I kinda want a new fursuit XD

COMMISSION PRICES CAN BE FOUND IN MY COMMISSIONS TAB!
Silly ramblings of Jess but fursuit building skills have vastly improved over the years, Im just finding out now LOL, Ive been out of the loop and general fur stuff for about 5 years now and little things keep pulling me back. The latest "omg wouldnt that be cool if I had" a Fury fursuit..... being a Monster Hunter species I could totally get away with her being for cosplay at geek expos LOL!
Ive spied some new modern features I would love to try out but the biggest blocks are money (always been a bad person with money), my health and weight (id rather be thinner/fitter tbh) and we're starting to house hunt so no spare money ^^;
but of those features heres a few things I think would be freaking ACE for a suit of Fury;
- Red LEDs/fibre optics in the eyes and the red skin on her face to transform into the signature Nargacuga demon/rage mode. How cool would that be? Lit up suits is such a thing now compared to years ago, that it's totally feesable.
- Digitigrade legs. Kinda always wanted to try this out, it does mean more weight and heat for myself on the inside though, but I guess everyone suffers for this hobby haha. Sometimes I regret not getting Lyra in digiti.
- BOUNCY TAIL! This is the main thing that brought me back over. Seeing those stunning bouncy off the floor tails! Now im used to having the biggest heaviest snep tail ever, but I'd happily welcome a bouncy lighter one. Fury is the perfect creature for this tail style too!
- Zip on the front!!! OMFG i cannot tell you how difficult its been to get out of Lyra, her zip is on her back and in long fur! so I often have to stray into the hotel lobby to ask for help being unzipped XD
Now a few things I cant decide on because I dont know the build deets so well and if its possible etc;
~I would prefer her to have the hard resin(?) style upper beak, with teeth and fully movable mouth, that's instead of a foam base with felt. I'd love to have the Nargacuga detailing sculpted into it. But are they easily broken, hard to wear or build etc?
~I would need an arm wing expert to tell me how best to have her wings, like how much can you move with bat arm wings, will I end up breaking them? Should they be smaller and confined to the forearms only?
~ The one thing on sketching up a concept that I am stuck on is her spines/mane/hump. If any suit builders can give me an idea on what techniques you would use for it, that would be ace. Like how would you do a Hyena/werewolf/Knoll mane? Just long fur that needs brushing all the time or can it be shaped and more solid/firm? Ive no ideas at all ^^; best pic of her back for ref - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38234515/
The other thing I would need to budget for is some good under Armour or cool vest systems as I get hot VERY fast (shouldnt be suiting in the first place really haha). Maybe theres now new modern cooling systems in suits? I have no clue. My knowledge is dated from 2014 at the latest haha.
Ive spied a few builders who I think could do her quite well, so I've bookmarked them for future if I have the cash, and the drive still to have her done, but I reckon im looking at about £2k or just over to get her made ^^; what a crazy price difference to Lyra in 2012!!! oh well. Skills and quality have improved so much over the years I suppose.
Anyway theres a little ramble, typing down thoughts. I am curious to see what you guys think of the idea of Fury being fabricated in future and thanks to anyone who can help out with ideas on my conundrums.

sadly Lyra is too small for me. she was really tight when I got her tbh. so Fury (whenever) would be a bit bigger and more forgiving. tbh as I am now, I am losing weight slowly, so I'd still prefer some give in the bodysuit.
