Don't mind the BILLION COLOURS- I ran out of black fleece early on and INSTEAD OF WAITING FIVE DAYS and getting nothing done, I finished it with whatever I had laying around.
SO I PRESENT YOU WITH PURPLE BLACK DARK RED FLESH TONE AND PINK BODYBUILDER
In order, upper view of torso, full view of body, digitigrade legs(From the side, you can see the other knee because of the spacing between them as they are quite thick), and a closeup of the torso/arm muscles.
Because of the longpile fur on the extremities, there was no need for muscles here as the 4" fur would conceal any detail completely.

Its mostly just cutting and pinning fur over the muscle suit to get it to fit right, and then sewing around all the muscle padding(AGAIN!) once the fur is on to make the detail of the muscle really show.
This isn't so bad to get into though because its all permanently attached :3 You just get into the lycra suit underneath and go!(Well, head and hands and sometimes feet on and THEN go! XD) They're easier to get into but harder to clean :3 These guys are all hand soaking/hand washing, and the foam ABSORBS the hell out of some water XD I usually give mine a light wringing and then hang them between two large box fans to dry for a day or two. I put a few spoonfuls of rubbing alcohol into the tub along with my laundry soap so that no bacteria gets to growing in the foam while its drying :)

Speaking of washing, I'm going to have to wash my suit very soon. My almost twice a month downtown suiting is taking it's toll on my smell. I smell like a real dog more and more (okay wolf, but that's not the expression <: )
I just need to turn the bodysuit inside out, take out the tail stuffing, and fill my bathtub with some detergent right? Scrub the privates and underarms with dove regualr bar soap, and then soak the rest of the suit,right? Just don't want to mess anything up.
My one friend actually machine washes his believe it or not, but i think his was machine stitched. Not that i think your stitching would come out, but i don't want to risk a machine, and especially a standard upright washer. Maybe if it wasone of those tumble washers, but a regular washer wouldn't seem to do much to me.

Right you go :3 There's a few videos of how to do it on my youtube channel(Skanrashke). Three of them for the bodysuit and one for the feet I think.
You can do it in the bathtub, just fill it about half full with 2-4 tablespoons of liquid(CLEAR NOT ANY COLOUR D:) detergeant :3 Blue detergeants can stain white fur. Your gray would be OK but the whtie might change colour. Alternately you can just scrub it clean with some soap and dont have to put any detergeant in the tub.
Once its scrubbed clean, rinse it out, and then give it a GENTLE wringing, then you can either throw it in the dryer on NO HEAT(Air fluff) or set it in front of some box fans while Its hanging up(I get a thick piece of PVC or dowel rod about 3 feet long and run it between two chairs, and lay my suit on that rod, then put a box fan on each side on HIGH overnight). It should be dry in a few hours. Make sure to put some towels under it to help catch dripping :3

Yeah i need to buy a new fan, I currently only have a pedestal fan, which works for drying after suiting and spraying with anit-bac, but would fail for wash-level drying.
I think I would use probably just a light, Free & Clear style detergent I have anyways. And speaking of discoloration, I bought a leather collar, a red one, to wear with my suit. I showed it to you at AC i believe. Anyway, I used an older belt to extend it so it's wearable with suit, but I've recently noticed a very faint pinkish red stain on the white tuft on my chest from the damn collar. It shows up in pictures almost too... Any ideas to get the collar to stop "bleeding" in my suit when I sweat? I don't want to ruin the collar by getting it terribly wet, but I also don't want to ruin the chest fur before my suit is even 6 months old.

Thats weird.. it shouldn't bleed unless they dyed the leather o.O You could use some kind of blocker over the edges of the collar.. I would put hot glue on the back of it and along the thin edges of the sides since its clear and would prevent bleeding, but something like that like rubber cement or something should prevent it from bleeding. You might want to contact the folks who made it and ask them? I don't know that much about leather and stuff :X
No more than a regular suit, actually- its mostly the fur. The spandex base is VERY close to the skin so theres no room for air to get in there and get all hot an nasty, unlike a regular fursuit. But the extra foam does get uncomfortable after a few hours. Now, I'm working on one of these(experimentally) out of fleece instead of fur as the covering. I'll let you know how hot that gets.
Cooler than a plain suit that doesn't fit well, actually. No room for air to move around in, so no hot air circulation. JUST GOOD OLD FASHIONED BODY HEAT. Its about the same as a longpile fur bodysuit. My muscle suit is covered in fleece, so I don't even break a sweat in it(And I can't stand wearing longpile fur cause I just die). I don't know how warm it would get with fur on it, though.
