Tail band made from shiny gold pleather
Tail is held up by buckles for the belt.
Arm sleeves held by elastic around upper arm
Handpaws made pretty crappily and I want to redo

Let me tell you. I had no idea what I was doing, and this by far was the hardest thing I have ever done. I messed up ALOT and had to redo, recut out, reglue, etc. I looked up tons of tutorials, watched alot of videos and just looked at other fursuits online (and one at a meetup! and asked questions). I've been wanting to make one ever since 2008 (or maybe alil before) so I'm happy to have finally done so and now shouldn't spend a dime on anything else for a while.

I wanted to give up plenty of the time haha. I made this within 6 weeks of Further Confusion along with still having to work and have a life... and the holidays.
I /do not/ recommend ever doing that, give yourself time. You'll thank yourself and your body won't revolt against you with falling sick or headaches or anything else.

I will be making a body suit alil later on. Digigrade legs, but also two-piece in case I just want to wear the top or just the bottom for full wearing customization.
I hope to be able to figure out blinking eyelids as well as moving ears, as that's something I'd love to add in the future.
