First let me say that I consider myself a furry even though Ive never been around other furries, or even worn a fursuit. Ive talked to furries on dA and FA and from what I heard fursuits arent the most comfortable thing to wear. Its hot, you cant see that great and theres a list of other annoyances.
Heres my idea. Ive been thinking of a way to make a new type of fursuit that acts more like a second layer of skin rather then a whole body. It works like this. The bulk of the suit is a spandex leotard kind of thing. It can have tuffs of fur attached to it via hot glue with fabric on the underside to avoid skin irritation from the hardened glue. The point would be for the spandex to be in the pattern of the fur with the tuffs to accent things like in the middle of the chest, elbows, shoulders, feet, ect.
The face would be made of light weight latex to make a muzzle, brow, flaps to cover human ears, ect. You can have fur fixed to it much the same way as the suit. For hair you can use your natural hair, dye, or wigs. This would give it more of a sense of realism, make vision and other senses better. Also if applied right you could show emoting with your face because your brow could move the late and you could open and close your eyes and mouth.
To finish off the effect, you could wear your normal clothes over the suits to give it more of a personalized feel so it really is your fursona.
Im still trying to invent a free swaying tail and am very close. Wings are still iffy but Im sure ill get to it.
So thats what Ive got so far. So now Im putting this up on dA in hopes of getting some comments, improvement ideas, feedback, and advice. Any help would be great thanks for reading

Yeah, but it'd be rather hard to construct the suit in the first place. If you made them, and they were good quality and enjoyable, I can assure that you'd make a lot of money.
Have a great time everyone and please fav this article so as many people can see the featured works. I would recommend seeing each one and faving them too.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
