Choosing a boar fursona is a contrarian rear end move. You know that choice is fully influenced by everyone else being a wolf or fox or whatever, you know, the hot animals

You follow the path

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

How do furries gently caress without suffering a heat stroke?

edit: Wait inflating it with air would help!

Youtube must know something I don't right? Should I be buying a fursuit? Oh gently caress I could get that buff Sonic avatar I use to have. Chili dog.

I dont buy fursuits but i do buy plushes(handmade ones of charaters i like for shelves and tops of tv) and other stupid commision poo poo. it honestly depends on details and artist and such and how big. i usually go small(10/13 inch tall or so) and thats usually 150+ depending on etc. I can only imagine NSFW poo poo is way more expensive. Fursuits are all that plus have to be fitted and poo poo. i am not shocked that its expensive as gently caress.

There are a small handful of good makers from China and such, but it's only around a 50% discount from a higher end US based maker (the mass counterfeit makers are much cheaper but they look bad). I think there's probably room in the market for a China-based team making high quality $1000 wolf/dog heads with slight variations, but nobody's filled it.

It's really lame going with wolf/dog when there's a whole bunch of animals. It's like playing as Ryu/Ken or picking human in an rpg. You could be a bright blue hedgehog who likes chili dogs and wears red shoes.

Oh for sure, but for a maker's standpoint if you wanna make a business, making one really good dog pattern and mixing up the colors on an assembly line hits such a big market.

high skill work with extremely high demand, especially due to word of mouth meaning if you do good work you can build a portfolio and ride high on being The One people want.
it's like this for art too but fursuits and avatars is the endgame for that.

Wait, so you're saying I can use a fursuit as an emergency flotation device now, too?

Maybe I will get the Brain from Animaniacs. That would be double-safe in an emergency.

imo fursuits are obsolete now that you can be an animated dog man in vr with detailed face and body tracking instead of a creepy dead mascot face staring blankly into space

i still can't believe facebook wasted billions of dollars on a sterile crotchless metaverse instead of going after the weird internet subcultures with deep pockets, but at least they make good vrchat hardware

This makes me extremely uncomfortable.

My furry story is that I used to live with a professional comic book artist who, like twice a year, would rent a table at furry conventions and sell commissions. She made enough in two weekends to cover rent for the year. Apparently she mostly sold "badges" which are like quick little character commissions that took her like 20 minutes and she charged like 80 bucks.

Anyway there's money to be made there for sure.
