Practical Effects Puppeteer Costume I made - Wolf Quadsuit

Creampuff ignores the fact my sister is trying to debut the dire wolf quadsuit costume I just completed and keeps flopping on the ground to beg for belly rubs ^_^ This is the first wolf quadsuit I have made in nearly 10 years! I’d say he is a vast improvement over the last one, and considering a human has to fit inside I would say this is as realistic as I can make a wolf quadsuit, though I will say feet are still my weakness, and jointed arm stilts with no long fur to hide the joints X( This practical effect costume is not only home made but I made it almost entirely myself, and boyo was he was a huge amount of work X__x I did have help getting things machine sewn after I first patterned and hand sewed them, and I had help getting the arm stilt parts bought and cut, I also had someone make the servo for the eyes, and then the claws and paw pads are from DVC. Which I know he’s not perfect to a real wolf, but, I mean I can only get so close to making it perfectly real since a human does have to fit in it and be able to get it on and off lol. I know that the front limbs are just not quite right :/ again a human has to fit in this, also I am limited to puppet style arm stilts that operate via gravity and body motion as blinking eyes are the only animatronics I have ever ventured in to. Speaking of which the timed servo for the eyes was made for me by GRNdragon0 and then it took me an entire day to figure out the actual eye rigging to attach to it ^_^;;; and the blink is a bit imperfect, but this is only the second ever time I have made a thing blink, I am still learning :p About the cat: Creampuff is an indoor kitty who gets to come outside when supervised, her becoming part of the video was unplanned but I could not ask for better footage! Upon hearing my sister inside the costume she kept insisting on a belly rub (she’s one of those super rare cats that will never “bear trap“ you, she LOVES belly rubs) All of my cats are rescue cats but of them Creampuff is the only one I actually adopted on purpose lol
