When I did it, I next moved on to pencil / sharpie out the fur pattern (what's white / blue for you) then I roughed out some further shapes, trying to break them up into "what's the most flat shape I can make" for these curves. After THAT, I also marked out what direction I wanted the fur to go!

The com badge is someone's fridge magnet design I modified to have embedded magnets, but instead of the two it came with, I figured 7 would hold a LOT better. Fingers crossed I don't lose this one!

(Also briefly, I'm going to be using the paws / tail of my old fursuit, made by the now very much defunct Dandylions LLC.)
As for the tricorder, I kitbashed someone's design with a phone case to make a somewhat hidden way for me to record the parade!

First quick test fit of the costume!
I can't JUST be a lion for Halloween, of course! Doing a Star Trek Lower Decks-themed cosplay this year, with some props I quickly 3d printed. xD

Immediately I'm like "I should really try adding lips" so now that's also happening - it'll just take like 3 days for the foam clay to dry before I can make them permanent. x3

The mane is coming along! Might add more to the sides / may attempt to color it for the two-toned mane look, but I'm pleasantly pleased with how it looks so far!

Update! Slowly chipping away at the rest of the face! All that's left is the cheek fluff~!
After that, it's on to figuring out how to do the ears, and most excitingly, the mane!

Listening to the recent @twrpband.bsky.social album on repeat while working on stuff lately 'cause it's SUCH a good vibe~
Reminded of when I saw them live back in 2022, and the art I made for the occasion. x3

Also - I made some eye deets out of some foam clay! Going to let those dry, then plop them in place to hopefully manage the fur around the eyes better. x3
(If it works well, I'll probably do a similar thing for the lips!)

Refurbishing my old @palaeosinensis.com mask that I'd put together (and covered in fur) back in 2018 I think?
Here it is now versus my last refurbishment attempt in 2022. (GOODNESS it's nice to have an actual fur trimmer now.) xD
