After three long months, Shaymus is finally finished. This suit was full of firsts for me, as I try and pack as much experimentation as I can into each suit. Its the only way to learn, afterall! Push the limits!

I took a long hiatus in the middle of the body suit when I became severely frustrated and discouraged with how things were going. After encouragement from my family and friens, I was able to step up to plate again and get to work once more. I spent many anime seasons working on Shaymus, including Avatar, xxxHolic, Pumpkin Scissors, and every Studio Ghibli movie I own on DVD.

Shaymus' special features include: padded stomach and bottom, moving jaw, removable/interchangeable tongue, latex pawpads (courtesy Monoyasha), kilt, sporan, and tam (courtesy a kind coworker whom is an avid knitter), handmade belt by me, and stuffed pawpads.

Vision is out the eyes, venhilation out the mouth.
