Title: Fursuiting at ConFuzzled
Post by: The Dark Knight on May 15, 2007, 12:21:47
So, who's bringing a fursuit to ConFuzz? And if so which one(s)? :)

I'll be brining Radinov, my female husky and probably my werewolf (http://www.werewolf-inside.com/gallery/v/fursuits/graafen/) if I can transport them both. :D

I'm thinking of something semi-toony-realistic... kinda styled after the excellent con-badge that Sangluna has drawn of my character (see my avatar to the left).  If it could be done to look exactly like that drawing, that would be ideal in my mind :)

Post by: Miles_Valentine on May 17, 2007, 16:51:20
I'd like to say that i could bring Miles along, but i dont know where the money would come from. I'm a student, and it would mean beans on toast (and nothing else) from now until then so i could afford it. It would be a halfsuit i'd be making.

However if i cant get this, i'll put together some accesories to represent Miles Valentine with. That'd involve the customised jeans i'm making for him, my longcoat and some roses in my hair. I might even dye my hair blonde X3

How did all you guys get round MC's requirement on having a duct-tape dummy for full suits? Everyone I know finds them a bitch to make, and then there's getting them sent over to the US in the first place without damage. :P

DTD's are easy to make really, so long as the person using the tape knows how to do it. :)

I've been DTD'd and helped do several others.  They really are easy to do, and there are ways to make it more comfortable for the "model".  Once done they are pretty easy to ship and store providing you haven't stuffed them.  Perhaps is something to demo (not the whole process) at Confuzzled?
Title: Re: Fursuiting at ConFuzzled
Post by: The Dark Knight on May 30, 2007, 10:17:17
I actually was the subject of a DTD panel at FC2006. It was quite funky.

Maybe we should do a quick demo on making one at ConFuzzled. :)
Title: Re: Fursuiting at ConFuzzled
Post by: AstroFenn on May 31, 2007, 20:21:21
DTD's can be improvised.without using Ducttape.. Boiler suits or one-piece overalls can be used if you don't want the suit to be too tight ^_^ I think I'll just make mine a partial fursuit, Bust, paws head and tails, I also have to make one for my Friend who's also comming but she just wants ears tail and paws, which I can bang up within two or three days ^_^. woot

Ill hopefully be there, with my first fursuit (well, fursuit/lycra mix), Alize.  I havent got her yet unfortunetly, but my freind is sending her in the next week or so so expect a better pic then.  At the moment though I do have a screenshot from a vid she sent me of herself in it.

Whilst my health means a full blown Fursuit would be practically suicide I am attempting to design and build a wheelchair friendly set of removable prosthetic ears, tail, paws and my signature robe.

I use false teeth so I might see about getting a set of rodent teeth made if it's inexpensive and I suppose I could make a lightweight mask... not a full blown fur suit I know, but it should hopefully be a decent compromise :)

It would be relatively easy, I think, to take a cast of the false teeth, scuplt some enhancements, then cast a new set.  Easy that is compared with casting teeth still in one's head, and then doing all the fiddly bits around the gums and roof.

Good luck with the suit!

Y'know 'Fuzzled has encouraged me to order my first fursuit.

I'm getting my hare character Belle commissioned from Lacy and I know it'll be love at first sight when she arrives.

Only thing is there is NO WAY I can possibly afford a full body suit at this moment in time, and had to go with just a partial (head, paws and fluffy tail!). I'll have fun trying to find clothes for her to wear this way though.

I'm just a tad worried about transporting the head around, I'm terrified it'll get crushed or who-knows on the journey (especially if I end up having to take the train). Any advise on moving a fursuit about safely?

Hehe. Well I'm always in BDU's, I'd give a shiny shilling to anyone who can find a picture of me in suit without at lease one piece of tactical gear. It's just how my suit is: Professional soldier for hire.  :D

Post by: Benny Brownpaws on January 24, 2008, 23:33:42
Major issue is that part of Dusk's standard armament is his AK47 and Mk23 SOCOM assault pistol, both of which I own Airsoft versions of, but as they are RIFs (Replica Imitation Firearms), that although we are allowed to use them for Airsoft the Violent Crime Reduction act says they are not to be used in public since they are that realistic. So I can't bring them, even if unloaded and with no battery or gas.

Too illegal and too dangerous. Police seeing me with them can get me shot. And that would not be good for the Airsoft community or the furry fandom.

EDIT: Bouncing off walls now! I have paid for CF! I'm on my way!

Whilst I'm in no way completely familiar with the current laws on airsoft weapons (Despite being quite interested enough in the sport to own a Star L86 (That thing was expensive!)), I'm pretty sure that having the Mk23 at the venue, so long as it is in a holster, peace-bound and barrel-plugged, should be OK. The AK, I'm not so sure about, but the Weapons Policy (http://www.confuzzled.org.uk/content/en/Weapons+Policy) says replica firearms must be holstered at al times in convention space, and I've yet to find an AK holster  :P. This might be something worth asking in the Q&A forum, that way you can get input from ConOps and Security, rather than just your friendly, gun-totting Media Relations  ;).

And for the record, the VCRA/B/Whatever just reiterates the "Don't be a fool and wave it around in public" bit that's been law since, well, a long time ago. Also, I think that if the police saw them and shot you, it wouldn't just be bad for airsoft and furry, but for you too ;D.

Sadder for the fandom I think. A tad more important than myself is the wellbeing of my friends. But the VCRA exemption just basically means "while guns like this are completely illegal now, only airsofters get an exemption".

The Mk23 may make an appearance in a holster while peacebound. The AK47 stays.

Also, my dad (Darkstar the wolf) has the Star L86 as well! Awesome gun! Not like the G&G version with the bolt that moves back and forth as you fire which then makes the internals break. LOL.

I really really want a fursuit, but i don't have much money.
Anyone who know about a fursuit maker, or is one, who can help me?
I've been trying to get someone to make me a fursuit for a long time, but noone answers my mails. Ive waited so long. Like months, and still no answers.
So, i finally gave up and write here instead.

I need a cheap, but good looking fursuit. (isn't that what all want? :P ). Well, the most important thing is that it's cheap.
I would really appreciate it if anyone have any tips or know who i can talk to (and that answers) to get one? :)

well, i do alredy have a partial homemade tiger fursuit ish thing. :P
But, it dosen't feel like a real fursuit. ^^

i've asked if i need to register each fursuit to bring, as i have awenic my first creation
he's a two piece fursuit, with a hood head with a pouch, good place for storing water.
but he's a squirrel but a mixture.  :), he's my no.2 fursuit.

is he fine to bring? is cross over creatures fine, if all goes well this year, i'm thinking of bringing
a pvc squirrel, would he be a fursuit? as he's not made from faux fur, i wish to know are pvc
squirrels within the confuzzled flavour being ok to bring once created?

i'm experimenting with materials, i'm just not sure if such a creature would be usable for confuzzled?

I would personally say that a PVC suit would not be appreciated by some members at the convention, please bear that in mind!

No, you don't need to register the fursuit, just turn up with it!
Title: Re: Fursuiting at ConFuzzled
Post by: Feera Fox on April 23, 2008, 14:01:15
at least i know, so he's not suitable, still once created there's still he's going to be useful
i'll wear him walking down the high street and go shopping, sounds like fun.

my number two fursuit is faux fur, that's who i'm taking this year along with
feera, he's the squirrel who is awenic he's much more suitable, and better

so PVC suits no good, If one covers PVC head with fur a balenced mixture fox
might work, i guess the main rule is to look cuddly  :), and one can't go wrong  :)

thank you very much for your time and kind feedback

What are you talking about? Some kind of skin tight squirrel suit?

I can think of why it isn't appreciated by some members of the convention, and possibly even less by the general public.

Well there is that, and yes I do believe if a costume has either real or fake genitals (I am not sidestepping here) showing, then I would think keeping them *well covered* would be OK. This is provided that the CF rules on such matters mirror those of Eurofurence.

That said the problem with PVC or any kind of full PVC suit for that matter. Is that it could be seen as BDSM or fetish wear (the same going for zentai costumes), which quite possibly under convention rules isn't allowed period. So regardless of whether its covered or not you still might wind up on the wrong side of convention security.

Before anyone asks. Yes I do know about the incident at EF13 involving a person involved with running another large UK furry event, and a rather over zealous smack down from con security over the wearing of a PVC fursuit.   
Title: Re: Fursuiting at ConFuzzled
Post by: Feera Fox on April 25, 2008, 11:07:00
well i would not myself see that as fetish, but i can understand why some might, but if a head is
pvc then furred up, so it looks cuddly and nice is that exceptable for wearing? if pvc is only
used as the head frame not for the look of pvc?, imagine puting long haired fur on such a frame.
is this ok, for a head?, 

or maybe just sending pics of heads or fusuits to run by staff before brining it, would prevent problems,
with CF staff, for nothings worse than packing a fursuit finding out it can't be used, i find pvc a bit harsh
looking if not furred, i have two fursuits but more heads, maybe a bit on acceptable hybrid construction
techniques, would clear up what can be used for head and fursuit construction, and what can not. within
the CF rules because some who are making heads and fursuits for CF at  home may not be aware of forbidden
techniques of construction.

to always have water whilst suited up, i'm doing a feera bag for my water and bits
i have made it and furred it, are any other furs doing this a bag to blend with ones
fursuit?, as most fursuits correct me if i'm wrong they don't have pockets as far as
i know.

A few furs have a 'camel-back' inside their suit which is basically a water fileld backpack with a long tube they have inside their head... when they need a drink, they suck on the tube... easy!

Me, I rely on a long straw and making bar purchases... luckily I have a moving jaw and can open my mouth to get the straw in!  :D

Or, like me, they have the full tac-vest, complete with camel-bak, allowing bother water and alcomahol to be drunk dependent on mood, and with the tactical drinks probe you mentioned. Although that works less for those who don't go for the whole "kicking in your door and handcuffing you to a radiator" look... >_>

i've finished the bag to complement, feera well i had a lot of bugendy fur left
after fursuit was taken out for me, my awenic fursuit that i'll be bringing is my
own design, i created him basic but nice, i can say one thing about awenic is
"as seen on the news", i've not seen the report myself but it's good. i'm not
showing him on the list as i want him to be a surprise for everybody.
yours in light and big huggles to all.
