worked ok with first but im going to make more of them. Thanks for vids andpatterns and all work. Will buy the wing pattern thing to. Take care from an 58 yearold Swedish guy.
I like this method a lot. It’s giving me idea for my own dragon, you could even fit smaller replacement wings just into the top section, which replaceable small and large wings is something I wanted to do for her
Exactly, I want to do an extra set of smaller wings as well. But I have use this method thoigh with just one set of slots to make smaller wings for some dragons before. It definitely works!
I haven't finished watching the video yet but I really feel you on the Velcro. I was making some cosplay boots out of foam and I used Velcro covering the entire attachment area, and it went so bad. I hadn't glued the pieces yet but I couldn't get them apart without disassembling everything and I had to reduce the amount of Velcro to tiny pieces and even those were pretty strong, but it seems to work so much better now and I can finally glue everything together.
Pulling off the Velcro was mentally painful :') but I managed to save a lot of it by sticking it back on to the backing it originally had so I can reuse it
Awesome engineered wing base....enjoyed your real world video.
Thanks and you're welcome!
I've been struggling so much to find how I wanted to make my wings for a harpy costume - I finally found it! I haven't seen other wing designs like this one. THANK YOU!
So glad to hear that! You're welcome!
Hello! First of all, I like the new logo ^^.
I've been watching your videos for so long ago... At first I was very young to even try some things, but recently went back to see your videos again to do the eyes of my fursuit! They fit so well and are super cool! 😍 It helped me a lot. I was looking thought your videos and realised you don't have a moving jaw one! I would love to know how you do it since my head has to fit in and still work as a movable jaw😭
Thanks for all your content!
Thank you and you're welcome! That is a good idea to make a video about moving Jaws, they are tricky. I'll add it to my list!
If this somehow doesn’t end up working, I’d recommend Neffertity’s pattern and tutorial. They are light and bouncy. The style is toony, thought. But I don’t know if that is what you’re going for in this project.
Just a suggestion though! So far, they look great, and I’m looking forward to the finished product!
I really do like Neffertity's tutorial, but I wanted a pair of huge wings. Because they're so big, they needed lots of support. I will probably end up making a smaller more convenient to wear pair and take some cues from her tutorial
Another thing that I've heard people doing is boiling hot water, then dipping the EVA foam in there for a couple seconds. Then they take it out, shape it, then run it under cold water so it takes its form
That will work too! Though it will probably be unwieldy to do that for large pieces of Eva foam, the heat gun does the job quite well
Me alegra ver qué Kazplay a vuelto después de tanto tiempo
I just ordered some realistic eyes from you! Didn't even recognize it was you at first lol.
Hah, thanks!
22:40 probably there are some ways to add lever arm, it would help you to set wings at the middle of your back, if you need go throught the door
They should have enough swing to just hold them back. To keep the mechanism super simple
This is looking really promising!
Can’t wait to see the next costume log(^-^)
Thank you!
@@KazplayVideos np!
5:15 it seems like you are chair - woman, new comics character. but it is very good
Perfect timing for me! I'm currently make a giant crow beast
Sounds fun! "giant crow beast reminds me immediately of Howl ❤️
Really interesting and useful stuff! Looking to make some wings myself so your talking through what did and didnt work is really helpful!
Also is that a HOTS tee? Great taste haha!
It is indeed a HotS shirt! I don't play anymore (still salty Blizz decided to kill it) but i started in the alpha. Favorite characters were Abathur and Varian
@@KazplayVideos theres still a lot of people playing I get a couple matches in to unwind now and then :D still the most fun moba in my opinion, I play probius and cassia mostly but abathur is really fun!
Though on topic thanks again for all the detail!
it would be great if everyone start to create something, i make led add-on to my sport backup (wings, shields etc), and i cant found any potion of understanding
Could you make a realistic Grinch fur suit? Made with a spandex body suit to fit snug like in the movie. I have picture if that would help.
I've seen the actual suit and I'd love to make one one day!
@@KazplayVideos I plan on trying to make one. The easiest way i think would be to use NFT fur. They say it's 4 way stretch. The problem is it cost around $48 a square foot. I'm not sure how many square feet I would need to make one.
@@retiredsearge if I remember correctly from what I've been told, you'll need 7-10 square feet for a body suit(depending on your size. The fabric stretches so it goes a long way
@@KazplayVideos Thanks...They are sending me a sample. I may be asking for help...lol
Is there potentially a way to have the “fingers” of dragon wings adjustable in a base pattern like this?
Possibly? I would try making the fingers out coat hanger wire so you could pose them. Or there are some mechanical articulated wing designs out there if you want to go that route
@@KazplayVideos interesting! Do you think there’s a mechanism you can make similar to how to hinged hoggers legs and make it posable like that if you screwed some bolts tight enough? Ive been trying to find a way to make my wings big but moving and posable.
5:00 this is unversal decision beacouse you can attach somtthing and there are some space for powerbank to power-up your invention for exapmle. sorry for mistakes, english isnt my native language
Yeah one could do that! But I'm keeping this one on the simple side
