I think Star Trek Strange New Worlds kinda really sucks. Or at least this season, so far. Whenever something truly bizarre happens, the best line characters can come up with seems to be "That happened". I kept waiting for a plot twist in the last episode, but it never came. And the characters spent over ten minutes telling us "Who cares about an explanation, shit was weird and unexplainable, woo!". Like, fuck science, right

Drew an avatar I am quite happy with for when I am in Sylvek bat-mode. I think it looks decent when cropped and downsized. #bat #furryArt

Going to Fable & Fantasy (fableandfantasy.nl) this weekend. Saturday, probably just with my Otter partial because of heat reasons. Maybe as a bat on Sunday. I didn't manage to finish fan integration in my bat suit in time so I guess I have to be a bit careful with the current heatwave. :blobcathappy:

Cat druid progress report. Probably will be done sometime around end this year or later, I expect. The plan is to do long hair, elaborate airbrushed green patterns, fake leaves and twigs. It's gonna be a lot of work and I don't expect to make much more headway before EF. #cat #fursuitmaking

Lotsa progress the past week.

- I'm working on a wizard staff. I found a stick outside (after a storm) that I attached to my late dad's (gnarled branch) walking stick. It's Gandalf-level huge now c: I used foam clay and some sculpting to add fake twisting branches at the top, and added a 3d printed gem, which I cut open, and added some electronics to power an LED to light it up. Also painted it, for the most part.
- I started work on a kitty druid character. Mostly just printed the base, added the eyes and eye mesh, painted the nose, attached the hing and padded the inside some. It fits nicely.
- Started work on creating better ears for my bat. The shape isn't quite right. New foam ears I've got right now look much better in shape.
- Made a cardboard cat ear for the kitty druid... I don't think the shape is right. Gonna tweak it before I cut it out, and transfer it to foam for detailing.
- Painted a mesh and Transferred my old otter tongue to my new otter fursuit head, and messed around with the padding to ensure a much better fit, and with that also much improved (tho still shit) vision.
- Working on adding fans to the inside of the bat head. Ordered some fake fems to add to the staff, and ordered curly hair I'll be able to latch hook to a mesh for my otter head.

Exciting stuffs. I'll post some pictures later in the process.

I sewed a scarf to the mane seam to hide it, so I can just throw this on top of any outfit and it sorta works without having to stuff it inside a collar or anything. :3

I finished some quick and dirty fursuit paws. It was hell to sew them, and even bigger hell to flip them inside out when they were done, but I managed. 🦇

@lukyan@lukyan.eu in this fursuit, you can see on the inside of the eyes there are "tear ducts". That black material is actually a very fine black mesh that you can see through pretty well. But yeah, the field of view is rather limited. Vision is not great, though it is better than with my last fursuit attempts, and I think I can improve it with some fur trimming. I also made goggles to go with it; but at the moment, wearing those, I might as well be a blind bat. I'll have to learn to echolocate. :blobyeengrin: Thanks, though, I try! ❤️

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!

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.

Miniature otter tail! Just wanted to try this out in mini form before making a bigger version. I cut slits into the foam to make it more bendy, and as I hoped, those slits aren't visible under the fur at all. #fursuit #otter
