Fursuiting!
Mar. 10th, 2011 11:59 pmAs this ended up being a lot longer than I had planned (and it seems I've gone over some of the stuff I discussed in my previous LJ post), I'll put an LJ cut hiding me detailing my involvement with fursuiting and why I had gone off it as not everyone's got time for long entries and they just want to see the picture :P

While visiting Deezlberries, he asked if I would help him with the fitting of his most recent creation, a plushie style bear suit, so he could finish it off. I obviously hadn't fursuited in well over a year and so I snapped up the opportunity to do so. By the next day, Deez had managed to finish off the suit and so needed a model to get some photos taken. I know there wasn't much to it, but I had a lot of fun coming up with silly poses for the photos and even came up with this amusing series of photos as posted on my FA:
Even though I didn't do a heck of a lot, I felt like I remembered what I enjoyed about fursuiting as in being able to play a character and not be yourself, etc and I've come away from the weekend feeling like I want to get back into fursuiting again. After the tweaks have been made to SlyCat, I've decided to not revisit the character again and go for something different. Note, I'm not changing my "fursona" or anything, SlyCat will always be how I refer to myself in the fandom, I'm just interested in trying other species and characters in fursuit form!
I had done a bit of thinking about what I'd want next as a fursuit character, and figured I'd want to go for something which would compliment my build and look cute rather than odd. I got my list down to a raccoon, a skunk, a bunny or a duck! All of which are critters which I think make really cute toony character suits so I just need to work out which to go for. It'll be a while before I can afford a new fursuit so I've plenty of time to make my mind up what I'd like to do next, but I'm sure I'd want Deezlberries to make it due to his passion and skill with toony fursuits (plus with it being made in the UK removes all the problems you normally get with international shipping).
