I'm genuinely wondering if this maker doesn't suffer from blue/green colorblindness. Still inexcusable not to update your client on a new fabric choice, but I could see someone thinking they found a "better" match, not realizing what they are missing.
@dynohusky@PetitCerf @thefogmutters This simply isn't true. Doodles arent a breed of dog they are a mix. Perhaps at this point several generations of a mix but there is 0 breed standard or consistency amongst breeders. There is not enough lineage and too much variety in the dogs for them to be considered standard
Backing up my previous words on this matter with personal experience.
Concerning the use of paint in suits. This was a costume I made in early 2022. The muzzle line and lip detailing are all blended acrylic paint.
This is a technique people have been using on suits for 10+ years? It's not the only way to achieve these results and always has been more common on resin/3d printed suits, but that doesn't invalidate the technique.
Paint seals down seams and blends them into fur.
@lunchboxfriday This would be off-putting if entire markings/large patches of paint were matted on. But it's light finishing touches that are small and carefully placed in strategic places. Even suits with 0 paint sometimes feel rough in certain areas.
@lunchboxfriday Rough, but only in a few band sized areas that typically aren't petted/dwelled on extensively. It preserves the seam from fraying to some degree, and it's smoothed back in a consistent direction so that "roughness" Is uniform. It isn't bad but it may not be everyone's preference.
Fursuit makers are put under the same scrutiny as mass manufactured products that STILL show wear and tear with age. Just because you can identify the components in a product doesn't mean you know what to do with them or how to do it.
Your Gucci bag- guess what? Areas with rivets are reinforced to hold strapping zippers and handles better but those too! The first places to show wear and tear and they are not indestructible.
@TheWulfer @Ember_Dino@YBLSuits "Clump" - holding itself together by the increased coverage, and I'm this case, because it's holding onto the backing of the fabric seams.
If you spilled paint, let it clump and dry- this would be an issue, but it's being strategically placed like the final seal on a car.
@TheWulfer @Ember_Dino@YBLSuits Airbrushing fades over time in part because it has issue bonding specifically to the smooth fur fibers and also because of its light almost *powdery* application. It's good for markings that need to blend into fur.
Paint can be applied thicker in areas like this and it will 1/2
