Blue-footed booby? xD That's such an awesome design.

You sure you want people to find you at AC? :p But I think it's possible.

People found me last year, I was surprised at the number of people that recognized me by my badge alone. Now I need a way to hide my hideous faaaace.

Bah, you know you're good looking. Sipping on that fountain of youth and all.

Just noticed the gender/sex split. Awesome. :)
on the suit: you emphatic enough about it to try to get it done?

Yes. I actually designed Kouei purely from a suiting perspective. I am too short to go as Reiger and any typical scalie/fur would not be very practical for me. So I came up with this:

* lots of black in the face since I noticed eye-holes are usualy grills on dark parts under the eyes. The entire beak could be a tight black mesh in theory.
* long beak that, if hinged to open, would not require much movement at the base to make the tip articulate noticably.
* the cat lowerpart would be a skintight leotard, not very hot to wear and allows regular clothes to go overtop.
* the only heavy/hot 'furry' part is the head and a mantle over the shoulders and chest, but it is white to reflect heat from light sources.
* the chibi-wings on the back are plush, no wire, so they don't get fucked when I sit in a chair or hurt if I bump them into someone. They might also be optional, and attached by a harness piece under the mantle should I want to wear a shirt that doesn't have the back cut out
* the blue booby-arms would be evening gloves. With the leotard and gloves being pre-fab, construction difficulty is reduced (I just have to find those pieces in a store though, hopefully a fursuit builder would have channels in local costume shops). They are also machine washable and replacable.
* generic tail is generic, matching whatever sort of colour/print I get the leotard in, attached to underwear under leotard.

I -ASSUME- this would make for a light, comfortable, and visually eye-catching suit that is not very hot to wear and allows for good vision. Part of why I am trying to find a suit builder is so they can confer with my and tell me I am wrong.


DEAR FURSUIT MAKERS I HAVE MONEY COME ON PLEASE REPLY

I'm impressed at how thoughtful you were in this description. That kind of detail would definitely put you in favor with some fursuit artists who like a clear outcome and no vagaries. :)

Maybe you need a FA journal to alert your fans that this isn't just a picture/concept, it's a desire for a fursuit matching it. :)

Remove the rectangle.

Hipster gryph.

Cool concept. ^_^

And what about your excellent comic?
