Fursuits

[Anonymous No.10381669]

Its really easy to fuck up a fursuit and the lines between cute and uncanny, unique and obnoxious can easily be crossed; unforunately, the fandom wanting to be as accepting as it is, refuse to tell people that their suits are creepy, ugly or whatever

What are some tips for making an appealing design?

Less is more. Most fursuits that are ugly in my opinion have too many colors, which also clash most of the time. Learn2color theory and stick with a main color (preferably something neutral) and only one or two accent colors.
Additionally, a lot of ugly fursuits have overly complicated patterns on the fur. If your fursona already has unique face markings, they don't also need 500 swirls or on their fur and rainbow paws, etc.

I'm not a maker, but I am an artist. I think the biggest thing for me is colour theory. Since makers generally do custom suits for clients, their suits are only as good as the design, some fugly designs will look bad even with expert craftsmanship.

Unless it's a resin head or a kemono suit, you can't go wrong with big toony eyes. Making them have highlights and lowlights and the illusion of a shine really helps, I think eyes are a huge part of what makes a suit cute or uncanny

Your best bet will be adding holes hidden under the ears (like ear canals) for alternative ventilation. Atelier Amanojaku has a decent gallery on their chinese website, a lot of their suits have a closed mouth.

people just like having a group to hate and blame everything on. The furry community is a little better than the cosplay community, and infinitely better than the lolita community.
Furries are very nice for the most part. You don't see much bullying in the furry community unless someone actually did something bad. You wear some socks that are slightly the wrong shade of color in the lolita community, and they will push you to suicide.

My experience with the furry community is it's hyper permissive, to the extent that people do stuff thats fucked up and harmful, and you become the bad guy for calling them out on it.

Which is a pity because most furs I've known have been kinda cool, I've not really skirted the drain of the community for a while though, all the places I used to hang out have died, and I'm not willing to splash that particular hobby across facebook where my local group seems to have moved to.

There isn't one. At the very best fursuits look like mascots, and you're going to wear yours neither in a stadium nor a theme park. The cartoony style people go for isn't cute or pretty either. You look weird, act weird, and in addition people can't identify you which alarms them further.

>laughing at bad fursuits
you missed the point. this thread and cosplay threads will laugh at *bad* costumes. Ita threads laugh at any lolita who isn't a perfect 10/10, and not only laugh at them, but bully them for not being perfect.
I'm very deep in the cosplay, furry, and lolita communities. I've never met any furries bullied out of the community for anything unreasonable, maybe a handful have in the cosplay communities, and nearly every single lolita I've met have said they quit online comms, irl comms, or lolita all together because of bullying over some nonsense.
Everyone lolita meet I went to, there was drama involving someone, and it eventually went to me and I quit because it all became more stressful than fun. I've talked to SOO many lolitas with a similar experience.
The worst I ever see in the furry community is people being delusional about OC theft, thinking anyone who makes a character even remotely similar to theirs (I own the right to all pink dog fursonas!) is a thieve and should be bullied for it or whatever, but that usually never goes anywhere. At most its just one person annoying you saying you stole their OC.

furries aren't hated because people just like hating them, they're hated because they were a literal fucking scourge on internet communities until people started bullying them out. far worse than bronies ever got. the fetish argument hardly matters when they were basically known for massive yiff spam and the large overlap of their community with vore/inflation/diaper content. i don't think that every furry is a furry due to a fetish, but i think that most of the community is composed over hyper-permissive anti-antis. this isn't new; fandom being this way is likely the result of furries, not the other way around. not to mention that they used to treat themselves like a fucking oppressed class online and beg for asspats and social reparations for having a goddamn wolf icon.

Also even if some ageplayer is in a comm and is doing gross things such as these, they are almost always shunned and kicked out, behaviour that people defending furries complained about earlier describing it as bullying. In lolita, if someone’s being a creep they get bullied because it gives normal lolitas bad rep, but furries welcome everyone and then wonder why they are hated.

Where are you getting this idea from?

>and often have other fetishes and treat the world like they are bigots for not wanting you to talk about your fetishes and this behavior is common.

Well yea, most people have fetishes, but no they don't all act like that regarding their fetishes.
I think the problem is you don't notice the good ones. Its confirmation bias. A lot of furries are quiet about being a furry because of the bullying. I sell basic furry ears and tails online and at cons and its not unusual at all for people to tell me to package their ears/tail purchase discretely because they don't want certain friends or family to know what they bought. And no, not buttplugs or whatever, just generic basic furry ears and tails.
I've been to 3 furry cons and I never experienced anything too weird or unusual. No more than a regular anime con at least. The only difference in atmosphere compared to an anime con is there were slightly more awkward people, but also slightly more nice people. I was expecting full cringe going to my first furry con, but there just wasn't any.
In my experience, the best people in the community are the fursuiters and crafters. Which is true for the cosplay community too, cosplayers and crafters are usually the best people.

Something starting out as a fetish is different than perverted people sexualizing something after the fact.

Lolita was never intended to be a fetish. Some creeps just get turned on by it because they're creeps. Furries BEGAN as porn and fetish stuff on their own.

And calling lolita an IRL VRchat skin is stupid; lolita is just clothes, not hiding your identity and not a costume or covering your face and all. Fashion and a costume are two different things. And a costume is different than a fursuit desu. People making a mascot costume as a cosplay even will always be different contextually to people who buy or make mascot costumes to "yiff" in.

Furries aren't as hated on as they used to be anymore either, and though I wouldn't say they're a normal interest, the rise of nerdy cons as a topic of interest to the average person means that it's likely in a few years people won't really care if you're a furry anymore

Disney princesses, American vidya, capeshit, and Star Wars are ok, but furries aren't? If you've been to an *anime* con, you'd know that furries aren't the only group who cosplay shit that isn't anime.

Lots of people who go to cons are locals who just wear the same costume to every con. If you are more into furry than anime and are just going to chill with friends and waste a Saturday, it makes more sense to wear the thing you spent 1000s of dollars on instead of buying something new.

>that's seen by people by and large
Most people don't know wtf a furry even is.

> Is it some normal person who just wants to hug kids at the mall in their fursona suit?
Furries don't go to the mall just to hug kids. They go to hang out with other furries. Kids like cute mascot costumes, and they're going to want to hug you whether you like it ot not. You come off as more weird if you refuse them. It's not much different than people who cosplay Disney princesses outside of cons. No shit kids are going to come up to you.

But Kemono suits aren’t all 100% perfect either. K-line is low-key notorious outside of furry weeb circles for their shoddy intern work, with baggy suits, popped seams, and an insistence with using short pile fur in every instance.

[Anonymous No.10392939]

>>10392929
I think it comes down to the overall proportions. Until recently, padding wasn't common on suits, and combined with the standard Western toony aesthetic, the look often drifted toward “sexytime dog head man” instead of “this is a cartoon character that jumped out of my TV”. It atill does often drift that way. It takes a lot of padding and big heads to pull off a great cartoon look and that’s expensive to commission. And many furries seem to prefer the animal pornstar look anyway
It also helps being short here, Kemono suiters are shorter Japanese guys/gals, and Disney park mascots, really most theme park mascots outside of a few characters, are short as well. Meanwhile, a tall twink in a kemono suit would look kinda creepy.

The only difference is that HT is going to ask you like 20 bucks when I could get it for 10 or 15 with an online coupon if not cheaper. Unless the fur is actually made stupid cheap, it's gonna be fine.

I'm not saying that in the slightest. I'm no expert but anyone who's ever been to Walmart and then gone over Von Maur and saw the same 2 shirts and acts like 1 is better, the only difference between the 2 is price tag and location. Unless you can prove to me why 1 is better than the other legitimately, and I mean with how soft it is, that's saying that a brillo pad vs sand-paper situation, you can't tell me you'd know the difference.

Basically, sewing the material together. If they act and feel the same way, there's no real way of saying what is and isn't better.

yea, you are kinda just proving my point even more here. I actually AM an expert, I've been selling furry merch for 5+ years and I can tell you that most of the fur you find at jo-ann fabric's and similar stores is very low quality. No professional fursuit maker uses fur from there, unless there is a special/unique pattern or something.
And yes, there is a significance difference cheap walmart shirts and higher priced shirts. It depends on the brand, but there is a huge difference between a $10 and $30+ t-shirt.

>there's a difference between Von Maur and Walmart
LMAO no there isn't dude. I've literally seen the same shorts, same brand at both stores but Walmart was way cheaper. Why? Von Maur is a snotty store for people with money to burn. It's the same thing with people buying the NEWEST iPhone when they have a good one from last year.

You're another person on this board, prove that you are a 5+ year fursuit maker. Also, saying you've been making suits for 5 years means nothing really to anyone. I can say I've been cooking for 10 years, it doesn't make me good.

I think the problem is that too many people are going the upholstery foam route which naturally produces much larger heads. Going with a more rigid material like resin or 3d printing filament would make the head look more like a natural extension of the body. In addition, instead of using the long pile fur used on most fursuits, people would be much better served shaving the fur down to about 1cm or even just forgoing the fur altogether in favor of another material. A matte stretch velvet would work very nicely for the arms and legs so that the body’s silhouette remains more accurate.

They absolutely are not the same. I used Joann’s higher end fur for a Kindred fursuit when I was 17 because I had been saving up coupons and it was still my least favorite part of the whole costume. It was incredibly scratchy, shed horribly and a really disgusting plasticky sheen. If you were sufficiently close, you could even see the backing through the fur.

like it or not, furfags come from a long legacy of sex weirdos-- doesn't mean there aren't furries that don't want to fuck dogs or each other and that genuinely just like the design, but they're by and large fucked over by that history behind them.lolitas at the very least are based on the punk scene, and then fetish weirdos wander into the fashion. With furry, it's engrained. cosplayers are 50% nerds 50% sluts, so it evens out Ultimately, you sound like a retard when you talk about gassing the furries like its 2011, but you sound even more moronic when you claim it's not a sex thing

to be fair, at least among current popular furries, from what I've seen, they don't really deny the sexual aspect anymore, and are a bit more open about it. Especially recently with Beastars and Zootopia making the concept of sexualised anthro animals a bit more acceptable in the mainstream

I mean, Shakira told the designers of Zootopia to give her gazelle character bigger hips, so that's something

Denying the sexual aspect is more of a late 2000s thing from older millenials and genxers

That puppet from what I remember was specifically for a puppet show that was held at Eurofurence by a German puppeteering group for a number of years. I don't think having puppets just out and about was ever a super common thing, but they would be cool to see as something to catch on. Even something like those arm-in-the-head body-wrapped-around-the-puppeteers with a fake arm ones you see sometimes would be cool to see.
https://youtu.be/8NnP2f1K_v0?t=240
Puppeteering in any context in a 'live on the floor' scenario that's not a full costume I think would either require the puppet to be silent, have the puppeteer have ventriloquist skills, or have someone else a few paces away radioing in lines, which the first one is kinda limiting as a intelligent 'character' wouldn't really be possible, and the other two are things that require a bit of live effort with the people involved, not something your average furry enthusiast has in them compared to throwing on a costume, maybe putting on a funny voice and calling it a day.

What's the best way to do "hair" on a fursuit head? I've thought about buying a wig and sewing in pieces of the wig but i feel like that will easily tangle right? or does it work out fine if you brush it often?

I'm looking to do about shoulder length hair, few inches shorter than the example

[Anonymous No.10420064]

>>10420019
My suits wig goes to my waist. It matts up in long sessions since you're going to be moving a lot and fur + wig fibre causes friction. just take a break to the headless lounge every hour or two (you'll naturally do this anyway), brush it out while you cool off, and it'll be all good for the next hour or two. shoulder length will be more managable but don't slack in regular brushing.

[Anonymous No.10420072]

>>10420019
Do what the kigurumi do: Buy two, or three for a particularly big head, wigs and frankenstein them together to get enough coverage for the entire head, as one wig is scaled for a human head and won't be enough hair for a fursuit head. Otherwise like the other anon said, it's basic wig management like it would be for a normal wig.

It moults a lot but hasn't balded at all. I got a very dense wig from arda's if that helps at all. I think inevitably I will have to seam rip it out and sew it back in. I blanket stitch the back of the wig to the nape of the neck really secure, then put the wig on the head properly and ladder stitched it to the forehead and around the ears.

[Anonymous No.10460632]

>>10460613
It might be ears and generally way-larger-than-human heads extending things up + the padding between the wearers feet and what actually touches the ground that skews this. Plus as you noted an absolute ton of suits are made for people mostly in the shorter range of average (for women), thus in pictures they're probably going to be surrounded by people of similar height.
Pay close attention to objects around them in photos, you may notice their shoulders and non-head body are a touch closer to the ground than they may normally be for someone closer to average (for either sex) if you have a point of reference in a given shot.
