"Bad" Fursuits & Amateur Makers [The Bottle Ep18]

[@PocariRoo]

Today MadeFurYou posted this picture of their improvement and everyone needs to go check it out!! twitter.com/MadeFurYou/status/902567782318931968 Look at that first suit in 2008. It took them 8 YEARS to get to the level they are now. There's no way anyone could have predicted how far they'd go with that first suit. So never judge a maker because they're new or amateur, they could be a god tier maker in a few years!!

[@kittenzcatz6855]

Pocari Roo awesome!

[@ninjawingsjtt9172]

Pocari Roo how did you make your paws

[@mythicalminoaj7090]

Hey Pocari! I am a young furry getting ready to make my first fursuit. The problem is that my parents ( aka my mom) is on a budget and I cant get money by doing chores or anything else. PLEASE HELP OR GIVE TIPS!!! Hello From Tenessee!

[@squig1249]

Pocari Roo what material do you use for you're pads on your paws?

[@mossgarden7141]

Pocari Roo i have a question...who made ur suit?.. cuz righ know ima tryingto find a furrsuit maker right 4 me

[@strawbunnymilk81]

I'm not a furry and I don't fully understand being a furry, but I genuinely have a great respect for the fandom and what I've witnessed from it. You guys are really good with policing your own community and shutting down any toxic people or mindsets. Whenever I see furries being bullied by others in the fandom you guys are so quick to offer support and encouragement for the victim. I wish I could say the same for every fandom. I hope you guys continue to make your community a positive space for everyone.

[@tsohgallik]

Well for starters the concept looks easy... First you find an animal that you like... Dog, cat, lion, wolf, mouse, rat, even birds...And dragon too... Then the idea is to try and draw a cartoony looking animal with human parts. Then as for the costume you will need to try and morph the parts of the drawing into real life materials... Foam, Fabrics, Plastics, Paper Mache, Metal Wires.... You can also use the Art that has already been made to look for ideas on how to draw something that can be used for the Fandom in general.... The best thing you can do though is not show the art to others because then you will be accused of "stealing art" Which in reality makes no sense since many of the Fursuits being created have the same Neon Color schemes and Round Shapes.... The best thing you can do is go for your addition to the Furry Fandom is to create a Fursona that does not look like the typical ones seen already... BUT if that is the kind of Furry you like and want to have then that is okay too.

[@flarethewolf3967]

tsohgallik That’s not what a furry is.. at all

[@cloudwyrms9752]

Then what is it? I myself am new to the fandom, but from what I’ve seen it’s easier to explain by starting with creating an animal character to express yourself.

[@zachary6626]

@@cloudwyrms9752 Well the basic definition is someone that is interested in anthropomorphic animals in any way but the fandom is about creativity and being yourself, your being creative when you make fursonas and, you pretend to be them to gain courage to be yourself, because it's not you

I'm 12 and I really want a fursuit. Preferably, I would want to make my own, but I just don't have the right materials yet. My grandma knows how to sew, and I'm sure that she can teach me how to sew. If I do end up making fursuits, I won't let anyone push me down, no matter how rude they are. I will keep going and prove to them that everyone can get better. Love your videos! Edit: Oh my goodness.. Thank you all so, so much for the positivity! I’m glad that you all are so amazingly kind! Don’t let anyone bring you down! I’ve been going through a lot lately, but that won’t ever stop me from achieving my goals! Respect to you all! ^^

Me too I think this vid was rlly inspirational. Also if your looking for a good tutorial you should go to moon boots channel

[@johnmann6859]

Another pro is the wait time. Popular makers often have months or years on their list already booked!

[@PocariRoo]

Oh yes this is a good one I totally forgot! Not to mention with the amount of competition with popular makers, just getting a slot is a solid feat. Newer makers will be ecstatic to have you!

[@brokenlord3218]

Pocari Roo Hey Wanted to ask how long will the shirts still be sold for

[@deannahowell7823]

another bonus, the maker I'm buying from is so nice and she keeps me in the know on any updates I should be informed about and just chats with me every now and then when she get some down time

[@bpm0132]

Raven Snowfall that is true

[@Svedge]

I can sign that with 5y wait time, a second option to get a pro maker's suit is going to the 2nd hand market, but the suit won't as personal as a commissioned one.

[@Andyatl2002]

This happens to every aspiring artist, they’ll get people that put them down if they aren’t talented from the start but that’s not how it works, you have to work at art to getting better.

If you're a beginner furry ( Such as myself ), I'd reccomend Mugiwara cosplay. I think her tutorials are great. They're helping me on my way to having a fursuit. ^w^

I agree! I have been making suits for around 2 years now and I have used Mugiwara's tutorials from the start to this day.

Hey Pocari Roo, I'm watching you since a Month or something like that. You inspired me, to make a redesign from one of my first Characters, that I drew years ago. And now I was planing to start to make a Fursuite on my own. I was realy struggeling if it is a good idea, to make it by my own... What will the others think, what when it havn't the "Standards" maybe the others don't accept me ... I just thought on quitting, wait untill I got enought money and go to a good fursuite maker. Then I saw this Video. Your words motivate me to go on! I want to make it by my own, for you and for me, and maybe for the Fandom. So I realy want to thank you, for what u do for us!

[@PackofWeirdos]

Ohh man, I've been suit shamed before XD I made a head of my sona 3 times. I'm not ashamed to call them bad since I made em myself. But creating something like that is hard, it takes a lot of patience. My first one was mostly made out of cardboard and fleece.....and I struggled to breathe in that thing LOL My third now looks a lot better but I'm still learning. And I already ordered some fur swatches so I can try to find the right colors for a bodysuit. I would love to make more fursuits someday. I love seeing other new fursuit makers! If you want to try your hand at making your character come to life, do it. Do not be afraid of what jerks think. Any type of art takes patience and practice, and a little pain (hot glue burns, ow) Tutorials are awesome! And I recommend finding out your budget before commissioning or buying your own materials. I'm still figuring that part out. XD Thank you for this, Pocari!

I was sad and distraught over the fact some group of boys were laughing and calling me ugly and creepy and just being a bunch of jerks😥 I’m glad ur covering this situation and hope the ppl that have the expensive and special fursuits that like hating on other ppl understand our pain.

I would really like to figure out how to make suits, but I'm afraid I'm going to spend a bunch of money practicing and end up dropping it... I've started making some puffypaws according to SparkyCanDo's tutorial designed like our school mascot, and I plan to use them as gloves in the winter, and that's the only reason my mom's letting me make them. She thinks all fursuits are only for sexual purposes and I just can't convince her otherwise.

[@eaglespirit7926]

Just adding something to this, I've recently started my own suit, and used Sparky's tutorial, one thing Id advice if you can do it is to not used the foam glued mittens once your done. Line the paws and stuff them instead, since foam will deteriorate if you wash it. There's a tutorial for lining paws somewhere on here, and it'll make it so your paws can be washed and last longer. I hope your mom learns about the other side of the fandom ^^ sucks to have parents that way

[@captainc00tie]

"They don't even see a amateur suit, they see their fursona. Right there in the flesh, Right there." I've never heard something so true. Like dude, quality comes with time, patience, and hard work. Which most people are so scared and you need to have confidence in yourself and you have to leap for it sometimes. I know hate legit hurts, and it sucks, not to mention how annoying it is, but after a while who cares? People are people and some are going to be jerks, but that's when you just don't pay attention and keep pushing on, and in the end, It will all have been worth it on having a great skill and amazing suit. Never let people get you down. Edit: I myself have actually been thinking about attempting at making my own suit (Mostly the head and feet along with sleeves) and this indeed did sort of boost my confidence quite a bit, my own best friend Mocha has attempted to make a head 2 times and they actually looked great especially for a first time. (I need to go show her this video now) But, just thank you, Pocari. Not only this video, but like 20 of your other videos along with this one have helped me so much, and it's great to know there are people in the furry fandom and just people in general that are like you, and honestly. We need more of em' Thank you so much for everything, Pocari.

A while ago I had declared I was a furry. I had gotten so much hate from my family online and friends from my art (that I haven’t even shown them.) That had made me give up on even wanting to start fursuit making and just quit the fandom. Fast forward a couple months, (now), I’ve realized I’ve been sad, secretly watching these videos and doing no art when everything is right there I’m the back of my mind. Just because of this video, I think I’m going to start to work my way up into more designs and artwork, psh maybe even start fursuit making?When I first joined the fandom that was the first thing I had wanted to do!!
