So it's been a little more then a year since the Flux suit has been out there, and I'm still overjoyed at the reception it has received. The Flux suit has undergone some revisions as I've learned more about building suits, and I've also been able to secure some much better photos.
As to what was revised, new tail, new footpaws, the tail is attached differently, and zipper was moved from the back.
Below I will be collecting any link/references to the Flux suit that shows the most recent version of the suit. If anyone knows of any that are not here, PM me and I'll be sure to add it.

F.A.Q.
- Flux is not a Crux, he is a kangaroo >.<
- Flux is not a Soda Roo, though there might be a Flux soda on the way :D
- As a male kangaroo he does not have a pouch, though he might envy them >>
- No, he will not squeek for you... maybe o.o
- Squeek! ^^

To be honest the reason I think this suit looks SO good is because of it's aesthetics. You solved a problem I have with most fur suits and that is generally they are top heavy (especially when they are toony with the big cartoon eyes and head). He is stream lined with his ears, and the tail and legs help add a bit more weight to the bottom of the suit making it all look really good together.
Not to mention your mannerisms while in suit also make you a star. Your mischievous, cute, and very alive in the suit.

It's really cool to hear opinions like this, allowing me much more to see what people think of the suit and the choices I end up making.
Yeah, making the head smaller was a big decision when I originally set out to make the suit. There are a lot of superb suit makers out there, so I took my time finding what I liked best about each one, trying to come up with a style that I liked best. It's been an adventure trying to figure out what works and what doesn't, a lot of which I could have only learned through first hand experience. I hope that I'm able to continue this trend and end up making a family of suits that people can enjoy as much as I have mine ^^
As far as acting in suit, totally! When your in suit you instantly gain this ability to act funny, create situations, in hope of putting smiles on peoples faces. Sure it takes a lot out of me, but it's totally worth it.
Thanks for your thoughts!

Indeed I do, though there are no slots open at the moment. It takes me way too long to make them and I don't want to overwhelm myself. Shoot me an e-mail to influxstudios[at]gmail.com and I'll be sure to contact you back when there are openings ^^
Yes! :D A burgundy and cream colored one. I'm starting on the head this weekend ^w^ with Sways/Uhighlander. I have noticed. It's thanks to the sodaroo thing now D; A lot of people are making designs... but I really doubt many will be make into suits so I think the roos will be safe for the most part XD
I do love the sodaroos. Mine is technically one. Black cherry creamsoda xD http://i43.tinypic.com/2jga4d1.jpg its a horrible picture ;w; But the darker shading is black, the lighter shading is going to be distinctivefabrics burgundy, and the area without any shading is going to be DF's beige since it looks kind of creamy colored. I know Sways is going to make her sodaroo too.
Yeah >> The old feet needed redoing for a number of reasons, but when I really went back and looked at the old ones I realized they didn't match very well. One of these days I might actually add the footclaws as well, bad timing always seems to prevent this. *gives you a big roo hug* :3
*chuckles* The artist is always his own worst critic, or at least I think it should be that way. There was a few things that annoyed me to no end, both visually and functionally, so with a little bit of time I took the initiative to fix it. I appreciate your complements. ^^
Hehehe, thanks for the complement. The moveable jaw I made was based off of a Matrices tutorial that can be found at this link.

You know, I've never been a fan of fursuits. Just never found the appeal in them. But YOURS is the first one that I absolutely adore. I freak out every time I see it. It's so inventive and unique and amazingly adorable! I'm always looking out for it, as it's my personal favorite.
Awe ^^ It makes me all mushy to hear something like that. I admit, when I was first getting into the fandom I didn't likes suits at all, I thought they looked creepy and kinda jossled me in the wrong way. It was those thoughts that really made me spend as much time as I did with the Flux suit, because I didn't want to end up with something creepy.
Thanks for the complement and feel free to say hai! if you see me at a con!

I've been looking at videos of Flux on YouTube for a while now and I have got to say, no matter how often I see those videos he is still the most adorable and entertaining suit I have EVER seen!
His body shape, the face and ears, those cute big feet and the colors all just work so well together! His head isn't grossly oversized like most suits I see, and the bodysuit fits so well and is so wonderfully made!
Plus the fur makes him look so fluffy and huggable and as a big girly-girl who's into cute fluffy things that's a good few extra win-points there. ;w; And the squeaker is just the icing on the cake!
Hopefully someday I'll have enough to travel to a con and see this suit in-person! (As well as afford my own suit xD) <3 You did such an amazing job!

Hehehe, thank! ^^ As far as the fur color goes, I got the bulk of the fur when I was in the LA Fasion district, but I was able to find a match to it on fabrics.com. I have done commissions yes, though at the moment I'm closed for them as I'm still working on ones I took on >.<
Awe thank you! As time goes on I will continue to revise the suit, fixing all those little details that I think I needed. Hopefully soon here I can get some photos up of the whole suit with the new head ^^
As far as the fur, it's the standard aqua/turquoise shag that you can find at sites like fabrics.com or distinctivefabric.com.

HEy fluxy its me agian :D!! soo many comments whooo wee took me awhile to get to the Reply box XD* but ima ok XD lovin the new look even though this is a very late response XD *kinda already knew about your new look* just never commited this pix sooo yeah XD the other head is in retirement now * had to split the head to get a new head XD
It makes me happy that people have felt that way about Flux. We are all here to have fun and smile a bit more. :D I'm just sad I haven't had as much time lately to focus on suiting related stuff.
When you open up again I'm actually going to ask for a Flux head base. It's been high time I updated the suit and I think your style will work out great. As I said before, the quality of stuff you are coming out with looks fantastic, totally keep up the good work. ^^
