Some pointers on buying a fursuit
General | Posted 8 years agoHi guys! Just doing a small journal based on my journey to getting a fursuit!
So, I decided after a few cons and trying on a partial that I wanted a suit. I decided to choose Lemonbrat since I had bought items from them before, and they have been high quality. If you decide to get a fursuit, do some research first! You want a reputable maker. Make sure to do a Duct Tape Dummy (DtD) to get a better measurement of your body. If you are unsure of a certain measurement that the fursuit maker asks for, ask them to specify, and round up in terms of sizing, not down. Your body might fill out more over time, and its better to have a suit that is looser for things like cooling vests than a suit that is practically skin tight!
If I were you, I would do a payment plan and not pay out all at once for the suit, just so you don't go all in if they flake out. Don't be afraid to chat with the fursuit maker, and give them details you think may be relevant. Even AFTER you get your suit, make sure to do a follow up email- mine came out a little tight and LB has been really good about getting back to me on any questions I have. Overall, I can't wait for cons this year, and couldn't be happier with my suit. Hope this helps potential buyers!

A reminder to back up your art to the cloud
General | Posted 9 years agoI recently had to wipe my version of windows after a hardware change messed up my UEFI (BIOS). Everything on my SSD was wiped, thankfully my HDD was intact, because it had all my games on it, but also my commissioned art! I could have lost some art, and only now remembered to upload it and back up some of my stuff to the cloud, or places like FA. Remember to back up your favorite stuff to external places, in case something happens to your phone/PC!
