Some before and after paint pics for ya (the before pics being one of the many "trust the process" stages of a fursuit omg sometimes they have so many "I hope I know what I am doing" phases)

Custom Creature Costumes Beastcub.com
yeah redid that last post as a re-post because as a comment in the thread it made me look like I am open for custom commissions right now <w<;;; sorry folks, no custom orders until February!
"yay I am more than half done with this big complex dino fullsuit :D " *nervous glance at the even more complex dino fullsuit looming in the future (luckily said dino is BEYOND understanding that I am gonna "take a breather" and make a couple simple partials between this dino and their dino <w<)
TheBeastcub@thebeastcub.bsky.social · 3mo agoLooks like the first new clients chosen are gonna be a feathered dino, and a bird that looks like a feathered dino :O
One thing I'm not liking about the OoT remake is they are making it easier to play, blind plays of OoT is a common background noise for me, and SO many people reflect on the fact newer games make their solutions so obvious compared to this older game which expects players to be more intuitive-
so is it toxic for a geriatric parent to use their demise to guilt their kids? example: she wants to replace the back deck (which only I use the back door or deck) I say we can't afford it rn, that it's a next yr project, she gets furious, says I'm controlling her & she may not be around next year.
wow this really is the wrong timeline for me to have been born into as a germaphobe what the hell
Once again making a dino and once again a certain tune from a certain movie is playing nonstop in my head and no, no it's not any of the epic tunes from a dino film you'd immediately think of no, it's the got dang ringtone of the satellite phone inside the spino's stomach from Jurassic Park 3 🫠
(is it still called a mermaid if it has legs??) A little something out of the ordinary. Made of various kinds of velvet including iridescent foil snakeskin. The horn and all the ice crystals light up. The wig, ears, crown and horn are all 1 piece. Features a color shifting crystal on the tail fin.
I have a new idea that is too big to be a premade and thus I need to find a client for it in order for it to be made, let me know if you would like to run around as this playful pun :3 -must be a fullsuit -hands can 3, 4 or 5 fingered -must be neck vision -must be toony
"so what are your retirement plans?" I dunno, be dead by 65
Just thinking about how many more fur fabrics we have now, when I made this in 2014 the only dark gray teddy type fur I could find was this French Tissavel, which had a weird stiff awful canvas-like backing, and cost me almost $100 a yard. ALSO pastel yellow fur DID NOT exist at all back then.
currently working on something that's not a fursuit so here is a reminder that I do also do not-fursuit things on a case-by-case basis
custom order canid with extra large ears, and orange cat eyes for an otherworldly touch, (This base is actually meant for resin eyes but with the space inside for glasses it pushed the tear duct vision too far forward to see out of comfortably, so mesh eyes were used to expand the range of vision)
So only now at 40 can I get meds to help my PCOS and only because it was renamed and better recognized as a metabolic disorder, meds to fight the insulin resistance that has caused me so much woe with my weight and is why for years now my fasting blood glucose has been 1 point away from prediabetic
gots toony feathered raptors on the brain since one is next in the queue (and a full raptor not a dragon hybrid this time)
Now would be a great time to get my Ocarina of Time Epona cosplay out of storage and try to fix her up.... (She's 16 years old now and the arm stilts were my first jointed prototype and the joints have become unstable, TBH fixing that alone is quite the task)
I have so many furs for so many things I wanna make, did the Neapolitan and vineyard fox this year but had to drop the price a ton to get em sold, so ya know what? Cheap premades planned for next year! I wanna see these critters made darnit! Already hired someone to make the latte leopard bodysuit!
TheBeastcub@thebeastcub.bsky.social · 8mo agopart of organizing the hoard today was putting some of what I have for premades in their own storage box. I will have proper sheets made up for all these with concept art in the future, but they are for claiming any time. we have: latte leopard/saber spring fox teal leopard/saber Neapolitan fox
up next on the work table, E A R S been a while since I have done all the wiggly squiggly bits, which, uh, curse the "cutaneous marginal pouch" in particular (my brain always goes "wat")
Anyone else see a great dane fursuit on Animal Planet (maybe Discovery Channel or TLC?) in the 90s or early 2000s? The context: I think the show was called "Breed All About It" and the episode was great danes, the lady that they interviewed showed off she had a costume to match her dogs, BUT-
So as to better balance work flow and income fluctuations I will now be open for customer orders twice a year! Every first week of February and first week of August I will give quotes to all inquires and add 5-10 new clients to my queue at that time. Artistic liberty is still open year-round
an artistic liberty commission for a big ol fantasy bird that was mostly a kind of eagle/hawk/falcon, but also had some chocobo vibes including riding gear. I liked inventing a bird, give me more fantasy birds!
LIFE RANT: wish I did not have to be my mom's caretaker, wish I did not have to stay in the house she claims she gifted us but then holds over our heads. She's nasty to my sister and I called it out because my sis is legit broken right now, now my mom is in a flying rage accusing me of elder abuse
I got this adorable miss yesterday and drew her today! :3c !!! YAY my first fursuit purchase!
TheBeastcub@thebeastcub.bsky.social · 5mo agoLooking for a sweet treat? Something fruity like grapes? Something indulgent like ice cream? How about both? If you buy both I can give you a small discount because it would be so cute if they could attend events together <3 www.thedealersden.com/other-items/...
