Shirra Otter/Sylvek BatWhen I peek into my workshop and see this snoot look back at me.
I'll stop spamming batpics now I swear. Just so excited to finally get to this stage. 🦇
Glued most things so they stay in place. Eyes are much better, I can actually see stuff now. 🦇
Scree! Happy fursuit friday! I think I'm about ready to glue the fur on (held against the muzzle with a piece of tape at the moment). And after that, airbrushing. It's slowly coming together!
DipoleI need advice for picking a replacement #zipper for a #fursuit
I need to install a longer one. The zipper runs along the edge of the abdomen pattern. But if I make the zipper longer while still following that edge, it will have to follow a curve.
The Wawak website mentions that nylon coil zippers can handle curved seams, but it's not clear to me how. I only found one video about putting zippers on curved seams. I also worry the tooth geometry will catch on fur more easily.
The original zipper is molded plastic, and I already get irritated from how often it jams from caught fur. Moving the zipper to somewhere it can be straight is definitely viable, but would be a lot more work, and I think having it on a pattern boundary was meant to help it blend in more.
It also looks like I'll need to use rolls of zipper and add my own stops, but wawak only sells metal stops. I'm worried they would stand out.
I've sewn on part of the hair, and wanted to do a full assembly test to see just how fluffy things look. Happy.
Project batfloof update. 90% of the hair is done. Just needs a poof at the front/top, but I do want that to be rather thick, so that needs some extra work. And then there's the whole issue of attaching all this to the head properly. Gonna be so fluffy when done, though.

A photo of all the hair and mane fur i've hook latched so far. minus the early failures. I might be be overdoing it. garlic for scale. #fursuitmaking #bat
Project batfloof update. The hair is 4/6th done. Just needs a row at the bottom. Well, and everything needs sewing together, but that's a problem for another day.
