That is cool there. And, wow..talk about in the water there Beetle.

Well thats one way to bleach your fur

Woah! How did it fare in the water...? And, oh noes! Your head was beginning to fall off there..!

Yeah XD Right after this we rushed back to the car so I could take it off - the foam of the head had actually started separating/ripping from the helmet inside the head. Just from all my activity and bouncing. I'm remaking it much more secure now.

LOVE that suit!, did you worry about the water ruining the suit at all?

Not really. Though it only occurred to me *after* I got out that my forelegs are made of cardboard lol.

oh nooosss

I didnt know you could get fursuits and such wet, especially in cloriene (sp). I saw youtube vids of fursuits swimming in a pool. Doesnt that ruin them? :/

I wouldn't recommend it if you didn't build your own suit from scratch :D And if you use any hot glue you can consider that part of the suit gone as hot glue and water hate each other with a passion.

Aside from knowing what kinda of stress I can probably put him through based on what materials I used and how I built him, if I ruin something I can always just rebuild it later. In this case I basically just lost most of his body airbrushing - though that was less the swim and more the washer cycle I put the suit through after.

That is the -best- part of making your own suits, you get to go abuse them and stress test ^^

well thats nice to know you can rebuild parts of him, he is a beautiful creature :)

Hahaha, awesome :3 I remember clomping through some puddles once in an olllld monster suit

Ah it's really amazing how much water foam will absorb and how heavy it gets!!!!

You so crazy lmao. But it was worth it for that video(PS you can make foamwatersafe by giving it a thin paint-covering of latex before you fur it! I made some 'waterproof' digitigrade a while back. It worked pretty OK except the fur still gets heavy and skanky.

Haha what's awesome is that right before this event I went and remade all of Toby's padding with open cell foam :D The idea was to make him cooler to wear, but as a nice side effect the padding did not absorb any water at all.

Though, the forelegs stilts are closed on the bottom and hollow inside so they filled up with water right to my knuckles XD They were *so* heavy that after I got out I had to contort them upside down to dump all the water out XD

Crazy beatle cat head thing!

isn't that bad for the suit? O__o

._.

I read these comments and see you're fine with what you did, but I was HORRIFIED that your suit would be damaged the whole time I watched that video xD

But all is well so I'll relax. xD

Looks fun ^ ^

LOL. Blackwolf vomited rainbow all over my icon xD

Oh wow i would have thought the cloreen would have stuffed the fur

First RedXIII's feet and now this? What is it with you and fursuits in the water?

Are we going to see the first full swim-suits from you? (sorry Leela, you and Kamadan cheat with your partials )

Water Beetle.... 'nuff said. Lawls

wow i think i just had a heartattack! i wouldnt take my fursuit anywhere near the water!!!
