Fursuit Thread 2: This time its personal

[PsychoticPorcupine]

So after a delightful expirence coming out to my mother, I informed her I was furry. Long story way short, I have made her more accepting of the fandom, because she used to only believe the CSI episode.

So monday she asks me what it is I wanted for my birthday. I hadn't really given much though as to what I want vs. need. Any game that has come otu I have purchased with my money, and I have also found a lack of time for playing video games so the usual whatever video game was quickly thrown out. From expirence, I know that my parent's suck at buying my trading cards, plus mycurrent situation doesn't give me much competition besides when I could just have my mate give me the cards.

So I came up with two things I really wanted.

A new roomate, which sadly she has no control over. And a fursuit. I had recently put off my dreams of owning my own character until after I had settled down and gotten a stable income from teaching.

Well my mother sews for a living, and she offered to help me build my fursona into a character.

So now why im posting. I have found som construction photos from jax the bats website, however, these do not include a how to. I am researching how to build a fursuit out of blacava and foam(the way jax does it) because this produces a moving jaw which I really want.

I was wondering if anybody else has stumbled upon a great resource for building fursuit characters.

There's this guide, but I don't know how much it could help. I'm not much of a fursuit-building person.
