Re: Are You A Furry?
I heard from others that their problem with Fursuits is that you can not see the person wearing it, and the fact that there is a person concealed behind the suit is what makes them creeped out by it. Everyone has their problems with it I guess.
Who knows, it may just be the same reason people have a fear of Clowns and Mimes. ^^;

That's the second part that irks me about clowns in a long list I'd rather not delve into.
Back to furries though.

I'm not so sure that blinking eyes would be any less creepier.Sleet wrote:I think the main issue people have with fursuits is the face being locked into one unblinking expression. It doesn't bug me, but if it bugs other people I at least understand.
When I was back in high school, I had to volunteer at this nursing home for student service learning hours.
One day the residential T.V. was on Maryland State's PBS channel and there was this show called "Raggs".
It was some sort of music show with five animatronic canine characters.
I thought they looked as creepy as "The Wiggles" puppets.
I only recently found out that the "Raggs" show started out in Sydney, Australia which is where "The Wiggles" started out.
I apologize to Ebly if it sounds like I have painted Australia in a bad light.
I don't think it's a bad country.
As for people in fursuits, how much different do you think they are from the people who are mascots for a school or restaurant?
Would you expect people to know the difference if there was one? Just so we're clear, I always found these mascots/fursuits to be odd,quirky, and absurdly silly, even before I knew of the word fursuit. This gets me wondering why a person would have something against person who would ever like to act silly. Silliness isn't a bad thing. Can't the person in the cougar fursuit have as much of a positive impact on the community's citizens as the person who runs the canned food drive for the local homeless shelter?
I was also wondering, how would the term furry artist be defined?

Re: Are You A Furry?
I would say it's the amount of furry related artwork made by the artist, but then there are those who are only commissioned so it might not always be accurate.
However, usually, it's the artists themselves who have a final say on whether or not they are a furry artist. Because before we label someone as something, we should first know why they are doing it.
So I would say that a furry artist is someone who says they are, but that doesn't make them any lesser or greater than any other artist.
Of course, there's that matter of skill... = w=. . .
I hope I have answered your question.

Re: Are You A Furry?
Someone who almost-exclusively does furry art would be a furry artist in my opinion. Unless they do it for a job and wouldn't draw furries if they had a choice.

If I'm going to dump 1500+ dollars into getting something like that, I want to be positive it's going to be something that's done well enough that I'll actually want to wear it more than once.

Re: Are You A Furry?
That's likely a good idea. If you've got the ability to make one yourself, you can save yourself a ton of money.Kitela wrote:Well... I better start making my own then.
Like Sleet said, it's in-between 1 and 1.5 grand just to get an average quality one from a lesser-known supplier. If you want a higher quality one, cost can easily peak over 2000 bucks. It's not a small investment, by any means.

I never would have guessed they were that expensive.

I am not a furry. No sir.

Re: Are You A Furry?
Hm. I would never drop that much money on a fursuit - or any money at all, for that matter - but I might be willing to try one on ... for a little while. Those things look really, really hot and uncomfortable to wear for an extended period of time.

I would wear a Yoshi suit, though. I dunno why there's a difference in my mind, but there is. X3

Because Yoshi is an EPIC Nintendo character and dressing in a Yoshi suit would be considered cos-playing instead of fur-suiting...?Tha Housefox wrote:I would wear a Yoshi suit, though. I dunno why there's a difference in my mind, but there is. X3

I don't see myself ever buying one, unless I come up with a large sum of money I could throw away. Also, I would never wear a fursuit unless it was a fox and knowing myself I would never wear it in public.

Re: Are You A Furry?
They're just too much money... I know I'll probably never own one, but I'm okay with that. Of course, it would be a different story if someone could make me one for, let's say, 300 bucks. In that case, I'd probably get one.The Grey Wolverine wrote:I heard they were expensive but, wow.

Absolutely. In fact, they tend to work better with a piece of long-sleeved outer wear. That way you can tuck paws into the sleeves like gloves.The Grey Wolverine wrote:Would I be able to wear a jacket/sweatshirt with one? Because I am not comfortable without one on.

Re: Are You A Furry?
I think a partial fursuit would be a lot more comfortable and affordable, but then again it would be more difficult to hide that I'm a furry.
