Looking for input on a fursuit decision.

Furry Reddit - Sat 31 May 2014 - 02:18

(Note: I know this MAY be more apt for /r/fursuit, but the community here seems extremely helpful and active. Hope this post isn't an issue)

Hi all,

So I've basically been kicking around the possibility of buying a fursuit for a while now. I was hoping that I could get a bit of advice from the community here over whether that's actually a sound decision, though, basically due to the time investment of production as well as the cost.

Basically my particular situation is like this: I don't consider myself a furry per se (though I'm also not hostile or something), but have been aware of the community for quite a while. The art has never really been of interest to me, but I've been fascinated with costumes (mascots and character performance in particular) for some time. I spent my four years of college as my university's mascot, and it was everything I'd expected as far as the fun of performing and entertaining people, and now feel that having a fursuit (especially meaning a suit would actually fit me) would give me a chance to continue that now that I'm out of school.

On the other hand, though, I'm concerned about the fact that, since I'm not really involved in the scene, don't have a FA account or a fursona in the traditional sense, etc., I would not be able to find outlets or places to make use of my suit.

As far as makers, I love the aesthetic of DHC's suits (especially their foxes, which is what I'm leaning towards), but am also considering Mischief Makers, among others. Money is not a significantly limiting factor but can't truly be ignored.

So basically my questions are these:

-Is it probably unusual/not worthwhile for someone basically not involved in the community to just go out and get a fursuit?

-Does anyone here have experience with DHC and their timescale/price range/ease of working with?

-Are there any other pieces of advice/things to know you guys could give as far as a fursuit as an investment for something of an outsider?

Open for commissions!

Furry Reddit - Fri 30 May 2014 - 21:28

Hello all! I've recently stumbled upon this subreddit, and since I've seen a few people asking about commissions, I decided to post my information for anyone that was interested!

I've got my Furaffinity account right here where you can check out my artwork, or for unfiltered art (aka not just furry :3c) you can go riiiight here.

I'm always up for taking on commissions, but if you decide to order one right now, tonight, no matter what you get, it will only be $20! Thats right, multiples, full bodied or colored, even shaded. Call it a celebration sale for being able to find this awesome subreddit!

Good luck out there friends, and thanks~

Could use a bit of help with a Dungeons and Dragon's world map for a furry universe and other things.

Furry Reddit - Fri 30 May 2014 - 20:59

Hey there guys! I'm running a game of DnD 3.5, set in the furry world. In order to make my players happy (and myself) I could use a bit of help.

First off, I'd love it if someone made a world map for my universe. It's a spherical world, with one giant landmass, surrounded by water. There's 6 countries on this continent, 5 of them furry exclusive. If there's anyone interested in helping out, I would love you forever! You'd get an invite to the game too ;3

As for other things, a big help would be some ideas for NPCs to help and harass the PC's! Anything to help really!

If you want to help out, upvote so more people see, but I don't necessarily want you too.

PM's appreciated! Thank you!

A Little Help?

Furry Reddit - Fri 30 May 2014 - 18:48

Well.. I've been a part of the community for quite a while.. But I never could draw up a fursona for myself.. Sure I know what Zee looks like within my mind, but when it came to trying to draw him I did horrible.. :( I really hate to do this because I feel like I look like a dumbass but if possible is there any way or anyone who could possibly help a fellow fur out and aid me in bringing Zee DarkWolf to life? .. I can even pay you if that's what it takes.. Thanks for reading. Sorry if I seem ridiculous. :<
