Blood Raven - Full Fursuit.
Here's Raven, complete with new hand and feet paws, and a two-piece body, featuring chest muscles that mask my gender and digitigrade legs! Additionally, the feet paws boost my height by five inches (they're built on platform boots) and have to be zipped into. The head now also has a nice little set of front teeth added in. :)

whoa, the third/right-most picture... the reflection on your conbadge is tripping me the fuck out, i'm like "what the hell is there a hole in his hip D: D:"
did you make this? it's excellent! (i'm really curious to see the construction on the feets, what a great idea - especially since i'm so friggin short ...)

Yes, I did make Raven, and thank you! He was my second fursuit ever, first full suit, and I was very pleased with how he turned out. :)
The feet weren't especially tricky - I built them the same way I build any feet paws, just on 5" platform boots I picked up at the thrift store instead of tennis shoes. :) You essentially glue a "hoof" of foam onto the tip of the boot and carve it down to get the toe-shape you want. I then covered the whole thing in packing tape to make a pattern, which ended up being eight pieces per boot. The boots themselves were the kind with a zipper up the side, so I had to install zippers into to fur as well. They get uncomfortable to walk in after long periods, but otherwise, I love them and how they turned out. I often wear them without the rest of the suit, just out and about, ahahaa.

it is a very good suit, and especially impressive for only your second! especially the body. excellent work!
*lol* just picturing someone out randomly stomping around in big ol' wolf-boots... rock on. XD
thanks! i'll have to keep an eye out for some cheap platforms or something, i wouldn't have thought something like that would look so good with the feets finished.

Thankie. :D And that of course makes my Mal suit my third... aaand I have a fourth and a fifth underway as well, whoo! Fursuit madness. A partial for my mate and another full suit for myself. After that I have no particular plans - I'll probably open up for commissions. Making another Firefly-related suit would be funa s well, though. (:
