Kemono (ケモノ) Thread

[Anonymous No.9329976]

Last one is kill.

>What is Kemono?
Generally speaking, the japanese word for "beast" but in the case of cosplay it refers to anthro or mascot costumes influenced by kawaii culture and fashion.

>What is this thread's content?
Mainly exchanging about the creation, tutorials, resources and similar.

Made OP the way it is so people don't complain again about being unrelated.

[Anonymous No.9330265]

>>9329976
Last one didn't 404, it was deleted. I don't think the janitors like these threads

[Anonymous No.9330271]

>>9330265
That was because of all the shitposting (even normal jfash threads get deleted for that when it happens), not because of the topic itself.

[Anonymous No.9330306]

Okay, so this means no fucking western cartoony furry suits. I'm okay with that.

[Anonymous No.9330394]

>>9330306
I'm ok with both styles, western stuff really needs to lean more on the cartoony side more though because kemono def has the "realistic" cute side down pat.

Then there's the realistic looking suits which are in a class of their own and are pretty cool.

>>9330265
I dunno, janitors were deleting shitposts/drama so I think they're more or less okay with it. Then again we had a couple images go missing so maybe there's a clash of opinions happening with multiple janitors..

[Anonymous No.9330436]

What fabric is that? It looks so smooth

[Anonymous No.9330445]

It looks nice. But good going furrys I'll never see it the same way.

[Anonymous No.9330734]

>>9330436
Satin, the whole suit is pretty much a wearable duvet.

[Anonymous No.9330749]

>>9330734
I dislike how satin makes those folds and shiny surface.
I do mine with fleece, easier to blend the seams and keep the mascotte feel, unfortunately its really poor at managing warmth and sweating

[Anonymous No.9330761]

>>9330734
that sounds excessively warm even for a mascot suit

[Anonymous No.9330790]

>>9330761
idk if you've ever worn one, but every mascotte or furry suit is hot as hell, no exceptions.

[Anonymous No.9330859]

>>9330790
This, it's suffering but it's fun. Just remember to stay hydrated and take lots of breaks.

[Anonymous No.9330863]

>>9330859
I love it! And grabbing some outside air is best (unless you live south..)

[Anonymous No.9330865]

[Anonymous No.9330872]

>>9330790
I can't necessarily say the same. I'm always warm on the lower half of this, but I have been cold standing outside in cooler weather on the top half.

[Anonymous No.9330881]

>>9330863
What fur did you use for the head/chest area? I've been looking for something just like it for a Lucario cosplay.

[Anonymous No.9330883]

>>9330865
those eyes are stunning! How do you see?

>>9330872
Beause the upper body isn't filled my guess. And all those scales, must have cost a lot of work.

[Anonymous No.9330888]

>>9330881
I'm actually debating if I am going to make mega lucario, just because this fur is so perfect.
I bought this fur http://www.stoffen-online.nl/bont-langhaar-toffee.html
Unfortunately a dutch site only.

[Anonymous No.9330891]

>>9330883
Yep, just a layer of felt scales, fleece and a t-shirt. Breathes fantastically, but absolutely isn't a makeshift winter coat like most peoples costumes here.

[Anonymous No.9330892]

>>9330891
Atleast it's easier to put extra layers on than make it cooler hah.

[Anonymous No.9330896]

>>9330883
And the scales, every single one cut out by hand. I don't want to know how long it took to cut them out, but there's no other way to get that look without it looking like / literally having them painted on.

[Anonymous No.9330898]

>>9330896
I bet, but goodjob, the pattern looks amazing!

[Anonymous No.9330903]

>>9330883
>those eyes are stunning! How do you see?
Car window tint, it's what most japanese makers use under printed eyes.

[Anonymous No.9330960]

>>9330896
I make stuffed dragons with hand cut scales. I can't imagine how long it would take for a human sized one. You've got some patience.

Whatever you replied to was deleted...

[Anonymous No.9331221]

It was a fursuit picture without text so I guess the janitors don't like dumps.

[Anonymous No.9331235]

>>9331221
I've noticed weird things being deleted, things that aren't breaking any rules whatsoever and are totally innocuous

[Anonymous No.9331265]

Rule 3.

[Anonymous No.9331319]

Im not a furry and I'm not even a cosplayer, but I like lurking these threads. I find them interesting and I really enjoy seeing the different styles, especially beyond the western look.

[Anonymous No.9331336]

>>9331235
It's really fucking confusing

[Anonymous No.9331367]

>>9331221
That's too bad it was a cute furry

[Anonymous No.9331380]

Does Tashiro Yu's Chocolat suit still exist? I only ever see them wear the bunny (Mocha?) and their most recent pink cat with striped legs whose name escapes me any more.

[Anonymous No.9331551]

>>9331380
Not sure if he just keeps it stored somewhere else but he only has 4 at his place. Also, he never throws old suits away but sells them, just like how he did with that one giant pink robo cat that he had for a short time.

[Anonymous No.9331591]

>>9331551
Oh, he sold it? That explains why I haven't seen it in ages. I liked the design.
Wonder who has it now.

[Anonymous No.9331630]

>>9331551
Chocolat is the pink robo cat lol

[Anonymous No.9331650]

>>9331630
Oh, I was thinking it was the dog because of his tutorials showing that one for "chocolat".

[Anonymous No.9331656]

>>9331319
same, i'm really into crafting and think it'd be fun to try to make a cute head

but i'm too scared to be branded as a furry

[Anonymous No.9331699]

>>9331265
Rule three is in regaurds to furry porn and yiffing being pushed to /b/.

The construction of mascot suits and kigurumi are costumes. And belong on cgl.
Learn the difference.

Not to mention different displays that need mascot heads and require fur work.
So get back on subject. Keep the discussion con related and post links/ tutorials for the OP when you can.

[Anonymous No.9331783]

>>9331650
Sorry, this is the best photo I could get but, there's the suits' badge with the name and some fellow kemono suits.

[Anonymous No.9331789]

>>9331783
Is this Tashiro's first suit? He's come a ways since then

[Anonymous No.9331797]

>>9331789
I don't remember honestly. It's either Chocolat or Marie (the brown dog), who is five... six years old now? Crazy.

[Anonymous No.9331819]

>>9331797
His first suit is actually Tirol, she got something over 3+ versions tho, pic related was the second that he dumped 2010.

[Anonymous No.9331821]

>>9331819
Should note that he made the first version of Tirol in 2006.

[Anonymous No.9331826]

Where are the best resources or tutorials for making a fursuit for the first time?

I'm specifically interested in the Japanese style. I'm inspired by this person mostly. I specifically like the eyes and soft features of Japanese fursuits.

[Anonymous No.9331829]

>>9331826
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tashiroyu/
Got a whole guidebook on how he makes his suit.

[Anonymous No.9331834]

>>9331819
I thought Tirol was first, but I doubted myself because of his gallery.

>>9331826
This thread is for the Japanese (Kemono) style only, so!
I'd honestly just google it, or look on FA. Some stuff is account locked though.
Youtube is a good source too.

Here's all of Tashiro's tutorial, reminder that it's three years old.

[Anonymous No.9331877]

>>9331829
Thank you so much for the link!
>>9331834
I thought of googling but thought someone more experienced would be able to tell the good sources from the bad. Thank you for the help!

[Anonymous No.9331933]

>>9331877
No problem! I wish I could help you more but kemono tutorials aren't as common as western ones! furaffinity.net/user/kemonofurs will have tutorial links by kemono makers too

[Anonymous No.9334078]

GirlieGinger (who made the Dragonite in OP) is working on Lunala right now.

[Anonymous No.9334390]

From Monster Hunter? Might be neat

Nope, Pokemon.

[Anonymous No.9334406]

>>9334403
But she works on another cos-suit anyways but idk what it is supposed to be.

[Anonymous No.9334881]

Does anyone have recommendations on what kind of foam to use/where to get supplies for building the head?

[Anonymous No.9334898]

>>9334881
Most just use EVA foam grade 60, some just take yoga maths with a modified version of http://toki-reatle.deviantart.com/art/Pony-Fullsuit-head-pattern-426863770 like >>9334078

[Anonymous No.9335386]

K-Line is switching to printed perforated aluminium eyes now too, probably because you have more space for the vision. The downside is that the outer pvc layer gets foggy even sooner due to the holes, that kind of eyes usually only makes sense when there is no outer layer

[Anonymous No.9336272]

[Anonymous No.9336431]

>>9335386
Don't K-Line suits already start losing visibility after about 40 minutes?
