Clip and I made a craigslist ad for our 36" TV, which we couldn't seem to give away. Tons of offers appeared within an hour, apparently this time it's easier to sell than to give away. We'll see if anybody will actually show up. The ad lists the tv in "near-mint condition", which I guess is very tricky to understand. People are asking what that means and what's wrong with the TV.

For those who don't speak English, "near-mint condition" or "like-new condition" is about as good as you can get for a used item. If that's not good enough, then don't shop on Craigslist!

Sheesh. What do they teach in school nowadays? Next time I will say "Works real good. Not broken."

What do you guys think of this fur? It's really soft, has a strong backing and it's sort of shaggy.  This fur is a dark brown with silver tips. It's reeeaally pretty but I'm not sure what kind of animal it'd make a good fursuit of. I was thinking a Werewolf or Grizzly bear, but again, I'm not sure. What do ya' think? : P

Also, a WIP toony canine head:

She's in the duct taping stages at the moment. But when I finish her. she'll be all white with a longish tuft of purple fur on her head.

It might be cool for Cinnabon-san's Robin Hood comic to have a simple little web page of its very own. Anybody want to make one for me? I'm no good at web design. Something simple with no scripts. Feel free to use any graphics from the RH comic for the purposes of making the web page.

thanks,

I whipped these three hats up this morning, and I'm trying to refine my measurements.

I'm not too hot with visual proportions and stuff, so could anyone tell me if these look okay? I kind of feel like the ears are too short/narrow. What do you think?

Heading to a 4th of July party soon, and they have spent like $2500 on fireworks

fun :D

Happy Birthday America=p or as the jackass Sean Hannity would say, "Happy Birthday America, The Greatest, best country God has ever given man on the face of the Earth=p What an idiot=D

Anyway and seriously, hope all of you have a happy and safe July Fourth. I spent yesterday here on base in Rota, Spain participating in a series of base wide sporting evens, like Softball, tug-of-war, dodge ball, volleyball, 5k run, and others. Then enjoyed the celebration with great food and a decent fireworks display. Then today about 12 of us piled into a couple of our vans and drove down to Gibraltar and spend the day in the English colony. It was great, my second trip down. I love the atmosphere and the little city is beautiful. I still can't get over the fact that you have to walk/drive across the only airport's runway to access the colony=D Anyway the locals were much more friendly then the Spanish have ever been since our arrival, and even celebrated with us, toasting America and the former motherland alike=D Got save the Queen, that's right I said it=p

Hope all you get to see fireworks since the bloody commie Chinese have dropped the ball on firework production/shipment this year, thus causing a global shortage. I am so sick of China already=p China this, China that, everything is China, China, China these days. So I guess this is what it is like for the rest of the world when it comes to us=p Turnabout is a bitch=D

Well, this simple Happy Independence Day message went longer then I intended, so I will talk to you all later.

So i had a fuggin BLAST at AC, got to see tons of folks i didnt get to meet last year. I skipped the Brawl Tournament this year for Narse's bad movie room party. I missed out last year and it was totally worth it! we watched Shoot Em Up and Robot Jocks XD it was magical. If it hadnt been so late we woulda got Riki-Oh in there to really top off the evening XD

This was the best AC yet, Tons of folks, Tons of fun, and i still love Pittsburgh!


I was THIS CLOSE to getting a new kickass tatoo from Fossil but i didnt have my refferences and he was out of needles. Im gonna be first in line next year to get one from him >:3

Also he gave me an AWESOME new con badge :O

The punctuation on the whole thing was when Narse showed up as Jesus in the big hang out spot XD
Upon which a penis coptor took to the sky. Not unlike this one

And I gotta share :) The surprise execution of Thriller at the Dance Competition! =)

More obscure local graffiti, which is entirely too self conscious - especially that "aside" which is needy and obvious.
3 out of 10 for taking the potential and ruining it. Back to Crayons 101 with you and here's a complimentary copy of Avoiding Graffiti Exposition for Dummies.

Weekend is inevitably being eaten by the scribble factory whose machinations wind up as the week slows down. In the lull before this storm I amused myself by downloading Paper Mario onto the Wii - which is filled with heart points, star points, flower points, rainbows, candystripes and tinkly-winkly sounds everywhere - unequivocally making it the gayest thing I've done all week.

I'm up late drawing vomit and that's got to be blogworthy.

been awake only around 19 hours, but im so exhausted

rock band, nerf gun fights, booze and a hour treck to Walmart and back, yeah, husky needs bed

gnight <3

I went out and did not find ANY fur for my caracal that was an appropriate length (they had stuff so short it might as well been fleece) but I did find a nice colour. I need to shop around some more tomorrow if the stores are open.

I did find the mesh, and have made a rather crummy framework. I didn't have yarn at home after all so I used small parts of wax thread (for leatherworking, my fiancé makes armour) to get parts tied enough to go off of. I still need to cut the ears and attach. I actually had friends over (who have no idea I'm into this sort of thing, I told them the honest truth that I intend to mascot for my friend's cat rescue group and left out the furry part) and they helped me measure and mark as I held it to my head so I'm rather excited right now at how little time I spent on this armature.

I also did not have brads! or rubber bands OR BALSA WOOD so I'm about to make a midnight Wal-Mart run!

I asked my fiancé if he had balsa wood and he said sure! and handed me this BLOCK of it and then said, "Oh, you mean CUT. No all I have is this brick. We'd have to go to my mom's to use their saw to make you a slice." Fail!

Yes I intend to make it more solid once I get some yarn/string. This is just a general concept. It's at a very easy to take part stage right now so if I need to adjust it, I totally can. That bar holding the bridge of the nose into a correct position however cannot go any higher or it will obscure my vision. I intend to use resin eyes and see out the tear ducts.

How's it look so far, my dear more-experienced friends?

Hey there,

I'm working on my first suit so please excuse the noob questions:

I have a quick question, has anyone ever purchased fur from this site:

http://www.big4fabrics.com/fakefur.html

I was just wondering, since there seems to be no clear way on the site to order, if anyone has dealt with them? If you have to order over phone or through email or something I am maybe overlooking?

And while we are on that topic, is their shag fur nice or does anyone have experience with it?

Thanks a lot in advance! I appreciate any help!

And to make this post a little more interesting you can have a pic of my my rough and early stages of the head. It's hopefully going to be a rabbit one day:

(looks kinda silly because there is no bottom jaw yet)

And don't worry, when I get to the paws I won't put pads on them ;p

For those of you who have been waiting for this, from now until Sunday the outrageously expensive foam sheets at Jo-Ann's is 50% off.

Cold Foam, dying to try it (not just for fursuiting but also for a LARP tengu costume) but can't find it in the UK and to ship it here would be costly and/or some things in the kits can't be flown.
I was at a LARP recently talking to some mask makers and I asked if it was cold foam they were using, they just sneered down their noses with "oh, is that what the kids are calling it these days" so I imagine that it has different names over here too, I just can't find them or I have but aren't sure if they are the right products.

Could anyone tell me if anything on this page is what I need for cold foam mask making please? http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Mould-Making-and-Casting-Supplies_Polyurethane-Resin-Foam_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZ1QQfsubZ12QQftidZ2QQtZkm
Theres so much jargon that flies over my head!

Also these mask makers wouldn't sell me an unpainted cold foam gnoll masks because they are scared of people painting them up "crap" and giving their business a bad name which was a shame. I'll just go buy my masks from elsewhere (namely blue hyena.....if your reading it was at Maelstrom that I was at) when I need them.

Thanks everyone!

Just a couple of our newest suits that debuted at AC this past weekend. :D Been trying a few things here and there, and had a lot of fun working on quite a few new things for this con and getting a chance to meet some of our customers in person was great ! The Loki dragon sports a feline tail as he is a "kitty dragon"
More to come :)
