I went to Vancoufur with
brushfire on the weekend and had a blast! I took some selfies on Saturday morning to show off the ears I made to go with my fox tail. I used a pair of behind-the-head headphones as a base and a cap brim cut in half for the ear structure, and the rest is just super glue, hot glue, tape and fur (which I drybrushed black acrylic ink onto). They're not perfect, and my process ended up being roundabout and messy (I was up all night working on them the day before I left for the con XP), but in the end they stayed on my head all day - even when I got horrendously drunk that night at the dance - and they look more or less how I wanted them to, so I'm calling them a success :3
I'll post a few more pics later, these were just the quickie ones I got on my phone. VF was awesome though, we'll be going back next year for sure! (and
sketchy we are so dragging you with us ;3) Guess I should actually write a journal post, come to think of it...

Oh yeah, they really surprised me with how well they stay in! I was dubious about how they could possibly work when I ordered them, but whatever magic they use, it works great XD I've worn them tons of times (often while drunk flailing XD) and never had them fall out on me till now.
Hey, great idea with the behind the head earphones as a base! I might steal that from you, if I ever decide on doing, well, something as simple as you did here, some facepaint with ears and tail. I'll give full attribution if I pull it off.
I just keep missing you at the dances at the cons we're both at... wait, I did catch catch you once at MFF. So I miss you drunk art the dances. :)
Glad to hear Vancoufur is a good con! Certainly an easy one for you to go to.

Holy shit! Blunderbess saw you at VF! We liked your outfit and you wrestled me for the glowstick in the rave xD If we knew it was you, we would have mentioned we love your art! Glad you had fun, maybe we'll see you again next year :D
Teehee, thank you!! <3 I have... a vague memory of wrestling for a glowstick (and losing, LOL) at the rave, yes XD I hope I didn't make too much a fool of myself, I was pretty drunk haha. We will absolutely be coming back next year, so I hope we see you there again! ^.^
