I am currently looking for a maker but I would like leds in the eyes does anyone know a maker that can do this for me?
LEDs are not difficult to work with. There are lots of tutorials and (at a glance) kits for eyes and other things that might apply to fursuits.Rift said:I am currently looking for a maker but I would like leds in the eyes does anyone know a maker that can do this for me?

Out of curiosity, what sort of effect are you looking for?
There are also curious electronics guys like me who know nothing about making fursuits but wouldn’t mind collaborating on the light-up bits.
I would like the leds in my paws to spiral like a portal then for my eyes I really want the halo heads up displayCottontail said:LEDs are not difficult to work with. There are lots of tutorials and (at a glance) kits for eyes and other things that might apply to fursuits.

I'm having a hard time picturing this. Do you have any photo or video examples of what you have in mind?Rift said:I would like the leds in my paws to spiral like a portal then for my eyes I really want the halo heads up display
You could commission head paws tail make body suit.SnepperStepper said:I started putting LEDs into model cars (because there wasn't an actual incandescent bulb that small i could find that matched the look of the real headlights, i'm not a big LED fan) and if you get them with wires on there and some switches its pretty easy to get the hang of wiring them up.You can still get the bulk wired diodes in the usual colors from ebay in bulk for peanuts. I know there's fancy controllers out there, and modules that you can get and they have preset animations. A loooong time ago when I thought I was a border collie, I was gonna do a 3-way EL wire glow on the back of a fullsuit, Didn't ever finish that story so I never made that bodysuit. Hasn't come up much for me since then, but it is cool when LEDs get art use and not the headache-inducing retail lighting & SUV headlight nightmare they've become for me xwx
Anyways, my philosophy with fursuits is you gotta try making your own at least once to better understand what goes into it and what you're getting yourself into. that's a lot of words and opinion to say I agree with Irnub that its worthwhile to make your own and that way you can best route the LEDs. Plan ahead, let your artistic chops do their thing, and wear what you make proudly.
I'm working on my 3rd suit now, after having a lot of fitment issues with commissioned suits.
if you mean me, that kind of defeats the point. I like making fursuits, idk why everyone else seems so afraid of doing it lately.foxkits said:You could commission head paws tail make body suit.
