I was wondering what i should start making first for my first fursuit. It is a white tiger with black stripes. I tried looking for patterns or tutorials but couldn't find anything. Annny links or help would be appreciated. I haven't started the suit yet. I haven't even got the materials yet. I'm just planning for now. Wuv, Underpants |

Tigers are usually very hard to make, as it's hard to get the stripes to look right. Most pre-printed fabric for tiger skin, the stripes are too narrow and looks overly 'busy' in a full suit, not to mention cheesy.
The usual options for tigers is to a) hand sew the stripes into the suit, which you need to be really comfotable sewing to get it to look good or b) air brush (or paint) the stripes onto a solid white fur.
You may want to check out the Live Journal fursuit group, feel free to ask questions and make sure to check out the memories section. Lots of tips on how to build a head, making patterns for the body part of the suit, and just general tips on how to do this or that.
