new partial dragon fursuit!
11 years ago
I recently got a totally awesome partial "fursuit" made by zarathus with a tail, gloves, and a head. I say fursuit in quotes because there isn't any faux fur involved, in fact the only cloth is the padding in the head. It is all made of leather.
I'm really shy and anti-social soooooo~ I'm going to take a long time to get used to this thing to the point where I will wear it in public. I started off by showing it to my brother, he is always the first to see new art or fancy dragon or pony things I get because he is either just going to say awesome or not really care at all and be done. Minimal reaction, minimal effort, no burden on my shyness. Next is my dad, because my brother will tell him about it. He will ask about it, and I will show him. He'll show interest in it and probably ask a couple easy to answer questions, as well as one I don't want to answer... How much did it cost. I'm not sure if he'd understand why such a thing is worth spending over $1k on.
So anyway, I worked up the courage to walk around outside wearing the partial suit for a mile or so but it was at 2am when there is no one outside anyway. It was defiantly some good experience though because now I know just how much the reduced visibility will affect me. I might have to get my brother to walk with me if I go out during the day so that he can look both ways when crossing a street(I had no idea this simple task would become so much effort!) or make sure I don't collide with someone when walking where two sidewalks intersect. I was able to look out for obstacles like large cracks in the sidewalk and large objects on the ground that might trip me even though it was dark out and my visibility was reduced, but only when I am walking straight. As soon as I turn 45 degrees or more in one direction I need to be careful to not trip on anything I might not see.
I'm not sure what my next step should be. Tonight I stayed on streets devoid of people and cars. It was fun, I'd see my shadow in street lamps every so often and rather than some human shaped head there's this head with a muzzle and spikes on top. Quite awesome. I think the next step is going to be to work up the courage to walk down a well lit street where a few cars pass by every few minutes. Maybe I'll actually get myself to the point where I'm not too shy to go out during the day.
I'd better be careful, I have a long history of finding something to be really fun and then not long after I totally lose interest and need something new, I really don't want that to happen with this.
