Thankies!

nice again

And Thanks again!

Wow. That's gorgeous!

Awww! Thanks so much! I really wanted it to look as good as possible.

Mmm very pretty! I like the fur gradations!

Thanks so much! It was an important feature to me.

Holy crap.

Um,.... Thanks? lol

Aww, she's beautiful! :)

Awww, thanks so much! That means a lot!

Very beautiful Detail!! ^_^

Thankies! Lots of hard work!

Rarely do I find a fursuit head pleasing to my eye. They're often way too cartoonish and huge, this seems to be tight-fit and thus very good looking.

A piece of fine work, I must say.

Wow! Now that means a LOT to me! It's exactly how I feel (not that there are no great head designs out here, but very few who share the same aesthetics I do).

The head is actually much larger than what I would want normally, as is the traditional design with Realms of Enchantment's designs. They are shoulder-mounted heads, which make them a little awkward. I put a lot of time into the detail to compensate for that.

Wow thats fantastic work :O

Thanks so much!

Lol! You lost me...

Anything done with an airbrush is always a crowd pleaser n.n

^__^ I agree!

Looks awesome! I still love those eyes.

Thanks so much! I prefer the fan-favorite eyes of Scribble's creations, with the "follow-you" 3D eyes. Since Realm's uses the traditional mesh approach, I took the opportunity to super-detail the eyes.

It worked Well

Wow... looks beautiful!

Thanks so much! You're too kind!

Bah! The airbrush work is absolutely superb!

Again, too kind! Thanks so much!

wow, great job, what kind of paint do you use?

For this project, standard acrylic paint via airbrush. The fur is a short, 1/4-inch pile that takes the paint well. Longer piles do not.

have you ever came across a metalic silver paint for an air brush?

I have! Liquitex makes some decent metallic paints, and they can be found at most hobby/craft/art stores, like Michael's, JoAnn Fabric, etc. Here's a link to their site:

What a pretty face, it has an inspiring look.

Awww, *blushes hard* thanks so much!

wow beautiful job =^.^=

*SNUGS!* Thanks!

The details are very appreciable :3

Thank you very much!

That is SO cool... how long did that take?

The airbrushing took about 30 minutes to actually do. However, I had created dozens of Photoshop experiements long before I did the real thing, both as practice and to nail-down a design I liked.

Well I think it's outstanding... beautifully done.

Thanks again! ^__^

Wowzers, I've only ever seen one other head with eyes that detailed.

I'd be curious to know/see which one!

If you know Hiromi Kitsune--her head has really expressive eyes, too.

I do not know her, but I looked her up on Google! Very nice indeed!

hehe WOW nice

Aww, thankies!

not a problem ^_^

Such a beautiful fox. I love the detail work with the fur.

Thanks so much! It means a great deal to me!

Holy smokes that is gorgeous!! The colors are beautiful, especially in the eyes and the fur looks so incredibly soft.

The fur IS pretty soft! Although not nearly long enough in my opinion. Realm's uses a short, 1/4-inch pile which, actually, is decent for the head, but lacking in the body.

The acrylic paint, however, stiffens the fur strands, so painted areas become coarse. This technique is mostly a visual please than a tactile one.

*gives yer noseya kittylicky and cuddles ya all over* hehe so cute ya are ;)

*purrrrrs* heheh aw, shucks!

Oh yeah? That's entirely possible. Especially since Realms uses very similar designs for all of its suits/heads. This was the main reason why I wanted to design the head myself; not only do I have aa need to do my own detail work, I wanted the head to be unique. Still, the general head shape exists in may places.

Out of curiosity, what is AFO?

Ahh, very cool!

As a fellow fursuiter and pro airbrush artist, I commend you! :)

I am very familiar with you and your gorgeous fursuit, my dear! It has become the bar for which I hope to acheive in my next suit!

You honor me!

I think you're doing wonderful so far! He looks so cute and cuddly. Just wanna huggle him all up. ^.^

Awww, thanks kindly! ^__^ *SNUGS!!!*

Hee! *snugs!*

Those eyes are so cute!! They just scream please huggle, and snuggle me up!

Lol! Yay! That means a lot! *blushes and tailwags*

Wow. That's excellent craftsmanship. Is there a secret to how you blended the fur at the base of the muzzle, or is the coloration airbrushed?

I restored an old plushie, once. It turned out only OK -- a lot more work than I thought it would be.

Hey there! Thanks so much!

I was ONLY responsible for the airbrushing on this head, so yes. The actual construction of the head was completed by Realms of Enchantment!

I HATE fursuits.. but this head just looks awesome O_o Both the design and coloring.
You put alot of work into in and thats what I like, even though you only did the colors.

Hey there! Thanks for the honesty, and I can respect that. I can admit that I was not always a fan of the fursuit. I used to think that they were largely in bad taste and most of them were not the best of construction. But once I realized the artistic value of them, and how much creativity goes into them, there are some really really good ones out there.

Thanks for the thoughts!

All by yourself wow i wanna be able to do that soon one day.

Yup yup! All of the actual construction was completed by DarkRealms. But the airbrushing was all me, and I was sweating bullets the whole time!

Wonderful head!

Hi there!!! *snugs!

Thank you!!

Awww! You're so sweet! I wish the answer was "yes", but sadly I'm not going anywhere soon. Too much work!

WOW O_O absolutely cool!

*blushes* Thanks so much! ^__^

Oooh, a very nice upgrade - I'd always wondered where your icon came from. I wasn't sure if it was CG art or a real head. Now I know! :D

Yes yes! Real head ^_^

This is a custom-built head from Darkstone Realms/Realms of Enchantment (now defunct?) which I airbrushed and detailed myself. Photos of the full suit are floating around out there somewhere.

Ooh, pretty! I didn't know Realms did full custom work like that.

Hello again!

Quite honestly, I'm not sure what Realm's did or didn't do. They worked with me on adjusting the positions of ears and other physical details, but I did all of the custom airbrushing myself, which was how I purposely ordered it. Realm's did their own airbrushing, but I had a very specific plan for the debut KB suit, andI'm very happy with it!

Here's a link to the suit as it arrived, out-of-box:

I have always liked this head

Many thanks! I appreciate your saying so!
