Making My First Fursuit (Part 3) - Foot Paws

[@SterioRoo0405]

fursuit maker tip for you. the lining isnt just to look nice, it has a functional purpose and that is to keep the inside generally more clean then letting sweat soak directly into the foam. and it doesnt have to be a fancy pattern material it can be any light weight fabric like lycra or spandex type fabric

[@AspenTheTherian-de1ei]

:0 HEY ZEAL ITS ASPEN!!!

[@Nick-yy7my]

I very excited for the tail! You’re giving me hope for when I eventually get around to making one

[@Kasperanzaa]

Me too! Good luck in your fursuit making!

[@jackspedicy2711]

i went to the store and got myself 3 meters of light brown soft fur. man, if only this thing could shapeshift into paws

[@Kasperanzaa]

Good news. It can shapeshift! All you need is the power of using your own mind to make your hands construct it the way you want

[@YTliveNana]

omg you did such a good job, i am a fursuit maker to and that looks like a pro could have made it! you go kasperanza!

[@Kasperanzaa]

Thank you!

OH MY GOSH! Is that seriously your first fursuit? Because it looks like your 100th! Amazing job! I’m making my first fursuit too, and I’m up to furring it, but I’m kinda procrastinating too… but we do have to have some time for our mental health. I’m sure when you finish everything, the product will look amazing! Keep up the amazing work!

[@Kasperanzaa]

Lol yes it is my first! I think my first looks like the 100th cuz I've already had some experience with drawing and painting, so I feel like that translated well when constructing my fursuit. Thank you very much for your enthusiastic comment! :3 Good luck making your own fursuit!

[@SuperNova_Wolf56]

Your feet paws look so good!!!! Omg

[@Lunionpaws]

So cool it looks so good so far! Also I love neffertity

[@Kasperanzaa]

Thank you, and yeah she's great :3

[@StarfenStudios]

so, im mid-through watching this (i will finish it dw) and, by not doing the cloth on the inside, itll get hot, you will sweat if your in there for awhile and im sure that would cause damage to your foam, im sure you dont want that to happen after all your hard work. (Lmk if im wrong about anything, i havent made a fursuit before BUT i do plan on making one very soon so ive done a bit of research)

[@Kasperanzaa]

No, that's a good tip! I didn't know. I think it's too late to put cloth inside the shoe, especially since the shoes I used were crocs. But I do plan to cover the foam part soon, at least before the Winter ends when things start to get warm again.

[@erebosthemogoreg]

The lining for inside of feet paws is help protect the foam, it serves the same as for headbases. Helps with cleaning in the long run when you sweat and the fabric absorbs it rather than the foam itself. Helpd for more breathability as well.

[@Kasperanzaa]

Right, I'll need to add fabric soon

[@erebosthemogoreg]

@@Kasperanzaa Aye! Everyone learns new things when doing stuff like this. When I first made mine, I did not know how important it was until I tried the other things and had seen QUITE the difference. Made my heads much more breathable and allowed for extended wear. Which goes for the feet paws as well. I ended up going back and adding in the lining once I learned how much nicer it really was and not as stuffy and hot. ❤️ I'm still learning myself of different things for fursuit making even if I've already made several things before.

[@Old.acc.lol12]

I've seen all 3 of these parts so far, and You're doing so good. Honestly, I can't wait to see your work in the near future.

[@Kasperanzaa]

Thank you, love your support!

[@muppetism]

I’m loving this series

[@forestofgloom1353]

I really admire how you could keep this project so serious. And honestly, enough with the self critique, it looks absolutely amazing UwU

[@Kasperanzaa]

Thanks! I try to do things that enjoy the best I can do them. And okokok, I'll try to stop criticism. UwU I just can't help it sometimes... I'm a virgo moon, so it is in my nature to criticize all that is wrong.

[@jamesataye4165]

Duude. Because you are making them, you know them inside and out, so you know where you've made mistakes or haven't done something how you were expecting. But honestly, when we look at them, they look Absolutely Awesome! They just look really good, and together with the rest of your suite just looks Amazing! Really great job man, rly great!! Can't wait to see it all together ^_^

[@Kasperanzaa]

Thank you, I love your comment!!

[@BatpiaEmeritus]

Nice, I also used her digi pattern slightly altered. A tip I use for when shaving fur is, I have a big box fan next to me facing backwards with a one of those big Filtrete air cleaning filters taped to the back of it. That helps with some of the fur floating around. It was smart to grab a face mask when shaving. I don't see a lot of other makers mentioning PPE in tutorials.

[@Kasperanzaa]

@@BatpiaEmeritus That’s a very good tip! I’m going to do that in the future for sure. What made you alter the pattern? What aspect were you improving? Thank you for your comment :3

[@BatpiaEmeritus]

@@Kasperanzaa I'm a stickler for symmetry😅 and noticed the bottom panel is off by a little. My shoe size was a lil larger than the bottom panel's measurement so I needed to make it longer vertically. I didn't change anything else in the pattern. You're welcome! I'm hoping it helps you. I also did my claws the same way, but I cut claw shapes out of solid minky fabric and then trimmed down foam to insert into the fabric shell before gluing the claws onto the toes.

[@RCWoodworks]

I am holding off on a project like this but after I have watched your series so far you have made it look possible

[@Kasperanzaa]

Lol of course it's possible, go for it!

[@ChasingSensei]

adorable paws :3

[@Tarudaku]

😦THE FEETZIES also Neffertity is one of my favorite fursuiters/makers :D

[@Kasperanzaa]

Yeah, Neferrtity is extremely talented and helpful!

[@jasmijnstok4275]

Tbf, I have been watching a few of ur fursuit videos, cuz yes I like having em in the background, u keep on saying like the lining isn't okay or the nails are kinda funky. But to be fair, u are allowed to be gosh darn proud of urself. U make something out of nothing with little experience and even better is looks hella good! Be a little more proud of urself cuz it looks really dope♥

[@Kasperanzaa]

@@jasmijnstok4275 Thank you, you’re right I shouldn’t be so critical. I appreciate the sweet comment

[@Themothseeker]

Yayyyy I’ve been so excited for the next vid they look so good!!!❤

[@Kasperanzaa]

[@tailsawsome17]

adorable pawbs

[@grandmaster_subzero2.0]

For your 1st fursuit this is turning out pretty good so far, can't wait to see when it's finished

[@nmgarthouse1013]

Bro I love it! Hopefully you’ll keep making more!

[@Kasperanzaa]

Thanks! And I will for sure!

[@Anim8Dragon]

Yooo that turned out SO COOL!! I want to make my feet paws soon but I've been procrastinating lol Keep up the awesome work! :D

[@Kasperanzaa]

Thank you :3

[@skywerefloof5773]

Adorable

[@Old.acc.lol12]

I can't help but comment more, You did so good!!! It looks like you've done this for years!!! >.

[@Kasperanzaa]

Thank you!!! But remember, I'm standing on the shoulders of giants. I watched a lot of tutorials, followed the cutout instructions of other makers, and referenced a lot of fursuits. A lot of the work was already done for me. Also, I've been an artist for years, not a very good artist just to make that clear, but still, the skills I've acquired translated pretty well to fursuit making.

[@ZaneWulf]

You're doing 10x better than what I'd do for real! Great job so far! You have great (human) legs btw 👉👈❤️

[@Kasperanzaa]

Lol thank you!

[@riley5541]

Omg the hype seeing you make these… this looks awesome man! Also your croc opinion is real af… yea they’re ugly as sin but they worked great here! Your videos are so raw and I’m here for it

[@Kasperanzaa]

Thanks! I love that you're here for it

[@othrwrldlysystm]

i'm using that pattern too!! :0 and for reference, i believe it's pronounced "neff-er-teetee"

[@murritzy8522]

okay youre actually doing so good?? im making my first fursuit next month for my bday!! hope it comes out as good as urs is , what inch foam did u use for ur head and such?:0

[@Kasperanzaa]

Ahaha thanks! I used a variety of inch foam depending on what I was working on. For the bucket head portion I used one inch foam. For building the rest of the face I used two inch foam. For the foot paws I had to use 3 inch foam. You might want to watch multiple tutorials and pay careful attention to when the maker switches between different inches of foam.

[@SparkysDreamZ]

ur handsome and i totally agree with crocs being the ugliest thing ever, i put slippers in mine though x3 (lol the ending was perfect)

[@Kasperanzaa]

Thanks! :3 Slippers actually sounds like a good choice

[@ItsJerryJo]

Amen 1:08

[@Kasperanzaa]

They are really great shoes for fursuit feet though! Very comfortable to wear, put on and take off.

[@ItsJerryJo]

@@Kasperanzaa Also, if you need some more practice with the sewing machine, I found it fun/useful to make a fursuit bandana because they are really easy. It's great practice 😺

1:08 everyone in NZ is gonna be at your throat for saying that 😭😭

Yesss I saw it he first two now the toe paw beans btw some words you need to know is paw beans lol idk btw I wanna see you make a tail lol I love this fursuit

@@Kasperanzaa lol idk but yay you better make a video about it

[@Swaaaat1]

An Objectivist furry. Love you, subscribed. Follow, haven't watched ANY of your videos but I will in the future. Love u. Good Luck in your projects.

[@Kasperanzaa]

Love that you know Objectivism! Thanks for subbing, but you might be a little disappointed. I can't let go of astrology despite how irrational it may be, and I don't consider myself an Objectivist anymore. I think there's more philosophical work that needs to be done, especially because Objectivism is a closed and limited system. There's so many questions I still have that Objectivism pretends doesn't exist or simply ignores. But regardless, I love Ayn Rand as an author, and what she stood for as a thinker! She gave individualism and individualists a real voice.

[@Octuly]

Ay we bought the same pattern lol and the same electric knife lol.

[@RatClawStudios]

The way you said neffs name I died laughing (no hate but it’s not pronounced that way 😭)

[@Kasperanzaa]

Lol how do you pronounce it? That makes sense cuz I did feel a little weird saying

[@RatClawStudios]

If you just say like tt out loud after the first part it sounds right, lol that’s the only way Ik how to explain it but I do know it’s the name of a Egyptian queen or something

[@Kasperanzaa]

@@RatClawStudios Oh, it's probably like nefertaytay but said faster or somethin like that

[@RatClawStudios]

Yeah something like that lol

​@@KasperanzaaMore like pronounced (Neffur-tee-tee) ❤️ I've watched her tutorials a lot.

U said her name wrong 0-0

[@muppetism]

Lmao neffertitty

[@OskarKocour]

Buying this must be worse than the Sims 4 dlc

[@erebosthemogoreg]

I have no clue about the games, but... Patterns serve as guidelines to create something. And these patterns had to be made by someone else so it's supporting someone else who made the pattern by doing so. (Please, Nefertiti is a really cool cosplay maker even if they're fursuits, they're very inspiring works that can take months upon months of work.) I just feel like this comment is almost intended to take a shit on someone's work they clearly put dedicated time and money into creating something. Say the same thing on a cosplay or larp channel and it's still just as incredibly rude.

[@OskarKocour]

@@erebosthemogoreg No i meant that foam and other shit is expensive as shit

[@erebosthemogoreg]

@@OskarKocour Ah well, apologies for my assumption then... Those materials are actually used in furniture making and the higher quality you go for, the more expensive it's going to be. Anything art and crafting is going to be expensive. But doing it yourself than paying someone else to make it for you is FAR cheaper than commissioning another. In the long run, this is also how you can learn to become a maker for the future and begin to start selling. I've myself had sold hand paws for $60-$150, feet paws for $80-$250, tails from $55-$300, arm sleeves for $20-$40, torso for $60-$300, legs for $60-$400, heads for $200-$600 and wings for -$30-$200 and so on... The prices are more than what the materials cost themselves but that's because of the hard work that went into it. And people always BUY them in my personal experience as nothing lasts long in shop 😅. I have to stay busy with it. So as long as you have some sort of income, then the foam and other materials are truly worth it especially if you're selling them. Or you are just doing it for a once in for your own personal thing.
