felinaeusSo suit building by hand isn't all that bad.
I'm doing it in three parts.
Part the first: Pants. Well, lower half anyways.
-This is pretty much accomplished. They are built. Now I just have to finish the beltline (waist) and the ankles, and they're done. Pictures will be posted tonight. The jean-shorts now look old and used and fit nicely over them. The last bit of the lower half is the tail. I have to figure out how to reconstruct it a little (the one I do have from an old costume is a wee bit small)
Part the second: Shirt.
-This is tonight's project. I'll be pulling apart an old t-shirt for the basic pattern. The main part of this will be easy. Sleves just being simple tubes attaching. What I am going to have fun with are the gloves.
Part the third: Head.
This is going to be the hardest part. The ears I already have. The basic neck/side coverings are the easiest part. the face is what is puzzling me. I have an idea on how to make the form, but it's going to take some time and skill to make it work. It's probably going to look like crap, mind you.
Any suggestions on easily improvisational materials for the face?
