Fursuit shy.

I think I have you beat. I'll be hooking up with two friends at Anthrocon who happen to be into the furry scene. So this will be a totally new experience for me. That and the most I have to start with is a basic black spandex catsuit with no fur in sight...at least, for the time being.

I've had a similar experience when I first became a rubberdoll thinking that "it won't be good enough". And, to extent, it is good enough. And certainly we all have to start somewhere. It's from that stepping stone that you're able to progress further to the next step. And it does get easier.

So don't worry. You'll be in great company full of people willing to give you an assist. And I'm sure I'll be positively knocked out as to how absolutely fantablous anyone can look as a furry creature.

Have a glovely furry day!

Unfortunately there are some jerks which have been taunting new fursuiter makers. The fursuit forum has a few scattered posts here and there about people taunting others because of little things, of which I try to give positive mental encouragement to the people they do a good job. Afterall, if a fursuit head is SOOO terrible, I'd like to see the person who is doing the taunting make a fursuit!

I also want to mention, just because a suit is "done" doesn't mean you won't go back and make changes later on. I definitely will be making a better tail and glove set after the con. To be honest my suit was a bit rushed because my life is so busy with work. Many fursuiters who make their own suits go back and work on them, or even send them to someone to have them work on them. Antimon has his suit maintained every so often. A fursuit is like a car, sure it looks pretty when you first buy it, but you always want to make changes.

I have a great deal of respect for people who sit and make their own suit instead of blowing thousands on a professional commission.

Thanks! I feel a lot better.
