**I could have made the legs thinner but I wanted to show the muscles and make them look the way it does. Remember this is a human in a suit. It will NOT be perfect.**

There are so many details on this suit to show off, so I have to submit two different collages! xD Keep in mind this was made for someone who is sized differently, and does not fit me perfectly!
The raptor suit was finished up this morning in the wee hours, and today she'll be shipped off to her new owner in TN to be debuted at Dragon Con 2011. So if you're going to that convention, keep an eye out for this Clever Girl. ;D
Head Features:
-Moving Jaw (Mechanics are a secret, please don't ask.)
-Fully sculpted head made of resin and rigid foam for extreme lightness. (Custom mold made)
-Tongue made of flexi foam (custom mold made)
-Teeth are attached to head mold so also made of plastic and extremely light
-Vision ports in the neck so wearer can see very well, while it being somewhat camouflaged.
-Head has 2 fans installed for optimal airflow
-Resin cast eyes handpainted (Custom mold made)
-Airbrushing over the entirety of the head.
-Mouth "flaps" for realism
-Zipper in the back for easy in and out
-Magnets on neck flap to corresponding magnets on suit to hold it down.
Body Features:
-6FT long tail with a foam core that moves in an extremely realistic manner
-Reticulated foam used for a good portion of the foam work for excellent airflow and lightness
-Various degrees of upholstery foam used for the rest
-Fingers are individually carved out and can be moved separately by your own fingers
-Toes are attached to shoes for extreme comfort
-Claws are all made out of plastic, slush cast for lightness (Custom molds made)
-Zipper down the front for easy access in and out
-Fully lined with athletic mesh
-Fully airbrushed
-4 belt loop attachment for the tail to keep it upright and steady
-Velcro and snaps used to keep feet on
All in all the suit only weight 18 lbs, which is really nice, considering what it is. The length is about 6ft, and it's about as tall, so it's a pretty impressive costume. This suit was meant to resemble the raptors in Jurassic Park 1, so no feathers.

Ooooooh I love it! Do you have any videos of this cuz I'd love to see what it looks like when its moving? :o Just amazing.
They have to be uploaded, but yes there are videos. ^^ Keep an eye out on our youtube for them!
O.O NOW GO SCARE PEOPLE WITH IT!! lol get a pickup truck and build a cage in the back....guy in suit inthe back...drive around with it LOL
i would die laughing seeing news crews going "OMG GET SOME FREAKING FOOTAGE OF THAT!
Yeah, but then they'd either turn it into a cute "human (reptilian?)-interest story or into a freak-show. LOL But, dang, that would still be tons of fun.
Please don't eat me just because I wanna pet you 'cuz you're beautiful. LOL
~hides in the bushes and does the Jurassic Park "clever girl" scene~
He was all admiration... until she ate him. I thought they were gorgeous... and holy-fuk-terrifying. >^___^<
personally...i wouldn't have used a SPAS-12 shotgun......AA12 or Automatics
Vulcan or STEN- I wanna make SURE that thing is dead if it's coming after my liver.
But a shotgun? WTF is wrong with that guy? Even one of those big-ass riot shot-guns probably wouldn't stop a Raptor who was serious about nomming ya.
Aaaand, that's about the limit of my weapon-knowledge. LOL
Aaaand, that's about the limit of my weapon-knowledge. LOL
it would with a slug shot....and seeing the shot pattern from the control room..that's what they used...the down side is rate of fire...and ammo.....the shotgun JAMMED when Grant had it, EASILY CLEAR-ABLE TOO!
Ah. Definitely too-slow a reaction-time with a creature that moves as fast that thing did. *shudders at the thought of those heavy slug hitting anything fleshy* I've seen those tested on things like watermelons and pig-carcasses. Yoiks. O___O Thank you, Mythbusters for scaring the crud outta me, knowing the riot-police might be carrying those things to any protest I might be at... O______O
Those can fucking kill you, too, if they hit you in the right place, like the throat. LOL I certainly wouldn't want to get hit by one of those, in any case. Heck, I think I'd rather be tased, though I understand that hurts like a sonofa--.
Oh, and back in the Seventies, the National Guard didn't use rubber bullets at the Kent State anti-war protest and ended up killing thirteen young folk. Considering how crazy U.S politics seems to be getting to my eye, you never know if they might go back to that sort of thing. I doubt it will, buuut... And I've faced riot police when I went to a protest just this year. It was... scary. No one actually did anything, as our intentions were entirely peaceful and the cops were actually really polite and very cool with the whole thing, but it was obvious they didn't want to be there at all, thinking they had much more crucial things to be doing than guarding a bunch of super-rich guys at some posh resort. (We were at a rally protesting some of the things the Koch brothers were funding, like the Tea Party.)

They may have them now, wouldn't they? But yeah, if you're calling in the National Guard, it's serious shit. I just hope that a peaceful protest against corporate and governmental corruption won't occasion my having to meet them.
Heh. Well, it's either that, or sign up for the revolution. *giggle* I'm not violent- I'd rather find peaceful means of expressing my views to officialdom. And the protests I go to tend to be of the peaceful, if loud, sort.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
thats so fucking awesome!!!! I love the head and all <3

........................This is BEYOND words. Just ... I'm stunned. X_X
omg. I'm going to be at Dragon*Con..... I sooooooo want pics with this. @_@
oh yaya! i'm going to Dragon*con =D I'm totally going to look out for him 0.0.
Wow this brings me back to when I saw Jurassic Park many moons ago in theaters....awesome job
Amazing. I can't wait for you to have a slot open for a head. :)
This is stunning, youve really done yourself proud here :) VERY nice shape to the head, and those eyes! ;o; gosh
I'm not gonna lie if i saw you just strutting your tail down the street i would freak the hell out and run in the opposite direction. lol
is there a counterweight or something in the tail to allow you to lean over like that?
I have to say, Ive seen a lot of fursuits and the only one that comes near is the HTTADragon with Toothless, and that is it.
One of the best fur/scale? Suits I have seen in ages. Love the raptor of choice and it just blew me away.

This is pretty rad and i like how it looks like the ones from Jurassic Park,
The only thing i gotta say that kinda erk me are the legs, they seem really bulky.
I know its to make it work with your legs, but it just seems too puffy.
But everything else works so kuddos for that!

iv never ever seen a dinosoar of any species done so well. your amazing.
Glad to see all that hard work paid off, it came out fantastic. I can't believe how fast you got this done....
BTW we didn't try.. we succeeded in fitting her in there. xD
To climb into the back of the SUV? Not long at all. xD
though if you're asking how long it took to make the suit, it took about 3 weeks.

this was actually a commission; she's already been shipped off to her new owner who is going to be taking her to dragon con. The owner isn't a furry so I doubt she'll attend any actual furcons.
Yeah all we did was lay down the seats and had Mono climb in. XD Layed down and shut the trunk. Took just as long as to put a kid in a baby seat, I suppose haha.

Congratulations
Congratulations
Best raptor suit I've seen on DA or FA. Wonderful job. She looks so shiny. <3

o-o;;; The entire head is made of plastic and rigid foam
"-Fully sculpted head made of resin and rigid foam for extreme lightness. (Custom mold made)
-Tongue made of flexi foam (custom mold made)
-Teeth are attached to head mold so also made of plastic and extremely light "
I sell head blanks for $250 plus shipping but you'd have to finish them and they don't come with tongues or eyes; those are purchased separately.

The person getting this is one lucky fursuiter!!

Awesome!! I love how the tail sways, looks just like in the movie. I'll be at D*C this year, I'll keep my eyes out for raptor hiding in the bushes haha
Wow that head is PERFECT and I love the way the tail swishes!
Ok, that is beyond awesome. Considering the balence between looks and function it is a superb acheivement.
wow, this is absolutely amazing. raptors are my favourite dinosaur ;D
but after watching the video, i was amazed at how realistic it looked and moved. the way the tail and mouth were made truly set the scene for this suit. it's outstanding.
amazing work, truly one of the most unique and well crafted suits i've seen :3 KEEP IT UP!

There are no words to describe how awesome this is. I am now imagining someone walking this thing on a leash... Didn't everyone dream of a pet Raptor as a child?
Holy cretaceous period... that's an awesome suit!
I would so get me one of those - I am not a fursuiter btw - just for scaring people

Correction, your suit and the person inside were awesome at the Con XD
That is an incredible raptor suit! I'm sure whoever commissioned you to do that is quite happy with it.
Wow! This has to be one of the best suits I've seen so far. The detail is amazing!
I've never been much for fursuits...but wow. That is nice. The face is the best part, I think.
