This is what I do with my wind down time. Work on a brainchild project. YEP! Finishing four masks in one month's time :D felt like I wanted to work on something of my own quickly :)
Drafted the pattern, Cut out pieces, and sewed hood together between yesterday and today. Glued pattern on and added details today! Talk about a fast project! 0.0 I even finished a few simple gloves between yesterday and today too! wtf. I'm getting swifter at this. I JUST HAD SUCH A VISION OKAY. SUCH VISION. SO FURSUIT.
ANYWAYS.
WELL. SPECS!! :D*Resin base cast with a translucent RED nose! After base was prepped. I drilled two holes in the back of the nose from the inside. There I glued in two wired up red leds! worked so well! fffffff
*Made from my Reindeer base
*Turquoise/mint green eyes! my own pattern :3
*three types of fur used. The rest is painted :3 (Hand painted No airbrush used as per always with me)
*A little throat pouch area for realism :3 That spot is made with monkeyshag from DF. 4 inch pile fur! The rest of the white is arctic fox white from fabricempire! The brown is unavailable in fabricempire's inventory as of now. ;_; but I have some left!
*Has no tongue/jawset yet. STILL need to sculpt and mold that ;n;

This guy is for me :3 I'm going to try my best to arrange as many local "meet santas" and other things! bring some children some holiday cheer :3 Getting hugs from Rudolph!
I'm going to try and make myself my first ever full suit with this. As without a full costume it wouldn't be as magical and that's really the reason I'd take it that far. I want it to be something that children won't even believe!
Check out here, I'm offering another mask/ small partial using an identical pattern as this! :D http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12042906/

thank you :3 I've had a fixation with reindeer lately. Getting into the holiday spirit early, and I just LOVE how gorgeous and fuzzy they are :3
I love how you decided to do the nose, subtle yet true to Rudolph, fantastic thinking ^_^
I did have some trouble as this was my first furred deer etc, furring around the nose while leaving the nostrils open looking nice, I got some nasty fur edge going on but I decided it was okay to add a bit of black apoxie to cover that up. and it didn't block the color/ pattern of the nose while lit :3 I was struggling with that for a while Xb
I think it turned out lovely ^^
I find a good way to hide edges with a softer material is to glue fleece on the edge with one side folded over and then ladder stitch the seam between the fur and fleece to hide that. Makes for a lovely transition to resin and is more "color customizable" than apoxie.

Well, I used to hate the red-nosed-reindeer gimmick but this is just awesome. X-D And the reindeer model is beautiful, should I ever decide to get a fursuit of my fursona it would certainly be one of yours. X-D
Baww <3 thank you! I'm growing super fond of reindeer <3 I really wanted to do something that wasn't derpy or outrageous :3
Realistic deer muzzles are probably the most difficult to get right among the more common species, it's due to the position of the eyes in RL deer I guess. In your masks they look spot on though. I think what does the trick is the "bump" which leads to the larger part of the skull, it gives the feeling of a larger forehead which looks a lot more humanlike that a RL ungulate head.
OH my god this is great. That mouth line is awesome!
I read somewhere where they said that when caribou get cold, their noses flush a bit, and that's kind of where the Rudolf story came about. Don't know if its true, but this head is awesomesauce.

lol! fff They have not ceased to make me go BAWWWDAWWWWWWWW and gush with joy at their adorable...ness
THANK YOU for posting that link, I never knew those needlefelted antlers existed. And since they're horse-sized they wouldn't be pitifully undersized on a fursuit head! Now if they'd make whitetail deer-style antlers, us fursuit builders would be set.
I couldn't believe it. I was like GOLD MINE! exactly what I need! Also Monoyasha told me she's making a set of reindeer antlers too! :D available to be cast in plastic/foam. (she's totally going to make a mask with one of my reindeer bases and I just want to explode with excitement and honor) ANYHOO.
usually I'm not a huge fan of LEDs in fursuits but this is really clever!
Thank you! :D honestly.. yeah. I never put them in my own suits. this is okay to me though lol
Goodness... this base would make a gorgeous winter Kirin...
Although I adore this mask and I am incredibly tempted. It looks like a reindeer, love the shape of the nose and ears and head... so many folks don't do ungulates right that this is a total joy to see.
Love your work. Absolutely love it.

I'm pretty sure that this is the most amazing head I've ever seen.
Okay now that is just cool, how the nose glows. Never thought I see a live action Rudolf.
Oh my god this is awesome! And even my retail-blackened, holdiays hating, soul is brimming with joy :D
Now you just need to make 8 more and have people wear them together at a con haha! (Oh god you make me want to make one with one of your bases)
Will you give him jingle bells?

of course I'll give him jingle bells! :D I need to find a nice thick collar with bells all over it. and if I can't find one I'll have to make one or have someone make one :B
Hmm I know that a lot of pet and feed stores this time of year have those jingly collar things for pets? That might work if you needed one asap :)
The glow of the nose looks almost demonic
and my friend happily piped up with
"rudolph the red nosed lord of darkness"
//dying
This is SUPERB though like wow! X3 Great job so far!

This is so awesome! It's nice to see a realistically done version of this. :D:D:D
This is just so dear/deer and clever, I really adore this concept. Amazing execution!
So awesome!
Someone back home once suggested I make a Rudolf someday for the same reasons, but I'd make for a pretty fat reindeer lol. Everyone would be all "Rudolf really let himself go!"
Can't wait to see pics of the finished piece. Fantastic work!

I can't wait to see him with antlers! You did a fantastic job, and caribou are such wonderful animals and this is just so true to species. Also really ingenious work with the red nose!
Holy shit yes a Rudolph the rednosed Reindeer that actually looks like a reindeer <3 Something that's always bothered me ever since I was, like, five :'3
This is really amazing <3 You're really awesome *basks in glory*
