very cool! id like to make one, but i know someone who is workin on one

go ask  kinkycoyote about it, i know of a few other folks with fursuits but i dont remember >_<

I think I will, arigato.

Heya fella!!

Here's the best damn advice I can give to you: don't let the early setbacks consume you. You'll find there are unforseen obstacles, glitches, tools you'll need but lack, and the little frustrations can pile up into one big frustration and you'll want to hurl what you've done into a bonfire and scream AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But. Then you return calmly to what you've accomplished. You sit down and gather your tools about you and make another little bit of progress. And you feed off of that, let it boost you.

And take it easy on yourself. This ain't gonna be no Michaelangelo. There will be obvious seams, a degree of awkwardness that you'll overcome in future attempts.

Now the practicals:

What I needed was this:

Foam (I used the big rolls you get at Hobby Lobby--1/2 inch or 1 inch)

A Hot Glue Gun

An Electric Carving Knife

Fur!!!

A Tape Measure

A Box Cutter

Straight Pins (to hold down glued fur till it dries)

A Sharpie

What you do is this:

Go to the following page and pour over all the tutorials here--

Find what method suits you best, and have at it! As I said, the best advice I can give is how to handle the process, not the process itself. You are going to want to give up. You are going to think what you've done looks horrible and want to chuck it in the garbage. Don't, don't, don't give up!!!!

Keep me up to date on your progress, okay?

Great big hugs to you and so much luck!

Will do. But, finding SOME of the materials... that might be hard... ;-;

I wish I could make a fursuit, but my artistic prowess is laughable.

Yeah... but, I don't think I'll be ABLE to get all the supplies from ANY old store, though... I might have to buy from... ONLINE... ;-;

My advice... It's always better to make a good fursuit compared
to a sucktacular one. (Ever the king of the obvious that I am). ^.^

Other than that, all I can say is, unless you actually want your suit recalled
by the manufacturer less than a month after your fursuit is bought or made...

Don't buy/make any fursuit that uses materials made in China. ^.^


Seriously though, all I can do is wish you luck in the matter.

Thanks.
