Survey Enclosed- Partial Fursuit?!
Posted 14 years agoWell, I have been thinking. I really want one of my friends to go to AC, but cash is a problem thing, so the only way I can think of doing this is by making a partial fursuit out of my scrap supplies and selling it. All profit I would give to her to get her butt to AC.
But because I am an indecisive little fidget- I cant decide if 1- is this worth it/ would it really sell? and 2- what the heck should I make?
So I made this survey on Surveymonkey because I dunno how else to do surveys here. If you would be willing to give me your opinion, that would be great. The survey is only 2 questions long.

Thanks guys!
Also - there will be news of the Carrot n' Strawberry packs soon. I promise. Life is still just crazy with school. But soon.

WAAAAANT!!! KITTY EARS CONTROLLED BY YOUR BRAIN!!!
Posted 14 years agoOk. So people who know me in real life know that I like making things for other people. I normally try not to be selfish or covet any one item. i do occasionally fawn over something- but i normally get over it and move onto liking something else I also try not to whine when I really want something and normally keep it to myself.
BUT THESE ARE SO AWESOME!!
They are some kitty ears that some japanese people made. But they apparently react to your brainwaves. they were made as a study to help people who cant move their bodies, move other pieces of equipment with their minds. But they had so start somewhere- so they made wiggling kitty ears so they could be sold as a fashion statement around the world... and all i could do was scream DO WANT NOW!!!!
They will be released in a few months for a few hundred dollars a pop. I may start making a fund for myself so I may own a pair.... Too much fun and want to pass up.
Check em out! If you dont believe me here is a news article:

Fruit n' Veggie Pack Info Update
Posted 14 years agoThis is just a little update about the commission status of the Fruit n' Veggie Packs. I'm just going to go in sections to make this easy for myself.
- Thank you everyone for being patient. I am sorry that I was, and am still, not ready to dive head-first into this. I appreciate you waiting for price quotes, and estimates. And I am sorry that it is not going faster. I am going back to college in less than a week and my life is currently not easy-going. I am trying to be mindful of all of you waiting, but I am also trying to make sure I do all of this close to right so it will cause less problems for me, and you, in the future. So thank you again everyone for lending your thoughts, your appreciations and your patience.
- The patterns for the Strawberry are completed! And the patterns for the Carrot are completed! Horray- at least I am on schedule with this. Other Fruits n' veggie patterns to come as time passes.
- Commissions may not start on time and may be held off until winter session where I will do a "batch". Which means I will take a locked-in number of commissions, and do them all at once. You rightfully should "boo" at me for this, but please hear my reasoning.
Why this might be happening:
- I am encountering problems with pricing these packs. And I would like some input if people will give it. At AC the average price people said they would pay (for a carrot pack) was $55. This means that I would only get $12 profit from every carrot pack(yes the materials cost that much, and strawberries cost even more). I am unhappy with this profit number considering how long labor takes. However, if I do a batch-run I could buy the materials in bulk, or in large amounts with coupons and therefore lower the materials price, make me happy and hopefully keep the price you pay reasonable, even if it may go up a bit from $55.
- The other reason I want to hold off a little bit more is because I have found there are options with the packs that could change the price up or down. Such as: Button seeds or painted seeds, straps or no straps, removable straps or permanent straps, bag or plushie, etc. I have been asked for a few weird combinations, and each would cost differently depending on what they wanted. I'm working on a order sheet that could help you place your order and see your options.
What I am most afraid of is that you- the awesome people who would like my packs- will get bored and mad at me for taking so much time. I know I would be frustrated with me, but I just dont want to do this wrong and end up in the hole because of it. I can hope all of you understand. This was a spontaneous idea that erupted at a convention, and I want to make the best of it. Thank you for being so patient. I will post updates as things proceed.

Toboe-chan92Taking a gamble on a purchase
Posted 14 years agoSoooo... for a long time I have been wanting to buy one of these "pets eye view digital cameras" Mostly for the fact that, when set properly, take random pictures.
Its suppose to be for your pet... but I think it would work for a on-the-go furry just as nice.
So they are normally about $50 because the company stopped producing them. I found one for under $30 with shipping. So I bought it.
Normally I would be elated, but I know that part of the reason this product was discontinued was that there were alot of faulty models. Either the things were wired backwards, the battery wouldn't charge, or there was a short in the USB.
For $30 I'm willing to change a stinking battery, re-wire, or change the USB.
I'm half excited- because if i get a good model I will have no problems and a Feh-feh cam will happen. And half terrified- because if i get a faulty one I get to play doctor with some of my friends. (the ones who know how to wire stuff.)
Either way- should be fun times one way or the other. I only worry about wasting $30 on something that has multiple problems. But I heard so many good reviews from the ones that worked right, that its hard to be completely pessimistic. I'm hoping i purchased $30 of fun and not $30 of fake spy cam.

Commission Status
Posted 14 years agoCommission Status:
This is a message that will be posted on Facebook, Google +, Deviantart, and all other art sites from which my commissions pull. From this point forward I am not taking any more costume commissions until sometime late next year. I know this is a shock and probably will cause some general upheaval as most of my friends love asking me to make things, and I love making things for them. If you are concerned about this, please read the whole thing. If your not, forget this existed and change your page. If you are in my theater troupe please see the section " what won’t be affected".
There are a few legitimate reasons for me to stop the commission flood now:
1. Most of my commission slots for costumes are filled or the positions are held/filled until around March 2012. All Halloween slots are full, all winter session slots are full, and a good bit of the spring too. I'm tired of telling people I'm full, and it makes me feel bad saying it too. So I’m just posting it flat out here.
2. On a few of these commissions that fill the slots I am either a few months or a FEW YEARS late. The few years one is a friend of mine who has been EXTREMELY patient with me with getting his fitted coat done. There is even a person who has been volleying for a slot for about 7 months now, but has never asked at the right moment. Well I'm reserving them one(and will be contacting them in a month or so). The people I am referring too have waited long enough and have put up with me getting ill, biting off more than I can chew, school coming first, and all my other excuses. There is even a wait list that I have not tended to, but I plan to speak with these individuals one-to-one and find out what they want and if I can accommodate them. Sorry all- they are getting priority.
3. As of next summer I am going to be de-stressing as much as possible. Why? Because in the fall I will be entering the gauntlet of my major. I will have a semester to basically go project-runway and make a whole line of clothes in the 3 months while keeping up with my schoolwork. Yeah. I'm half considering keeping a time clock just to see how long it takes. Either way, this means that I am capping my sewing project now, as opposed to January when someone will have a fantastic idea I’m sure and ill wear myself out.
4. Next summer I may be touring Grad-schools, or looking for a real job and while I would rather be sewing, its more important to my future right now to look at grad schools/ look for a real job. The sooner I stop the commissions the better.
Other things that will happen because of the commission stop:
1. The Nurse Joy Cosplay project is on hold. Possibly indefinitely. Otakon 2012 will have to live without a flock of Nurse Joys. Sorry all you Brocks. I don’t have the time; I no longer have the want. It was a cool idea but time constraints are time constraints.
2. I will not be making new Cosplay for myself this year/ for Otakon 2012. I am sorry to everyone who wanted me to be BT from .hacksign but I am dropping this notion right now. I just don’t like the character, and I would have nothing to do with the costume once it was done and worn. I have 4 active Cosplay costumes that I can wear to Otakon or other conventions in the future that are in great condition and quite frankly have not been worn enough. In my costume future- I will be doing fixing, finishing, and restoration on the 4 costumes in question. Not making more for my closet when I don’t want/don’t need them. Yes I could sell some of my costumes, but the 4 active ones are my best, the retired ones aren’t worth selling.
The only exception to this may be a silver knight grunt. I will already have made the armor once; if re-producing it is simple then I may do it again.
3. I will be running the fruit/vegetable packs on a trial run. I am making the patterns for Carrots and Strawberries hopefully in the next week or so. But my guess is once school kicks into crazy-mode I won’t want to make backpacks. There will probably be a test pool run during the winter moths since I wont have classes. Commissions will probably be taken just after Christmas, and then finished during January. If you are a person who is already on the list for before the end of September- don’t worry, your packs will happen.
What won’t be affected:
1. Theater productions will not be affected. I really want to costume one more show before I graduate, and I'm shooting for it in the spring. Well, I guess not shooting. But I’m hoping someone asks me so I can have my last hurrah before I leave. I do Theater because I love it. Please don’t disregard me as busy because of this piece. It’s mostly me saying I wont take any more on extracurricular. I have built time into my schedule for the Troupe. It actually gets priority over commissions during the school year.
2. Any previous commissions taken. Look- if you paid, or already on my list in my computer, you are set. If for some reason you think I have forgotten you- please email me and we will sort it out.
3. My tailoring. People like to ask me to fix small bits of their clothing. This is normally easy as pie, so continue to ask as long as you’re still willing to pay my minimal fees.
4. Consultations! I love helping people think-tank and normally this can be done over tea. I love doing this. So please don’t stop bothering me for ideas.
5. Collaboration help. If it is a TRUE collaboration, meaning you will pull the same effort and hours as me, and you want me to just be another set of hands to help work- I will consider helping you. I may say no, but for collaborations it does not hurt to ask.
I reserve my personal decision to:
1. Make stuff on the fly if I have time if I want to.
2. Make stuff for me if I want to. Ex.- I want to make myself a dress in the next year, and possibly a trench coat. Both projects could either be done, or be dropped like a hot potato.
3. What this means- don’t give me crap if I decide to do something random. I need it once in awhile to keep my head on straight.
Thank you all for understanding. I'm sorry this had to be done in such a listy-fashion. I just needed to lay it all out, and this is easiest way for me to do it. I love you all, I’m glad you all like having things I make. But I just need to shut this down for a while, for my own sanity and such.
Thank you

By the way- I dont know why but they are all in reverse order. I hate photo-bucket sometimes.

Carrotpack/ Veggiepack/ Fruitpack Commissions
Posted 14 years agoHello all!
It was AMAZING seeing so many people at Anthrocon. For the new friends it was great to meet you.
But I am writing this journal entry because I wore my Carrotpack to Anthrocon and everyone LOVED it. So much so that I gave away roughly 25 business cards as contact for a veggie packs of sorts. So I have decided to attempt to expand my fruit/vegetable bag selection, make solid patterns, and work out some of the bugs.
The plan is to have good patterns ready by the end of August, and open a commission list for the packs. Price will depend on fruit/vegetable, and I will probably complete 2 a month just because I will be in school and don't want to die/ have my grades slip.
I know this is a long time to wait for some, and you may think "Oh I may forget about that veggie/fruit pack I wanted". Well this is why I wrote the journal. If you were one of the really interested people who wanted a veggie pack- please leave a comment below, include what bag you were interested in(this just helps me prioritize patterns), and I will put you on a list below this post. When I am ready to take my first list of commissions I will send you a note on here to let you know I’m ready to take on commissions.
Bags I will be making permanent patterns for: Carrotpack, Strawberrypack, Pokeball pack, and hopefully Radishpack. Other suggestions are welcome.

Again it was really awesome to meet you all! I'm glad you like my work. Also- don't hesitate to PM me if you have big questions.
People I need to contact when things get rolling:

Posted 14 years agoContrary to popular belief- i have a livestream account. I just don't like using it.
But I realized, this semester, any and all sewing projects that are not for my Theater practicum will be done on my own time at odd hours. I thought maybe some of you would want to watch me work. Perhaps thats narcissist of me, but it would have multiple benefits. I hate IM, but the way livestream is set up i can talk and you guys type. So i can have conversations with a chat. It makes me happy, and probably will make a few other people happy.
It may also help with the question "how did you make that" Well watch me make it. :P :)
But yeah, I'm only going to do it if people are interested, so please let me know if you would be. I know i watch livestreams all the time, but i'm sure not everyone is quite as nutty as me in that respect.

The verdict of my strange addiction
Posted 14 years agoMy verdict:
The mom was overacting. This kid is fine. She is just a 19 year old who behaved like I did in high school. Wearing your costumes in public either for attention or just because you feel like it. She loved the reactions, so why not. Her family just overreacted and no one was choosing to take her side fully. When she did go to the psychiatrist they basically confirmed she has some body issues(what woman does not?) but that this is just a fun thing that she likes to do.
So i way over reacted. Even if my dad does see this show I'm about 85% positive that he will see that the mother is just overacting. The kid cant get a job because she is in college to appease her mother, and fursuiting is her hobby. La-de-da, she just needs to learn to balance it and she will be fine. What probably happened is the Mother was worried that this was too "not normal" so she called the TV station hoping the exposure would get her daughter to stop. Geeze, can't the mom think "at least its not (insert drug name here)" or something?
On a good note, the show did not rely on shock factor of furries. The dark side of the fandom was briefly mentioned in passing, but not elaborated on. Mostly centered around the girls feelings about the fandom, and how it made her happy.
all in all- i would say its the best score yet. I have to admit CSI was more entertaining though.

So i way over reacted. Even if my dad does see this show I'm about 85% positive that he will see that the mother is just overacting. The kid cant get a job because she is in college to appease her mother, and fursuiting is her hobby. La-de-da, she just needs to learn to balance it and she will be fine. What probably happened is the Mother was worried that this was too "not normal" so she called the TV station hoping the exposure would get her daughter to stop. Geeze, can't the mom think "at least its not (insert drug name here)" or something?
On a good note, the show did not rely on shock factor of furries. The dark side of the fandom was briefly mentioned in passing, but not elaborated on. Mostly centered around the girls feelings about the fandom, and how it made her happy.
all in all- i would say its the best score yet. I have to admit CSI was more entertaining though.
my strange addiciton pt2
Posted 14 years agoI have decided to not worry about this furry on my strange addiction until the show is over. My dad wont be home until its finished, so he wont see it until days later.
So I am going to be cliche and sew a tail while I watch. :3

Oh dear...
Posted 14 years agoThis is just a me worrying away, so if your not interested, just delete the journal no sweat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I normally dont make posts like this... but I think I may have to be strategic to get out of this one this time.
My parents enjoy watching "My strange addiction" on TLC. And of course the inevitable has happened- a fursuiter has shown up that is addicted to her fursuits. My dad saw the commercial and is already comparing me to that person. Now, my mom has sat through the explanation to furry, and said as long as it isn't hurting me, or anyone else, and a keep life priorities its perfectly fine. She has also said- dont tell your dad. Mostly because my dad likes to poke fun, and anyone who knows me IRL knows that... well... I dont take teasing well.
Basically I'm worried that they will watch this show and just draw parallels with me. Which means from now till I go back to school I will get crap. Even though for me fursuiting is just a fun hobby. An expensive fun hobby, but a hobby.
Narf... I'm just stressed due to the situation
Wednesday will come and go, and whatever happens happens. :P

What do you carry with you at all times?
You can never carry something at all times... but i guess my most often on my person object is my wallet.

Yesh, I am most certainly a cuddler. My problem is I am always afraid people will make more out of it... so unless i know that they understand that its totally mutual, and not a romantic thing- my full cuddling skills are hidden.
What would I find if I looked UNDER your bed?
about 20 issues of Shojo beat, my treasure box, 4 pairs of shoes (that need to be thrown out... they are "lawnmower shoes"), one dragon tail armature that is in the process of tweaking, a tissue box, a box of photos, and I think about a dozen candles all wrapped in plastic individually.
Who was the last person of the opposite sex you text messaged?

How are you feeling?
Happy and getting tired
Is something wrong right now?
Only the apprehension of Spanish 107 exam on friday and the possibility of my wisdom teeth getting taken out so close to my birthday that everyone will forget about my birthday....
Are you mad at someone?

Opinoins wanted for my first fullsuit.
Posted 14 years agoHello all,
I don’t write these often. I'm not very good at them... but I have come to a decision for a project I am doing this summer with my mentor
sonartoo . We will make me my first fullsuit. I want opinions on my thoughts about things about this suit.
NOTICE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO COMMISSIONED ME: THIS IS TAKING PLACE IN SUMMER. YOUR STUFF COMES FIRST!!! DON'T WORRY!
So- the thoughts:
I wanted something cute that I could play the character of easily. FehFeh is too hard a character to make right now and to do properly, Blair has a height issue that I cannot tackle yet and I need a hoof mold anyway, and Leah will always be a partial to me... mostly because the dye lot for her was obscure and I will never find it again. What I decided I wanted was a "Boat". For those that don’t know that is a Bunny-goat. I got this idea from the most recent suits of Donthugcati which are the "Boats" http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4719839/ . They are Bunny goats that look uncommonly to MixedCandy/Latinvixen Goats http://www.furaffinity.net/view/977765/ . But that’s nether neither here nor there.
I know- I’m ridiculous. But here is what I like: Rodents and hoofers. Boats are both. Boats are also renown for being ridiculously colored- the closest thing to a natural colored Boat was a dark leafy green. I would love to have a rainbow trail mix sparkle dog color scheme. I think it would be hysterical. And the fact is I will only be wearing this to cons and to bowling meets... so it’s just a funsuit.
What I am perplexed by is how to put my own spin on it. I like making semi-realistic suits, but if I do that it will take away a lot of the whimsical charm of the boat. I also do NOT want it to look exactly like the Donthugcati or the MixedCandy pieces... They are very good ideas, references, and wonderful suits. But I'm not seeking a knockoff, and plagiarism is serious.
So- 3 main things for opinions
1. Should I make the head toony or semi-realistic? I would like a moving jaw, but this may be a good one not to have it. My ratio of bunny- goat here is: Rabbit head shape and long hare ears (laid flat back, not loose), with large goat horns, goat eyes, and goat nose shape. The techno colors would also be in a goat-face fur pattern even though tis a bunny headshape.
2. Body ratios:
A: hoof paws, Hoof feet, Bunny tail, bunny body shape w/ upper chest protruding, and big thighs. Markings of a goat
B: Bunny paws, Hoof feet, Bunny tail, goat belly (cute chub-fluff) and goat legs. Markings of a goat.
C: Different concoction? Only things I want constant are the hoof feets, and bunny tail. Otherwise- you have a better idea?
3. Other thoughts- do you have them? Do you think it stupid, cute, other? Think its a good choice/bad? Got a better idea?
Please do let me know. I'm almost solid right now, but opinions never hurt.
thanks!
Thanks!

Dragon tail
Posted 15 years agoHi to anyone who reads this.
i know a couple of you are still waiting for updates on that articulated dragon tail i was making... So i have some explaining to do.
The first tail was a bit more than an epic failure. It just didnt swing right, was not made right, and never was finished completely so nothing of it was posted beyond its skeletal structre.
Since- I have been asked to make a second one for a dragon friend. I made another tail and it was much much better. It fit much better, swung better, and was made better because I had messed it up once before. You keep learning right? But we covered it today and its not swinging as freely as i had hoped. It still swings well, but probably only a bit more than a stuffed tail would. There will be pictures, but the ones I gleaned today just dont do it justice. Mostly due to bad lighting, and we accidentally put the tail on at the wrong height so it looked really silly. There will be pictures, just later when its attached to the suit and will look much better.
All in all i realize- articulated tails are great and yes they add a bit of swing to the costume and rack a few points on the destructo-meter, but plush tails are more my thing... lets lay off this armature for awhile. as for my dragon friend, if you see him at Antro con, watch out for his tail, it can knock you down! (so serious. Its still epic even if i realize its not the #1 thing for me to make)

blather about learning and hypothesis and qustions about how
Posted 15 years agoDont care if no one reads these, its an appropriate place to blather.
... So i have been brainstorming since my winter class where i learned to make theatrical masks. Since then I learned a few things aobout the masks i was making. Turns out the dragon mask with the moving jaw has what is called is called an "articulated Jaw" which occurs when a persons chin sits right on the jaw and with every little push it moves. its also not attached to the mask. Its the best for talking suits. Encorporation of this those seems to be a hit-or-miss with many people as having the jaw totally separate can cause problems, also it means that you must have a rig for the jaw's elastic to be attached to on the crown of the head. for my class we used buckrem, but i know this would be impratical for fursuit heads as we sometimes jam them on and off so often(hence why dragon has to be put on very carefully- you can tear the buckrem if your not careful). So this leads me to my musings:
This spring i'm planning to plaster cast 3/4 of my head with a friends help and make myself a plaster head replica (my freind kyle is totally geared for it). I want to experiment with sculpting, casting, and plastic resins. It may take a bit from my wallet, but I'm hoping that it wont cost me more than $200 to have my first go with the idea. Worst comes to worst, i sell whats leftover to a friend, or put it on kregs list, and eat the failure. If it does work, i plan to follow Qarrezel's tutorial that I found on her DA site for resin casting masks. I want to try this because i'm alot better at sculpting with a forgiving medium such as clay (or plasti clay) rather than something as unforgiving as foam. Trust me I love my foam, but the precision that clay can give you is amazing.
The lumps in the road: Qarrezel's masks are hinged, and just when i thought i had figured them out, nope. Nada. FUBAR idea. Then i ran into a Beastcub idea about how to adujst your jaw to make it fit better. She also explained about articulated jaws and how they work(so now i know dragon is articulated, but does not work well) This amused me and made me think if it were worth to try and make an articulated jaw... but with Qarrezel's casting method... I mean, i could easily just double cast a head and try one each way, but there are still other logistics to think about.
For the articulated jaw- how do i add an extension to the mask on the top of the head so i can attach the elastic at the crown? Do i buy a few yammakas and sew the elastic to that? can a yammaka be secured to fur once its draped on? Is it sacriligous to use yammakas like that? I dunno i'm not jewish... is it possible to resin cast that far back on the crown but not have it be like a plastic helmet? Would i like it to be a plastic helmet? If i just attached the elastic to the ear bases would that work? or would the ears end up sliding forward? what if i only sculpt the mask to the ears and then stop... does that equal half-helmet?
For the hinged jaw- how much calibration does that take? should the jaw still be saparate? where do i attach the elastic so your maw, so it isnt hanging open? It wont move as well as the articuated, but is there a way to make it the best it can be? (ive done it once with a sewing card base, but it was a lucky stroke) Do you have to oil the hinge? can you buy pre made hinges? is that cheating? I know these masks are attached with a upsidown Y strap on the head keeping it fully secure to teh wearer, but is that adjustable? how do you make horns stand up on something like that? How do you make the horns detachable. If the elastic breaks in your maw do you go slackjawed, or does the other one make it a bit more failsafe? Do you screw the hinge in with powertools or do you glue it? How far do you extend it behind the jaw for max movement?
And on and on and on....
I would just use the method that sprit taught me while apprenticing to her, but i feel that is rather a copout. I mean, i love her idea to pieces, but if i ever start making my own heads, i'm going to have to make my own formula wont i? I cant steal her ideas- thats mean. I can use them, but i could never sell a head with her design, i would feel guilty.
So yeah, this is what goes on in my mind. If you have sat through this brain-spew till now- congrats. I cannot wait till the semesters over so i can let the shenanagains being... though in all reality they probably wont begin until mid july/late august...
big thoughts... tiny hedgehog.

If i just attached the elastic to the ear bases would that work? or would the ears end up sliding forward? what if i only sculpt the mask to the ears and then stop... does that equal half-helmet?
For the hinged jaw- how much calibration does that take? should the jaw still be saparate? where do i attach the elastic so your maw, so it isnt hanging open? It wont move as well as the articuated, but is there a way to make it the best it can be? (ive done it once with a sewing card base, but it was a lucky stroke) Do you have to oil the hinge? can you buy pre made hinges? is that cheating? I know these masks are attached with a upsidown Y strap on the head keeping it fully secure to teh wearer, but is that adjustable? how do you make horns stand up on something like that? How do you make the horns detachable. If the elastic breaks in your maw do you go slackjawed, or does the other one make it a bit more failsafe? Do you screw the hinge in with powertools or do you glue it? How far do you extend it behind the jaw for max movement?
And on and on and on....
I would just use the method that sprit taught me while apprenticing to her, but i feel that is rather a copout. I mean, i love her idea to pieces, but if i ever start making my own heads, i'm going to have to make my own formula wont i? I cant steal her ideas- thats mean. I can use them, but i could never sell a head with her design, i would feel guilty.
So yeah, this is what goes on in my mind. If you have sat through this brain-spew till now- congrats. I cannot wait till the semesters over so i can let the shenanagains being... though in all reality they probably wont begin until mid july/late august...
big thoughts... tiny hedgehog.

skinny fur
Posted 16 years agoI had a thought a minute ago about fursuiters.
Me an a couple of furs i know agree that its not exactly cool all the time for fursuiters to wear clothes... mostly is becasue fur is epic by itself and if your wearing clothes we think you may be hiding attributes of your suit that are NSFW or anywhere else.
Well i can haz thought. SuperDUPER skinny furs i think i would like them to wear clothes. I hate to say it... but when you look normal human without fursuit thin in your fursuit... it grosses me out, and those are the fursuiters i wish would wear clothes over their fursuits anyway- just to add some bulk.
I do realize i am calling the kettle black because i'm a little twig. And if i ever get a fursuit of FehFeh or otherwise, i do intend to pad it some if i seem to tiny even with it on(i'm hoping it will make me look beautifully fluffy though).
I hope i'm not too harsh... but seeing an anorexic fursuiter is worse for me than seeing an anorexic person live. I like my Fursuiters fluffy in build.. Please!!

Thrilled by webcomic... and another Hedgehog
Posted 16 years agoWell, so after my excursion to Otakon i went through all the buisness cards i picked up along the way. I found this EPIC webcomic called "Kevin and Kell". http://www.kevinandkell.com/ Its an anthropormorphic webcomic about a rabbit(kevin) who marries a wolf(kell), and about the rest of their family. I happen to love the story very much, espeically since i has been running since 1995 so there are manymany comics to read before I catch up. The thing i love most is that there is actually a Hedgehog!!! Her name is Lindesfarne, and i love her as a witty character! Of course you know I have a (slight) bias, being a hedgehog furry myself, but she is acutally the first hedgehog character in the media i have found besides Sonic. And she is actually cool! >dances< It pleases me very much, and the webcomic is written simply, but with enough plot to have kept it going for 13 years. Yaaaaaaaaaaay!! :D
Sorry, felt like i should let people know... but i bet some of you already read Kevin and Kell. :P XD

Yiff The Musical - A Furry Musical
Posted 16 years agoSo, I dont normally write Journals and stuff, but I've been keeping tabs on this one Furry Musical that you can watch on YouTube. Its known as Yiff the Musical. While this title would normally seem like a negative connotation, i actually found it mildly hilarious as the writers of this musical poke fun at the stereotypes set about furries, and not just stuff about the porn and sexual crap (though they still ripped on that too)! They totally went out on so many things and put it in a comical, rather than offensive, light. It was just so overblown i found it hilarious. But maybe i just have an odd sense of humor.
So- have you seen it?
If so- what do you think? I would enjoy talking with someone else who has seen it to get their opinion... even if they hated it.
Does anyone know if they sell soundtracks?
:3
