Can you do tips about teeth and lining the mouth!!! I want to get better at Fursuit making but this is the only thing I am not the best at , is the teeth. Any help is appreciated!!!!!thanks for talking the time to read this!
Try Instamorph plastic, it comes in beads that you heat up in water then smoosh together and shape. Very easy to make claws but kinda pricey. But if you buy a pack you'll have claws for a while.
I'm building a head with a moving jaw and it's turning out well. But I was wondering if you had any advice for foaming those kinds of heads since I can't find anything to help. This video was extremely helpful btw! It has certainly helped me get a better understanding on how heads are made other than just watching time lapses.
Toxic Diamond Productions oof if u still need help just tape the inner head (or just half of it, whatever you prefer) cut it in half if you did the whole head, cut slits in the top, round part in the head until it can lay flat on a paper. Cut out the material with the pattern (fleece, lycra, etc.) don’t forget seam allowance! Then sew it all up until it’s a wearable mask. Next just glue it in, and you’re done!
Super helpful elk! I've got a toony type suit coming up so this is helpful. As a side note, what about something to do with eye positioning? I mean, we all know where they go. But what about toony eyes vs not so soon eyes? (say...your eyes vs....majira's)
When ur commissioning a suit, what do u say when u want the fur to be shaved a specific way? Like if u want longer fur in certain areas and stuff. Ty if u answer! :D
Elk! Love you videos! I would like to ask if you can bring us a closer look in the details of suits, like the finishing, seams and such? Maybe some focus on the strengthened seams and normal seams? Just want to closely look at how high quality suits look like in the inside!
Canid snouts are extremely different from like domestic cat snouts- not just in length, but it's like an entirely different structure and way it attaches to the face
1st: I love Black Butler sm 2nd: I HATE doing smiles. They always end up looking too sutble in my opinion. Others love my style but like, idk, I just feel like I can do better. One day I shall master the smile... Update approximately 2 years later: I DID A SMILE W O O O
OMG I love your paws! Did you make them if so plzzzzzzz make a tutorial! I would love how to make them I was watching the video and could not pull my eyes away from them they are just so amazing! PLEASE make a tutorial! Also thank you so much for tips on the smile, you are so helpful!!!
I'm a carver style head maker the only part I stack is the muzzle but if I had a big enough foam I prob won't stack the muzzle. I feel carving looks better and smoother
Hey I have a suggestion for your next Tips and Techniques! There isn't a lot of furring tutorials and I really have no idea how to fur my base so it would be really helpful if you did a video on that!
I'm thinking about making partial fursuit heads... except not in the way you would expect. It would pretty much be a bunch of different accessories that you stick on and it's like not having to wear a full head around. You probably should wear facepaint with it to make it look better as a whole though. I'm gonna make ears, a moving muzzle (that follows your jaw as you speak), and possibly cheek and forehead fluff. :D Any feedback on that from anyone?
im amazing at drawing on paper and i have amazing ideas but i all was been bad at doing things off of paper so thx for making this vid it helped me and my mom make my fur suit but i have never been out in a fur con :(
I think you should make a head tutorial, or let us watch you make a head base. You don't have to (I understand if you don't want other people to try to use your style), it would be nice though.
I had my taped head in front of me, being made from my 5th base and i just realised that the muzzle is pointing sideways 😭 is spent so much time on taping it and i don't want to undo all of that bc i don't even have my fur yet 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙂🔫
I highly doubt you will see this but maybe someone can answer this question I have, I am trying to make an original species of my own as a fursuit and the ears are extremely long and could potentially even reach the floor, maybe a little shorter than that, and are meant to flow behind the head, they are not supposed to hang flat and I have no idea how I could get them to stay up and be bouncy/flowy. I am thinking I would try to just use a hard foam for the base of them to hold them up and then transition to the normal foam to give them the movement I want but I have no idea how well this would work or what kind of hard foam would be usable.
!!Quick question!! What is your opinion on carved fursuit heads? What i mean is just buying a huge block of foam and carving it out. I wanted to try it out but i was told that it is a big mess and a huge waste of foam. What is your opinion?
ive drawn manny wolfs for manny year and ik the proprotions but only with drawing them not making them to a head before thats why im starting so dose that count :T
Is thus a good thing? when i make suits i make it out of my knowing if the animal. When i make a head no one looks the same they all have their own look.
Thanks a lot this help me so much! I’m 10 trying to force my mom to help me raise enough money to get one but also thinking of making my own I feel like I’m good at everything else except the foaming that was my only problem! Thanks a lot Elk Dragon! Edit:ok I was just hearing your voice so I was like “mhhh what would she look like as a human .....AN ORANGE FOX WITH GREEN/BLUE EYES
I’ve asked my dad if I could make one, but he said no, I should not hide my face. But the thing is, he has absolutely no idea what a furry is. What should I do? I have the money for the materials, but he says it’s a bit ridiculous, i want to try to make a tiger head with simple markings for my school mascot if it turns out good enough Thank you in advance
watch furries and the media panels here and use those tools to explain what we do/are to your father. use positive imagery, simple words. and avoid words like not and arent. he'll have a better understanding of the fandom and may b more comfortable with u making suits. If not wait till u move out.
Hey im alyssa and I realy need a fursuit and I cant make one because my grandparents wont let me and I was wondering if I can have one free and I will pay u 800 if I get it soon plz I need one
Alyssa Powers for that price I'm not even sure you'll be able to get a partial, but if you really want a fullsuit for that price I'd suggest commissioning a newer maker (they have lower prices usually). Rather than begging in a RUclips comment, a better option would be to directly contact elk about a commission, because your comment will likely be ignored. Lastly, you do not need a fursuit, they are luxury items so if you're looking for quality, save up for a bit. Anyway, good luck finding a suit hun, hope this helps you 🙂

Do you have any tips on how to line the inside of a fursuit head? If you could make a video about it that'd be great :)
Toxic Diamond Productions oof if u still need help just tape the inner head (or just half of it, whatever you prefer) cut it in half if you did the whole head, cut slits in the top, round part in the head until it can lay flat on a paper.

ChipmunkDream Studios I just use a ski mask for the inside of it because I don’t go outside in 40 below.
I'm super late, but you can use a balaclava! You can either buy one of make one, kloofsuits has a free template on their website :D
How did you know I needed this? Literally right when you upload it I was looking for a video like this.
Super helpful elk! I've got a toony type suit coming up so this is helpful.
As a side note, what about something to do with eye positioning? I mean, we all know where they go. But what about toony eyes vs not so soon eyes? (say...your eyes vs....majira's)
Ahh, this was lovely.
Konoei Kreations me to
Is that a Fall Out Boy shirt I spy? You have great music taste! They’re my favorite band, you like mania?
Stacking is absolute hell for me. I recently looked at *StarryKitsune's* fursuit head video and she does carving.I may try that with my next one.
Yoooo, you're wearing a Fall Out Boy shirt. I am also wearing a Fall Out Boy shirt. A different shirt, but that's cool.
Im wearing a queen shirt (rip freddie)
Thanks! I'm still shaping mine out so this video was helpful, this is my first attempt so thanks for your awesome RUclips channel!
I love your paws! And this was very helpful, thx for making this!
When ur commissioning a suit, what do u say when u want the fur to be shaved a specific way? Like if u want longer fur in certain areas and stuff. Ty if u answer! :D
Alexys Tague ... you just simply tell them you want it long in some places. Name the places.
Thanks for talking about the mouth! I’ve had trouble giving my suits an expressive enough smile
Elk!
Love you videos! I would like to ask if you can bring us a closer look in the details of suits, like the finishing, seams and such?
Maybe some focus on the strengthened seams and normal seams? Just want to closely look at how high quality suits look like in the inside!
I carve and stack
I use blocks of foam for the muzzles and stack for the cheeks and everything else
Canid snouts are extremely different from like domestic cat snouts- not just in length, but it's like an entirely different structure and way it attaches to the face
Awesome! I’m currently working on my 5th suit and your videos are really helpful.
1st: I love Black Butler sm
2nd: I HATE doing smiles. They always end up looking too sutble in my opinion. Others love my style but like, idk, I just feel like I can do better. One day I shall master the smile...
Update approximately 2 years later: I DID A SMILE W O O O
AliPyro Same, I suck at smiles.
My smiles are nonexistent or just awakward
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 I'M SO HAPPY SOMEONE(U) MADE A VIDEO OF THIS TOPIC
OMG I love your paws! Did you make them if so plzzzzzzz make a tutorial! I would love how to make them I was watching the video and could not pull my eyes away from them they are just so amazing! PLEASE make a tutorial! Also thank you so much for tips on the smile, you are so helpful!!!
Look at that good ol black butler. Also very nice tutorial!! Might use it some day!
I'm a carver style head maker the only part I stack is the muzzle but if I had a big enough foam I prob won't stack the muzzle.
I feel carving looks better and smoother
Shaping the face is the hardest part as a biefginwr maker,they always look either a bit round or bulky,so this is super useful

This moment, when you are doing protogen fursuit.
Great video, cleared up a lot of problems. I think I'm going to do stacking
You do it "your way" your suits are beautiful 🙂

Thank you so much for the video! This was really helpful, I love your fursuit and your videos!💕🦊
Thank you! This video is exactly what I need! I'm really bad at shaping heads, thank you.
Thank you for this! I actually started trying that weird golf club shape for smiles the other day and wasn't sure if that was gonna work.
I think you should make a head tutorial, or let us watch you make a head base. You don't have to (I understand if you don't want other people to try to use your style), it would be nice though.
I see a black butler poster... I’m so happy!
I had my taped head in front of me, being made from my 5th base and i just realised that the muzzle is pointing sideways 😭 is spent so much time on taping it and i don't want to undo all of that bc i don't even have my fur yet 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙂🔫
This is super helpfull! thanks so much 4 this! 😊😍💕💕
Really cool video, and I just realized... We have the same Black Butler wall scroll. :D

!!Quick question!!
What is your opinion on carved fursuit heads? What i mean is just buying a huge block of foam and carving it out. I wanted to try it out but i was told that it is a big mess and a huge waste of foam. What is your opinion?
Awesome!! Love your vidz! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi :) can you do a tip on how to connect the mussel and jaw to the cheek thanks :D
ive drawn manny wolfs for manny year and ik the proprotions but only with drawing them not making them to a head before thats why im starting so dose that count :T
Love the fall out boy tshirt
Wow thx for the vid I didn’t know I needed!:D
i want to redraw my fursona but i dont know if it will look good
I've made a dragon partial and a fox/wolf partial I LOVE UR ADVICE THOOOO but I'm not good at painting da eye balls * poor me XD*
HOLD UP- does that orange fur glow?!???!!
Yay!
ooo im early! great video!
Your new intro is so good
Earlyness thank u for dis
For people who want to make a horse as a fursuit, make the fursona an Arabian. They have dished noses so it’s easier to make the nose that way.
Love your videos!!!! Please make the intros shorter though it’s like 3 minutes before you start going into the topics.
Is thus a good thing? when i make suits i make it out of my knowing if the animal. When i make a head no one looks the same they all have their own look.
OMG... I SAW UR FALLOUT BOY SHIRT AND THEN FALLOUT BOY STARTED PLAYING IN HERE!!! OMG!!!!!!
Do you do commissions? Your so good!
Yasss
How long have you been making suits?

No, most likely not.

Thanks a lot this help me so much!
I’m 10 trying to force my mom to help me raise enough money to get one but also thinking of making my own I feel like I’m good at everything else except the foaming that was my only problem! Thanks a lot Elk Dragon!
Edit:ok I was just hearing your voice so I was like “mhhh what would she look like as a human .....AN ORANGE FOX WITH GREEN/BLUE EYES
I only stack for the muzzle, everything else I carve lol
3:19 ...I actually can do that... I made a cow commission like that...
how dare you accurately guess what i do.
i listen to you in the backround
I’m wondering why after finishing a head base they put tape on it.
I need to know because I’m making my own fursuit
Fur patterns
Was your head made by morefurless? The style is very familiar!
She made it herself.elkdragon is a fursuit maker too (their styles are slightly similar)
Very Helpful Thank You!!!
Thank you so much, this really helped :)
Is there any chance that in early summer I could buy paws from you
I love your voice '3'
Fullbody if u can plz its my dream I have been asking for one for 5 yars strait

Thank you in advance
watch furries and the media panels here and use those tools to explain what we do/are to your father. use positive imagery, simple words. and avoid words like not and arent. he'll have a better understanding of the fandom and may b more comfortable with u making suits. If not wait till u move out.
