Off-Topic Furry Discussion / Re: Fursuit costs and suppliers
« on: July 25, 2009, 00:53:39 »Quote
I still haven't decided whether I should get one eventually or not. I'm worried that if I had one, I'd hardly ever use it!
I have the same thoughts about getting a fursuit and hardly using it, but to attend one convention a year with it, it would be worth it.
Then there's the added bonus of sharing fursuit photos & videos online with others.
I could wear it for new year celebrations, Christmas etc, but only in the company of trusted friends.

if you download the original CF2008 con video
I have already and the fursuit workshop just happens to be the part that interested me the most.
Indoor and outdoor feet, washing/cleaning, balaclavas, a minder/watcher when going out in public, and how can I forget making sure you are clean and showered before getting into a fursuit, comically enacted what happens if you don't by Timduru.

OK so I want to get a fursuit but I'm undecided, on one hand I'd love to be a bunny if not a dog/husky.
A toony look is preferable.
Where do I start, and is buying a ready-made/used fursuit frowned upon within the furry community?
Would a commission be too expensive, besides designing it myself would be a daunting task and I would need some help.
Besides furbid where else can I look?
Checked out Fursuiters UK, but only four makers listed in the UK and all apparently fully booked.

Off-Topic Furry Discussion / Re: How do you discover the furry fandom?
« on: July 23, 2009, 00:13:55 »
Three years ago I stumbled across a fursuit convention video clip on YouTube and thought to myself that looks cute and exciting, so I started searching and watching more clips, but once I saw that all the clips were from the US, I thought there's a shame why can't they hold such events in the UK.
I lost interest up until a year ago then I started to research what 'furry' meant and became more and more interested, visiting many sites such as FA, fursuit.timduru.org, etc.
From the day I saw the first furry convention clip on YouTube, it was relevant to my interests.

Thanks for the friendly advice, I have been weighing up some of the pros and cons of getting involved in fursuiting and furry fandom.
The cost of buying a fursuit wouldn't be a problem for me, but due to my income I would not be able to afford to attend overseas conventions.
My worries about fursuiting:
My friends of the same age have family commitments and are probably not interested.
What will my friends and neighbours think, as there are a lot of bad articles/mockery on the internet about furries in general? I would hate them to think I was into some strange sexual fetish, most fursuiting/furry fandom is a hobby not unlike being a football fan, dressing up in your favourite team's shirt and attending football matches. FYI I have no interest in football.
Will I fit in to the furry fandom?
OK I will be back later.

For a few years furry artwork and fursuiting have been relevant to my interests, I'd like to get more involved and getting a fursuit of my own would be simply awesome.
Problem is I feel I'm too old at 40 to start now, I love the videos at BBF of ConFuzzled, but watching them also makes me feel sad as if I am missing out on the fun.
Any advice would be welcome?
