Fursuit Construction and Building

Location: New England

So, I've been working on my suit as well as my fiances suit for... the past couple of months. His is almost done, all he needs are his feetpaws finished. Mine... all i have is the head and paws and thnings done.
I've tried this head in almost 3 different ways already. I've made a total of 3 heads so far and each one gets better with new improvements. I haven't finished my body suit yet, but the head is in good working order now that it's done! have a looksee. And if anyone needs some help on suits, just ask - I love thinking in a technical way about these costumes! so much fun!

UPDATE!:

Okay so the rest of the suit is pretty much done and I made a quick little thing about the eyes for some of you guys that asked. Maybe it'll make sense - maybe it won't. I plan on doing a better tutorial sort of thing when I go to work on my next suit (that one is for christmas so I have some time..)
But pics and slight tutorial can be found http://www.furaffinity.net/user/purpurn/

They should be set to general so they are open for everyone to see if not just give me a nudge. :3

Oh wow, that's really good. Are those 3D eyes?

heheheh - i always get confused when people ask me about the eyes. They are "follow me" eyes that are more like cups and go into the foam. they are covered over with a thin piece of mesh. the end effect is very spooky but neat! :3 if you'd like some pics explaining I'd be happy to post more.

Hmm...which website was it that explained how they do theirs...oh yeah, One Fur All.

A snippet from their FAQ:
The eyes themselves have no moving parts. The effect is an illusion created by the depth of field. One part of the eye is inset from the rest of the eye.

But, I'd still like to know how you did yours, that's just plain unique. Smiling And, the moveable jaw adds more realism to the suit.
