Vinyl, minky, and fleece are all popular options with pros and cons. Vinyl is the hardest to work with and shows seams. Minky is harder to work with than fleece, but easier than vinyl, and is very soft. Fleece is the easiest to work with, but not as soft as minky. Resin or sculpty can also be used for noses or claws, but will be solid instead of plush.

Okay, thank you, do you suggest a specific one? I think I might work with Vinyl, because I am looking for results like Pocari's nose and Rainy Chaos's paw pads+nose

Not really, it’s mostly up to personal preference. If you want vinyl I say go for it.

Does anybody know any good sources other than matrices? I like looking at as many different ways to do something before I attempt it. Thanks in advance!

There are quite a few good tutorials on YouTube, I advice checking Sparky !'s channel, she has a playlist of a few of her tutorials (Known as 'Good to know'). SkyeHighStudios also has tutorials, and so do a few other people on YouTube c:

Fave thing about the Fandom: Conventions are my favorite part! I love going out and seeing all the people I talk to online!

More about me!
My name is Adrianne, but my sonas name is Izzie! I started out playing Furcadia when I was younger and made Izzie then! She's now 10 years old! I've always dreamed of having a suit of her, but I could only afford premades. Finally I saved up enough and got her made a year and a half ago! We travel to many cons, including anime cons! You can always find my girlfriend and I at Motor City Fur Con, FurSquared, Youmacon, Anthrocon, and Mid West Fur Fest!

Does anyone know makers that will make just a bodysuit (decent prices)? I have everything else, just not the body...
I would make it myself, but I don't have the time.
