good times!

I adore your suit, I must say. :D

:D yaaaaaay, looking good! *glomp*

Your suit is great not so big and fat like other ones ^^ *and oryx = *

Indeed. Suits like that always look so much more, I guess, authentic, and like more effort was put into it, rather than just a one-size-fits-all pattern.

skin tight or really close fitting suits are not that easy to pull off and usally the one size fits all as you put it is not true. alot of work gos into making a body suit more then you would think even if it is not form fitting

Oops, I didn't mean it like that. I mostly meant that the suits that someone uses a pattern for, that have a lot of extra loose fabric on, don't look as good as the fitted suits. I'm not saying that there's no effort involved in making ones that aren't tightly fitted, but it seems to me to be a sign of workmanship to have a suit that's more form-fitting rather than one that's baggy.

I made my own partial years ago, I remember how annoying it can be to get it tightly fitted.

also i wish i could have a form fitting suit and wile i have a grandmother and a mother that could help me achieve the suit i am in no shape to wear a form fitting suit so mine is as close as i feel comfortable doing as i am a chubby person irl so its not always a case of they just didn't put the effort into it its that they just dont feel comfortable in doing one so tight. as well as the pattern i made mine with said extra large which i am. but when all was said and done it litterly could fit me and my two friends who are both extra small lol so yeah it was huge and i did make it into a more loose but some what fitting to me suit with my moms help. i will here in a wile upload the full fursuit pictures of cotton candy. there on my face book but i havent had net access in a long ass time and enfough time to be able to put them here ^.^;;; *hugs* sorry for jumping your case its just that for me at least and maybe others a form fitting suit is not always possible.

It's not a matter of workmanship, but as you can imagine someone making a suit in Florida commissioned by someone in California, it would be a bit hard to get exact measurements for EVERYTHING

While that can be true, I've known a few artists who have their ways of coming very close. Detailed measurement worksheets, duct tape body casts, and that sort of thing.

hahaha, fursuits freak me out a little bit. I think id be more comforable wearing one if it was a fitting suit XD

love it....

V.

Always loved your suit. :)

I'll have to get my picture taken with you at the very least! <3

That's great! Very nice suit. :)

I heard that you had a fursuit at Anthrocon, I didn't know it looked THAT neat! Did you have any problems walking through doorways with those horns I wonder?

I did have to tilt my head a bit to not brush doorframes and hanging exit signs :P The hallways like this one pictured here are actually really low, the tips of my horns were just about brushing the ceiling tiles.

Fffff, your fursuit is friggen awesome, dude. :D
I hope to see that at FurFright.

You shall, if fate allows! I want to do lots of suiting. You can get a picture with me <3

FFFF :DD

Cuteness all around, GAH I love your suit so much! One of these days I must see it in person XD

One of these days it'll happen :P I'm still pissed at myself for forgetting the hands and feet for AC. Man, that was lame.

As someone who has a fur-suit phobia, I must say I'm not only undaunted by your suit, but find it faintly attractive.

That's a great compliment! Thanks a bunch.

haha i had no idea you were in that suit XD i gotta says yours was pretty fucking epic there

Thanks :3
It's still no substitute for being a real animal-person, but... it's the best i can do with the technology available. :P

lol XD well the technology is getting there slowly but surely

i want a real tail. ;_____;

dont we all

Adorable Oryx!
You guys look like you're having fun

It was much fun!

Was a lot of fun hanging out at RF, glad to see you could make it ^..^

It was worth the expense for sure. Hopefully i'll be there next year!

Dude man, I needs me a suit like yours... I'm not saying RIGHT NOW, but yes, yes I do.

I've probably said this at least FIVE times before! LOL

I reckon it's a repeat, but that's okay :D repetition adds emphasis to statements!

Another reason I say this is because a lot of fursuits seem generally "bulky". It probably has to do with the excess material around the midsection. Yours on the other hand seems far more form-fitting as I'm sure you've said before.

My point is, for my actually body type AND my fursona's body type, a more form-fitting suit would be far more appropriate. Wouldn't you agree?

Yes! Gazelles are slender. If you can pull that off it will look all the more gazelle-ish!

Do you think anyone would make suits like that I would I be basically limited to making my own in that case?

And yes, I DO think I could pull that off... if I had one of course.

It can be done by others if you are able to make a pretty accurate duct-tape dummy of yourself for them to work with. *nods*

Awesome suit! You look very pretty

Arrgggg your suit was so pretty! And Savi's Evee was precious ;_;! Epicwangs eyes really POPPED out of their suit too <3.

nifty suit. it's one of the more realistic looking ones i've seen

Nice Tripple compilation, was this taken in a hallway on EF?

The hallway at RF... still have not been to EF, sadly :-/

oh, ok what a shame, please let me know, when you plan to go there one day. I really want to meet you personally

Hopefully next year! I'll definitely post a journal on here about it if i do get to go.

Yer suit is very smooth and sexy EC

Your Beisa the oryx costume is very attractive.

Thanks! I'm pleased that i didn't accidentally make a monster.

You you you you you
I want to suit hang with you so badly F: 'cause your suit is awesome.

It'd be great to suit with you next AC! But even if you don't have one yet by then, we still ought ot hang out or something :D

:D And we can hug!

I want a picture with your suit T_T

omg its savannahpants yay! btw I love your costume EC how did you make the head? maybe PM me? ive been having trouble creating my own heads, Im trying to make them with moving jaws, but I love the faial shape of yur mask and the shape of the ears, its very proportionate too. How do you transport the head? do the horns detach?

Thanks a lot! <3

Let's see... (omg, lots o' questions :P)
I made the head using a base shape made out of cardboard and wire (coat-hangers), then i glued on foam until the shape looked adequate... then i applied pieces of felt/fur until it was totally covered. It has a lot of seams, and there's no stitching in the head at all.
I didn't try an articulated jaw this time around, so i have yet to have any experience with that.
The ears were made using taxidermy forms - however, i had to cut and alter the plastic ears quite a bit because i didn't like the shape, so it kind of nullifies the pre-made pieces. The eyes are glass taxidermy eyes set in rubber holders that i painted black to look like skin. All ordered online.

The horns don't detach, but they are each made around a bendable wire, so i can bend them a little if i need to, which i did... i found a hard suitcase that i can just barely fit the head in, when i bend the ends of the horns down. Then i pad it with the other soft fursuit parts and some clothes. It worked well!

wow thanks :) you did and awesome job :)

not trying to be mean but damn.. ecmajor looks more feminine than both of you XD

It's all about the panties! *Mirth!*

Like someone said above, I'm downright terrified if not completely phobic of 99.999% of people in any sort of fursuit (or clownsuit for that matter). But that oryx is actually really really beautiful. What a wonderful job!

Thanks a lot! It's very satisfying to hear comments like yours.

You guys look adorable all together! It was fun to see your suit in person. So much nice detail!

Your suit is stunning dude

I'm so freakin pissed I couldn't make it to Rainfurrest. Grrrrrr

*makes with the pouty, lower lip quivering*
but...but i took that picture ;_;

That's an adorable oryx!
