All the stuff in my gallery is commissions from others I put here for the sake of convenience. I give all due credit where it's deserved and I recommend faving the piece in the artist's gallery since they're the ones who deserve it.

Looking for Fursuit resources.
5 months ago
A general question for anybody willing to volunteer information. After going to MFF this year I kind of realized my complete lack of talent meant if I wanted to have more fun with the general crowd, I REALLY need to get a fursuit. It's been on the radar for a while but the recent experience has left me feeling I should expedite the venture. I suppose if it helps I can sort of lay out what I'm thinking as the traits.
Suit Ideas
- I'm primarily considering a partial from the waist above at least plus a tail. I want to still be able to wear clothing and accessorize. Dress up a bit for the part.
- I want to have VERY large curves. Not hyper, but large enough to be major attention grabbers. If possible, showing cleavage would be nice.
- Since my sona is draconic, I'd prefer a fabric that isn't super fuzzy. I was thinking a surface more akin to like a Muppet texture.
So I guess I'm curious if anybody has any wisdom to impart. For example, lists of known and reliable suit-makers in the United States would be wonderful. Firsthand experience on what to look for and what to avoid are nice. I already have a grounded expectation of the cost and wait time I think. This may also sound ridiculous but I'm also particularly concerned about the chest aspect. I've seen some suits where they look less like anatomy and more like large pillows just put there. Is it horribly unconventional/implausible to get a torso piece tailored to go on top of something like a breast-form and still have the correct anatomical appearance? Are there good alternatives to breast forms?
I know it's kind of a scattershot inquiry to blast out there and my "audience" is small. It's kind of grasping for straws but if it gets me answers and better sense of direction along with my attempts at researching online, what's the harm?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
