I like the implication that you can hit this one with a stick

Furries are trash

>>10550977

>>10551372

They have more here

>>10550979
This is pretty dang cute and unique. Not a fan of the bucktooth, but I love the idea behind this and the expression. Sort of reminds me of Viva Pinata but less terrifying looking.

Mammals and dragons are so effing common--It's nice to see something different every now and again.

>>10551372
Yeah I'm thinking based

>>10551417
Surprised birds are still niche since furries aren't based on Western cartoons so much anymore

>>10551417

Cool animals are so effing common. You never see pigs, hypos or donkeys. Probably because the furries are already bearing a resemblance to them irl.

>>10551718

hippos*. I was watching some hypno secretary videos earlier.

Realistic or kemono?

>>10550979
Thats realy cool and cute

>>10552105
whatever fits the board's theme

>>10550979
Looks like a bunch of sticky note pads inspired this design

I have a fetish of skinning a furry of their fur suit and then raping the corpse while they watch in horror. Then we put the first suit back on only because they were skinned they now look like the joker. A foxy joker. Or maybe even a horse joker. I just want to fuck the joker. And his woman Harvey Oswald

Working with fur is so difficult, mad respect to the fursuit makers who've perfected the craft. It's really too bad about Kero the Wolf and co.

>>10557586
agreed, let alone hidding seams

>>10552105
Both have their purpose, but on average I'm going to be more impressed with a really good realistic suit than a really good kemono one. It's just not possible to have to put in as much effort into a kemono suit unless you really go out of your way for out there features.

>>10551376
Is there a furry thread somewhere?

>>10559695
Both are still harder to pull off than regular fursuits tho, a lot of people trying to do kemono get it wrong thinking all it takes is a plastic domes over mesh (which fogs badly too)

>>10550977
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY8bSRw9oIE&t=40s

>>10551587
I think it's mostly because toony bird suits tend to look fucking weird and the realistic ones have abyssmal vision because of the eye placement. Most of the time birb suits only work in kemono or more realustic styles

>>10561815
this looks a bit bad...

>>10561945
not on the same level as the others posted here, but I like it

>>10561948
It’s shit.

>>10561945
>>10561952
Idk how that Raymond cos looks bad to you.

>>10561964
I can hook you up with an eye doctor just drop a throwaway

>>10561964
is this a selfpost? the weird plastic mouth is a big part of the problem.

>>10561967
>>10561982
your standards are too high. It looks perfectly fine

>>10562003
Definitely a self post

>>10561967

no, I don't remember being a popular japanese maker, also that fursuit's mouth is magnetic to swap out

>>10562009
What is actually wrong with you?

>>10562025
It still looks kinda messy ngl

>>10562020
it looks terrible, anon. who cares if it's magnetic.

>>10562479
How can you say it looks terrible? Like, whats an example of a fursuit you think isn't perfect, but also isn't terrible?

>>10562471
>>10562479
If that's messy and terrible, idk what most fursuits look to you because that's actually a neatly made one comapred to the average one the west puts out.

>>10562938
The fur on the upper part of the head and ears are unevenly shaven and the ears look like they have a patchy airbrush job. This is more of a nitpick but the color scheme is all wrong and looks noticeably worse than Raymond’s color scheme. It’s better than average, but that’s not saying much when the average is dragged down by the countless 14 year olds gluing two foot tall ears onto tiny raptor masks. The structure of the head is fine, but the maker seems to have neglected a lot of the basics of fur finishing work.

are there any girl furries?

>>10562938
Magnetic mouths are inherently ugly looking because they quite literally look “tacked on.” It reminds me of those shitty handmade felt plushes you find at cons where the eyes and other details are hot glued on, it just looks cheap and not very cohesive. Swappable emotions on a fursuit is a fun, novel idea, but it rarely looks good because you’re usually slapping a 2d piece on top of a 3d form. And because it has to be removable, it never looks like it’s part of the head. It’s almost like it just floating awkwardly in front of it. I think the closest you can get to changing parts on a suit looking ok is with magnetic eyelids and eyebrows, but even then I personally think that they also look a bit strange for similar reasons.

Tl;dr this head is ugly even when you ignore the fucked up fur

>>10564024
>the color scheme is all wrong
>what is room light
Looks perfectly fine to me on the pictures done with flash.

>>10564046
It’s not the room light, I’ve lived in yellow room lighting my whole life and it doesn’t completely change colors in the way you claim. A slight yellow tinge doesn’t turn gray fur into brown. They literally used the wrong color fur. Compare it to how light behaves on the other objects in the room.

>>10564046
The main gray fur is fine but the ear fur is still brown under flash and the inner ear fur is still a really gross color

>>10564024
>>10564033
god, how miserable is your life if you nit pick everything this much?

>>10564028

If there were then gay orgies wouldn't be such a big thing in the furry circles, and people wouldn't have to dress up for them.

>>10564028
>>10564258
There are plenty of female fursuiters. From my experience, fursuiters are nearly 50/50 men/women. Female furries are much more likely to be into the fursuiting side of things than other aspects of the community.

>>10550979
I suddenly understand why guns aren't allowed into conventions, I'd magdump this thing out of sheer panicked terror if I saw it.

>>10551372
I never got this meme, wouldn't the trans person want their dick to be removed if they are a transwoman? Why would it be a seethe wojak if that were the case, you think both would be happy.

>>10566979
generally speaking no one wants any part of their body shot off with a gun

https://twitter.com/vincent31010/status/1366198514041020416/photo/1

is it a bad idea to make a suit out of fleece instead of fur?

>>10550977
Furries aren't allowed out of /trash/ and /b/. Why is this thread still up?

>>10571305
Because furries have a habit of injecting themselves in spaces where they aren't wanted

>>10571305
thats for artwork. this is cosplay

>>10571435
You mewling retard. Where did you pull this distinction from? Show me in the rules.

>>10571802
you're right, there is actually no rule against posting furries in general as long as its not pornographic. Only /vp/ has a general no furries rule. Which is weird considering how many pokemon are anthropomophic.

>>10571871
Is that new? Or is it just to stop people from posting anthropomorphized/gjinka pokeporn of their original do not steal pokemon designs?

>>10571878
i have no clue. I rarely go to that board, but just checked the rules now.

i'm assuming there are legit furries in here, how much could one charge for a competently made suit? I know there's money in the furry community but I want to see if it's worth my time to try and expand upon my craft to match this niche.

>>10572488
Furries are insane I've seen shitty fursuits go for thousands. I wouldn't be surprised if you could sell one for a million.

>>10572488
It requires a lot of time and effort, and everyone wants one based on their fursona, so that makes it slow since you can't mass produce them like you can with generic ears/tail/paws. For a bad suit made by a beginner, probably $500 or so. But one made by a skilled maker $1500+

I could use the money. I wonder how I could advertise my stuff.

>>10572488
I just saw a half body ych sell for $600usd in a bidding war on Twitter this morning. Wasn't even NSFW.
Lots of money to be made.

>>10581085
>>10572488
Forgot to say that this was just for an artwork. Bidding started at $100 and only went for an hour

>>10572488
Your best bet is putting up something for auction and see how far it goes.

>>10564033
>the character the fursuit is emulating is from a game where the character’s mouths are just transparent images tacked on to the face

>>10581345
your fursuit looks like shit, get over it. it's been a fucking month.

Fleece is really nice for heads and can be really good for hairless characters. Fleece full suits are hard to come by but I believe this Ridley full suit was made entirely with fleece

This is like throwing stones from a glass house. Remember what board you are on when you posted this lmao

>>10550977

>>10585432

>>10585432
It happened to >>10563514 also

>>10585432
>>10585514
these are really generic.

>>10572488
Depends on how skilled you are and the audience you build. New makers tend to have to break even to get their name out there (a finished head being around $550); but after that a partial well made suit can be upwards of $3k+

>>10591253
>partial well made suit can be upwards of $3k+
Fuck off. If you're paying more than $1.5k for a partial or $2k for a full suit, barring you having a design that has a shit ton of colours or other special features, you're paying for the name, not the suit.
There's a goldilocks zone of "Knows their shit, but doesn't have an ego about it" with makers that can be a bitch to track down people in.

Do the furries not have their own board? Why are you here?

>>10591351
this is a cosplay board, we post cosplays here. Are you new?

Furry is not cosplay. It's original character costumes. Does not belong here.

>>10591416
new to cosplay too, huh?

Tell that to the lolita threads, which last I saw seemingly made up half to 2/3rds of /cgl/ at any given time.

>>10591426
what do you think the “l” in “cgl” stands for, you fucking idiot?
it’s not cglf

>>10591431
So the assertion that the board can't have "original character costumes." is made null, given that's practically what lolita is.

>>10591443
The board is for cosplay AND lolita. Furries are neither of those things

>>10591446
"Costume play" of a defined character is 100% within the definition of a fursuit, it just specifies that it is a costume of a anthropormorphic animal character. Whether it's from a corporate IP or a character made by the person wearing the costume is irrelevant.

>>10591451
this. Its still dressing up as a character, even if its an original character. Its not like a halloween costume where someone dressing up as a carrot or sexy nurse.

>>10591345
You seem to forget that people still want to make a living wage, and the comples cuts and airbrush of some fursuits alone can take many weeks, and depending on the country quality fur is expensive af (see Japan with like 80€ per yard).

>>10591580
nta but no, it really doesn't.

>>10583230
This is cute.
>>10584995
It's cosplay/kigu, I don't see any issue with it.

>>10591580
So fuck everyone who isn't in the low upper class and above "Have so much money I can burn multiple $1000's on $1000's for something that gets maybe a little less than 24hours of total use" income bracket, right? And don't give me the "Luxury good" bullshit, I'm not advocating actually genuinely 'affordable' fursuits (Hard, well under $1000 for a decent fullsuit) as it is genuinely a lot of work, and material to a certain degree, to make a fursuit.
But there's a world of difference between, say a gaming PC that you can use for a shit ton of other things that aren't strictly just gaming and you can get a lot of actual utility from because it's still a computer, and a costume that you get a few hours of use at a time from, typically at conventions or parties that only happen once in a blue moon. Unless we're the type to travel all over a given country or all over the world to use a costume constantly, in which case clearly money was no object for you to begin with. And on top of THAT, ignoring any current pandemic bullshit, guess how much a reasonably balanced high end gaming PC is? ~$1.5k-$2k.

Any rebuttal with "But living wage", I'm sorry to say but the range for reasonable price for what you're getting, and what you seem to deem in the range of "livable wage", simply do not line up. Like most art/craft based cottage industries, the massive influx of producers vs. the numbers of buyers that are capable of and willing to spend the money just doesn't line up. You don't see this because if you only look at the 'popular' makers where the 'tards are always wanting to buy from, you're going to see nothing but constant demand. For the rest of the market however, it's far closer to "I wish I could commission one, but they're so expensive." unless we're talking to someone where money is little object, or has shit handling of personal finances.

>>10591597
>sSo fuck everyone who isn't in the low upper class and above
fursuits are a privilige, not required for you to exists. if it's so easy to make as you say, just make it yourself.

>>10591597
imagine being this much butthurt over fursuit pricing, also it's not like if there weren't 1000 tutorials out there on how to make them yourself

>>10591597
I mean the same goes for latex crafting. Catsuits from retailers and designers cost anywhere from 300-700 USD for a standard catsuit. Latex by the roll costs 9 bucks a meter which for my size if patterned correctly would come out to like 2m for a catsuit. Instead of complaining I'm just making it myself rather than paying a designer. Same shit goes for fursuits. Anyone can budget 1k and learn to make it themselves. Fursuit makers value their time and skill and with years of experience comes a higher price.

TLDR If you don't like fursuit prices from makers just do it yourself

>>10591588
You sound like someone who has never made a quality fursuit and doesn't know shit, try sewing on hundreds of highly detailed markings in multiple colors that need to fit into the main body seamless and we can talk again

>>10591604
This looks like absolute shit.

>>10591609
OMG nayrt but that’s obviously the back side lmao. You just proved you’ve never made a costume in your life.. embarrassing

furry drumu PogU is there any furry fight club (furry fight cub heh) on youtube? it can be like pokemon battles where you go to settle your furry differences.

>>10591614
no i mean the worksmanship, the seams on that are puckered and uneven as fuck and this kind of material needs to be finished, see how badly it's fraying?

>>10591617
Bro, if that's what you think is good sewing, you deserve your low quality suits.

>>10591604
Please don't selfpost if all you can muster is this garbage.

You know if you hate fursuits so much why post on this thread? It only keeps it here longer and you don't get a 4chan medal of excellence being here

>>10591601
>>10591602
This isn't for me, I'm more than well capable of making my own shit, even if by my own admission my output won't ever be AS good as someone dedicated to it, as material and tools costs just don't add up doing it once or twice. It's for the larger group that would love to get one but because of the bullshit that is the "Work 70% of your existence away to live or fuck you" that is expected of 1st world countries, that the time and resource commitment to doing shit yourself is not practical (One time use tools add up fast!), and the amount of money made working said life away just doesn't add up to be able to afford both living and being able to have a semi-wide array of hobbies such that allows to not be unhealthily obsessed with practically only one thing.
I'm lucky, I'm not in a position right now where my own existence fucking sucks that hard. But many of my friends are, and I had been there for a while. Life was a minor hell of not being able to do anything because the finances just don't add up.
I get angry because the goalpost is ever moving. And tomorrow, after some s.o.b. saved for years to get the one thing he wanted so bad but couldn't realistically get otherwise without saving here and there, with the expectation the price would be in X range, suddenly it's "Lol nope, now the expectation is 2X-3X more expensive now to get even the most basic of basic bitch version of what you want, so keep saving forever you fucking wagie."

>>10591618
omg lmao anon you literally don’t know what you’re talking about. Sewing fur in a circle will cause puckers, they won’t be visible on the right side. And faux fur doesn’t “fray” but I’m guessing you mean the loose fur around the edges... which will be invisible as well as finished once the piece is sewn to another and flipped????

>>10591627
If you can make your own shit then do it and don't make it other peoples problems. Nobody likes working 70% of their life away but guess what that's 1st world countries. You sound like you are going through a crisis that most people have when they are 15.

Invest in stock market or change your priorities. Saving 4g's is doable if you stop buying fast food, cosplay and porn.

And before you say you or your friend's don't have money for stocks remember that people turned 4$ into 300 on GME. There's plenty of stocks out there that give good gains.

>has never seen a henson stitch their whole life
how are you even on this board

>>10591597
There are hundreds of fursuit sellers all selling at a large range of price ranges. I don't understand the ranting.

>>10591618
Its fur, it doesn't matter. The one advantage of fur compared to other fabric is it hides imperfections very well.

>>10584839
I'm sorry you're dealing with that but why are you spreading that hellscape

>>10591620
Idk, looks perfectly fine to me. As long as it's lined I can't imagine it being a problem. The stitches are decently tight and, heck, it's fur. It really doesn't matter as long as it's durable because you are never going to see the stitching anyway.

>>10591597
I mean, at the end of the day, the prices will be what the market supports. If you are unhappy with those prices, you can always make them yourself at the price point you want to see. Or just to make it for yourself.

>>10591620
seems like you don't know how to sew, this is perfectly fine quality for markings as that's the seam tolerance of a henson stitch showing, you don't see that anymore once fur has been lined

I'm curious to hear what the threads general consensus is on western style, I rarely ever see people post them. I dunno I like em personally

>>10595912
What western style, there is so many different types that it's really hard to put that under one umbrella.

>>10595912
I like the realistic western style but not that faggy fetish style (
>>10581903
>>10580663

Does anyone have anymore suits that have curly fur like this sheep one?

>>10596256
And I mean good ones, which are unfortunately rare

>>10596256
Nice
>>10596257
Not nice

>>10595988
I dunno I think these ones are fine it really depends on the design
>>10581903
I think this is nice
>>10580663
but this is creepy/gross, and this is obv a fetish suit

>>10561945
it's accurate to the character, and that considered it looks great

>>10580663
I recognize that parking lot
I'm only 60% sure but I just froze a little

>>10584836
my concern about fleece vs fur on a body suit is if fleece would wear out a lot faster and need replacing more often since it doesn't have an outer buffer like fur fibers im not sure if that's a thing or not

>>10597815

>>10580663
100% chance there's a man in that suit.

This is amazing.

Got redirected from the stupid questions thread to ask here, but I'm attempting to make a Lucario fursuit based on the style of the Official Mascot from the Pokemon Centers. And I'm attempting to stay as close to the design pictured here as possible. My question is what fabric is being used here? And if you have an answer thanks in advance.

>>10626650
Minky fux fur trimmed prob

>>10626650
This is most likely shaved down fur. Minky has a very specific texture to it.

>>10602925
The big thing is that airbrushing does wear off of fleece a lot faster than it does on fur, but the fabric itself doesn’t wear out that bad as long as you’re using and anti-pill fleece. Even if you did have to replace it though, the cost of sewing a fleece bodysuit yourself practically costs pennies compared to making one out of fur. Fleece is pretty versatile for its price, just once again make sure it’s anti pill

so we're just posting pictures?
no info copypasta for op?

>>10591627
Why the fuck is your solution to features of a capitalist society that people should expect lower pay for their labor? If you break it down, most fursuiters make barely over minimum wage on each suit if even that. Making fursuits is a highly skilled process that should necessitate even higher prices, you’re just too used to buying cheap shit that was made in a sweatshop overseas by grannies and children who are basically paid in pennies. If you’re going to complain about how much the system fucks people over, direct that anger towards corporations that make medical care unreachable, or those that refuse to pay a living wage. Don’t bitch at individual artists for not undervaluing their labor because your retarded friends just have to have a neon pink fox costume. Not being able to buy expensive things sucks, but for the love of god people are dying because they can’t afford medical care and housing. Go fuck yourself.

>>10628099
You know why healthcare is so expensive? Because medicine is a highly skilled career.

So STFO

Imagine spending $100's just to get coom all over your fursuit. Furries are such stupid degenerates.

>>10627927
no copypasta needed because it's easy af to google

After watching a documentary on furries the other day I've become both more sympathetic and hateful towards you people. Unrelated but, does anyone here know how to rip models from Source engine games? Some furries tend to have unexpected skill sets.

>>10608682

>>10632757

Imagine a movie where a poorfag hunts and "skins" other furfags in order to sew a suit for himself.

are cat girls consider furries too? if not where would you draw the line. cat ears, cat tail (8utt plug?), cat paws, cat socks with paws on them? in my opinion I think we should start considering them furries as well to help our fellow furrawrries a cheaper alternative to enter the hobby. we can call them furitas and they can be the furry equivalent of itas. give me a meow if you like this idea and a woof if you don’t

>>10626650
The head look like shaved fur, but the arms/hands look like fleece. Are my shit eyes failing me?

>>10632288
>does anyone here know how to rip models from Source engine games?
There's a blender plugin for opening the model format for those games, sure wit a little google-fu, you'll find it soon enough.
>>10632785
>are cat girls consider furries too?
No. Fuck no. Monstergirls are by and large considered shit by people strictly into furries with how much they clog up popular media in place of actual anthro animals, plus how much normies seem to conflate furries and monstergirls (and the male equivalent). Especially with anime, but live action shit has a major problem with this as well. Though that could just be a budget to do it properly being difficult if we're not multi million on the budget.
>if not where would you draw the line?
It's less a line and more a design mindset. When the character isn't "Literal human with accessories tacked on." but is "(Insert animal here), but with proportions edited so they're human-esque and bipedal.", then you get into furry/anthropomorphic.
I get this is likely a bait post, but fuck if this doesn't rustle the jimmies something fierce.

I love this video. Thanks for showing the movement of your fursuit and also your tail. I love fursuits.

>>10591597
I get it. A good fursuit is expensive. I bought one from a costume shop that was went out of business and was being liquidated. It wasn't cheap, but it was a lot less than a new custom-designed character. I had no idea of the fursuit hobby at the time. With some imagination, I could build and add to the costume.

>>10608755
This is a fantastic partial! Too bad I have to imagine the tail for it! I love the subtle details of the head!

Does anyone have a gif of a guy in a Donald Duck suit running in a stadium and attacking a team mascot?

>>10638522
I really like this fursuit.

If you live in bris Australia I will literally rape you in broad daylight if I see you in a fur suit.
I'm not a poof but even if your a bald, fat, hairy man I'm still raping you in that suit.
Its not a furry hate thing I just NEED to fuck you. This is your only warning.

If all fursuits had heads that looked this good, I don't think normies would have such a problem with furries.
I bet this is absolutely absurdly impossibly expensive.

>>10647212
Yup. Heads start at 2834 usd. Here's another suit from them. They've made some pretty recognizable stuff.

>>10647544
Bloody fucking hell. They're nice looking I won't lie, but I can't see how ANYONE, not even the "I have money to just absolutely burn" types, could justify that.
Personally, I couldn't muster more than $500 for a head, maybe $600 if it had special features that made the extra amount worth it, but what would net you an entire pretty nice deluxe fursuit for just the fucking head?!

>>10647544
>>10647580
yea.. my guess was gonna be $1000 for a nice head. Decided to look around and I guess I'm out of touch because fursuit heads are much more expensive than I realized. I thought partials were in the $1500 range, not just the head by itself. These $1500 heads don't even look that great...

>>10647591

>>10647591
Your looking at 'popfur' prices. They don't represent the actual average price for a fursuit. Which while obviously less money = less quality on average, 'popfur' prices are not at all representative of quality. Only Le namebrand of how recognizable the maker is. Which usually results in a "Muh style" situation if you have a character wit ha defined look that may not mesh 100% with that maker.
If you want more realistic prices, you have to shop around and really dig to find people. Part for the massive price hike with the popular ones is because they're popular, they get more offers for work than others do, meaning they have to filter people with the price.
I wouldn't spend much more than $1500 for a complete partial, $2000 for a fullsuit myself.

Also, I agree, those heads don't look remotely something I'd give the amount a gaming PC would be worth for.

>>10647591
Lemonbrat is notouriously bad with customers and their suits just... don't look good. I see why they charge that much (because people do buy at that price) but they just look... so ugly to me.

>>10647635
She used to be known as Limebarb and she did the same dodgy stuff with cosplay commissions.

>>10647641
Just looked Limebarb up and the third result was a beware. Not surprised that her shitty business practices carried over to Lemonbrat. I watched a video on this dude who had to wait forever for his suit (pic related) and it comes looking like shit and not even fitting.

Jegus.
Psychologically, the point of furries isn't that they're animals so much as that they're not human. They're more like an elemental or eidolon than a space alien or fantasy race.
The reason furries are all things like foxes and wolves is because uncommon animals like Glaucus Atlanticus or manuls don't have the same cultural background. A furry is like an abstract idea of cool. This is probably why they get associated so much with searing highlights and rave music- they're supposed to feel very adventurous

>>10648632
plenty of other animals and mystical creatures too. Dutch Angels are popular

>>10648625
Nah, I think it's based off of some anime character. Where's this character from? I remember seeing a video with him in it a few years back on YouTube.

>>10648672
That's Lucy Lacemaker from Sam Fennah's YouTube webseries, Satellite City.
It's likely that you saw one of his animation tests with her since they're considerably easier to stumble on and easier to sit through than the show itself

>>10563515
How do they see

>>10649129
They don't.
Even on fursuits with "open" eyes in the style of >>10649041 have basically zero visibility, which is just one more reason for people dressing up in them to only ever go out with a dedicated handler backing them up.

>>10647212
>I don't think normies would have such a problem with furries

Some stranger walks up to you with his features completely concealed. He hops from foot to foot like he has downed a can of Monster or worse, and speaks to you in an unusual manner that implies he is either not sober or completely sane.
Furries are radiating stranger danger to outsiders. A quality suit won't make things better. It will make them not worse.

>>10649869
These are neat.

>>10609117
This is awesome.

>>10649405
The "UwU, look at how cute I am, getting up in your face" shit is not all, or probably most people who fursuit though. I find that shit actively obnoxious, and this is from someone who has gone out 'in public' (Right next to, going to a convention, but still) in such a costume.
Most of the problem is between the notion that "Furry = sex thing" and a lingering "5 monkeys and a ladder" effect from the earlier days of the internet when furries were even more obnoxious than they are today in the minds of normies everywhere. Resolve both of those by way of explaining, while in suits that don't look like ass, what the actual deal is, and most rational people will usually understand.

Wow slow board and thread

Getting a dragonborn bodysuit commissioned and the maker has hit me with a hair shaped curveball - straight or braided dreads?

I legit can't decide right now, suggestions?

>>10657961
The board is slow because cosplay was in decline even before covid and Discord sucked the social life out of 4chan. I'm not a furfag but I drop by on occassion because this is the most chill thread in this heap. Anyway. Right looks better than left, though dreadlocks don't fit all styles. Do you have a sketch of the character you're going for?

>>10656731
One thing I disapprove about furries is how baggy the suits are and how big are the heads. Is there a reason the suits aren't more form fitting and well proportioned?

>>10657987
I like it personally because its further away from reality, which is kind of apart of the fun for me. Maybe others aswell but I can't speak for everyone. Form fitting suits exist with smaller heads but I think it generally has a different appeal compared to the much more cartoony features of most suits.

>>10657987
>cosplay was in decline even before covid and Discord
by what possible metric is cosplay in decline?

>>10657987
Lizard in question being cosplayed (I'm having two separate styles for the head being done, one simple headwrap pictured and one full on mask which I'm having delivered)

>>10657961
not familiar with the source material, right looks better imo. left looks like a weird flesh appendage like draenei chin tentacles

>>10658081
It's a dragonborn from dungeons+dragons, which are a bit notorious for not having a set style of hair (I've attached one art here >>10658080 )

>>10657987
>Is there a reason the suits aren't more form fitting and well proportioned?
kind of difficult to do, if you make it that tight you pop a seam moving, good quality faux fur doesn't always stretch. or sometimes stretches in only one direction.

>>10657987
Baggier with bigger heads is straight up easier to make. Stretchable faux fur exists, but it's a pain to get a hold of and only exists in asian markets last I was aware, only in short pile lengths (Long hair would make the stretching redundant) and only in a couple colours (White and a couple beige's if I remember correctly.) Which while you can die the white, the fur's expensive enough that most would be too squeamish. And that's not even getting into how it still needs to fit PERFECTLY to the wearer, which if they gain/loose weight now the suit doesn't fit properly anymore.
The closer to the human head you go, the harder it is to make a pleasing head shape that takes into account the fact that you need to see out of the bloody thing, and generally a humans absolutely huge cranium / they need to breath / can't compress things, etc. It can be done, and has been plenty, but it takes more skill than just sculpting literally whatever with a vague idea of eye placement and sticking that onto a human head.
There's other reasons to (Like how just slight body padding is kinda hard, or if you need internal rigging for massive tails or stilts or whatever, that will require padding to not stick out, which now you're bloating up the body to stay visually proportional), but those two are the main ones.

Better delete this or i'm go to find you and shot to your fuckin yiff furry face with my shotgun to death

>>10657987
>>10658033
Personally I prefer the more formfitting suits and smaller heads. It's a lot harder to make though, that's why you see less of them. For a REALLY formfitting suit with no wrinkles you have to dish out a bunch of cash for extra money, at least from what I've seen.

would it be possible to use eva foam to combine the durability of foam based fursuit heads with the compact realism of 3dprint/resin heads?
i want to try making a compact semi realistic but im just not a fan of resin heads conceptually

>>10659215
Yes, I've seen a bunch of people do it and I've also worked with EVA foam on fursuits (just for the ears though.) You're gonna need a dremel, special glue, and a heat gun though. Your best plan would be to join some cosplay discords and ask for help from people who've made stuff with EVA foam before for help. Pic related is an EVA head I took off google

Does anyone here have experience with putting together a pc?

>>10659215
Isn't it unhealthy to breathe foam, contact cement and resin for hours on end?

>>10658297
>>10658625
You know what these are good answers. I haven't worn a tight onesie before, so it didn't occur to me that you'd need extra fabric to accomodate movement.
You know how animals and characters have different colored fur below the knees and elbows? Perhaps you could make those into separate gloves and boots instead of a onesie.

>>10659397
Honestly if all fursuits were cute styles like these or the smaller heads only with fur gloves and nice outfits I wouldn't hate furries so much. Sports mascot fursuits are the devil.

>>10659372
>Isn't it unhealthy to breathe foam, contact cement and resin for hours on end
good question
i'd guess with plastic/resin bases you have to worry about dust getting into your eyes or lungs but idk about foam or set contact cement
i haven't made one yet though so im just ass puling here maybe the actual makers here know

>>10659517
dust from fresh off the press bases and if they break i mean, or like saw dust residue

>>10659517
dust from fresh off the press bases and if they break i mean, or like saw dust type residue if sanding is a thing?

>>10659215
>>10659517
just do it like everyone else and line the inside with fabric

>>10659215
There's also printing molds (usually in multiple prints) and using expanding foam to get a perfect head shape while getting the weight and squishiness/safety benefits of foam. Flashing isn't even a problem as you're going to be covering the outer surface with fur/fabric anyway.

>>10659372
EVA foam and upholstery foam, the two most common used foam for fursuits, is both perfectly safe. Upholstery foam is the stuff that couches and cushions are made of and EVA foam are those big puzzle piece mats that a lot of gyms and kid daycares use for flooring. As for resin, as long as it's fully set and you wash it after it's setting then it's perfectly fine.

>>10659399
yeah bro

>>10564028
Not only are women more likely to fursuit. Women, like with cosplay, are far more likely to be makers too bc they don't have that internalized fear most men have of sewing machines.

>>10659904
This is good to know; female furries are far less creepy than the male ones. The male ones also have a huge overlap with adult diaper wearers and adult babies too. Female furries on social media read as just wanting to be cute and fluffy and less degenerate and the men are the ones who mostly blasted the internet with furry porn making people hate them so much to begin with and produced cursed fursuits like those in >>10659716

Hopefully since digital fabrication and crafting is more and more popular we get cooler and cuter looking furries that are less cringe. I generally find furry shit offputting but have sympathy for those who are just interested in it and not using it as a way to publicly do a sex thing.

>>10659911
furries descended into degeneracy long before the internet was even widely used or even existed.
if you want to blame anyone, blame the gays.

>>10659923
desu if a family member showed me a furry pic as an old family member i'd laugh my ass off and love it; fun story to tell people

Updated to >>10657961, I decided to get both as they offered to do both for an extra $25-35. Penny change compared to the $800+ I'm already spending on this costume and probably worth it to have some extra options. It's also way better than pic related, my first home made attempt

>>10591451
This. yes. Thank you anon. I really can't believe that people are this stupid to come complain here.

>>10591580
I swear these people are either living with their parents, are kids or are retarted as hell. I'm a proffessional seamstress and if someone came to me and wanted a simple basic ass t-shirt that would costs them up to 50€. Imagine that pricing with something that takes a shit ton more effort and time to do and you need to pay rent in europe or the C.U.M area.
"hurr durr, I don't care, I want cute animal suit that looks good and is comfortable and doesn't stab me or give me a heat stroke under 100€ thank you"
Please go cry about it to your parents.
Sorry for spergin but holy shit.

>>10660251
After a (poor) attempt to DIY it yeah, I can see why the prices skyrocket so fast. Even the simplest stuff has tons of work needed if it's to look in any way decent, and that's just material cost

>>10632195
not in europe. I need to pay max 100 for six diffirend madication for three months, and if I go see a doc it's from 20-40. It's just america that doesn't seem to get the memo.

Are fursuiters and art commisioners generally rich or are they funneling their normal amounts of money towards their passions?

>>10660251
Good god, why 50€? I can buy a printed tee for 10€.

>>10660323
>I can buy a printed tee for 10€
and it was made in a sweatshop not by someone in a 1st world company who has to afford a living wage and can place an accurate value on their labor and time and materials.

>>10660332
Your customer has to afford living in a 1st world country too. Living costs are already depriving him of his Merkel dollars, so he wants to pay as cheap as possible. And your work will be compared to what else is available in the market.

>>10660449
kek your customer doesn't need a damned fursuit or the highest quality t shirt. point is you can get cheap suits but it's low quality stuff for that price so just pay more or shut up. at least with clothes they can be cheap and cute and you only need so many so if you do pay more it's better quality and will last longer if you're really looking for nice stuff. you also don't have to buy regular clothes brand new. if you're really that poor then you don't need a damned fursuit

>>10660463
I'm not a furry so I don't know about prices and if furries tend to be rich or misers outside their one interest.

>>10660323
the anon here who went to a sperg fit. Yes, it costs a shitton to work as a tailor or seamstress in developed countries. the tax is high as hell where i live, the material costs are big cus they come from who knows where and the hourly pay that one would need to have to support themselves is high.

there’s a reason all fast fashion and even luxury brands rather pay women and children cents per hour than proffessionals in their country.

here, the minimun pay for a professional would be about 10,15€/h and the work of full suit would take one to six weeks so let’s say 3 work weeks with 8 h work day (adding sundays double pay) the costs of only the work would be 1 461,60€ for that. Add to that to your fur, fleece, lining fabrics, stuffing, all custom face molds and other shit you want to that, it can easily be double of the cost of work. of course if you want a basic dog or wolf with basic coloring the cost will be much less.

>>10660623
you're comparing factory mass production to tailoring. these aren't comparable. factory made clothing has been around since the 1800s.

>>10660663
well yeah? furrsuits are tailor made. but i have worked in factory prodaction as well, and the hourly pay should still be 10,15€. but for the people in the shitholes it’s not, that’s how fast fashion is cheap. i don’t know if ya’ll know but 99% of the clothing is still made by people. there’s no jacket / jeans / shirt making machine.

Im not trying to preach, buy your 1,99 shirts all you want i don’t care. I’m just explaining how fursuits are as expencive as they are.

Why are people still arguing over prices? I just want to see the cute fursuits...

>>10660736
Still waiting for more clothes to arrive for next fit, have this in the meantime :p

>>10660781

anyone draw furry porn here? I heard you can make bank in the furry porn

>>10660792
No, I don't draw that at the best of times, let alone the degenerate stuff some curries are into. Bank or no, would neither be worth it nor would it even be high quality. Pic very related

>>10660623
That reminds me of the time a drawfag friend who was hoping to live off of his art shared some sobering info about commission rates and hours. He wanted to live off of art because he loved drawing. But as it turns out it pays less per hour than minimum wage unless you're one of the few sought after artists.

not a doctor, foam can be toxic if melting on fire, PVC when heated to bend
glue and resin should be fine after they've fully cured and outgassed
particulates from fur, foam, etc are not good to eat or breathe but probably won't kill you in normal amounts

naturally you should have a mask when doing that stuff and when using fumey things you want to be as outside as possible

Ahhh so they’re doing magnetised eyelids for you? Thats going to make it so fun to take photos! When you finally get them you should share tonnes of photos!

Yup, they actually did send me a wip of the eyelids before going on radio silence. I think those will be great for photos and I'll make sure to snap a bunch with silly expressions haha.

>>10663851
Worst case if they completely ghost you, eyelids are pretty easy to make on your own if you have hot glue and scissors. Depending on the look you want, all you’ll need is magnets and black felt

>>10665154

How do you start making fursuits? any guides?

>>10669970
the most important things to understand are how to make it curve around your crotch, pic related and ...

>>10669970
>>10670110
strong stitching!

>>10669970
>>10670111
i actually used blanket stitch on my fursuit, it's very strong despite what that image says. use strong thread too.
also, VERY IMPORTANT, make a trial run first from some scrap fabric or cheap linen, there's a french name for this, something like toille? but its not that. cant remember it. but don't fuck up your good fur, it's expensive.

>>10669970
>>10670114
oh also, see above pic, make your fursuit in a minimum of four parts (seams running vertically) as this helps you make it conform to the curvature of your body. seam down each side, one at the back and another around your tummy patch, assuming you make one.
duct tape dummies are popular for making your pattern.

Post partial fursuits that have proper head-to-body size ratio. Kemono and toony heads are cute and all but they look way better if they actually fit the wearer and don't look massive.

>>10670332
(This suit is made by the same guy.) It looks like a drawing more than a fursuit and I think that's super cool.

>>10670332
Here’s one of my fursuits that I made, I try really hard to keep my partials small. She’s getting refurbished soon for some nicer ears, nose, and shaving. I have a skin tight bodysuit for her but have no good pictures since I wore it at MFF for 5 minutes then Current Events happened.
