SO, things are very much underway with getting Shush made into a suit. I got a reference sorted out, and the funds for making the suit are about 60% saved. Howeeever, the plan in motion needs to be explained, so that what comes next makes more sense.

Shush, is part robo, part angel dragon (well actually hes a normal angel dragon wearing robo parts but thas not important). , the incredible suitmaker I've talked with on this project, has agreed to make his angel dragon parts in a partial, head, paws, feets and tail. Was even nice enough to propose getting his blue markings to glow with the use of LEDs sown in to the fur (which in all honesty I hadn't even considered, but it sounds AWESOME!). My plan is to make the robotic components myself, using my limited knowledge of propmaking and my even MORE limited knowledge of electronics, which will entail making his mouth thingy, glasses and his arm and leg thingys.

I'm in the process of collecting components of the robo bits now, a piece here, a unit there, whatever glows blue or looks metallic. At this point Shush will currently have a (somewhat) effective Voice Modulator, and glowing panels on his arms. However more is required to see it complete, and that's where you folks come in. I mentioned in my previous journal that commissioners from here on would be acknowledged via inscription inside the head. Thats one way to see this made. The OTHER way is if I maintain a list of the components I need via an amazon list, and allow people wishing for artwork to pay for it by purchasing items from it. The more money you throw at the list, the better art you can get!

I wont lie to you, I am gainfully employed, and although monetary help is much appreciated for this suit, its by no means necessary. But since my commission money is going to this suit anyway, Id like to offer a means to decide how you contribute. If you cant pitch in, feel free to offer insights, or even ideas you think might make the end result even better! Some glowy thing you saw an ad for, or a new fursuit innovation you saw on youtoob. If you reckon there's something that will make this robo-angel dragon look cool, nows the time to speak up. (If the ideas good, you might end up on the inscription list without spending a penny!)

http://a.co/9Sd63CV <-- the list is viewable here. I'll be making updates to it whenever possible. The only point I'll make is if you plan on getting the silver vinyl leather, get as much as you can, because Shush's arm and leg thingys will be covered in it.
