Title: For those that want to view me hairy legs...and hooves
Post by: Finnian on January 31, 2010, 08:17:17 AM
I am currently still working on the rest of the garb, but the legs have been done for more than a year, so I figured if anyone was interested, since I do get asked a bit, I'd share! Hopefully before mid-February I will have decent pics of the entire outfit to post! :)

And yes, I have "hoofy hands" too. XD

Very cool!  I suspect all the R/F'ers who get to FLRF will have no trouble spotting you apart from the crowd.  I mean that in a nie way!  Good work!

Thanks everyone ^^ I should note I didn't make the legs myself, I collaborated with an artisan on them www.magpiebones.com is the artist who physically put them together, sleeves too.

I will be green in face and fur for Flarf, so easy to spot, I sure hope so! lol

I love your legs!!!

Nice job. What did you use to make the hooves?

Nice job. What did you use to make the hooves?

I didn't make them, but they are chunky, square toed high heels, with the hells removed, then a chunk of wood under where my toes go. Then expanding foam covered in latex for the hoof itself, fur around the brim, and then suede bottoms. They elevate me about 6" or so. Thankfully I'm tiny to start with. XD

 Ah. I see.  :)

You say you'll paint your face..any plans to make a goat-tee? That's look kind of nice I think.

I have really weird natural facial hair, it grows only in two little patches on each side of my chin, like Dr. Strange and Dr. Orpheus. Or Ras ah ghul from Batman..or something. Lol. I was thinking of doing a weird theatrical face paint job though, since i'm doing airbrushing with alcohol based paint (aka it lasts under soap and water), and might just do the swirls up my chin, forking it, instead of emphasizing my hair. Most of my face will be jade and olive, like the legs, with the dark swirls coming out of the darker areas onto the lighter areas.

Amazing! Absolutely LOVE it! Spectacular job.  Very well done.
Your feet must kill you though after walking around on your toes for a few hours?

Totally brilliant!
