Wow amazing! What would I make the mold out of thought? And is silicone light or heavy? Soft or hard? Sorry I'm so clueless XD

There's another tutorial for the molds in my tutorials folder in my gallery.

The silicone is medium shore, so kind of squishy but not super soft. I think it's close to perfect for noses and pads. It's super cheap and easy to try it though, so nothing will replace experimenting yourself!

Oh wow thank you so much! I just checked out the tutorial :) Now I'm off to try to get the material and some clay to sculpt a mold! You're very helpful and most fursuit makers won't answer people.

No problem ^^ I try to be helpful, it's how I learned and I feel there's no reason not to.

[link] Do you have any suggestions for mine? :D It's my first time and I want to go for a cute chibish look. I had commissioned for resin follow mes but i only got two resin eyes and I know follow mes are two halves glued together. Do you know of any other way to make them look follow me? I hope you don't mind me asking questions! You're just a really great fursuit maker :D

The acrylic following eyes are just one sided. I can't say I have experience with cast resin following eyes though, but the way they do the toony eyes is they set them farther back into the face to help give the illusion of a follow effect. You may be able to use that to your advantage, and there's a ton of tutorials up on LJ's fursuit community that show how to do that. I'd explain it better if I'd done it myself, but I only know what I've read from others' tutorials.

Oh okay thank you so much. The set back thing I've seen works nicely, but I haven't seen a tut on it for resin eyes. I'll have to check around the community some more.

I set mine in about 1/2in, but they have a lot of follow effect just by themselves so I'm not sure how it would work with yours. Experiment with placement, and don't forget that the fur will add 1/2" of bulk too! Pin some shaved fur scraps on around to get an idea of how much it'll change with the fur on.
