Nice tail, Kiddems! 8D

And your legs look like they're gonna turn out great, Carry C:

Ooh, good luck Koowie c: Be sure to post pictures~ x3

Do you guys like Pokemon? 8D'' I have anthropomorphic pokemon art to share~
Took me days to do it ;3;

It's my Sandslash OC called Gobi and my Sableye OC called Beryl. :3 The Sableye isn't changed much from the original pokemon design because they're already pretty anthro-looking ^^

Pokemon is not owned by me, of course. :3

(Dem hips LOL)

Davie, those are gorgeous. Especially that sandslash. Pokemon are hard to draw as anthros, as their anatomy is all over the place. But you seem to have mastered that beautiful art style <3 I'm impressed.

And koowie, like I said on skype, I don't think making a quadsuit is a good idea at the moment. I'm certainly not going to stop you, but let me just point a few things out.

1. Quadsuits require a lot of body padding to make them look right. It is heavier than a regular body suit. The head is also at a different position and is hard to breathe in. Vision is also terrible and it's hard on your back, arms, and knees.

2. You are still growing. Not only would you grow out of it fast, if you sustain any back injuries or the like at a young age it's going to pose problems for you in the future. I don't want you getting hurt.

3. Wearing a quadsuit is hard, even in a private controlled area. It can be dangerous in public unless you have SEVERAL spotters (yes, more than one spotter). People tend to forget that there is a person inside of the costume and you could get hurt. While I was in the Uri quad at Otakon, several people tried to sit on my back. Thank goodness my spotters were so focused and kept me from harm, but it is much more dangerous than regular suiting.

4. Once you are in it, you are stuck there for quite awhile. I can last 6 hours in a regular suit and be totally fine. In the quadsuit, I was tired within 5 minutes. After 45 minutes, I was exhausted and almost passed out (partly because it was 105 degrees out, but even if it's a regular day it will still be hot). If you end up in a dangerous situation, you may not be able to get out of the suit without assistance.

Once again, I'm not trying to deter you from making a quadsuit. I'm just advising that you wait until your skill level in suit has increased before attempting one. I honestly thought I could handle hours in a quad, but in reality I could last a maximum of about 45 minutes to an hour. Please, be smart and be safe.

Sorry I've been inactive.

Wouldn't that be really uncomfortable not being able to bend your legs?
Sorry if i sound really stupid right now, I'm pretty new to fursuiting.

Pygmy, those Pokemon anthros are awesome! Some of my two favorite things!!

No no no! xD
The duct-tape dummy is just to figure out the size for everything and how the pattern will go! xD No way would someone use their duct tape dummy for walking!

Oh, snowz! I found a raichu or however you spell it on furbuy for cheap. You should check it out.

I'm confused... Still, how would you walk when it's done?

Oh yeah, that's cute! My mom doesn't like it though. Really nice and super cheap! 100 bucks for a fullsuit! Anybody else that's interested in Pokemon and cheap fullsuits should take a look at it.

[MochaTheLlama]

Uhh. Normally? Duh. It's like walking with baggy pants, or poofy ones, and maybe skin tight ones, just with padding. It's still possible.

[cedaar]

Oh okay. XD

[neonfrozen]

Hey guys! Well, i'll be. I have changed fursonas again, but this time I spent up all night thinking up the design, and I finally thought that she was the one. I loved the color combo on her and her breed is my favorite. I hope you all love Koowie!



Oh, btw, my username is going too be KoowieTheDog from now on! Just gonna try it out.
