Mark (Maney) the Lion is Finished!

Here are a dozen of my favorite fullbody pics - showing off all views. 


I'm really happy with his digitigrade stance and I just love how the arm fringe hangs and moves ^^

Here he is!  

The model is smaller/shorter than the client, so the photos are a bit baggy in the legs and rear (we padded the chest/belly); I cannot wait to see properly-fitted client photographs!

I love the very striking colours. The bright eyes and claws are a great contrast to the dark furs. 

This was my first tw...

Sand your resin before gluing!

Sand your resin before gluing!

I score it using a Dremel sanding drum but you can use sandpaper as well. Gives a much more secure hold no matter what part you’re gluing down (claws etc). Sand them all! πŸ˜„

The teeth and tongue are a brand new sculpt (my first time trying a sculpted tongue!) and they totally elevate the head to 11! Also my first time using aida cloth for tear ducts and wow!! I'm a believer ;)

The $10 tier unexpectedly locked? Tier-specific content explained

I've had a few queries over why some (lower tier) posts in your timeline might be locked - While I've explained it personally as the question comes up, I'd like to just go over that here for anyone else that might still be wondering.

Tier Changes + Two NEW tiers!

Reci Wolfpaw! Patreon's early look at the final costume

He's finished! This suit was a challenge - He features many firsts for me! Reflective eyes, patterned EVA foam head, digitigrade padding for someone over 6' (surprisingly difficult!) Plus I finally got to make feral druid from World of Warcraft! (I still play almost every weekend and yes I play a druid ;)

Patreon on Vacation: Update

Woo! Here I am back from my three week winter holiday/Family visit.

It was a really nice, relaxing trip up to Canada and we had a lovely first Christmas with my nephew and extended family ^_^ We did not have a winter Christmas last year, so this year my eldest daughter (5 years old) learned to skate, went downhill sledding often, and we ...

Dropping by to remind everyone that I have/am pausing my Patreon for an extended holiday season (Nov, Dec, Jan). 



Patreon does automatically become active again at the start after each month, but I already paused it for November's billing cycle a couple weeks ago and I just repaused it for December's cycle (and I'll do the same for t...

Head molds ready for action

I finally had a chance to take most of my fursuit head molds outside to clean away all of the fine, sticky ash that had covered the insides and outside after the Thomas fire. Since the garage shelves are up, I will now be moving them into my new wet work area! Slowly, I have been/will be working on clearing out and cleaning (ash on every surface!...

Since the baby arrived, regular outdoor photoshoots are not really feasible (in a 'lacking people to entertain them' way as well as simply not having the time) so we've been focused on fast-tracking our home photo-studio (so we can take photos at any opportunity).

And it's finally ready! Here Ms Tittles is toasting to the occasion in her bes...

Footpaw wip

After gluing and trimming, I am handsewing the fur down to the foot before I attach the parade sole. It's not strictly needed but it is always good to make *extra* sure that something won't come loose in the future with time & wear. Since this is a lot of layers to sew through, I'm using a leather needle. These needles come to a very very sh...

Interested in head bases?

I am considering using up some of my materials before they age out.. If I cast a few extra head bases to sell to patrons, what would you be interested in? They can all be cast in either foam or resin. 

I included an 'other' option because it would be interesting to know for the future what animals you'd like to see.
