I'm otterly insane.

Made a little more progress on the zebra, I'm mostly happy with how the mohawk looks, I've spent a lot of time sewing wefts to get here. Now the hard part is how to finish it all. #fursuit #fursuitwip #zebra

Thanks to @ozziebonez.bsky.social for helping with this! We still need to do some R&D on the mane, trying to use actual wefts and make sure it stands on it's own. #fursuitmaker #fursuitwip #zebra

Thanks! I'm desperate to get to digital patterning, getting me to a fully digital workflow.

WIP Zebra and 2D patterns generated by pandafold

2D patterns used to make the zebra

I used @pandafold.bsky.social (I'm the author of Pandafold) to pattern this zebra and it's been quicker and less error prone than tapping - I'm gonna use this zebra as a show piece at TFF table to show what Pandafold can do #tff2026 #fursuitmaker #fursuitwip #zebra #3d #sewingpatterns

Finally Introducing Riley2 my most recent suit. Zero blind spots at all, moving jaw, magnetically removable beak for drinking while being super slim and lightweight.

HUGE thanks to @pandafold.bsky.social for his amazing digital fabric patterning software! Absolutely check them out!

Cover of the 2026 Painted Desert Furry Convention con book.

I'll be giving a panel on Pandafold ( painteddesertfc.org/schedule/#437 ) on Sunday at 10am at Painted Desert Fur Con #PDFC #PDFC2026 #fursuitmaker #plushmaker

So I cast my liners into my expanding foam heads, this is what a liner looks like before I put it in the mold, it includes the lined mouth, ducts for fans, and some other ducts to help breathability.

It is an equine, but sadly the cast failed, so I'll have to redo it. I want to make a zebra to show off the patterning capability of Pandafold

More otts? #otter #fursuitmaker #fursuitwip

This looks like some sort of fetish. #fursuitwip #fursuitmaker

Used Pandafold to redesign the insides of my fursuit heads - digital patterning for the win, no duct tape! Made it easy to figure out where I could streamline my design. This guy is almost ready for the "mane" event ... casting. Somebody is getting a stripy sibling. #fursuitmaker #fursuitwip

Come checkout out my panel at Painted Desert Fur Con 2025, I'll be presenting a panel on what it takes to get to digital patterning using Pandafold. #PDFC #fursuitmaker #fursuit

All of the goats for sale come as a massive package. Kigu, head bag, badge, bandana, care kit, suitcase, luggage tag, Goat Snax, and spare tail! Come check them out!

Double trouble going to MFF

We need a measure of the density of cute otters per sqft because that box is off the charts - and is probably unsafe! #fursuit #fursuitmaker #otter

Moss otter partial for auroraboros.bsky.social #fursuitmaker #fursuit #otter

I see you! #fursuitmaker #fursuitwip #otter

I took this commission prior to starting work on Pandafold and I've been nibbling at it for a while now with help from @ozziebonez.bsky.social; it's the only commission in my queue. It will be the last fursuit I make without digital patterning!

I'm pausing work on Pandafold for a few days to bang out a otter mini-partial, it's a twin of this otter, @ozziebonez.bsky.social sewed the face on this new one! #otter #fursuitwip #fursuitmaker

This wolf was patterned with Pandafold, I rushed it out for DenFur. No taping, just straight from 3D model to printed patterns to fur! #fursuit #fursuitwip #fursuitmaker #sewing #3d #plushmaker #plushart #cosplay #cosplayartist #cosplaymaker

Whoa, the projection window feature is amazing. I've seen people use projectors for cutting out patterns but ive seen it requires to set up the projector so it points straight down so things project correctly from a flat pattern image.

(1/8) Quick Intro to 3DCoatPrint YouTube video by Synanthropic Arts

I put together a video series on using 3DCoatPrint; it's a very powerful free alternative to Blender and NomadSculpt, check it out if you want to add another tool to your 3D toolbox. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM7z... #fursuitmaker #3d #plushmaker #cosplay #cosplayartist #cosplaymaker #3dprinting

Together we can end big duct tapes monopoly on DTDs!
