So a month or so ago, I was tooling around FA looking at cool cat art and came across a white puma's page. He had a 6 month old post saying that he had a  firestormsix partial for sale. On a whim, I shot him a note asking if he still had it. 4 days later it was in my hands. It is 6 years old but his original owner barely wore him. It seemed to be brand new condition.

I asked for FS6' permission to alter his work and it was granted so within the same day, I pretty much cut the face off with the ears, attached it to one of my martial arts headgear bases then slapped a mane and neck on it. I didn't change or add one thing about the face, muzzle or eyes. I then finished the rest of the suit in my spare time.

in 2009, I absolutely loved how FS6 did their eyes. a bit of a sunken in, 3D look to them. I became obsessed with figuring out how they worked, what they were made from... how to make it happen. I was making suits part time then and there was a lot of trial and error happening... a lot of crap went in the trash. By about 2012, I finally figured out how not to make the eyes look hella crosseyed. He and I met at MFF one year and exchanged info on what materials we used to make the eyes. Its interesting how we don't use any similar materials or techniques for them... I got a bit of a chuckle out of it.

FS6 is one of my favorite fursuit makers and I am extremely happy to be able to have some of his art in my possession.
