Just about done all the furring here-- I gotta tighten up the neckfur some so it doesn't bunch up so much and add the zipper in the back.
He does look pretty funny without lips and eyes, hence the camera obscuring the most obvious part :3
I really like how he's coming out. It's my first (real) attempt at working with fur. Most of my previous heads were made out of papier mache, plaster, or polar fleece.
Interesting anecdote while buying said fur:
The chick that works at the fabric store I buy from was asking me the other day what I did with all the stuff I keep buying, so I told her. She found it interesting enough to not only remember what I do, but to tell people in the register lineup about it. As so:
[immigrants heckling her over the price of curtain textiles]
Cashier: WHOA GUYS, COSTUME MAKER COMING THROUGH. You guys can just wait until you're ready to buy something while I cut all this fur for her.
Me: Thanks! This shit's getting heavy. [dumps like 5 bolts of various fabrics on the counter]
Immigrant wife: You make costumes? It's not even Halloween yet!
Cashier: She makes money off it.
Immigrant wife: Wow... would you make one for my kid?
Me: Um.. no. They're for adults.
[awkward silence and a horrified look on immigrant wife's face]
Me: Um... in the sense that kids grow out of them too quickly for it to be worth it.
[Awkward silence continues]
Me: Um... yeah. [pays for fur and runs out of the store]
Furries: squicking normal people since the invention of the internet.

The fur I used actually has a lot of black fibers in the fabric backing (it was $10/meter for that reason, I suppose) which show though unless I sew the edges together. The backs of the ears and the temples are the only places I just glued the fur down instead of sewing it so I just sacrificed a little realism to avoid black strings all over. I left those parts unsewn because hotglueing the fur to the base would have been assful if I couldn't actually reach it :3
