So back in January at FC
nevermint had me color these eyes for his panda head that
shadow-da-wolf made. I didn't really like how they came out and they'd been bothering me for months so I asked him if I could redo them. He agreed and sent me his head so this is what I did today! (Appropriate day to do so if I do say so myself. ;P)
They aren't the greatest eyes ever but I think they have lot more character and match the character's personality more (EVIL PANDA!!)
Here are some mini descriptions of each picture:
1) Right after receiving the head. No changes yet with the old eyes I made. That orange one was SUPPOSED to be yellow. I failed to color it right. He stole my waffle! (waffle made by
matrices)
2) After ripping out the old eyes, also I moved the tongue in the mouth back a bit, this is how it looked originally.
3) Paper mock-up of new eye and eyebrow. I tried a version with lids too but with the space left with the shape of the eye hole I couldn't add lids because it was sort of a strange shape so I went for more of a half circle eye.
4) Original ear. I decided to add fur in these because I thought the seams were kind of obvious.
5) I trimmed the ears up a bit and made them match his character sheet more:

6) Ears now with fluff in 'em!
7)After finishing the eyes and the eyebrows I placed them on the head and took a picture.
8)All glued in and finished! There is a little spot on the inner yellow eye where the fur is a bit screwy looking but I tried to clean that up as best as I could.
Anyways!! I hope you like the new eyes, Minty!!! :D

Awe thanks! :D
Haha just this one. XD Free thing for a good friend. I don't think I could do something like this well enough to be payed for it, I can't sew at all and it was super hard just to find time to do this! My full time job takes up 90% of my life lol. I do want to make another hlaf-suit again myself someday (I made one in the past and have 2 WIP ones right now) but I don't think I could ever do more than that unless I had a lot more time!

True. Fursuit-building is really time-consuming, but the end result is soooo worth it! :) I remember that a looong time ago, you said you'd get a Trick suit done, and I've been hoping ever since. He's such an awesome character and would definitely be at home at FurFright.
Hmm.. Well,
mangoislandcreations has cool, cartoony-styled suits, and many of them look zany, it might work with your art style for Trick. :)
BTW, making suits is a learning process, it won't be beautiful the first time around. I learn something new every time I build one, and now after.. what.. 6 suits?.. they are finally beginning to look better. I bet if you had the time to contribute to them, you'd do a fantastic job at making suits.

That's actually the #1 person on my list right now for him. I even got a quote already from her. X3 I am just waiting until next year or the year after to get him because I am getting Mothcat this month and Chai in January (hahah so many suits!!) I don't wanna spend too much all at once on suits. X3
I made one suit! (Swyvel, she's retired.) It's just that sewing thing I can't get down at all.. I think my impatience and ADD doesn't help!! lol.

Awesome! I can't wait to see how those guys look. What's Chai?
Do you go to AC? I was going to say "I'm not sure if I'll be able to recognise you at a con when you have so many suits" but I'm not sure I've ever seen you at AC. LOL I think that's why we've only ever tried meeting for FC, but sadly that's will be the last time i'll be there cuz it cost so much. D:
LOL I totally understand the whole fursuit-rage that comes with building your own suit. I'm so particular that I always get my fursuits done the night before the con, though most often have to sew up parts in the car on the way to the con. O_o

Chai is a Ragdoll/Snowshoe Siamese/DSH mix kitty. lol. I usually refer to her as a ragdoll but she has shorter fur and traits stolen from my DSH cat and snowshoe siamese as well. XD PICTURE: http://www.synchrastudios.com/galle.....sheet.jpg.html She used to go by "Amanda" when I didn't have a name for her..since she is essentially me as a cat.
Nope, AC is wayyyyy too expensive for me! I have the same problem in reverse. x.x I have never been.
Yeah I am too picky to make my own things and I have no time. x.x
