New news on the fursuit front

[slycat]

chapeljax posted another update in his LJ today saying he'd have photos of my fursuit soon.  I know he said that with his last update, but after a chat with Jax over AIM, I was more convinced that things were actually coming along and I am positive I shall get the suit in time for EF now.  In addition to this, Jax has done me a conbadge which is pictured to the right which is really cute.  Obviously as a photo of a drawing, it's a bit washed out, but I'm sure the real thing will be even better :).

Interesting design feature of the suit will be that it can be worn as a partial or a full suit.  2 suits in 1 if you like.  Basically to make the full suit a partial, the neck on the head needs to be enough to cover the neck, you need a seperate tail, and you need to add "sleeves" to the paws so you can wear t-shirts and the like.  It's quite a cool design feature as it means that like for meets and stuff I can bring the partial and it's not big deal to wear it, and also for overly hot weather.  While for cons and stuff, I've always got the full suit.  Personally, I prefer the full suit look, but partials have their advantages at times.

Edit: I just realised that I never mentioned the fantastic pic colifox did for me recently. Take a look at his post here to see it :)

In fact, here's a photo I found of odendo and his badge - http://www.furmeets.co.uk/gallery/displayimage.php?album=65&pos=55.

Not a totally silly idea as he got lots of folks to sign it/draw stuff on the back :)
