Step 9Try it on!
Colored contacts
Kryolan aqua make up buy at sillyfarm.com
You are pretty much done. Get some colored contacts to look less human and really freak people out! I blended my face into the black of the mask with some kryolan make up. It mixes with water and can be applied with a finger or brush and does not rub off too easily.
Add a tail if you feel like it! I didnt document that process but just sew some fake fur, stuff it then sew it to your wolf's butt.
Try on your new suit! You may need to make some changes and adjustments...but congrats! You are now a werewolf. Stay hydrated and be very careful, this suit gets really hot. You will lose alot of water and moving will take a little more out of you. Take frequent head breaks ( take off the head and hood) in front of a fan and have someone around to help you get in and out of the suit AKA a wrangler. A wrangler can also help you spot trouble where you can't see it ( people tugging on the suit from behind or kids getting a little too aggressive), or do simple things like open doors for you when your claws can't. Most people will be really cool and want to pose for photos or pet you...but be aware of people just wanting to make trouble with an easy target. Especially drunk people! Having some back up can make the difference between having a great time out or getting your costume damaged and you possibly hurt. I have had some bad experiences being out alone with another costume and i'd hate for anyone else to have the same trouble.
But don't let all that scare you. It's going to be awesome and you will have a great time! Go scare some kids and have a great halloween!

What did you use to trim the fur? Just electric razor?
Thanks so much.
I promise my friends and i will try this..... great job!!!
i mean, could i do it in a few days, and how much money did it cost you to build, because, halloween is in a few days, and i still dont have a costume!
Most of us just draw/paint/animate/dream/talk about anthropomorphic animals. I do know for a fact that most furs would love to wear fursuits but don't have the money to buy/build them (cost ranges from $500-$10,000 depending on quality), or their families/coworkers/friends would have a hostile response towards them.
Since you're using quite a bit of long fur, you can use that to hidehorizontal vents along the back and down the pits, as well as across thethroat. The tricky bit is to decide if they're along a"load-bearing" region or not; judicious use of wire and lessfoam will help with those problem areas. Otherwise, mesh fabric willhelp keep the fur in place while moving around.
I personally see the foam hump as one of those tricky areas; it covers auseable cooling region for your body--the upper back and the adjacentneck area. Alternatives would be battery-powered fans hidden in thatregion, but that's an element of fursuiting that I won't get into here.There's plenty of other Instructables to do that. :)
do u mind if i make one and wearit to my halloween dance?'
