I've seen other suiters pad out their butts a bit too to enhance the digitigrade look. You try? You liiike?

I've tried that approach and I struggle with getting the padding just right. It felt horribly uncomfortable the last time I tried to do it, but that being said the last time I used stiff foam and not the soft pillow padding I use now
I'd rather be fursuiting

Hi all!

I know I've been quiet for a bit, some things happened... I'd rather not speak of it.
Anyhow I bit the bullet today and bought the fur I need to finish my suit, I'm going to start tonight to build the final product. I'm going to try my best to start tonight at least, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.

My goal is to finish this by rAge. I also have to study a fuckton before rAge as well so this is going to be a tight squeeze.

Worked like hell on this, like building a puzzle with a few hick ups.
I'm tired AF but I'm happy with my progress. I'll post more as I progress tomorrow.

So I finished about 80% of the primary stitching today, just to realize I seem to have missed a few seams and the body went skew :roll:

So anyway I was planning on finishing it off tonight but with this setback it might take a few days longer. But I got super excited when I put it on with the head, the handpaws and tail and realised I am wearing a freaking fursuit. Something I've been dreaming off for so long.

I will upload pictures tomorrow if I get time. So far I had it on a few times and damn, just damn I love it.

I had an amazing time at rAge with the suit. I was really nervous about going out in public with the fullsuit for the first time but boy it was incredible!
I literally finished it the night before rAge sort of finished it xD
It's in a presentable state, I still need to do the secondary stitching on the body, put the velcro in for the padding since the padding kept moving underneath and I have a little something I want to add to the chest that I will reveal once I have done it. I also need to finish off the feetpaws. Also keep an eye on my YouTube Channel. rAge fursuit coverage video is also coming soon!

Since I sweat a lot due to this blasted South African weather and how damned hot it was on that specific day I didn't wait long to disinfect the suit. The longer you wait the higher the risk of black mold and once the old black mold has a grip on your suit it's tickets. Disinfected it with a 70/30 mix of wintergreen rubbing alcohol and water, it smells great!

Awesome!
I'm glad that worked out for you.
The suit looks excellent, and I'm sure it's even better in person.

It was an amazing time! The reactions were one of the most interesting parts of the expo though, such a large variety. I wonder if it'll attract any new furs hmm

So I know I've posted this video on a different thread before I just want to for the sake of continuity of the thread also post it here. One day when I revise the thread or whatever the progress of the thread can show my progress as well without having to look for a different thread to find the video. Even though I can find the video in my YouTube channel I'd like the thread here to have some form of continuity

Yeah, a lot of people actually knew what I was wearing to my surprise. People know of furries here, which is awesome!
