My progress in 5 years of fursuit building. My first fursuit was made in 2011 and my most recent one in 2016.
This shows that progress has nothing to do with talent, only with practise. Practise does not make perfect, but it can get you at least close :)

So to everyone out there wanting to build suits, just go for it! Everyone starts somewhere and sure, your first fursuit won't look as good. But at least you made something not everyone can do. You did something to be proud of. And maybe, just maybe, when you keep building and practise, you'll get better and become a great maker.

Go for it! :D
