Question for the #fursuit builders out there — how would you articulate the pedipalps of a peacock spider? I explain the problem a little more in this post: https://glowingskull.tumblr.com/post/175664173748/regarding-jaws

And here's the final post of my #maratus volans head work: The pictures of the finished #spider #fursuit heads. https://irradiate.space/skulls/maratus/

This technique is relatively sane, and requires:
- woodworking tools
- copious quantities of superglue
- putting flammable objects in the oven
- fire gloves
- lots of ventilation and fume/dust control

This #crafting process for #fursuit eyes results in convex plexiglass lenses with a metallic exterior, well-suited to see through, of customizable shape and curvature.

For all you #fursuit makers out there, here's how I make shiny eyes for my spider heads: https://irradiate.space/skulls/maratus/lenses/

Skipping the fancy stuff for Halloween today; doing a very plain #Utopian costume from #TerraIgnota:

Found one, but it's doing weird stuff with rotation and scaling (and tiling the input stream!?) but that's probably (hopefully) configurable.

Found one and ordered it. Now it's a race to see if it shows up before Halloween.
I guess I should start work on the other parts of this project.

Does anyone have recommended high-DPI HDMI USB-powered screens for use in a #VR rig? I'm going to be slotting all this into a Google Cardboard knockoff, so probably 5.5-7" screens?

Oh, joy, my #StereoPi order has arrived! This will be the brains of a passthrough VR rig which should allow new types of costume heads and masks and suchlike.

Now to figure out how #Protogen heads do their eye matrixes.

@Prawnlegs random headcanon on why Sinh is blue: because they drank a lot of silver iodide. They did it on purpose. The blue-ness is a side effect of being so tainted with silver their body is impossible for any Noble to possess.
