    A little note I wanted to add about sharpies !! Certain colours will bleed through while others will be fine, so always check first :3

    exactly. When i made my first set of paws i wrote L and R so i could differ them. Well long story short the backing of the fur was way to thin and it bled through the fur easily

    another thing i would add is hot gluing your seams. I did this with my first dinomask partial, went to refurbish it, and i had to fully remake everything because all the fur was ruined from the hot glue. If anyone watching this hot glues seams, i would recommend learning hand sewing or getting a sewing machine it will save you so much time if you decide to refurb your suit. Im working on a different dinomask partial right now and its turing out way better then my first suit

    sewing is flat out a useful life skill, and opens a lot of doors in terms of being able to make and modify clothing to suit your wants and needs. And that practice with clothing/fur will loop back and help you with the other as well

    Suit head bases should be very plush and squishy, they are usually extremely light and you can completely squish it without really feeling any glue. If it’s not flexible like this, then you definitely added too much. In the end it shouldn’t make too much of a difference in the final suit. If you line it it should still be comfortable. People use solid bases from 3D printing or resin, so it shouldn’t be a big deal
