Well, we make costumes for rich horror fans and low budget movies before furries. Furries tend to pay around the $2.4k mark on average. We really need to get the site overhauled and updated with a lot more stuff. It's got mostly my old theatre and larp masks on it at the moment. It will be happening...

I wonder why its expensive to make a suit like that. I know it gets even more expensive when its made for hollywood. Materials run up a lot of the cost, but most is your labour. People don't realise the time these things take to make. The general public expects a great costume at rock bottom prices...

Re: The Perfect Fursuit
I personally think Running Wolf don't charge enough for their costumes. They use a fur which is specifically woven for the product. You have to buy it by the roll (unless you find something to suit on clearance) and the average cost is $40 a sq/ft. This runs the basic materials cost up to $1,000s, b...

Post AC
Woo AC was a good con, I had a lot of fun. I had to miss the dinner, as i'd previously been invited to another, running at the same time held by some publishers I have connections with, and they were buying me free italian food :P Accommodation was fun - slept in a room with a load of strangers i'd ...

Well, I know the basics, but a lot of the suits requiring more muscle definition need to made in a way that requires no sewing machines. Only the toony mascot-y suits need them. And usually, I get people in to do it for me then, because I know they can do a quicker, better job than me. I stick to th...

I don't use papier mache, but don't worry - I fear the sewing machine too. I glue my fur on, you just need to be careful around the seams. My masks are sculpted, moulded and then cast in foam. But it's a pretty tricky process involving hazardous chemicals. Some people swear by chopping upholstery fo...

Yea, the Laurell K Hamilton books are written from the point of view of a vampire lover. The werewolves aren't depicted in the best light, but that aside, the books can be fun. They don't touch on Robin Hobb in the slightest,. I do really recommend reading those. The good Laurell K content includes ...

My site is here:
http://www.primalvisions.com
But it's costumes, not art.
I do have a little art in my other site under the art section:
http://www.thebluehyena.com
But it's not all finished yet.

Re: When is a furry not a furry? When you've escaped Azkaban
Therianthropy and the furries are closer than most therians will admit. The difference seems to be a preference for realistic mental and literal imagery. If a therian had the time, energy, and budget to make a fursuit, it would not be cute, but instead would look as close as possible to the real th...

Ah, yes, Terminator really was a CGI forerunner. And did you ever catch the kids cartoon Re-boot? Amazing graphics well ahead of it's time. Even some modern stuff doesn't compare. However bullet time is not CG. Completely different principle - although doing it badly can still give you something tha...

Since I work in the industry .....
I'd have to say, the best effects that I have seen so far are a blend of suits and CG. The two do not have to be mutually exclusive. One good example was Hellboy. True, a mediocre movie in terms of plot and substance - but the fish guy was amazing. A lovely creatire suit, with CG breathing and blink...
