My First Fursuit Work In Progress!
Yep! ive started working on it, and so far (after a few days of work and touch ups), ive got the foam head and footpaws done
The head has a moving jaw, which im proud of ^_^

lol thank you! its also my first time making one, so i hope it still looks good when im finished 
haha and thanks XD ive never even been to disney.. o_O my grandpa got it for me i think lol
It's looking very good so far! However I have a few tips:
You've got quite a conehead going on there. I recommend either shaving the pointy tip of your noodle down some, or padding it up underneath the ears to give it a rounder shape.
Your ears are sticking out instead of up; partially to do with the conehead shape. If that's how you want your ears, that's fine, but a normal canine's are sticking up even before they flop over. This is alleviated if you choose to build up the head; removing the ears would be beneficial before you attempt this.
http://community.livejournal.com/fursuit/2718496.html Here is a great doodle of how the bottom of the ear is curved to give it that natural look 
Build up your eyeridges some more. Canines have some expressive brows. :3
Also, remember remember remember that fur adds an ENORMOUS amount of bulk to your head. Try to make the foamwork as small as possible, or you'll end up with a head that is too big for your body type (unless this is what you are going for, and are going to make an equally bulky body to go with it).
Here's an example with some WIPs of my gryph head:

I hope this helps!
thank you so much!!! that helped alot! I did notice the "cone headed-ness" (i can make up words if i want to.. lol ) and i hope that next time (hopefully, and im sure there will be, there will be a 'next time') i can shape it much better 
and that tip on ears was great too! thanks! ill keep that in mind!
i never even thought about the eyeridges, so thank you loads for that as well
it really did help alot, thank you SO so very much!
Good luck with the rest of your project! I'll look out for you at AC11!

i'm working on my suit as well. i have feet and head done, all i need is fur

head and feet are all i have, and i think im gonna do some touchups to the head to make it a little rounder...
