Need/would really like some help/advise
11 years ago
so i am having trouble deciding what i should doooo
so i made a new gia design as alot of u know and have seen in my gallery
and i really like this design so ima make it a new gia suit but i dont want to make a suit right away but i also want to update gia but uhhggg i want to get a lot more use out of Gia's current suit because it would seem like such a waste cause nothings wrong with the suit except that i want to make Gia 2.0 (so if u guys can give me any like yah make the new one or i should wait till the suit is a little more worn and used cause knowing me i'm gonna have so much fun running around and might probably get the suit all dirty or mat the fur in some areas but idk i ugh and matted suits are bad they lead to presumptions so ima avoid matting -i hope i don't like outgrow it cause im getting a little taller than the original height i made the suit-)
okay so my second dilemma is i might be going with all my friends to a really close to me Anime Cosplay Expo its supper close so it seems like it would be fun to attend but i have been looking at the rules and the only rules they have stated are for the cosplay competition in which it states if ur cosplay requires a mask make sure it does not ruin your vision/sight and that the character has to be from an anime and i have not made any fursuits that are from an anime so im not sure if fursuits are aloud so instead of risking anything if i go or something i was thinking about getting a full cosplay so my wonderful friend sam is helping me get the wig and that is definite so no debating that im getting the wig, its just the character im trying to cosplay has 2 different outfits and one is a magical transformation has to be custom made for 144 dollars or my friend said that i can use the money i have saved up to start buying fursuit supplies and just "thrift shop" her casual everyday outfit which would be cheaper and would be more original instead of having the traditional magical transformation one (so i would love feedback on that one to i can also provide pics of the character if u wish)
okay third and final thing
for my new gia suit she has three different lengths of fur and the sites i have been on don't seem to have all the proper lengths or don't have the colors i need in the certain lengths and stuff so if u have a good faux fur selling sight that has fur in the different pile lengths it would be really nice if u could share it with me
i need a 3.5-4 inch pile grey black white and lime green fur
i need a 2 inch in the same colors
and a 1 inch same colors
sites i have tried and dislike selections:
fabrics.com

Lol what? An anime con that won't allow any type of costume. Elitests. Cosplay is fun, so if you're going to do it, make sure it's something you would do again if you're investing it it, or can pull it apart and use all the stuff. I've got too many things I've only worn once.
Well, two suggestions I guess. Monkey shag from Distinctive a fabrics is the longest I've seen, and probably any longer might run the risk of matting and getting easily snarled. It's around 3" I think and really soft. Second, if there isn't a color you want, make it. Airbrushing fur can be done pretty way, just make sure the paints you use won't wash out too easy. :3
Well, that's my two cents. Tootles~
(i hope its not just me but when u look at a fursuit head for so long it seems to grow on you and stuff and it kinda comes to life and represents a piece of you which is why im not selling any parts of gia maybe other characters i will sell because i need money or whatever but this character is personal to me uhhggg attachment to an object is bad but whatever XD)
and yah my and my fur friends are like NOOOOOO
and the monkey shag at distinctive fabrics doesnt have all of the clolrs i need and the length is 3.5-4 thats why i put that there as a lenght
thanks though its always nice to get good constructive advise and help :3
