What ever you're happy with Silky :) If just calling you Silky for short is okay that is :P

Shortening it to Silky works fine for me.

Yay!

And "Furt" for Furtail *nod*

Nooooo!!! Not that! You evil wolf, you!

You will always be Furtail to me.
And i miss ya! Damnit.

And I will always be Furtail to me as well! :)

I miss you too! I was just looking through some old pictures of vacations we had together.

I'm gonna call you: Bob.

Haha! I keep calling one of my co-workers Bob. He hates it. But it is only in return, because he started calling me Pocahontas.

HA! Pocahontas. :P I'll remember that.

A guy at work started calling me Roofie.. the boss made him stop though. :P The costumers started to look at me funny.

*grins* I think the regular customers at my work are used to various weird interaction between the staff.

A former boss over my department, had an enormous sense of humour and started giving out strange nicknames to every colleague, and generally introduced "new" words to our vocabulary, that a lot of people still use now, even after several years since that boss quit.

So the customers would be used to us calling each other quite uncharming names, such as "Svullo", "Pucko", etc...

If someone had forgot to log out from their account on the internal network for price-changes, ordering information and such, that former boss always changed their password and login-name to "Runken".

Your Old boss seems like a prick. xD

It was all in a joking manner, and he was very kind and helpful to everyone, and would always try his hardest to help any of his colleagues. One of the best bosses I have ever had.

I like calling you Silky. <3

I believe that being called Silky IRL will probably make me smile widely and cause me to feel all warm inside. :)

I am so used to being called Furtail IRL, but being called Silky IRL will be a whole new experience.

Aww! :D It just has a nice ring to it, and makes me think of wonderful silky-soft fur that NEEDS to be pet! :D

:D ...and that is exactly what I feel about the name as well! <3

When I eventually get to commission a fursuit (which will likely be in about 2-4 years or so) I am going to try to make sure that the fur of my suit will match my name. I like being soft. :)

Then you should definitely go for Tissavel fur. :D It's expensive, but there's nothing softer or more realistic available. :)

Here's a cowspot one they offer, but it might be too brown for you, or the spots too small: http://www.prefurs.com/premiumfurs/.....CABRIO-640.jpg (Although any decent fursuit maker could airbrush those spots to be a bit darker and larger.) :)

That faux-fur looks so soft and realistic! Thank you for the tip, I will certainly look into having my suit made with such material.

As far as the markings go, I am thinking of trying to have the markings be as similar as possible to the bull-calf's markings. The difficulty is in moving the markings from a four-legged body to the accurate positions on a two-legged body. There are going to be too many markings on the sides of the torso, since the sides of a non-morphic bovine body are so large, compared to the small sides of an anthropomorphic body. So some of the side-markings would have to be moved to the front and back.

Not sure of how to do this... the bull calf was predominantly black in certain parts, and predominantly white in others. So not sure if it would be easier to use two different fabrics, for the different parts, and just airbrush the areas that have the markings. But I don't know how difficult it is to make the airbrushed parts match the colour of the non-airbrushed parts.

Also, I don't know if it works to airbrush a white coluration on the black parts. It's something I will have to look into.

Thanks again for the helpful info of the fur-fabric! :)

Welcome! I suggest having a white base fur for the parts that are mostly white, and black base fur for the mostly black parts, and just airbrush the two where they meet, to make a nice gradient, and then add some patches of white to the black, and vice versa, for the smaller spots. :) I'm not sure if white markings can be airbrushed onto black fur, but black markings can definitely be airbrushed onto white. :)

Thanks yet again for the helpful info! I will ask if it is possible to airbrush white markings on black fur once I get to commission the suit. It's not in the immediate future. :)

*nods* :)

What's important is that you like the names. Doesn't matter what you call yourself, you'll always be you. Though I'll admit, I've become accustomed to thinking of the bull as Silkyfur. It seems appropriate somehow.

*smiles*

Yep, I suppose it is an appropriate name for my bull fursona. Which is why the name stays. :)
