  • I have a basic airbrush set with canned-air. I'm new to airbrushing with my fursuits and I've purchased Golden brand acrylic paints and Golden brand acrylic paint thinner for fabric airbrushing. are these the right things to use? Or should I do my airbrushing with Rit dyes instead of thinned paints?

  • @ ZooTycoon2witchdoc1 about 24 hours for me but u should use acrylic paint

  • unrealistic

  • how long does fabric paint dry for?

  • Yes he makes the head himself, on furhead makers do... and he airbrushed/spray paints it

  • that could be a good way to make spots

  • May I ask what kind of paint you used for this?

  • Oh! Rly a nice job you have done here ^^ Makes it looks a little funny

  • What sort of paint do you use?

  • do you make the head yourself?

  • you know i bet that wall behind has been sprayed by that airbrush so many times

  • I made my friend a picture of a white tiger with a violet nose and violet eyes. So i was wondering if you would agree if to make a partial for her! She had the same color pawpads too. Her toes and fingers are also violet. just think about it

  • Do u buy the actual head? LIke the fur and the plastic and teeth and put em together urself?

  • where did you get that head!?

  • @marsvin55

    She made the head herself. If you would like to try to make one of your own, you can buy upholstery foam, synthetic fur, a hot glue gun, glue sticks, and acrylic or plastic orbs for the eyes.

    I’m a complete armature and I’ve already made two wearable heads from these materials (mine come out more cartoony than photo realistic.)

  • Should you cover the eyes? I feel like the paint would cover up the blue. :o

  • Hey Beetlecat- I was wondering what brand of airbrush you like to use. I'm in the process of building my own fursuit and would like to do a considerable amount of fur trimming and airbrushing to get a finished effect. I'm just trying to get started but would love to hear the opinion of a professional fursuit builder on what airbrush brand and its inks and paints are most appropriate for this type of project. Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

  • why final fantasy music?

  • How much do airbrushes cost??

  • It's so cute and cool!

  • Hi, i have an airbrush tool in my house, i have to find something for the pressured air but - what type of paint can i use that wont clump, melt or reck fauxfur? - thank you ^_^

  • @lykenth08 I've never done this before, but most people I've seen do this use any acrylic paint.

    Lol, final fantasy X music =D

    Thanks for the help, it came out beautiful Beetle91!

  • @FlyingZamora airbrushing is a lot gentler than drybrushing so no, it doesn't get crusty or anything.

  • Mount it on your wall, like a boss.

  • and the airbrush paint doesn't get all crusty or anything?

  • i dont have an airbrush and ive seen some of ur vids before i noticed you paint the stripes by hand, i want to make a lioness would i be able to add the spots and lighter areas on her belly, chin, eyes etc by hand easily? plz reply thnx!

  • um how did u make i\t so realisic

  • Do u do commissions becaz I waz wondering if I could order a wolf mask from u?!?

  • hey i love your work. and i love the music you have

    you should try a white tiger.

    LOVE THIS ONE its sooo realistic on the last vid

  • hey i love your work. and i love the music you have

  • where did u get your air brush and compressor. also what psi do you use?

  • where did you get that white fur and airbrush / paint? it's sooo awesome! (^=^)

  • is there a way to paint without an airbrush cuz there kinda expensive X-x?

  • So wait, if you can wash off the paint when you airbrush the Muzzle, does that mean you can't wash the suit at all if it gets dirty?

  • where did you buy tour airbrush from? its very nice:)

  • I need to airbrush a rainbow onto my fursuit…so should I start from back to front (violet to red)?

  • you've just inspired me.

  • wat did u make the nose out of or did u buy it like that? and how do u atatch it to the mask? im going to b making my own fur suit for the first time and i really like the way that nose looks.

  • I was wondering...I'll be painting my own fursuit head (a snow leopard) soon , and I can't seem to find a decently priced air brushing kit. Where did you get yours from? The ones I find online are very inconsistently priced, and I can't find a good base line price.

  • What brand of paint did you use?

  • sound track is from final fantasy 10 i think

  • Cute tiger head

  • ooh, i'd be afraid to touch it and get paint all over the side of my hand. XD

    i'm oretty sure it's dry, but it's just a thought.

  • im so confused on how you make this.....im not a furry and dont plan to be but its wierd......how to you start out?like to you grap cardbord and make it round like a head or do you use something else?like how do you get or make the eyes?how to you make the teeth and get the fur?how would you put the fur on?im not so sure how you make the rest of it either....about how long does a furry suit take?

  • Why would you use spray paint ichigogirl34 XD?! Nice videos thanks for these :]!

  • well this must be way better than using spray paint....i experamented with black spray paint the more you have on the tail the crustyer it feels D: bad experament

  • wow this is seriously amazing... I never would have guessed that it started off as a plain white head! Does the paint ever cause matting problems?

  • If you wouldn't mind me asking, specifically what kind of paint are you using for this? Planning on airbrushing aswell, but not quite sure what to use. Wouldn't want to be halfway into this project and screw it up xDD. I'm not the very patient type.

  • what are the songs?

  • How long did it take you to get this good?

    You are really good at this!!!! :)

  • its REDICULOUS these cost so much. I KNOW they didnt cost that much to make. I dont care how long they fucking took to make either. A week? GOOD FOR YOU. it takes the long to knit a scarf. I dont charge that for 1000 FUCKING DOLLARS, DO I? NO.

  • @Tortchclaw LOL Make your own fursuit then??? :)

  • @Tortchclaw well have you ever bought resin? foam? do you know how much these cost? They arent cheap. plus the basic math of how long it took at lets just say min wage would put it well into the hundreds. but most figure more then min wage cause well this take more talent then flipping burgers. This isnt even factoring in things like paint, health hazards and saftey equipment if the mask is resin. Resin casting isnt exactly safe.

  • Wow this is great! Is the Color weatherproof? I mean hand-washing?

  • Oh MY GOD THAT IS AMAZING <3 <3 <3 it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you such a good artist it is shocking! keep it up!

  • How much money would it cost for no paint on it

  • I'm new to airbrushing and well fursuit making in general. Can you give me any tips or advice on Airbrushing in specific?

  • wow you are talented !

  • Now please just answer this question... is it acryllic paint you use or what?

  • @silleren She uses an airbrush

  • @doglover1neo yes I know it's an airbrush... but what kind of paint does she use for the airbrush??

  • @silleren It is most likely acrylic watered down. acrylic is the only thing that really sticks to the fur

  • please can you tell me everything I need to have to paintbrush and where to buy it?? I have searched in alot of time. but it's a little hard to find anything when I dont know what to search for... well I have found some airbrushes at amazon.com, but I can't get further than that... please please help me ;_;

  • This is fantastic! I also love how you used FFX as the music. One of my favorite tracks ; w;

  • WOW!! This is soo good, i wish i could make one of these xD

  • umm im new to fursuit making and hopefully u can help me cuz im completely lost ive asked many ppl and no one has responded, umm... where can u buy an airbrush like that and how much is the avergae price. please help me... plese

  • @Fraxture Sorry for not being them, but I think it's done because the Fur would dry up with Paint, and it gives it more of a realistic touch. And it must be easier to Blend. ^^

  • what material did you use for the teeth??

  • Is it best to airbrush with a lot of air or more weak? And I thought you had to brush more in between the fur to get an even colour?

    Do you know if there is any difference between color used and washing?

    sorry for all the questions but...

    One more!

    I am going to create a fursuit that's white.. Its quite plain, but do you think it will be good to airbrush grey/darker parts between the fur, or will it only look dirty?

    Thanks, ur a great fursuiter!

  • @stenseng 1. Depending on the fur type/ what you want your fur to look like, you should use both. That is for if you are trying to make it even, or if you're trying to add a pattern.

    2. Not sure.

    3. If you're doing an 'average' pattern (Such as Tiger stripes or Lepord spots), it wouldn't look dirty, nor would something like it. But if you are going to add light spots, it would look dirty.

  • @SpyroCynderSparx Then I think it will be best for me not to airbrush at all.. Maybe between strong markings for fade, but not otherwise.

    Thanks a lot for the reply.

  • @stenseng Welcome ^^

  • Hehe, Besaid Isle theme

  • now this makes me want a fur suit EVEN MOOOREEEEEEE

  • what type paint?

  • how do you make or where did you get the nose from?

  • OH MY GOD. THAT IS PAWNSOME.

    its like a lion from lion king... made into tiger ofcourse lol :3

  • what is your airbrush called (like,the brand name) and where did you get it?thanks:3

  • Wait you couldn't find orange fur? Then you'll have to be REALLY careful cleaning it.

  • i think the white tiger looks cute :)

  • Hi, Beetle! Where did you get your fur? Please tell me! I dont know a place where i can get fursuit fur! ;)

  • Beetle, how hard is it to create the pattern for the bodysuit?

  • nice!

  • I'm sure someone has asked this already, buy what type of paints are you using, like what base, oil, water, or something else.

  • Wow I never knew they actually airbrushed them like that! That is amazing!

    Looks gorgious!

  • Man, I might try doing this rather than messing with different colors of fur. My sona's way too complicated to try and sew everything on, if only because of her spots ^_^"

    About how much paint would you say you go through doing something like this?

  • Wow, very nice!

  • do you use a special cleaner to get off the excess paint, or is it just water? :3

  • oh and nice music to by the way

  • want fur suit don't know where to look to find one can you help would like moving mouth not skin tight and male lion and very nice with that tiger

  • Aw this makes me happy. the head is like a big fluffy stuffed animal head XD

  • ok...if this is water based paint then how in the hell r u gona wash ur head without having to repaint it...

  • You have some amazing skill Beetlecat! You should be proud of your work!

  • did you use a brush at 7:05

  • Looks like a beetlecat suit. Id love to get one done by Beetlecat the suits are amazing id do anything for one

  • What is the second song called? It was beautiful.... Like the theme song of an angelic mermaid asending into the sky....

  • what paint you using?

  • Would you need to re-do this process over after a whiles worth of wearing the fursuit?

  • that's just a simple cat hair brush you're using, right?

  • @Draconium666 - it looks like it's a slicker brush, which is what I use on my work

  • My fucking god your just so amazing... can I be your apprentice? ^^

  • I really want an airbrush set for xmas. It gives a suit a much more blended look to the fur and markings. More realistic. you know. Your SO handy with one.

    I'd probably keep making mistakes!

    were did you get it?

    anway the head looks wonderful, but with your skills Imnot at all surprised!

    Well done!

  • I kindof like it white too! I'd love to someday see a white lion suit. That was what I originally wanted to make, before I changed my mind and started working on the YETTEH!

    Wow this looks so great, looks real! Amazing.

  • Beetle NEVER responds to comments unless they're business related, and even then she rarely answers... Trust me, I know. But goodnesss I wonder how much this cost. Moving jaw rig and all... I would guess about $800-$1000?? What do you think.

  • I don't respond to price questions, questions that have already been answered, or questions that can be figured out on the first page of a Google search.

  • @Beetle91  can i ask how you make the eyes?

  • @FoxloidShiroko Less then 80$ these can be made. Its the tallent that costs.

  • what type of paint do you use

  • Hi Runwiththepack, reading back through Beetle's comments, looks like she uses Createx airbrush paint...

  • Me and my friend are going to get supplies to make fursuits together next week- since we both have TERRIBLE attention spans, we thought it would be easier to work together, I'm going to be a nekomata- and I'm not sure who's she's going to be...

  • This is the Final Fantasy song when they're making they're way to the Lightning Temple! Right after they leave Luca! This was the best game i have ever played btw..........

  • Hi,

    How much money is it to commission you to make a head? I have a budget and that is 250.00 USD..

    Thanks,

    Sydney

  • about ohw much is an airbrush set?.im making my first furry costume and i want to airbrush it so i can blend colors.. ill be using black and neon blue pain it i use an airbrush

  • GREAT job Beetle the paint is commin' along swimmingly! Out of curiosity, what is the song in this video called? If you tell me you created it aswell I undoubtedly propose to you! LMFAOOOO <333

  • The song is from Final Fantasy X. I don't remeber off-hand what it's called exactly.

  • @Beetle91 Besaid Island is the name :) and WONDERFUL PAINTING JOB :D -bows to you- i wish i had an airbrush...

  • the song is off FFX when tidus is on besaid island for the first time. but the name im not sure about.

  • can u buy fursuits?

  • Yeah but its like $500 for a whole set but i recommend making it, its cheaper but it take a lot of work

  • i wouldnt recommend making them, alot of work and and pain, i have soo manny injuries inflicted by making a base, i almost got 3rd degree burns from my hot glue gun, i'd save the money and buy it

  • wow you baby i never even made a fursuit but i got burned by a hot glue gun before and its no where near 3rd degree burns it goes away over night gust try not to cut yourself with the exactoknife then you have a problem

  • OOh, this is really helpful!

    I need to airbrush for my first fursuit, and was a little daunted by this, hehe!

    Thanks for the help n_n

  • uuummm i feel kinda stupid for asking this, but do most fursuiters use real animal fur for their fursuits, or is it fo-fur?

  • Real hair is useful (using horse hair for a wefted costume mane or costume tail for example) but no one uses real fur because it just does not wear well or look as good as fake fur.

  • This is such a beautiful mask! Just wondering, what kind of paint are you using?

  • Createx airbrush paint

  • Does this affect the quality of the fur as it dries? And can you wash the fur afterwards after use, without the color coming out?

  • Quality of the fur? The fur doesn't change, but the paint will make it less soft. With little paint it doesn't make an obvious difference but with lots of paint it will feel noticeably coarser.

    After it's properly cured, you can wash it with little change. But the more you wash it (especially if you scrub it with harsh soaps) then the more faded it will become.

  • $50. quickly. yes. yes. soap and water.

    Research methods and materials as they vary greatly. Mine are just one way to do things and I do every mask differently. The fursuit Livejournal is a good place to start.

  • I have some questions, I'm beginning my suiting hobby and I need some tips form the pros, How much did you pay for an airbrush like that, how fast does the paint dry, and do you need a certain amount of skill to use it to achieve proper effect? How durable is the mask, can it take falls and frequent use? And towards the end of the video what was on the towel, if anything, that you were using?

  • About 35 - 45 psi

  • How much pressure are you using to paint this?

    Thanks for your time~

  • yay for besaid island and tiger heads.... you can totally tell i'm a geek right?

  • Hey beetle?Do u do kids suits?The one i have in mind is mostly white.How much would that cost?i looked at ur web.

  • This is a very cool video. :]

    Makes me jealous. xD

    I tried making a suit once... Bad mistake. xD

  • Nice work! how much does one of those air bruses cost?

  • What kind of brush did you use?

    Could I just use any regular old hairbrush?

  • I used a slicker brush you can buy at a pet store. A hairbrush is not good enough as you need something that gets right into the fur and stops the fur from lumping as it dries.

  • Ah, okay then. Thanks!

  • That's a beautiful tiger head!

    I've been considering commissioning a tiger fursuit. Although I've always been curious to see what one might look like in a semi realistic style in actuality. This gives me hope!

  • no tiger please!!!

  • gawd i want a fursuit (head at least) as well made as this. I just wish I had the moneeeeeyyyy! D'=

  • A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

    stands for you work!!

  • that looks very impressive

  • i love that!! It's soooo pretty!!!
