Fursuit Thread

[SilverHund]

Hello. It's Smoky again. I apologize for my absence.

Well, anyways, I have a fursona, Dice, but I'm not sure if I should keep him as a fursona or make him a character. He represents me, but I haven't had a fursona that's really clicked yet. I adopted him, which is probably part of the problem, but what do you guys think I should do?

[Discordia]

I'd just wait and see. Sometime a fursona can develop out of a character, sometimes not. I wouldn't stress it if you can't 'find' one. Sometimes they just find you :3

I have two new anthro characters of mine, one was an paid adoption and another is an art trade. {Which I am still working frantically on my end} So I decided to share, and would love some input on their designs in general.


I think I am going to have him as a Bat-Earred Fox. Though this is for several reasons, but when I first saw this lone guy was up for sale... I could just picture his personality and story by just a quick glance. I am so happy for have him. :3 Art/Made by shadowkira555 on FA.


This is the art trade one. The cutest little spectacled flying fox you ever did see. I asked for some sort of tattoo/pattern that would denote his area, Australia. Amazing artist on FA, natuprunk. I am nervous on my end of the trade, hoping they won't be dispointed ^-^;

Now that I am done with sharing, perhaps a question. How do people handle anthro characters, whose original animal had wings/can fly? Making them anthro, at many times seems to take away their reasonable ability to fly. Plus being able to choose between wings, wing-hands, winds +arms, or just feathered arms... What is your general preference? I like how natuprunk kept the very basic wing hand, but gave him a more functioning hand.

@Smoky: Play around with the idea, try Dice out for awhile to see if it fits after some use. If not, could make an excellent character that represents you for the moment till you get an actual fursona.

@Smoky, give Dice a shot, like Cacophony said a fursona kinda finds you!
@TigressMin, those characters are gorgeous! I really like the first one his design is so perdy! I think feathered arms would be the way I would go if I was going to make a anthro flying character. Also, thinking of a bat anthro I think them having moving and usable hands is a good ides.

Hm, I'm never sure on wings... my only charcters with wings have angel/bat wings in addition to their limbs, not as part of them. In general I like to see winged animals keep their wings pretty much as is as anthros. Bird anthros especially. But I do really like the way that artist turned the bat's "thumb" claws into hands, that makes a lot of sense.

Anyway, just wanted to pop in with a Dharma picture.

Dead thread is dead o3o'

Anyways I made some Anthro art of my 'sona Skye Flynn. I'm quite proud of the outcome and it took me about 30-40min to complete { worked hard on it }. There are some antanomy fails but I like it :3

Omg, that's too adorable Kari <3

@Best of Freinds(though I would say this goes for everyone): PLEASE, do not ignore everyone who posted before you, it's just plain rude >: Neat drawing though.

@TigressMin: Oh the blue male is just gorgeous <3 And that bat is so cute! I really like his design too 83

@question: I would say for bats i like the wing/hand/morph-thing I am note sure about birds though, I find that some artists can make one way of anthropomorphizing birds work, while another can make another way work :3 I have not tried it myself yet, so I can't really speack from expirience XD

Wewt, sketch time~(crtits welcome)

Great job bongo! As for my fursuit I'm having trouble. I was gonna make(or try) it D-Shadow, but I can't do that if I don't know how to make one. If I bomb, whats the site that sells them called, that you bid on?

[corgie]

@Bongo : I wasn't ignoring them though?

But nice sketch ^.^ Though maybe the { males } legs could be a little shorter? Nothing else thought it looks just fine
@Kari : Nice Fursuit

I'm having a hard time making a suit...
