The eyes... oh God, the eyes! Why are they so small?!

"Your character will look ridiculous wearing these, but they give, like, +20 to magic, so it's vital to equip them on any caster class."

These boots were made for walkin'.

Almost done with the feet for my suit. Gotta say, they're really warm! I'll probably be wearing them around the house this winter just because.

It's October, and again I'm ill prepared. But I'm bringing out this old picture that I made about 3 or 4 years ago for my pfp.

It's Raccoon Appreciation Day! I forgot about it so I didn't have anything planned, but I did do a couple of new stickers for my telegram sticker set.

A perfectly normal proportioned raccoon. Dante being a smug little ass.

Wanted to try to draw again, so I found a raccoon photo that I liked and drew Dante in that pose.

Damn, making hands got hands.

Finally finished making the hand paws for my suit!

These were made following @freckledcat.bsky.social youtube tutorial with some minor modifications so that I could stick my fingers through. Major thank you to them! It can be found here: youtu.be/U9hekVYAUOg

Pair of grey raccoon fursuit hands pictured to show the front and back. There's still work to be done to trim up some of the fur, but I'm considering them essentially done.

About 3 weeks ago I took my fursuit head out for a spin for the first time at @cringeraccoon.bsky.social birthday party! It was a blast to get to wear him, and honestly, not as hot as I was expecting. Here are some pictures with me and Cringe and @technotanuki.bsky.social

So, he's not yet complete, but enough that I could wear him around. The neck needs to be trimmed down, felt added to his lower lip, and add hair. This will have to be done later as I need time to work on stuff that I've been neglecting for a while.

Just finished up the last of the face. I think all I have left is to sew the face and ears to the head fur, sew the mouth on, glue it on, shave it down, and add the neck, nose, and hair.

Last but not least, I got a really cute 10-minute sketch commission from @gustlywolf.bsky.social ! All-in-all FWA was a good experience. I felt that I opened up more with people than I have in the past. It helped that I knew more people going in. Hopefully, next con I'll have my suit.

I also got to pick up an awesome commission from @hoodiedogs.art !!! I love how this turned out! Now, I just need to get it framed.

I did have physical stickers for the first time. Passing them out was probably the most fun I've had at a convention, honestly. The reactions to them were great! I'll have to try to print out some more of those and others for future cons.

Two stacks of stickers: the one on the left being an anthro raccoon wearing a blue shirt leaning back on some pillows with a very round, full stomach; the one on the right of the same character as a feral raccoon getting belly rubs.

It's the end of the final day of Bewhiskered, and I'm finally relaxing enough to post something, so I'd love to show off this awesome sketch that I got from @technotanuki.bsky.social ! Thank you so much, Techno!

Covered the head in tape to get ready to pattern it. Now I'm just waiting for grey fur and I should be able finish it up. Maybe? I don't really know what I'm doing, haha!

So, it's been a month and I feel like I've barely gotten anything accomplished on it. But, the teeth are sewn in, mouth and head lining are glued in, a tongue's made, there's some extra foam on the side for more cheek fluff and I'm working some magnetized eyebrows.

He's coming along! Still need to line the inside and probably rework the teeth to get them to fit better. I wanted to try to order some fur swatches to try to find a better match for his colors, but I feel asleep after work today and was only able to finish up the eyes.

Just finished up sewing these teeth into the fursuit head I'm making. Hopefully, this is correct, because it took a ton of time, haha! 🥲 I've sewn up a lot more teeth just because they were fun to do, but I'm not sure if I should add any more.

I love eating garlic. I cook it with most of my dishes. It keeps the vampires away. I'm beginning to suspect that you're all vampires.
