i saw you in the parade, love the getup :)

Thanks a million! :-D

Love your username, too. :) I realize the t-shirts exist now, but I am just so happy that there is a "Violin Hero" as well (only wish I was actually one myself! LOL). :)

hah, i played violin years ago, have to get back into it. Just have to find the time, always the time.

(Hmmm....what do I think?) <:3 *Grabs and carries Royce to car and drives cute walrus man home and wines and dines him* Hehehe, I wish I could do that, in any case. Hehe. He is a cutie.

Do you have ANY idea how much that would charm me? :-D *rubs belly happily, imagining being wined and dined, and simply imagines the many ways I would want to repay the loving bear*

Thank you so much, newbear. :-D Now I gotta look on your page to check for new cute stuff! :-D *nuzzly flipperhugs*

This design got to to be one of the most lovable I've come across <3 This world needs more love for the Walrus.

The hat is just the icing on the cake really!

*huge blush, then hugs you real close* Thank you SO MUCH for the sweet compliment, sir gryphon. :) I myself love the design, too, though I have to hand it to NorthFur for designing the head. Sometimes, I worry that it looks too creepy to some people (even I get creeped out by it, when photographed in the wrong light), but I try to maintain a friendly, gentle, stand-offish attitude, so as not to freak anybody out. So far, it's worked really well, and I've made lots of wonderful friends and fans. :-D

That is true...who knows how long the walrus will survive this world...we definitely need to love them more, but your love is most definitely welcomed and appreciated...

Hehe, you like that hat? You know what, so do I! When I was searching for a hat, I wanted something that looked like a true victorian hat, but they were too expensive for me. This one is a costume "vampire hat" from Party City, but in all honesty, it's worked wonderfully for being collapsible, looking great, and allowing for good accessorizing during the holiday and stuff! :-P

I'm always trying to think of ways to customize Royce, and give him "new" costumes. My next project is a "biker" walrus for next Halloween...I hope it goes over well! :-P

Huge hugs and MANY thanks to you, Solleaes. I apologize for not responding to your comment sooner.

-- Royce =|:3=

ROFL Yes, my tie is one of a series which I forget the name of....I have a barracuda (the one in the pic) and salmon (red) and there are more....but I have to seek them out! :-D Glad you love it so much!! *HUGE FLIPPER HUGS*

I really hope you'll be able to come to a furry convention in time! They're so much fun, but only if you stay safe and hang out with the good people who make it both fun and safe! ;)

Awwrr.....shucks! My fursuit is really nothing. Just thrift store clothes mixed with some stupid stuff I thought of bunching together to make the belly (plus an AWESOME mask made by the awesome guys at NorthFur -- www.northfur.ca ). But thank you so much for the compliment!!! I am REALLY touched and so happy I can make wonderful awesome people like you happy in turn!!! :-D *hugs you real tight again!*

ROFL Sounds like we had a psychic bond concerning the "happiness loop" (see my reply to your walrus drummer comment). :)

Thrift store shopping IS actually rather fun for Royce. :) You can find so many interesting accessories and apparel for him, assuming you get it in the right size. That coat is actually a woman's coat, and a VERY heavy one at that, with tails. I thought it looked rather good for Royce. I just got a new shirt and trousers at Ross, and MUCH better ones (they're bigger and longer, so you don't see my lower legs anymore! LOL With the help of  tigris , I also made brand new foot flippers which are huge and cuter (though I miss the "plop plop" of the feet shown above; you always knew when I was around! ;) ).

I may need to update again someday….I REALLY wish I could make a belly that looked and felt more convincing. :( I fear that it "shifts" a lot under my shirt, making me look disproportionate and "lumpy" (especially without the coat) as I start sweating. :( Then I feel bad.

But when nobody complains or notices and complliments me as much as you do, my feelings of self-worth and pride skyrocket. Thank you, sir, SO MUCH. *hugs you real tight again, sniffling as he cries tears of joy*
