Are you a fursuit maker who dreads color matching fur? You’re in luck! Recently I’ve been chipping away at coding something potentially revolutionary: A FUR COLOR PICKER! 🎨 No prototypes yet but keep your eyes peeled these next couple of weeks!

Fellow makers! What is your favorite type of headbase (carved foam, 3D printed, resin, etc) and why? I’m writing up a guide on different types of bases and I’d love some input!

unpopular fursuit opinion: I LOVE GIGANTIC FURSUIT EYES it's more of an anime style thing i guess. proportions of fursuit eyes are usually 90% of the time within average proportions. but hoo baby when da suit has big stylized eyes... 👁️👄👁️ dat window to the soul is OPEN

I acknowledge that colors vary from monitor to monitor so this is more of a jumping off point than an end all be all. It leads people in the right direction, and I would still recommend getting some swatches, but it’ll still save a LOT of time and effort :D
