Where do fursuit makers get their fur? ~ Also warrior cats

[@monosodium-glutamate]

Warrior cats was *the* thing in my primary school (7-ish years ago). I went to see the original author and got my one of my books signed. I kinda stopped with it when I got into GCSEs, but I always wanted to see an animated series and now it's finally happening! No one asked, but thank god you told me or I never would've known. Best of Luck with the voice acting auditions!

I actually get my fur from ‘Emma bears fur addiction’! Since it’s free shipping and under $30 lol. It ships really quickly! Great quality fur! They also sell other stuff like stuffed toy patterns, resin eyes, and a few more things I think? Recommended to any Australians nearby lol :D tho there isn’t as many options of fur as some of the other ones mentioned in this video, good to get your fur from as a starter! :D

Oh! I didn't know you liked warrior cats! I just go to a fabric shop near me for furs. Thats just because I don't have to pay for shipping plus they have lots of sales! Thanks for the video though! Ill deafanitly use it if I ever need to buy fur online!

[@eeehhh982]

I actually met Big Z Fabrics at Further Confusion 2020 at their booth! Great for the price per yard, highly recommend their arctic fox as it's comparable to howl deluxe fox for a lower price point! They also carry some great minky + scuba knit there as well, perfect all in one spot for fabric if you're not needing a big selection of fox or teddy furs.

man i found the most beautiful faux fur fabric from spotlight, but its in this very specific pink colour which i havent found a single match for online

[@PersoMena]

I loved Warrior Cats growing up! It's kinda fallen off my radar a bit, but my sister and I own all six books of the first arc. Also thanks for sharing your fur store websites in the description, I knew I wanted to go hunting for fursuit-quality fur for my own characters (idk if I'm a literal furry or just furry-adjacent) but didn't know where to start looking for relatively cheap fur and haven't had the time to go looking anyway.

[@griffbear39]

Thank you! I was going to go with howlz but glad you mentioned bigz. Was looking for an extra extra long fur, and the fact they do a video of the fur is a big plus.

Thank you, Skye! Your tutorials and videos like this really are super helpful! i am a newer maker, (working on second suit) and i havent purchased swatches of fur yet from Howl, but my first suits fur was utter crap from Joanns.. thin, patchy, stiff backing.. *shiver* very difficult to work with. (It was also somehow twice as much as Howl-) I love warroir cats, for sure my favorite series, along with Wings of Fire. Im very excited to learn about the animated version! -Have a wonderful day, Nika

I'm a huge fan of warrior cats but somehow didn't know about warrior cats animated! It looks so amazing!

[@SkyehighStudios]

DOESNT IT JUST?! 😭 I am literally so keen you have no idea!

[@whoahanant]

I assume your local stores are similar to Joanns here in the US. It's just that overall local store with sometimes interesting stuff but usually the fur is pretty bad. XD Also yay Warriors!

[@WishyFishiey]

In all honesty trying to look for recommendations on where to get something is pretty annoying because a lot of the times they don't tell you what video they said all of that in and it's us trying to find that video but I'm really glad you made this video so I can actually go to a legit website

Tried my first fursuit with Spotlight fur, (it was the grey foxtail) it's just not the same. It had pretty colours along it's length but once you shave it down it's just a monotone grey which isn't as durable as proper fursuit fur and was pretty expensive.

NOOICE

[@fluffacep]

In my experience, spotlight has some alright-ish furs, (one specific type of fur, it's like 1cm long so it's not ideal for most parts of a fursuit other than the face and paws) it doesn't come in a whole lot of colours but i used it on my first fursuit. From what I've seen of its colour range, I've bought it as mauve and dark grey, and I've also seen white, mint and medium grey in different spotlights. So if you like pastels and greys for your fursuit face abd paws (or you're fine with short fur in general) id reccomend it? It was like. $20-$25aud a metre i think

[@Hello_Im_Weird]

This Is great I’ll be furring my Raptor mask soon and have been wondering where to get the good stuff (god the end sounds bad)

[@Sabr3wo1f]

I work and spotlight and I don’t know where they hell they get anything. Only the good quality things are the big brands. We got in Halloween and Christmas stuff and all of it falls apart before people even buy it…

I myself buy from efutro and dutchcolour, what are not usa or uk due of horrible customs Id get. Before thst shit custom, I ordered from Etsy too as it allowed things to ship to Estonia, when most sites barely had Estonia as a choice (But Finland they did... which is NEXT TO ESTONIA xD!!)

Do i need to wear a mask/respirator when shaving fake fur and how do i clean up all small pieces of fur that are shaved off?

[@Sigma_7-t2t]

I’m no expert, but it’s advised you do wear a mask, as you don’t want to get something called ‘groomers lung’ from the mircoplastics that come from the shaved fur. It’s best to shave in a well ventilated space and don’t really let anybody or any pets in the room/area where you are. And I have no idea about the cleaning up haha. I think an obvious idea that comes to mind is hoovering/vacuuming up as much as you can. Hope this helped, but you’re better if a professional answers ^^

Hello! I'm making a faun leg project for this year's Halloween and I've no idea what I'm doing and I was hoping you would be able to answer a few questions I have. For the past few days I've been collecting research and advice from other content creators and suit makers such as yourself. I'm still looking and doing my best to understand everything before I really dig my hands into the making process of these legs. Out of my gathered research, many suggested making a DTD to help with the process as well as researching the anatomy of the faun so I can get that desired shape. Would using a DTD be beneficial? I was also curious as to what type of foam I should use. Currently, I've found in my home a roll of 1-inch foam that came from Michael's and I was curious if that sort of foam would work? For now, these are all the questions I have but any more additional guidance is greatly appreciated from you and other commenters! Thank you :)
