#mfn cosplay

Does anyone here know anything about making fursuits/mascot head? I'm planning for a cosplay of Liliana from My Friendly Neighborhood ( I've attached a photo of her below) and making her head to wear like a mascot/fursuit head but I've never done something like this before so any advice is appreciated. A few of my questions are:

1) What are the best types of material (foam, fabric ((that still gives the illusion of felt or fleece)), mesh, etc) to use so I don't overheat? I live in Australia and the con is in our spring.

2) is there anyway to give the eyes the illusion of pingpong balls that stick out of the head?

3) Where would be the best places to provide air circulation?

4) how would I make the neck?

5) would it be possible for me to make the mouth open and close without making it looking too weird?

6) what is the best way to make her hair?

I may have more soon. Thank you all kindly in advance!

It took me forever but I finally finished the mask and got the costume all put together.

I haven’t made a mask since middle school and glued the velvet to the clay with fabric glue, which worked. However, it did leave some strange marks and spots behind, next time I’ll see how else I can put fabric on a mask without doing that.

I painted a plastic bat and put googly eyes on it because I could see that being something in mfn. You can’t really see it because of the necktie but I even took the time to remove the shirt’s original buttons to replace them with multicolored star, heart, and flower buttons along with some normal buttons of different colors.

I’ve been very, veeery busy with work as of late but I’m glad I finished this for halloween! After celebrating my fave holiday I should be able to get back to work on the tshirt design. ☺️

Recently I had a thought.

I love the Minecraft Warden, my overhated baby. And I love Wally, my most likely traumatized baby. And so, by all known laws of my brain, they are now required to fuse like gems from Steven Universe.

Ok so hear me out rq. Welcome Home used to be a normal kid's show, right? Everything's probably the same as the start of the OG timeline, really. The puppets also interact with the Playfellow Workshop employees MFN-style, as in: nobody fucking cares about the fact their sentient there and it's treated like it's completely normal.

But then, an accident happened in 1974. Pretty vague about what actually happened, because nobody ever documented it (or rather, the documentation never left the workshop, so nobody knew about it), but the only apparent thing is that there was death involved. A LOT of death. Like, almost the entire team of the Playfellow Workshop died, probably.

The immense soul power of the murdered managed to crack into the puppet world thanks to Home, who in this case is sorta headcannoned(?) to be a gateway between the two worlds. They fused with the void (the thing many people call "So Below") under it, creating a hivemind of sorts, y'know, like sculk from Minecraft, and immediately grew all over Home. it also ripped the fabric of the universe causing the world of minecraft to merge with the neighborhood but pretend not to know that so that you can act surprised later-

The sculk only has one goal: protect Home so that nothing can pass through into the muppets x minecraft crossover world, because we all know that if the millionaires find out about a dimension that stretches into infinity and where you can literally duplicate resources, they're gonna colonize the everloving disc 5 fuck-ment out of it, and that's obviously bad.

But Home wasn't a good enough host. It needed a more mobile catalyst to ensure the world's safety. And since Wally was sticking to Home like slime to my mother's beloved silver blanket thanks to his empathy for it, the sculk "decided" to infect him, unintentionally breaking the structure of his eyes and permanently blinding him in the process.

Wally, however, was not worried about this. With his naive nature, he simply saw the sculk as a new neighbor, albeit a bit peculiar one. This made him very cooperative, which, I gotta agree, was a great "choice" for the sculk in the end, as he, too, wanted to protect Home after what happened.

Through time, the sculk managed to crack through Home into the human world workshop, setting up something in the sort of shriekers to alert it of oncoming danger to Home. But it had no interest in leaving the vicinity of the building, of course, so it still stays inside, the people outside being completely unaware of what's going on in the workshop and simply taking it as abandoned and occasionally making creepypastas about it on the internet. Some stupid teenagers sometimes go inside thanks to a dare and obviously end up dying, which kinds sucks, but hey, they sorta deserve it.

You see what I'm getting at? Insanely OP creature, protecting a maybe-portal with the help of the tortured souls of the dead??

Reference picture that I'll probably remake + some fun facties:

(If a single person "exploits" the fact most of his clothes are torn off him on despite the fact he's a literal semi-corpse puppet that is only strung together by the power of the undead and gets constantly sunk in and out of a state of disassemblence I will gulp down a comically large canister of gasoline in one go on a tiktok stream while my friend makes dangitgrandpa cosplay poses in the background every time someone gives me a rose)

I will 100% make the rest of the neighbors other Minecraft mobs btw if you couldn't tell

Also I’ve finished my redo of the main mfn tshirt design but since Halloween is coming up I’m… also trying to make a mask. I’m just happy I’ve had the time to work on this and properly take care of myself because I while ago I did not have the energy to make this type of stuff! Let alone post it.
