I feel like I'm finally unlocking the full potential of Nomad Sculpt by mastering all the masking features and the tube feature. The current base I'm working on will have magnetic swappable eyes and I am so proud of myself for figuring all of this out!

Mofumofu! I specifically chose the colors based on their stretch fur offerings as ik stretch fur is a lotttt harder to colormatch. I'm not familiar with gummyshark though, do you have a link to their site? πŸ‘€

Your green critter was what inspired me to make this guy!! I'll keep it in mind bc the smooth look is fantastic, I do like how the pile of stretch fur allows for a little more margin of error though

If you want to become this guy, keep an eye out on @magicmustelids.bsky.social in a few months! We want to start focusing on fullsuits with super unique shapes and features!

Here's a fun concept I did of a pooltoy plush-style fullsuit. Made out of stretch fur with sewn highlights for a fun and super toony look and feel, complete with a nozzle, handlebars, intentional seams, and lots of round shapes :)

This is going to be a year of a lot of fursuit experimentation. I'm really excited to level up!

We're JTAG (formerly Gatorwave) and Jam, and we're TWO AWESOME MUSTELIDS making AWESOME FURSUITS TOGETHER!

JTAG has nearly 7 years of fursuit making experience under his belt! Jam is new to the scene but is having a blast! Together we're bringing characters to life and making super-cool products!

I have a big announcement to make!

I am moving away from the name 'Gatorwave'. I don't resonate with it as much as I used to & I'd like some separation between me and my work. As a result, I am partnering with my best friend Jam in order to form a new fursuit business called:

MAGIC MUSTELIDS!

Introducing Jam! Magic Mustelids first official bodysuit! This otter has quite the appetite for a good old PB&J! Catch them squeaking around at Furpoc and other local events in New England! πŸ¦¦πŸ“

I also have my personal acct @gatoryote.bsky.social if you'd like to hear me ramble, although I haven't posted there in a while (oops... life got busy). However this account will be less active and our Magic Mustelids account will be our primary fursuit posting place.

Thank you all!

What we called the "fun pants". Blue neoprene pants with foam glued at the thighs, knee, and butt to form digi legs. There are shoes at the bottom with foam sculpted toes. Please excuse the messy background

The "fun pants" all taped up with duct tape. You can really see the final vision here!

I haven't made a digi bodysuit since 2022 and I've never made one with this foam method. Honestly I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a very particular shape (esp for slim or sharper digi) and will likely be making a tutorial on my website about it in the future!

Full fursuit photo of Jam the otter outside with one foot on a rock. They have their eyelids on and are wearing a pink strawberry bandana. Their arms are crossed over their legs and you can clearly see the slim digitigrade shape from this angle

Today I finished teaching @averagefurr.bsky.social how to make a fursuit bodysuit! We finished it in one week together!

We sculpted everything by hand and were incredibly happy with how it turned out :D

This is rare, but I’m considering maybe taking on 1-2 longer-term fursuit commissions due to the upcoming material price hike.

I won’t be officially open for comms again in a *very long* time (at least a year from now) so this is a rare opportunity to get a custom suit from me!

If you’re interested, please DM! My website prices are outdated. Inquiring does not guarantee a slot, but if you’ve wanted to comm me for a while, this is a great opportunity :)

Fun fact: I had to learn how to braid in order to make his hair. Each braid is 3 strips of fur that had their backings brushed so they’re double sided fur pieces, then I braided them how you would human hair!

The bee sting removal procedure was a resounding success (Remy for @rempixel.art is all glued!)

I also installed his hair, which features some braids! I still need to add the hair ties but I’m quite happy with how they came out 😌
