Originally going to be a polar bear, then an arctic fox, then an alien snow fox... I've decided to stick with calling it an "Arctic Canid" (fox/wolf)... Mainly because people called it a "Dog" alot, and the snout and jaw suggest less vulpine and more canine attributes. I named him: adventurer Jak Arktik (Lame, I know ).

This was one heck of a long and busy experience. I have to really hand it to the talented people of “Mixed Candy”, “Don’t Hug Cacti”, and the other amazing artists who make fursuits on a regular basis. I will admit, after all the hard work, I was fairly pleased with the outcome of my first attempt at this… And yes, I will do this again some day.

The teeth and tongue were sculpted from "DeLight", a white, air-dry, light-weight modeling substance.

It was supposed to have a moving/talking jaw, but that didn't work out. It hung down too low after putting on the fur/teeth/tongue, so I had to reinforce it, thus making it stationary.

I have pictures of myself attending last evening’s event as well, but I’ll post that separately.

1- These 4 Polar bears only cost me $30 for the lot. Their fur was converted into my suit. Almost a shame not to keep one.

2,3,4 – Plastic mesh head frame

5 - painting the eyes

5, 6, 9, 11, 12 – Unfinished head with foam padding and plastic eyes

7, 8, 10, 13, 14 – Finished paw hands/feet and tail

15 – Finished head

It cost me less than $75 dollars and about 25 work hours total.
