Braixen WIP photos part 2!

Putting together the head fur took like, a week in itself, seriously. First of all it had been a long time since I was able to work on it and I had lost the tape pattern with detailed descriptions on them, so I basically had to complete a 3D puzzle to know where to put everything!

Honestly for the body, I just blindly winged it. The legs I started with the front and back view in foam on a duct tape dummy, and just kinda went from there. For the “skirt” I just went crazy with newspaper and masking tape until the shape I wanted showed up, then I cut it into a pattern. The inside is lightly stuffed with some foam pieces, I think for later I’ll create a better inner structure. The feets were easy! After all that it was just a matter of doing the face, nose, andgetting the tail finished. The method of tail attachment needs work…

The biggest problem was the red ear tufts. We made a to-scale pair, but in such a hurry, we couldn’t manage to attach them in a way that worked! My sister managed to put together a smaller set just in time for us to go to the con on sunday, thanks momo! Well really, thank you so much for helping like the entire way!

She’s not perfect but I’m glad I was able to finish it! Can’t wait to go back up north to Momo’s (we live far apart now) so we can improve it for next time.
