don't post the discord link in OP of the next thread, we've been doing it on an expiry timer to reduce randos coming in

>>9674000

>>9673779
I noticed the same problem with my lucario (it was a bit better than yours). I opened the mouth up and also opened up the ears, since they're more 3d -ish they kinda act like those vents in car garages. There's an usb fan in the nozzle, powered by a powerbank.
I've also seen heads with extra holes in the foam/base to allow more breathing through the fur fabric in cases of bad ventilation (kemono heads for example tend to have small nozzles, no room for a fan and also non-breathable eyes and mouth).

Do heads with powered fans make noise?

>>9674081
Depends on what fan you choose. Mine is quite silent, I don't notice it. But I do recommend choosing a silent fan, since you will hear it for sure since it's inside your mask.

>tfw can't decide on a design or maker

OP, we hadn’t even reached the image limit on the old thread, and you included the discord link. Let someone else make the thread next time, you done goofed

>>9673779
Get yourself some cooling vest and done, some makers also sew pockets to the back of the musclesuit (the layer where the padding is sewn on) so you can insert ice packs.

do you make your suits out of fire retardant material or no?

>>9674344
No, and why do you ask?

>>9674356
No reason

>>9674344

Are furries rich

>>9674545
People tend to spend a lot of money on their hobbies, regardless of what it is. People on /cgl/ also spend a lot of money commissioning non-furry cosplays and trying to get their dream lolita/jfash wardrobes

>>9674545
In this case, these memes are not just dreams.

Please explain.

is it just me or does op's image fit really well with the temporary theming?

>>9674545
t b h, it's really not all that bad.
USUALLY it's one time deal with suits. there are the people who do commission multiple suits, but that's really not as common.
compare that to people into jfash with large wardrobes. there's a ton of people who buy exclusively brand on here, and that can be a minimum of 400/set even. when there's so many people picking up multiple dresses a year- it adds up preeeetty fast!

>>9672433

Looks to be just a shaving problem. Shave down the dark blue areas that're supposed to be the same length as the light blue and whiter areas (the upper 5/6ths or so of the arms, all of the bits on the legs) and It'd be fine. They already did that with the face, I wonder why they didn't finish?

>>9674677
Is that a Pokémon?

>>9674768
Probably because the shaving on the face itself is already badly done, don't forget it is trainees doing that.

>>9674737
such horrible fur choice

i feel bad for the dude who paid 5k for this
if this is an example for whats to come- i'd cancel your order if any of you bought one lmao

Well somethings not quite right here.

>>9674935
It swallowed a tv.

>>9674935
Glad other people saw this too. Like it seemed to be coming along well, it would've looked fine without that weird drop crotch padding. It's hard to believe this is the same maker of pic related.

>>9674794
I feel sorry for Hinekota as he wanted to wear it on Infurnity (as mentioned, he is one of the staff which was why K-Line probably did finish it that quick), wore his red panda in disappointment instead.

ngl all of these look like generic wolf suits that got wings slapped onto them as an afterthought. Is there any way to actually pull off a nice bat suit?

>>9674967
I really love that blue eastern dragon suit

>>9674979
i mean >>9674497 looks pretty nice and >>9674500 definitely doesn't resemble a dog either. i don't really understand why you're memeing

>>9674979
These >>9674500 >>9674497 definitely don't look like wolves and these >>9674495 >>9674494 really don't, either; they're just a cartoony cute style. Some bats look pretty similar to canines in the face, but these suits don't look like generic wolves.

>>9675010
bat just wouldn't be my first guess for these suits if you took the wings off. And I think the hands being seperate colors and clearly distinct from the wings themselves is just triggering my autism.
>>9674990
Does the wings really nicely

I always loved this japanese maker Senri's bat suit.

>>9674961
Experimentation went wrong maybe. The head looks just fine. Maybe she’ll edit the suit in the future.

>>9675022
Love them.

Happy Halloween

Judy, no!

>>9675549
Is he checking her bum out?

A friend just got her bunny from Amanojaku. I am surprised that kemo bunnies are so rare, I would only know a handful on top of my head.

hi guys i know this isnt exactly fursuit, but im looking for a good seller of high quality ears thats not Kittens Play Pen. I'm struggling to find another seller that doesnt look like garbage.

thanks!!

>>9676065
Cute!

>>9676105
Have you tried Etsy?

>>9676124
i have been looking around on etsy but most of the shops ive found aren't that great. still looking through them now tho! hopefully ill find a gem

>>9676105
Hoshiikins makes some good ears, and the kitten collection on etsy makes some good ones too! both are much better, and look much more realistic than KPP also. And none of their shitty customer service.

>>9676130

oh thank you so much ill have a look right now!

yeah i really like KPP stuff but the customer service was real shitty last time. makes me sad bc ive been following her on tumblr since befoer she even opened the shop so i wanted to support her :(

>>9676105
I don't know what kind of ears you're looking for, but Clockwork Creature do really good realistic ones. They'll custom paint these ones as well. (To what extent I have no idea)

>>9676132
I liked KPP stuff as well. I ended up placing an order for their stuff finally back in 2015. Finally got my order nearly a year later... While I do like my set, It wasn't at all worth the wait, and the ears don't really even look that great on my head... and they look different than the pictures they had up at the time I purchased. Not as goo of quality. Plus, the collar was fraying when I got it, and the kitten collection has way better and cheaper collars too. :(

>>9676138
yeah i recently got my collar after 6month wait and was highly disappointed, looked very different than the image. just checked out Hoshiikins and they're gorgeous! gotta read more into her order form, but do you know what her typical wait time is?

also loving the collars on TheKittenCollection but not seeing any ears for sale the moment, but checking her recent reviews they looks super nice :)


>>9676137
ooo ive always adored their suits, i didnt know they just did pieces. having a look now!

>>9676143
I purchased all my hoshiikins ears when she still had an etsy, so I'm honestly not sure. she started getting really popular when I placed my last order, and I think it was around.. 2-3 months maybe? but it was well worth the wait I think. They are still my favorite ears, and I wear them all the time.

>>9676146

im stalking her instagram and im in LOVE
thank you so much this has been super helpful~

>>9676146
wahh shes not taking customs and is sold out LOL gonna have to stalk her

>>9676150
>>9676155
Glad I could help ^~^

I know how hard it can be to find cute ears, so I like helping out whenever I can.

I get so many compliments on my ears from her, and I really do wear them almost every day

On the subject of ears can I ask a really stupid question? I've never seen a really good pair of ears in person and up close like these >>9676137

How do the edges come together so cleanly? Is there no fur there and just the edges of the foam or plastic inserts showing or how are they actually made? I have cheaper toony ears that have the fur just folded over so I was curious how the hyper realistic ones are done.

>>9676065
ugh so cute, we need more buns

>>9676159
>and I really do wear them almost every day
Are you one of /those/ people in person? May or may not be negative depending on personality otherwise.

>>9676160
On my hoshiikins ears, they edges are heat treated in some way to where the fur just looks like a seamless edge.

On ears I have made, and what it looks like in this picture, I sew them together and pick all of the trapped fur out of the seam, which basically will not show a seam much, or if at all.

>>9676163
I honestly just like wearing ears. It makes me feel cute. And while it may seem weeby, I am definitely not one of the types to run around and nya and act cringy. I guess take that how you will as to whether or not it's good or bad. I don't meow or act like I think I'm a cat, just like a normal person wearing cute ears.

Had a idea for a suit, but not sure if I'll ever actually do it, so hence the initial idea "sketch" being here.
Mostly because to this day I have never seen a good shark outfit (or even a decent shark that actually looks like a shark for that matter) for this I referenced actual sharks (Internet cookie if you can guess species) and tried to keep it as on reference as possible (less than realistic eyes aside). Intended to be made with a lycra skin and be form fitting on the front of the torso, hands(webbed)/arms and around the front of the legs.
Main reason I'm not sure if I'll do it, wanted to have the front fins of the shark be the legs of the wearer, but there's no real way to incorporate the feet into it without the fins either being wrong, or having the feet being basically vertical.

>>9676172
really love this design, i like what you have for the feet. im not sure you could do it any other way without looking off

>>9676170
>On my hoshiikins ears, they edges are heat treated in some way to where the fur just looks like a seamless edge.
Huh, that's really clever, I would have never thought of that. Thanks for your insight on this!

>>9676172
A black tip or maybe nurse shark? Yeah aquatic 'fursuits' are hard to come by, hard to anthropomorphize too.

>>9676172
money on tiger shark or sandtiger shark

>>9676176
Thanks, so far it's up to either blob feet/straight black feet that you're supposed to ignore, but that just seems lazy, or clawed & webbed feet, which would look like someone stuck some feet on the end of the fins, ruining the smooth aesthetic.

>>9676192
>>9676195
For the black tip or tiger/sand tiger sharks, it looks like it'd be just a easy minor colour adjustment from what I'm thinking of, but not it.

>>9676213
uh.... how many gill slits

>>9676226
Five, and just realized I forgot to establish where they go in the concept image. Probably on the torso indents above the legs.

>>9676229
uh... copper shark?

pretty hard without color lol

>>9676231
Wow, never realized how much so certain species of shark look similar to each other without colour. It's silvery grey on top with a white bottom, and black highlights on all of its fins aside from the primary dorsal fin.
Should I just say it?

>>9676242
uh...pigeye?

up till now i hadnt googled but i'm stuck.

it's hard because part of it is the lines of the body which are harder to see on a fursuit haha.

>>9676258
Was shooting for caribbean reef shark, but again, it'd be as easy as a slight colour change to make it a bunch of other species. If it were to be made, it'd be interesting to have interchangeable outer skins for said different species, but that'd more than likely be way more of a hassle than it's worth.

>>9676267
Eh, the nub on the tail is pretty distinct. Either way its cute!

>>9676213
I think plain black or grey socks or ballet slippers would work best. They'd make the feet look as small and smooth as possible. Stuffed blob feet would look bizarre and draw too much attention, and anthropomorphizing the feet would look bad and fall into the same pitfalls most anthro aquatics fall into. There's no reason for a fish to have claws. You can't not have feet, but a small and discreet footwear at least isn't shoehorning your feet into the design in a way that compromises the design.

>>9676285
i agree this would be the best !

>>9676285
By blob feet I meant indistinct and without defined detail, as opposed to having the toes being separate, detailed and a part of the costume. So effectively more or less what you suggested.
Not that I probably would in the end, but if it were to go on the anthropomorphize the feet route, not having it clawed would be inconsistent with the hands, which would be. Webbed hands without claws doesn't look right, unless it's supposed to be integrated into a full arm fin in such a way that the hand's supposed to be lost into the fin, which usually looks kinda goofy.

>>9676292
>full arm fin

what about in a similar way to bat suits?

>>9676294
That's what I was thinking of, but that brings a couple more issues. But for this hypothetical costume specifically, on a major note, as it is right now the front shark fins are the legs of the wearer, and the arms are there in a kinda taur-like fashion. Moving those fins to the arms makes the leg problem even more of a problem, with the dinky hind fins these sharks have, it'd be even worse to try to hide / not draw attention to a entire leg instead of a foot. On a minor note, arm fins make me think of a normie meme from a year or so ago involving sharks that I'd never be able to shake the reminder of.

>>9676305
>a normie meme from a year or so ago
Anon if your color is even remotely similar everyone will think its left shark, you just gotta either own it or make your suit a different color.

>>9676305

>>9676267

Here's a thought. Create a piece of flexible fake coral to cover each foot. The tip of the fin comes down to touch the coral, but the human foot is hidden inside.

>>9676321
...not op but that sounds kinda lame

>>9676321

Hmm..

Depending on how much mobility limits you are willing to put up with, the piece of coral could be big enough to hide both feet, as in one piece 2 foot wide. Or the coral shoes could be big enough that when you stand with your feet together, it looks like one lump of coral.

>>9676325

It's the esthetics I guess. better look when posing for pictures. Not necessarily the most practical for walking.

>>9676336

Or, you build something completely different.

Say you wanted to do a mermaid sitting on a rock. You create a rock hoop skirt to hide your legs, then create the mermaid tail on the outside.

In this case a coral hoop skirt with the shark tail and fins draped front and back. Reasonably easy to walk in. Just a thought.

still liking the smooth skin look for the feet under the fin the best. much more sleek

>>9676350

LOL For the sleek look, you place the legs inside the tail, use the arms for the pectoral fins, lie on the ground and pull yourself along using the arms only.

>>9676321
>>9676331
>>9676345
It's a thought, but personally I prefer to make costumes that look good in motion, even if I'm well aware people take more still images than video. Coral feet would both look awkward to walk with, and because most if not all species of not dead coral are rather brightly coloured, they'd draw attention away from the borderline greyscale (mild pun intended) of the rest of the costume.
Mermaid rock works for mermaids, because other than literally having your legs tied together in a wheel chair, there aren't many other options. But again, for the shark it comes back to the "What looks good in motion" thing.
>>9676350
Agreed. Although just about every foot option isn't optimal, the thing nearly all anthro sharks, costume or not, completely miss about sharks is the living torpedo shape with no unflowing irregularities along the body that they're so characteristically known for. Of course you're going to loose some of that grafting it to the human body, but it's doable to still have some of that sleekness when anthropomorphized. Sleek foot jives the best with that.

>>9676361
That'd be hilarious, but by that point you might as well go full shark costume and skip trying to make it human like at all.

>>9676364

Personally, was thinking of a harp seal costume, done like small Santa ( Body in sack hands and arms become feet legs and torso of character.) But you are right. That would work well in a wheelchair.

What our original poster is talking about here, is a variation on a mermaid costume. vaguely humanoid torso and shark tail.

>>9676361
LOL christ

>>9676362
i say go for it and make it. i think youve got a good idea of whats gonna make the suit shine!

>>9676371
Completely shark lower end with wheelchair would be the easiest fix for the foot problem, but that's the "Chuck the phone out because the screens cracked" solution. Indistinct black feet on fins is the least obtrusive option.
>>9676376
I'd like to, (wouldn't of gone past the "what if" stage if I didn't) but if I ever were to, it'd be a long way off from now, between the lack of funds and the other costumes that need refurbishing or complete start overs first.

hope yall had a fun halloween

>>9676362
in my head I'm thinking that something like pic related would work. Either leave the front part of the foot out of the fin or you could potentially just do the fin to the end of the foot. the key is walking around on your tip toes!

sorry for basic pic I drew it with a trackpad.

>>9676416
>AFFE HOUS

More good bear suits?

>>9676422
I reread your post and saw

>but there's no real way to incorporate the feet into it without the fins either being wrong, or having the feet being basically vertical.

Best way is a compromise between the two, aesthetically speaking (and also imo). I apologize that my post/pic was reiterative to whatever degree

Is there any way to buy one of these anonymously.

>>9676436
Makers don’t typically reveal your identity. You can purchase one as quietly as you want as long as you have a viable email address and payment method.

>>9676436
i mean
yes?
if you commission one you can ask to not use your name or if you buy a premade you can just make a new account
they'll only see your name thru paypal really and no ones gonna really give a shit about that

Someone finally bought the 9k chimera dragon from furstar, can't wait to see that one done.

>>9676451
holy cow, 9k.
do you have a pic of the reference? i'm not sure if it's the one i'm remembering

>>9676438
>>9676440
But I want literally no one to know that I'm buying a fursuit.

>>9676457
if you don't tell anyone then no one will know, its not like a maker will just announce who you are

>>9676460
I don't even want the maker to know who I am. I'm just really paranoid about anyone finding out I'm a furry.

>>9676464
>I don't even want the maker to know who I am
that's gonna be pretty damn hard if you're, you know, actually paying for it and having it mailed to your house

>>9676192
I've seen this one in real life. Gives me the creeps.

>>9676468
That's basically what I mean. I know a PO box is probably gonna be too small to receive a suit, and costly if they did have one big enough, and I can't have it mailed to my house. I also don't know if I can set up a payment without using my real name.

>>9676473
Set up a paypal using prepaid cards, or maybe you can pay the maker that way. Use a fake name and an address for a foreclosed house and watch for the mail every day.
Why does it matter? Politicians have been outed as furries and they still go about their days like normal.

>>9676473
why does it fuckin matter that much lmao

>>9676457

Then it's time to DIY. Learn to sew. Buy the raw materials. Work in secret.

But then if you actually go to a convention, you still have to buy a membership.

>>9676478
>Politicians have been outed as furries
What, seriously?

>>9676453
This is super cute who’s the maker?

Also it’s the green dragon covered in gold with the crazy pattern and the little snake/dragon headed tail

>>9676557
Yeah some dude, might’ve been a councilman of a state, got outed. People found his FA, inkbunny, and his erotic writings. Even has a fursuit. Scott Chamberlain? Should be the name.

>>9676473
Can I ask what you think will happen if people find out you have a fursuit? I was really anxious about my family finding out for a while but eventually I just told them because it let me store my suit way easier than trying to hide it. They asked what it was about and I just explained that I enjoyed the performing aspect of it (probably helped that they've both helped the local drama society in recent years) and they were fine with it.
Like that other anon said, if you want to wear it out to a convention or a meetup people are gonna at least see your face during the periods you don't have your mask on.
Normies are generally pretty receptive when they see a group of costumers out and about, especially if they're with kids who aren't afraid of mascot costumes (funnily enough I was when I was very young). The mentality that furries are widely despised is echoed a lot on 4chan but it doesn't carry over to real life since most people either don't know or care about the sexual side of the fandom which is what gets pushed the most online.
My favorite example of internet blowhards amounting to nothing was back in 2008-2009 on /b/ when there were a number of continuous threads on /b/ organising a protest and blockade at some furry con, threads full of people all organising when and where to meet, what they were going to bring, signs to make and all that razz. THREE people turned up, and they took shelter inside the convention when it started to rain.
I should try and dig those screencaps up from my /b/ folder at some point, I will never not love that rich example of internet vitriol amounting to jack shit.

Thanks for the info. I'm posting a link to an article if anyone else's curious. I feel badly for the guy.

http://m.newstimes.com/local/article/New-Milford-councilman-resigns-after-furor-over-12181577.php

how many of you haven't answered the strawpoll from the last thread yet?
http://www.strawpoll.me/14261335

>>9676707
Very curious how it's going to look like! Not a cheering fan for the design but it's surely intricate.

how long has this guy been sitting on furstar? i kinda want
https://furstar.jp/en/satogo.php?id=00134

>>9676887
I kinda like this a lot too, but then again I'm a sucker for mostly white/gray/black designs.

So kemono suits have a reputation for being too hot/having bad ventilation, is this true? I live in Australia and I don't own a suit but i wanna get an atelier suit as my first. will i die?

>>9676910
yeah they're pretty bad for long term suiting. mostly made for visuals and pics. you'll need regular breaks.

>>9676946
Is there a difference between longer and shorter muzzled heads?

>>9676959
Yes,the longer the better

>>9676969
How much of a difference would a muzzle like that make compared to one like Rufens? Is it still less breathable than a western suit? Sorry about all the questions

>>9676978
I'd say its probably less breathable than a western suit, but there are a lot of cheats to get around it at the same time. air vents in the eyes, ears, nose.

At the end of the day a fursuit is still gonna be hot as fuck so besides that there's not much you can do. People suit in hot climates a lot anyway

>>9677014
Alright thank you anon
Yeah I was thinking even if I did get a suit I'd use a cooling vest or something
I've heard about the plastic covering the eyes fogging up too, sounds kinda troublesome

>>9677019
Some use glass defogging spray, but if you make sure your breathing can go out through mouth or nose, that will help a lot (or small holes near the eyes)

Do any of you consider an age where it'd be too late to fursuit or an age where you'd wanna stop.

Personally i'm open to any age fursuiting but I can imagine people thinking that it's way too immature to be fursuiting at like 50 up

>>9676910
You won't die, kemono fursuits aren't hotter than any other suits if you get perforated aluminium
for the vision as well as get fans added. Also, a lot of people don't seem to know that japanese fursuits usually have hidden vent holes in the head (under ears, hair, etc).

>>9676887
I’d say... 2+ years, considering how far back he is. My design was on the shelf for months before I went for her

>>9677145
Short answer: no.
For any costumery, the only real limiter is whether you can achieve the look of the costume that you're wearing well. With cosplay, any exposed body parts account for how good said cosplay is, so a wrinkly guy trying to cosplay a 16 year old isn't going to work. That's not really a problem with fursuiting, 'cause your completely covered up. If you're physically fit enough for it, anyone should go for it regardless of age.
Now being a anthropomorphic blob trying to fursuit on the other hand...

any armadillo suits out there?

>>9677171
not many good ones

There were a couple interested in my powered wing frame last thread so I finally got a prototype up in the air, you can view it here
>>9677201
It's on 2x speed again + needs some modifications but overall i'm very happy

>>9677209
>Having the wings sit that high
No idea how heavy they are, but that looks like it'll be prone to pulling you backwards, having all of that extra weight sitting so far above your center of gravity.
Do they swivel back? 'cause I can guarantee you that even at that folded size it'll be nigh on impossible to walk about anywhere that isn't the middle of a open field if they don't.
Good on you though for having both wings on one actuator. Even after seeing this I know I'd never go about doing that, I like excessively fine control of body parts too much, even at the expense of practicality.

>>9677274
Yeah I noticed it was swinging a little bit on the highest point, I will probably slide some joints to make them sit a little lower (everything is not attached solid yet). I can see I would have to stand extremely straight when they are unfolded at the height theyre sitting now.
Atleast the frame is holding up very well even when i'm holding it horizontal.
The frame itself is 3KG in total atm.

>>9677274
Do they swivel back? 'cause I can guarantee you that even at that folded size it'll be nigh on impossible to walk about anywhere that isn't the middle of a open field if they don't.
I'll do that when I have another actuator since that means I have to redesign my parts that attach to the actuator, and i'm swapping it out for a faster one first.
I don't intend on wearing this on a con floor, that would call for extreme problems.

>>9677209
Thanks for sharing your progress; that's cool as hell.

>>9677284
>>9677289
Even at where you red lined, yea, probably not the best for cramped convention halls. (Possibly doable if careful and folded, but the hassle being worth it is purely subjective.) But there's still doorways and furniture to be navigated. I've knocked my fair share of table items and heads with even kinda undersized wings to know that you'll never get away from the space they take up.
When you do redesign to account for swivel, would it be possible to flip the lift actuator around so most of the weight sits in the dip of the back, instead of right below and behind the head, or would that muck up the mechanics / intended design too much?

I was thinking about that, but atm too tired to draw it out, definitely is an option yes. It will help a lot with stabilizing.

Like the species/style or a suit made by the creator?

>>9677369
I want to shake her and ask if that OC was worth it.

Thought this was one of my favorite rabbit suits I’d ever seen. It’s a goat.

>>9677383
i mean she commissioned a quad suit of it recently so i guess so
and she also has that really nice suit by phoenix, razer, so i dont think the moneys a problemo

>>9677420
Ah hey sorry, I’m here. Prepping for a con!
If anon is still around I’ll make a temporary link! (PS I’m normally always lurking)

I noticed that there hadn't been a post in 3 days before I saw the "link" to the new thread. That isn't good. Random out of context cross-links could be anything. Means that I'm still was expecting people in the old thread, and still posted in the old thread...

Don't worry, I fixed it for you all. Gave the cross link some context. If anyone wants to reply to my post there though, I suppose you could do it here, and >> this post.

>>9677725
You should download the 4chanx extension, if you hover over a link it'll show you the OP, so if you hover over >>9673995 you can see it's the link to the new fursuit thread
>also it's up to you to check the catalog for new threads

>>9678208

BOOM BIG REVEAL

>>9678567
I can't imagine how much that might sell for considering how autistic the fans were about a tiny packet of McDonald's sauce.

>>9678430
The eyes, uses green window tint.

>>9678567
its pretty good but the bones kind of suck

Here’s a pic of my suit, I’ve started using an itabag with my fursona in it out and about, surprisingly only get compliments and other furries saying hi

>>9678666
The bag up close n up to date

>>9678666
>>9678670
I am surprised that itabags aren't a big thing in the fandom considering how many people get a shitload of badges and buttons of their character done.

>>9678694
I've seen like one really bad one that was just a wego bag with a singular image, I'm really suprised myself they're not that popular

>>9678694
yeah seriously! I use a little shiba backpack to collect some pins i have for myself though

>>9678698
Probably because itabags are more of a crazy otaku thing for devotion of existing characters, while OC bags are generally considered meh and a more western thing. Hard to explain, I guess it's two hobbies that wouldn't meet under normal terms. Furries are much bigger in the West than in Japan tbf so they possibly haven't had any exposure to this weeb shit.

I say this as an itabag owner who posts on the other thread.

>>9678729
>implying most furries aren't weebs to begin with

How could I make my furry itabag better? I keep feeling like I should focus on getting 100% custom charms and pins of her and maybe a plushie to put in there but I'm super unsure on doing that or just collecting weeb pins

>>9678670
I like it but it's not exactly itabag/one character. It's still really cute tho

>>9678729
you kiddin me? almost all the furries I know are into anime and shit

I'd like someone's opinion on makers. I want to get a Kemono style suit, but my character has no eyes. I want to make sure I get a maker that is really polished with bodysuits and muzzles, because the eyes won't be the center piece. I've had a look around, but does anyone have a recommendation?

I redesigned my goofy winged cat into something that makes more sense as a fluffy/feathered dragon. It'll probably go through a couple more revisions before i'll be actually making it, even though my wing frame prototype is sort of working out so far.

>>9678754
Is this one >>9678670 yours? I would go as character-specific as possible and fill in the dead space with artificial flowers, rosettes, etc. Itabags are a financial drain; if you're not sure if you want merch of your fursona or generic weeb stuff, hold off on buying anything new until you're sure which way you want to go.

>>9677882
>>9678417
On mobile usually for 4chan... 4chanx doesn't mobile. Both 4chan apps I have, Mimi and overchan don't properly crosslink, but are the best I've found.

>>9679273
Use google chrome on mobile, if you tap on a crosslink the op will pop up without taking you to the thread.

>>9679278
Same for Firefox. That's what I use.

>>9678817
>>9678750

I actually got shit on more often than not for being a furry and a weeb. By both groups, lose lose. I'd love to meet more

>>9678817
This makes me sad, they went from a terrible snow leopard, to a nicer snow leopard, to a barely snow leopard rufen copy.

>>9679498
What makes in a Rufen copy?? Because it's face looks like every other short muzzle kemono suit? I'm sick of people thinking that Kline is THE japanese suit company. That's how kemono suits look, I don't get what else people expect to be made when that's what the art has always looked like.

>>9679768
That's exactly why it's annoying. There's hundreds of kemono suits but people feel that rufen is the default and they copy it. Take a look at the photo, they've moved the ears to the side of the head (lol wut snow leopard), added horns, it even looks like there's a fin on the now dragon like tail, not to mention the ~kawaii~ proportions. Why couldn't they have just made a normal leopard kemono suit, it would have looked much better

>>9679856
Isn't Rufen itself somewhat of a copy of Laki and Loki?

>>9679856
I don't care if it looks like Rufen, I think its cute

>>9679498
>New ideas for every suit
Let the OP create and practice anon.

>>9679873
Yes.

>>9679273
there's no excuse for being an idiot
you can't recover
give up

>>9679873
I think laki and loki have an entirely different facial structure than rufen (see nose)
But i guess theyre sort of similar.

>>9680073
People only bring this up because some act like Rady invented wingless kemono dragons with ears but the current one always changes monthly, even got wings on the hips/butt now and >>9678776 's last version looks closer to either an angel dragon mix or Corndog (pic related) than Rufen.

>>9680117
Yeah I agree. And that corndog looks adorable!

>>9680049
In that cast then, I'm the smart one. As others said in this very thread, old thread wasn't at limit, this one shouldn't have been made.

>>9680138
Case*

>try to be brave and wear fursuit to hand out Halloween candy
>one kid called me Chuck E. Cheese
>different kid asked "what tv show are you from?!"
>one girl was really excited and wanted high fives
>lots of people thought I was a fox (granted I do have pointed ears and generic canine face but I'm a husky.) and one little boy kept yelling "rabbit!"

Overall it was...interesting.

>>9680491
Embrace it anon. Kids will like you no matter what they think you are. I get “mouse” or “fox” a lot with Ipa.

Hear a lot of references to Five Nights at Freddy’s too.

>>9680506
Yeah I'm cool with it. I'm just happy that the kids were positive to it. I haven't gotten any FNAF comments yet. The Chuck E. Cheese one was kind of bizarre especially since I'm so brightly colored and look nothing like him, but it's just kids haha.

>>9680491
That sounds cute, I'm glad nobody put you off

@KazulGFox won the Blizzcon cosplay contest with this Hogger costume. I have been following their build for a while and it's super inspiring.

>>9680893
Popufur suitmakers BTFO with their sameface headbases and unpadded 'bedroom eyes' suits

I think, honestly, that choosing to make a living as a suitmaker, unless your skills are god-tier, is the dumbest idea in terms of letting your skills grow, since the pay is shit and you have to spend most of your time working on basic commissions of yet another twinky rave fox. There's no time to go wild and try something like Hogger, because commissions get in the way. Solution--get married to someone with another source of income.

>>9681115
I wanna get a picture with this hamster at my meetup next week

>>9681115
this girls a bitch to people on facebook, she also crashed and burned on the Crystal Maze. She's that wannabe popufur she's already got the ego and non of the fans

>>9680893
This is fucking awesome, holy shit.

Do any fur suits have any shaped padding or something in them? They always look like baggy onesies which is really ugly.

>>9681183
Digitgrade fursuits are the ones you're looking for

>>9681183
lots of suits have padding in them

>>9681183
>Always

>>9681183
That's usually only bby's first fursuit when not having done research.

>>9681157
You can’t just say that and not post any proof anon.

>>9681448
But there are a lot of popufur plantigrade suits out there with zero padding.

just out of curiosity, does anyone know how furries are viewed in japan and other asian countries? is it the same sort of general sentiment as in the US or is it more acceptable?

>>9681607
Some anon here once said that furries in Japan are more reserved when it comes to suiting in public,something about it being polite.They're supposed to tend to stay in the hotel only during cons.

>>9681616
That'd hardly be an issue if they took raunchy video of nippon kemono banging.

But they don't.

Kill all the furries please
They need another gas attack

>>9681782
why tho

>>9681782
>babby's first troll

>>9681616
I was probably that anon. Yeah fursuits are still pretty taboo in japan due to the conservative nature, a few friends of mine over there have told me. They don’t really go out and about like the western furries do, and when they do it’s normally small groups, at an event or for a photoshoot in suit. They like how open US furries get to be about the costumes.

>>9681645
Sex in suits is really taboo. But a friend of mine when I asked said it happens, just not as often. If it does no one really says anything so that the public appearance isn’t ruined. Basically when it comes to sex it’s like the western community, just a little less

Refurbished an old head I made years ago for £40 for a friend, I’m rather proud of how it came out

>>9674733
what the fuck is that

>>9682167
needs longer ears

>>9682167
Used to that maker's suits looking kind of cheap and samey but this one looks totally different. That nose and mouth is just adorable

>>9682165
It looks sick with that red ring around the eyes.

>>9682248
Its supposed to be byojku, isn't named "sick face" for no reason.
>>9682241
How do Amanojaku's suits look cheap with the complex patterns?? Because that one is by Amanojaku.

>>9681941
>Sex in suits is really taboo.
Not in Japan or else there wouldn't be an own AV publisher delicated at it and tons of murrsuits at Fetifes every year.

>>9681486
Plantigrade=/=instant saggy wrinkly mess as described in anon's post

>>9682316
I’m only saying what my friends from over there told me, so this is from what they’ve said; I don’t have personal experience.

>>9682248
What kind of species is this? I like it.

>>9682311
Not that anon, but something about that suit just seems more polished than the usual Amanojaku suit. Maybe it's just lighting or the character's design though

>>9682111
Can we have a before/after comparison pic?

Any cute bird suits? I’d love to have a budgie one, but I’m not sure how I would want to design/construct it

>>9682454
You are likely talking about the multicolor fur, that is quite common for Amanojaku. You are probably thinking of Ichihi's designs for Furstar as those are always solid colors.

>>9682535
And in Amanojaku's own photos of the suit, it is only a lightbrown shiny mass.

>>9682511
Sethaa made a cute bird blank a year ago but I have yet to see it used.

how realistic is too realistic?

>>9682570
when you're in danger of getting shot by hunters

>>9682570
If you get shot by a hunter you went too far.

>>9682511
What type of bird suit wings do you guys like best?

I finished Lambchop in time for Youmacon! Had to finish some pieces at the hotel because I had a commission due the same week but had most of Saturday to suit! Got a ton of nostalgia reaction and will be bringing her to MFF.

>>9682601

>>9682601

>>9682612
>>9682647
Also thanks guys, I plan on listing her for sale after MFF! c:

>>9682656
I don’t blame you! When i went to the rencen in Pabu they (some security dude) made me take off my head even though I saw tons of fursuiters in the area

I want to start working on a hybrid kigurumi/fursuit like Ayano Harumaki's Mahnya. I think the rigid fiberglass head will be great for wearability and detail.

>>9682733
I find that so uncomfortably creepy

>>9682591
I think the elbow wings work best for a cuter suit! And also easier. The wings here are cool if you want to go more impressive/realistic

>>9682769
Yeah I think elbow wings are best for all around design, I don't mind the super floofy arms either.

>>9682733
i love this, please do

>>9682733
Nope, sure as shit don’t like that.

>time to buy some foam I guess

>>9683801
i mean.. it's not really the suit makers fault
his legs are incredibly tiny and i assume he didn't want any padding so yeah.

Stupid question but what exactly do you do at a furry con? Just hang out in suits and chill, make friends? Are you expected to participate in any activities like the big dance or after parties? What’s furry etiquette?

>>9685123
hang out with people, go to panels, buy things at the dealers hall, roam around and look at the costumes
events are entirely opt in, I've never been to one of the dance events personally

Etiquette is about the same as normal conventions, don't be rude, don't be grabby. Ask people for photos or before making physical contact, etc.

>>9685123
I usually chill, spend a bunch of money at the artist alley and dealer's den, take pics, hang out in the game room, attend the dance-related events... and uh.. I guess that's it.
I don't do much different than what I'd do at anime cons desu. furcons are more fun for me though, everybody is so much friendlier and more approachable.

>>9685123
also like anon said, don't be grabby and shit.
lot of people have this weird habit of taking a suiters props and running expecting a chase or something? it's annoying and rude
i also hate having my suit's head rubbed/scratched since it messes with the fur.

>>9685132
I don't mind people petting/stroking as long as they rub with the direction of the fur and not mess it up

>>9685138
unfortunately a lot of people don't really do that

>>9685140
this shit needs to be required reading for anyone attending a con

>>9683801
>>9683834
I think it's a woman.

>>9685128
Not saying your words aren't true but I've seen some annoying huggers and glompers between strangers. Wish people would respect suiters and ask first.

>>9683834
Oh my god, that fursuit is amazing! I love it!

>>9685299
well, yeah, those people exist. they exist at practically any convention.

>>9685299
ye that's conventions in general
at least the fucking paddles were banned out of con existence

>tfw favourite oc isn't a feasible suit design

>>9686671
Which one anon? Maybe you just need some outside input.

>>9686677

If you want a happy and thriving series of 4chan threads, don't encourage mass exodus to elsewhere where posts will only get mirrored when the poster goes out of their way to do so, and ultimately leaving the general dead with no regular posters. (Which granted is less of a problem on /cgl/ due to the slower traffic, but still I worry. This place has slowed down massively since a few threads ago.)

Avoid CupidtheDeer

>>9686704
That’s far from what I wanted to do.
I made the discord because of how these threads usually go. Eventually some anons bitch about how it’s either furry related or not cosplay/costume related, then janitors start deleting the threads; then discussion ceases. I like seeing people be interested in fursuits as a craft.

I myself refrain from posting links or just handing them out unless people ask. The discord was a made as a precaution around this time last year actually.

>>9686973
Sorry I sounded redundant in that post, it’s late.
But yeah; I’m glad the threads have been thriving. They’re doing way better than they did before

Got a meet up on Birmingham on Saturday, hoping the rain stays off this month

>>9687049
Yo I'm in the Midlands too but won't be going because of work. Are you in the discord? I'd love to at least chat to others online before going alone and being nervous.

Speaking of which. Where the heck do you get foam in the UK? I can find really dodgy sites and ebay but what kind of foam is best for fursuits? Any trusted sellers?

>>9686687
So then is this why you guys have been spamming threads and bragging about having a part general? You have a group of shitposters coordinating in a discord to post stuff?
Pathetic

>>9687319
Yeah, I'm the most recent post in the friend finder channel. Hit me up if you ever want to talk about the british furry scene or stuff. Can't help with the foam recommendation since I don't make suits but I could try asking the people I know who do make suits for you

>>9687359
why are you even here you absolute retard, it's not spamming if the threads max out, it's not the fursuit thread's fault /cgl/ is dead the past few months

if you don't like something, report it and if janitors agree you are in luck, if they don't, deal

>>9687359
Do you honestly think these threads are some kind of raid lol

New pokemon announced, i can imagine some would love to get this suit made, it's so close to an actual fursuit design.

>>9687359
wtf are you even talking about? stick to your 30 different threads for each imaginable lolita dressing style

>>9687456
Looks like Luxray and Electivire had a kid

>>9687467
Tbh I thought it was a mega manectric. But that's a good one too.

Could I stick a wig on a fursuit head or would that look shitty?
My character has bangs like pic related but i'm not sure how to go about putting them on a head

>>9687519
You can, but you have to cut up the wig and glue it on in parts, and either use wefts to fill it up (or glue on only wefts and style them like that)

>>9687519
example

>>9687534
bah it deleted the file

>>9687532
Ah man that sounds difficult and easily fuckup-able
I'll still try it if there's no other option, I just don't know any other way to get these damn bangs

>>9687519
While wigs on fursuits isn't unheard of, it can be hard to pull off. The biggest issue is the wig being too small for a fursuit head shape/size. The fursuits that do it well seem to take more than one wig and reconstruct it.

>>9683834
Source?

>>9687599

>>9687543
I don't think it is hard to pull off but like kigurumi masks, it needs quite the forehead to look like full anime hair.

Man, I can hear the fanart and porn being churned out already. They knew what they were doing when they designed Zeraora, it's like they wanted another Lucario.

>>9687703
I'm on it, have been since early march. back then she took it thru FA notes so I don't know how the new way of getting on really goes. I heard she's not taking any more until she decides to re open early next year

I'm still waiting for it to be confirmed as an actual thing, but then it will probably be my next pokemon suit after Lucario, since my plans weren't very determined yet anyway. So i drew out the reference sheet for Zeraoro.

>>9687716
oh shit if the colors weren't eye hurting I'd be all over electric punching kitty
I like the colors, but i'm a sucker for cyan

>>9687791
I know right..

So, discord link when?

>>9687817
Okay, but isn’t she the worst?

>>9687951
what do you mean?

>>9687951
I mean she's done some pretty shitty things to her ex but I leave personal matters outside of business matters (yes I understand SHE didn't, but that's not my point.)
I like her suits and her past clients (casually spoke to 3 doe suiters, ones local to me) had nothing but good to say, so I'm not gonna let any of that shit stop me from commissioning a fuckin fursuit lol

does anyone know who ended up buying this suit?

>>9688023
Actually we are, Toki released his pony body pattern (the one of that Celestia to be exact) to the MLP FB group long ago (guess why all JP ponies look the same in the first place, they all use his cuts and so do quite a lof of western ones).

Quaid... Start the reactor...

>>9688749
That is a lovely axolotl, and such a smart idea to use ostrich feathers for the gills!

>>9688550
Furries are pretty mainstream these days. If someone asks if it’s about sex, just laugh it off like a joke. This entire fandom is a joke.

>>9688749
They fact that they edited his face into a picture is awful. Media is disgusting to furries. ANW is in hot water right now with their media decision so.

>>9689298

>>9688229
Well I signed up
...wish me luck ;_;

>>9689298
It's interesting that the article also points out that he said he "tolerates rape". That seems liked a loaded accusation when he was on a fetish dating site.
>>9689315
So just don't be okay with rape, anon, that seems like the biggest issue desu.

>>9689298
Whoa where did you gst this pic? I’ve been trying to find the owner’s twitter

extended fursuiting makes my body ache way too much aaaa

Changed my lucario ears to be completely open, to help with ventilation, very comfortable now!

>>9689315
Huh, guess you fags were right, or atleast noone seems to have noticed yet

>>9689839
same. I suited from 10am to 9pm today at a convention
I am literally dead

>>9689839
I suited for only about an hour at a summer event and ended up hurting my back so badly I had to give up a shift at work.

I know gulls love drama, any of you following this chick? She was mentioned in a previous thread.
https://twitter.com/PB_Willow

Apparently a bunch of people are coming forward about her scamming, she was previously known in the fandom as Cynical_Sergal.

>35 suits in her queue, which wouldn't be an issue if she actually worked on them
>Constantly e-begs for money using her financial status and health problems for leverage
>Immediately buys commissions even though she owes tons of refunds
>Has kept this up for years
>Is the person responsible for all of those premades that would be spammed on furbuy's page
>Every other journal on her FA is a pity fest

If you've got time to kill here's some of the people that came forward.

I’d already been following this when she was using the To_Be_A_Bird name or whatever. Even when she was Cynical she was a wreck.

>>9690982
this person has such a horrible record lmao
i can't believe people still have been commissioning them uuuugh

Just wondering , has anyone else here ever been assaulted at a con? Sexually or otherwise

>>9690982
Man this sucks dick. You'd think people do a little more research for the makers they are planning to pay hundreds, thousands to, but with so many people looking for makers I guess some slip thorugh and take whatever maker they think they can get, and end up scammed in the end.
I wouldn't ever been able to live like that as a maker, that's so shitty.

>>9690982
This is a woman, right? Why is she so awful.

Thanks for this. My favorite part of this whole situation is the messages she was willing to send.

>>9691358
Why does she write chats in such an awful way? Would never trust anyone who writes like that.

>>9689938
Lookin' good!

>>9691345
The furry fandom is often too forgiving and probably fell for all of her pity stories and did no actual research into her history. OneEyedDoe used to work with and she was right to tell Cyn to fuck off.

>>9691358
Yeah. Her messages try to bend the situation to make it appear as if she was being professional when she wasn't.

>>9691359
It's "crytyping". Tumblr kids do it often to feign having an anxiety attack and it's most often used to emotionally manipulate and extremely childish of someone that is 27.

Here's her Trello for those interested:

That's one miserable activity list right there.

>>9691424
>all rush orders are due by the end of 2016

>>9691200
I wasn't really 'assaulted' and moreso some idiot in the dealer's den at an anime con slapped/pushed really hard on the back of my suit's head.
it didn't hurt or anything, it's just obnoxious that some people actually still really hate furries in 2017 lmao

>>9691200
For me it's been people either not respecting my suit (pulling on the ears, the back bow/wings or otherwise) or they get aggressive with physical affection. Unfortunately I do have to get one of my suit's "ears" resewn on because someone yanked really hard and I couldn't react fast enough (They were taller and came from behind so I couldn't see haha). My suit handler told them to back off.

I get the whole "people are gonna wanna hug the giant stuffed animal" thing but there's been times where I'm trying to rush to the lounge or to leave and someone forces me into a hug or something. Like, I get pulled into it or they assume a hug is fine. It's normally the socially retarded types but then you of course get the normies or the people who think a suit means you're a free for all.


If you guys need advice, here's my top three-
1. Don't suit alone in public. If you're at a con, you should still have someone to have your back.
2. Beware of drunks. They will appear, especially at cons. They will not respect you or your costume.
3. If you need to take the head off, do it. Tell them to fuck off. You're still a person and you need to take care of your needs first. If a person makes you uncomfortable, just say no. Breaking the magic is less for the people around you (except maybe kids) and more for your personal privacy as a performer and person.

They found a fucking diaper in the ball pit.

>>9691807
after everything that's gone on with anw in the past couple days, i imagine it's on purpose to try to sabotage RF 2.0 even more
the cons fucked up almost every aspect of a con to begin with
i doubt there will be an anw 2018

>>9691739
aw man that sucks, we recently had someone grabbed by a member of the public during a fursuit walk at a meet as a "hey come be in a photo with me" thing. I don't think the person was being malicious, just socially retarded like you said. So far in my short time in the community I've been lucky enough to only have positive interactions and I hope it stays that way

On a different note: I just got commissioned to make a flammie plush! Very much looking forward to make this.

>>9691739
Some people just don't realize there's an actual human being in a suit or cosplay, so they get unnecessarily aggressive or affectionate.. It happens to all who don't not look like a regular dressed person.
I've had a drunk person break my costume before, I learned to be very wary of drunk people now and not rely on con security to throw them out.
Other than that not so much, maybe the occassional socially lacking person going batshit affectionate over my suit or on how much they love the character.
I prefer to build all my outfits sturdy enough now to handle most of this without breaking, and I tend to sacrifice looks more for comfortability and visibility rather than before.

>>9691807
gross

>weasel

>>9692665
i can see it
it's cute!

New

>>9692821
Something about this suit seems.. off. For Autumn Fallings, at least.

>>9692821
The hypno-eye fetish thing creeps me out desu

>>9692937
I don't think there's another kind of hypno-eye desu
>even that scene from the jungle book was a vore setup

>>9692867
The proportions are really wonky (head width, for one) and the markings on the thighs are unflattering and makes it look more like someone carrying massive pouchs on their chaps than a digigrade suit.

>>9692959
Exactly what i wanted to say

>>9692959
it's not just the markings, the padding doesn't look good, moreso on the right leg

>>9693026
Yeah too bad because the angle looks really nice on the far right picture! Although the wrinkling might be because different model size

>>9693026
Autumn fallings was a cunt who tried to run away with commission money, and it seems that incident affected her suitmaking ability

>>9693301
Where the screencaps?

Hey, its been a hot minute, but I finished Lotte's tail! It measures 3"2 tip to base
