Why are they so small you ask? Because they were taken with the Shaky Cam [TM] of course! I basically did that to avoid any complaints of how blurry they would be at larger sizes.

I really need to get around to getting newer pictures; the fursuit isn't even complete in these pics (they were taken to show off the spots which I had just put on at the time). Even now its still not done... Need to finish the pads, replace the nose with a permanent one, do the mouth, finish the ears, etc etc. Just got busy with other projects. I still do plan on getting things done bit by bit, though likely interspaced with other projects (until perhaps I do a complete remake of the fursuit with better construction XD)

As I usually do, I take a little artistic license with the anatomy (Especially when it better suits my purposes; here, I just extended the mane down to the tail. Perfect for hiding the zipper) - and as is often the case, spot density is lower than it really should be ;)

Anyways, about the fursuit.

It was the first non-prototype fursuit I made that was designed to minimize heat retention, not through bulky under-suit cooling systems or fans or ice packs, but by simply being as tight and light as possible to minimize the amount of air that could get trapped and accumulate heat.

As such, the body is designed to be even more form fitting than on my prior wolf fursuit, and the head uses almost no inner framework; what it does have are a few sparse strips of foamies, which were used to anchor the fur down to a roughly-head-like shape, and the fur retains the shape very well on its own. A tradeoff with the head design is that its so tight I have no hope of getting my glasses on underneath, but I've managed to manage perfectly fine; I suppose it makes up for that shortcoming in having essentially unrestricted vision, and my glasses fit fine on top of the head if I do need them (ie, to read text on a computer screen without mashing my snout up against it or see something far off)

Its insanely comfortable and not-hot; while my wolf fursuit would get broiling in even lowish 10s C/low 50s F, this one stays comfortable even at temperatures in the 80s F (higher than that and there is nothing better than 'tolerable' for me short of active thermal transfer clothing), but it also stays warm in low temperatures as well. In part, this has to do with the choice of fur; the wolf fursuit had very thick fur, while the fur on this fursuit is a fair amount thinner. Furthermore, head construction is very different; in contrast to the extremely light construction of the head, the wolf fursuit still had thick solid foam all around, though it had been constructed to try to get it as tight as possible; there were limits though, and there was no getting around the fact that solid foam is an irritatingly awesome insulator.

Seams were done with a more heavily reinforced double-sewn&glued backing system derived from the way I did the wolf. The reason I put more emphasis on reinforcement was because since it would be tighter, it would also come under greater strain under movement. While more current fursuits I'm working on are using elastic to overcome this (one WIP fursuit was started before I did that though, so it too has heavily reinforced seams), it certainly did a good job. Not nearly good enough for my satisfaction though, as I went and re-did a number of them simply to make them stronger, in a slightly modified version I was already using on the aforementioned WIP fursuit.
