Full Costumes and Costuming

[geekgo4]

 Ever since I have learn about these two concepts, I became fond of them. I have always(well, almost) did see a bit of charm in them. Trying to become a different being and never saying a word... well, alomst never.

Link Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kigurumi

So, what are(or wre) your thoughts on these concepts? Do you still find Fursuits and Kigurumi creepy and disturbing? Did you find any good pictures of them?

So what would creep you out the most? The very bad designs with little effort and it makes it obvious that that's a male in that suit, or the really good designs with pure effort and looks very ambiguous. And if there is actually a female in that suit...

The same can apply to Fursuits. And mostly how both act and potray.



I also realise something...

Some Mascot Coatumes used for advertising really are well-made.

Yeah, I'm insane.

I DO NOT THINK LIKE THOSE FREAKS! I try to visualize this as an art form. As Trying to animate something to life.
Sometime, thoughts and imagination can make a person go too far, think they really are the character.

But, really, it's suppose to be like the character costumes that entarain people in theme parks, not the erotic kind.


Oh, and I AM NOT ONE MYSELF!

Robotnik fursuit > Major LOL

Okay, okay I get it.
Never the less... Fursuits of any kind deserve to be burned, and are not in any way a form of art.
[Neither are kigurumi, but whatever]

[Aresian]

*stares blankly* I see RPM has reached new lows in my absence.

I'm disappointed in life. Bye. *jumps off a bridge*

Seriously what have you got against these suits?

...it's the erotic crap, isn't it?

[tornado fang]ing furries.
That's all there needs to be said.

Denial~
Which stage is that again?

[geekgo4]

Denial~
Which stage is that again?

Okay. I can't afford a suit. I can't pull off the facade either.

I just like looking at the designs. So much work and texture. Is that so wrong?

Suurely some one here has a favorite form of costume desing.

[Rin]

Suurely some one here has a favorite form of costume desing.

Indeed.

[GuardianHX]

I don't want to see this stuff when returning to RPM after having been gone for so long... But... I... Ugh, whatever floats your boat man.

Indeed.

Ahhh, much better.

This too:

[Flame]

I say "whatever floats your boat".

You like it? Good for you.

just dont bring all that fursecution crap my way, and im just fine.

"art form"? well, if you mean something Akin to Cosplay or just plain costuming and [parasitic bomb], than I guess? thing is, most furries dont quite see it that way. They just want to BE anthropomorphic animals.


The "Dolling" one, or whatever wikipedia called it, IS actually rather creepy. But once again, whatever floats your boat.

That aside, random topic on the matter is random.

[geekgo4]

Well... I did want to post something like this during the end of October, because of... the costumes.

Okay, I can see that the idea of fursuits CAN be a bit off by some people.

But, I guess the the point still stands. Most people here want to see a face, instead of a mask.

I guess do some character costumes form theme parks creep you out, as well?

[Quickman]

Personally, when I design costumes, I like to design a full-head mask.  It's more challenging to do so, and the end result can be awesome.  I'd rather cover the face than allow it to show through, unless the costume I'm designing is clearly human.  The majority of my costumes, though, have been full-head masks and accompanying ensemble.  They are very restrictive, very stuffy, hard to see out of, and very, very hot, I can assure you that.  I don't envy mascot characters at all, or anyone who needs to stand under hot stage lights in a full costume.

Anywho, I've been monitoring this topic to an extent.  The discussion of costuming is fine, and I would rather it stay there.  If it starts going into fetishes, though, this bugger's getting locked.

QuickEdit: I changed the title to something a bit more broad.  Now, let us move away from the icky connotations associated with fursuits and to a general costuming topic of discussion.

[geekgo4]

I guess it can't be helped. At least someone knows the concept.


In addition to full-head masks, many "Dollers" tend to use skin-tight garments called "Zentais" to cover the entire body. That way, no one can really tell if they performer is either mal e or female.

Here's a couple of vids on how's it's made.

So, Quickman. Is this something you have seen before?

But, anyway, for Full Costuming, I was really talking about stuff like this.

What do you think, now?

[Mirby]

I kinda like the kigurumi. As I see it, to each their own.

Who and what is that?

Sometimes fursuits should be better off left as Mascots.. *shrugs* >.>

That's not how I remember Lelouch... I'm guessing that must be some kind of uniform.

[Rin]

I don't get it.
Are you serious, or are you just pretending?
Either way... it's not Lelouch.
IT'S ZERO!

They're not that bad. NOt all fursuiters think nor go "that way."
