Addiction

[Coal Silvermuzzle]

  Help, I'm addicted ... went fur suiting twice for about 6 hours each ... now I am addicted to fur suits. I need to get a fur suit made!

[zenia]

heh I have had several people say to me: "You are a seamstress for a living? You could make a killing doing fursuit commissions!" ... Yeah, except that I can NOT sculpt to save my life. lmao

Oh gosh I LOVE fursuiting. Murpy and I went fursuiting a week or 2 ago. So great. c:
Where did you suit? Come Fursuit with murphy and I next time. ^^


Murphy and I love building suits, and have now opened up our own Fursuit bussiness.
We are called Insomniac Creations. c:

That's how it gets started. The first hit's always free ....

Actually, that's why I want to get/make a suit too. I've only worn one once, but ... gets you hooked.

[Zythren]

Man I've wanted to for sooooooo long. :C
I'll definitely buy one.

I always wondered is there some kind of guideline you have to follow while fursuiting? Like either for safety reasons because of limited vision etc or just because everything MUST have a dumb rule lol

I'm already addicted to fursuits and I haven't even tried a full suit on yet! Still making mine

  AMZ, I have found that one does need a spotter. You have very limited vision when suiting, the fact I wear glasses doesn't help they tend to fog up. Nothing like missing that first or last step on a stairway or a curb. Speed bumps suck BTW, when suiting. Buy yourself a bottle of water (with the pull spout) and refill it often, it does get a might warm in the suit. But the fact of the matter is it is great fun, the smiles one causes on most people is worth it.

there is unwritten rules(guildlines) to fursuiting that many suiters uphold to, basically the general do's & don'ts.

or the very basic

1. Never take any part of the suit off in public; especially the head.
2. Never talk while in costume.
3. Always stay "in character" while in costume.

I can agree with the first and last. Though, the never talking thing. Meh. I find both talkers and non talkers to be really fun and really cute so it really makes no difference to me. Its also a pain when you cannot 'mime' what you need very well to someone else. XD so.

Thanks for the link Sairys.

Um, I always break rule #2, hence why I need the movable jaw.

And for rule #3, my character is my real life persona, just made into a raccoon.

as a general rule you can talk but not around non-suiters(example kids) , we would tend to mime the best we can if we are unable to we just go up to the person in question and tell them. We to try to keep the illusion that the critter in question is real. There is a few exceptions to this rule of course, a number of suits do have moveable jaws allowing them choice of speech.  Some suiters tell me if you talk & it sounds like your talking thru a pillow its best not to.

2. No talking rule is friggin lame IMHO. Then again it depends on what kind of character you are trying to portray. So for my murrsona is basically a furry version of the real me.

just curious, you do know that Murrsona basically refers to a fursuit being a murrsuit/yiffsuit.

I'm defiantly going to need a spotter when I go out suiting soon.
