Yes, in general, wings or any extra appendage on your fursuit is okay. But you have to be aware that you are now wider or taller or thicker than you used to be while walking about. Be considerate of other attendees. The responsibility to watch your edges lies with you, not everyone else.
So please come and enjoy your wings and wear them proudly, but careful where you flap.

Thank You very Much. don't worry i'll be watching my edges. in fact i might even be bringing two friends and i'll have them keep an extra eye on me. they will fold up quite nicely though so it shouldn't be any problem.

permalinkUnfortunately, your video doesn't work. I save it to my desktop, it claims it's a corrupt file. I try to view it in IE window, it crashes IE.
Do you have another way of showing it?

i don't know. i had to download a quicktime player to do it but it worked. and why is it every time i wanna see something i have to download a new viewer. arn't 5 or 6 types of players enough to play anything(sarcastic, but almost true) wish i knew more about the computer world.

permalinkI've got the latest QuickTime viewer, it still freezes up on me. I've never had video file viewing problems, ever.

Try using VLC. It can eat anything.

You won't be the first to have mobile wings, but it sounds like you're going to set a new standard for them. Looking forward to seeing it.
If they open fairly fast, you might want to be sure to have a handler around to make sure the travel paths are clear.

don't worry i plan on being carefull with them. i'm even installing a cutoff switch so when i don't plan on opening them they will be completely safe. there's been a ton of time and effort in planning and building these and i've been thinking of safety all the way through.
and thanks for the complement, i'll be excited to have them done.
