I've come across a couple in my time ....... though we mainly get scaleys on here!

A lot of fursuits creep me out. Mostly the hyper-cartoony ones...  As a kid, I couldn't stand people in those furry mascot costumes, I still get uncomfortable around them... :/ So I'm not a big fan of the Furry-subculture, a lot of things about it weird me out... xD
BUT, from a costumer/tailor/animatronic/puppetry point of view, I think there are some very cool ideas and very talented people. I've seen  a very cool Epona Quad-suit (from the Legend of Zelda) And there's this amazing artist who makes very lifelike animal masks! (that even move!)

[Crewella]

Wow - those are fabulous! 

[MariaOcean]

I know about them!

[Comarorobotcollector]

how so?

[Willow]

Wow!  What a coincidence.  O.o  I'm actually a furry, I've been one for a while and draw anthropomorphic art.  I also have a fursuit currently in the works from a great fursuiter.    The furry fandom is a really fantastic community.

[Crewella]

Oh no - there are furry pockets everywhere!

I actually used have to my own fur suit.   They are really costly but you get a whole bunch of rewards and things:
Contests
Parties
Your on TV!


This was a time when my family had some money and my friends and I would go out to comicon and all sorts of places.
I'll put a picture of my suit in the gallery some time.

[AshWolFF]

Hey I can give you a link directly to a person who made my fursuit.

They can give you steps to make one. 

They can also tell you what type of fur to use.

I bought my entire fursuit for $520

Tell your mother not to be a hater it is rewarding and is actually done in a lot of places other than America.
Japan, China, Europe ETC. 

I will post the link next.

These be the masters. 

I wouldn't suggest buying from them since they are extremely pricey but I would suggest getting
helpful tips from them.

How do you become a furry ?

[Willow]

It's not like there's some initiation, you're automatically a furry if you enjoy anthro art (animal-people artwork) or enjoy making fursuits or if you like anything associated with anthropomorphic stuff in general.  It's not a big deal at all, it's just a hobby.    I really enjoy being in the fandom, it's a great hobby.  

[MariaOcean]

cool ,I write graphic novels with talking animals all the time. I heard that Kage is a roach

[Willow]

Yeah, some people have some pretty interesting fursonas.  (A fursona is pretty much your persona but in anthro form).  My fursona is a barn owl-coyote hybrid, she's my icon. 

[AshWolFF]

Check it out. My own handdrawn fursona 

I love drawing and hope to get a degree in graphic design.

Beautifully drawn - I think it works as it is, anyway, without the colour.
