One of these days, need to see your suits at a convention!

One of these days, there needs to be a conveniently close convention for me to go to >.< ... I can keep dreaming...

+1 to that SK!
looks fantacular Master Fluff

Wow, boy, you have a nice figure going on under that suit! It compliments the whole costume! It's very appealing, actually! You make a pretty umbreon! I like the profile of your head. It's not completely the actual cartoon, but it's YOURS and you owned it like a boss!

Thanks!

Hehe, right on the snout; I took the fact that the official media is inherently somewhat stylized, and worked with it in a way I thought would look nice in this anthropomorphized form with my head shape, hence the differences.

You nailed it, I must say. It really does look good. It's your style. I'd love to make more suits to find out my consistency. Every suit maker has a "look" about their suits. I don't think you get a feel for your own work until you've made quite a few and you settle in with your preferred techniques. Then your style comes from that. I'm so curious to know what a series of suits I make would look like, but I have no money to build more, lol. Tis a shame, makes me sad.

Yep - it takes a number of fursuits before you begin settling in with methods and a style you like, though even then its mutable, especially in my case where I'm continually working on experimenting and developing new techniques (though I end up reinventing plenty of wheels; I don't use tutorials - I have a hard time learning like that, I prefer to simply figure out and design things on my own.)

Tutorials are gold for me. I get so flustered I don't really know how or what to do to fix something. I like to know what works for sure to lessen the stress, lol. But I agree, it might be several years of developing your preferred style. I know I want more realistic-looking masks, but not completely realistic. I want kind of a fantasy/realism to them. Stylized, I guess might be a good word. My goal is to match the essence and profile of my concept art. I want my masks to be the physical manifestation of my concepts and have the same jawline, curves, ear shape and what not to my concept art. I also know, it's not so easy to get that and it might not be necessary, but I want to try.

He's so cute ^_^ *pets+hugs

I want something like this someday

This is completely adorable and amazing. Kinda want an umbreon suit myself now
