I really like stuff like that. But I could never walk in them. I think it would be hard to be a bipedal hoofed creature. I've seen the heeless high heels though. I can't remember what they are called. Do you make these from that sort of shoe or do you modify regular heels?

Stilettos? Yeah they really frighten me and I'd be wearing them on rocky ground so that's a no go. I'm pretty sure the guy in the picture i linked bought 6" stilettos and sawed the heel off. My hooves are sculpted onto converse, I just hot glued fur to hide the shape of the shoe when I balance myself on the balls of my feet.

I think they're talking about something like this

Which would be a pretty good base for some faun legs

Lmao I know what you mean. I don't understand how it's possible to even walk in those

Perhaps there are some more.... tame ones. Or you could get some platforms like these or these, just something more stable and comfy to walk in (I'm assuming this is for a con or larping or something similar?) just have the walking area easily able to be covered by the 'hoof'

And post the final result, if you don't mind. I'd love to see it!
 
@Country Matters You'd have to be some kind of super human to walk around in those.

If i didn't already have premade hooves I'd build them onto wedges and hide the wedge bit with longer fur to give an illusion of a bit of a feathery fetlock like a draft horse and give me a bit of stability. But that's a project for another day. Using them for an upcoming Ren Faire.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to complete it in the single night I attempted it (I have a pathetic heat tolerance so wearing tights underneath fur is out of the question so I'm off to the store for thin knee high socks and more elastic) but here's my simple as fuck hoof shoes! If I remember right the hooves are sculpted for super sculpy, cemented onto converse toes, the bit of fur around that and the tape were already there, I added more fur to hide the tongue and laces.

I like them! And it's nice to know how to make the legs - might come in handy sooner or later for me.

And I guess I'll actually post some of my own work I guess, because I've just been sperging this entire thread lol

I'm studying costume/wardrobe shit to do as a living, because I love theatre so much I'm okay with being poor. I'm in the process of learning how to actually make wigs, but here's one I styled for a show we did a couple years ago

I counted the amount of bobby pins it took to do that after the show was done

85. 85 bobby pins.

@Country Matters http://m.imgur.com/vRIXTLo?r Here's the upper thigh pattern if you're interested in trying it out!

Holy shit. I can't imagine how frustrating that must've been styling.

Thanks for the pattern! It'll come in handy, I can tell it now

It was slightly frustrating, but a lot of fun because my shop hours were usually when a lot of people were in between classes, so people would come in and chat with me. Or I'd put on some music.

Once I have a better understanding on how to make wigs, I'll post some useful stuff here, since a lot of people seem to enjoy cosplaying and ren faire's and stuff like that. Basically one of the more useful techniques is how to apply a lace front to a regular non-lace front wig, which will allow you a better, more natural hairline. My professor is gonna help me with that, and I'll post some stuff on how to do it!
 
Well, I can't write a ton for now, but I can tell you guys how to dye your wigs, if they're synthetic hairs

First, make sure you have one that is heat-resistant. If you have human, or some other organic hair (there have been wigs made of like, goat hair and shit), this isn't necessary, honestly. Also, it can only be dyed darker, so start with a white, silver, or blonde color

Get some fabric dye. I use RIT because it's readily available, and it has a very handy color guide on its website to get the exact color you want

Get a pot that won't be used for food in the future, and put in the appropriate amount of water and RIT dye, and bring it to a simmer. Wet the wig a bit beforehand (not drenched, though), and carefully submerge. The longer you put it in, the darker and more intense the color. If ombre is your desired look, it's easy to do, actually. Just place the part you want darkest in first, and slowly submerge. It's important to test out your colors on a similar piece of synthetic hair, first, so that you don't ruin a perfectly nice wig

This is how I did it, at least. Though supposedly you have use the RIT dye in the same way you'd use regular hair dye, i.e. applying it with those brush things. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll link to it here, and when I have some time I'll check it out to see which is more effective, if you'd like me to
 
So... I do lots of art stuff, and sometimes I make jewelry. I made an Aztec choker piece tonight.
this is the first time in a long time that I've created an art piece that I truly love while sober. Recovery, yeah! :)

I recently discovered the joys of making things from paper mache. Recently I made the sword of Oderus Urungus (from GWAR) with a combination of cardboard, wood, some paper clay, and a lot of paper mache.

My pride and joy right now is my leg armor for Metalachi concerts. I adore their trumpet player, El Cucuy, so just for fun I made his armor. Those also were made from cardboard, paper clay, and a lot of paper mache, plus velcro and elastic for the straps. I'm trying to make the rest of it, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do to make parts of it wearable.

I honestly had no idea what I was doing the entire time I was working. Especially with making them wearable. I was worried that elastic, velcro, duct tape, and prayers wouldn't be enough to keep them on, but it worked! I'm really not sure how I'm going do the same for the shoulder and bra part of the costume though.
