fursuit-panel: build a fursuit-head live
Tioh:
Furvan and I did several Sigs about fursuit-building in general, head-making with plastic-mesh and animatronics. I got lots of positive feedback from these events, but also some suggestions for improvements.
Several people asked last time if I could build a fursuit-head live (with plastic-mesh) – so they can see how I really work – finished examples, pictures and vocal explanations don't work for everyone.
I made one fursuit-head before at a convention, and it won't take to much time if I prepare some materials (about 2 hours to build the basic shape with eyes, movable eyelids, nose and maybe teeth).
Just missing the fur - something like this one:
So, I'm asking:
* Who would be interested in such event? (How much space will be needed)
* What should happen with the head? (Who should get it? / How to decide for whom to build?)
* What species should I build?
I'm not good at building fursuit-heads that can fit more than one head. Explaining and adjusting something on myself doesn't work fast – so the fursuit-head has to be for someone else – and that one has to be at the panel. Materials are ca. 60 euro.
Edit: renamed the topic, it's no longer just an idea.

Just an idea, put it into the Auction on Friday and have the SIG on Saturday?
Tioh:
That whould mean I can't prepare much, because I won't know the species before the auction.
Runo:
Just do a poll here beforehand, perhaps in "General", and ask whether the most want a canine, a feline, whatever, prepare that beforehand and still auction it off. Remember how well Lance’ heads went? They came to ef ready, too...
Would be a really cool charity object! :)

Lokosicek:
Loko thinks this panel would be a great idea. Its always good to actaully see how it is done, have the chance to talk to the maker alive and exchange knowledge and experience. So if you intend to really make this panel, Loko would be the first one at the door to the SIG-room. Wuffs!
