hey guys i just thought of a really good idea for my phoenix partial. im using the tutorial/pics from the girl who made the crow wings and tail, and i thought, im gonna use DA's firey long pile tipped fur for the flame look, but what if i added silk (the stuff that clowns throw in the air to juggle, those neon tissue things) strips hainging from the tail and arm bases so when i swing my arm and shake my tail around those strips will blow in the wind and look like live flames. i just dunno where to get those, maybe Joann's? also, that kind of tipped fur, is it shaveable like around the eyes and when it comes out from the beak on the head? i have the purple with white tip fur if i could test that. im gonna use white wire mesh and paint the anime eyes on that so i can see through the whole thing. the arms will be shoulder length with elastic to hold them on me. now i havent thought about the feet. you know that breed of chickens that have the feathery fluff on their feet like Clydestales? i was thinking since Phoenix's dont really show their feet much in all the flames, maybe i could use that same fur and drape it over the feet, but have toes and talons protruding from the shaggy fur. id make the shoes on a slipper base i have in my workshop cabinet. they are knee high very comfy outdoor soled slippers if you will. since this is my anthroy Prince Zuko cosplay suit, the head is gonna have his anime eyes, the scar on the left eye, the black shaggy wig, and his long Fire Nation robe on, which also has a blood red undershirt/pants so thats why im making this a partial. only his wings, tail and feet will be seen coming out of the clothing, and the head will have a poofy neck. im gonna make the beak out of my celluclay, but what should i make the base out of that i will mold the clay over and let it dry on so it keeps its shape? id take away that base after.
thanks
