So after seeing how the furry community is around where I now live, I've been intrigued to get my own fursuit. Not a full one, of course -- I'm aiming for a partial. Cheaper, a little less hot, etc.

So, I definitely have some questions for the more experienced fursuiters out there.

► I'm still planning out a character who would translate well into a head -- How hard would it be to stylize some hair for the character? My options as of now are limitless (seeing as I haven't pinned down a character), so it could be anything from a fauxhawk to a shaved side or ponytail or ... something.

► Are there any head / tail / hands / feet artists you would recommend? I like both toony and realistic fursuits, though I would prefer a happy medium. I'm fine with looking around at who people recommend, though~!

► Maintenance? Keep in mind I live in a small apartment, with no access to a private washing machine.

► Any other advice?
