That's why I'm trying to make fursuitmak.ing for makers of all skill levels, not just beginners. There's always something new to learn!

The scene has changed so much since I made my first suit in 2019. The fursuit making medium is as technical as it is artistic. I *love* when I see makers try new things that haven't been seen before, and I want to encourage that exploration throughout the community.

Something I am going to spend time delving into is the idea of fursuit theory and fursuit R&D. How can we make fursuits *better*? What mathematical concepts can we apply to making suits? How can we push the boundaries of this medium with new materials, new shapes, new styles... there's so much!

Hey everyone! I made an announcement channel + chat on Telegram for the fursuitmak.ing website. I'm hoping to get more people involved with this project to make it a true community hub for learning fursuit making. If you are a maker looking to help other makers, come join! t.me/fursuit_making

Historically I've been very shy on social media but I am going to try to do more fursuit nerd posting. If you are a fellow fursuit nerd who loves fursuit construction/history/techniques as much as I do... you're in luck :)

I'm pouring a lot into these next few projects and it feels amazing. Some personal suits, some commissions... and eventually some artist-designed suits (trying to avoid the term "premade"). I found my spark again and it's amazing!

But fursuits are art. I kind of forgot that, and I forgot that I should be making art for the sake of making art. I *love* looking at unique fursuits with unique features, designs, and styles. It took me so long to realize that... I can do that too. So that's what I'm doing :)

I lost myself in the process of trying to make suits for other people and to clear a queue for the longest time. When I first got into making suits in 2019, I jumped in a bit too fast, and established my relationship with fursuit making as "I make fursuits for other people".

JTAG - www.fursuitmak.ing @fursuitmak.ing · 20/07/2026
I am in the process of shifting my relationship to fursuit making to be more artistic. I am taking my time working on suits now to put as much love and detail into each one as possible. Experimenting and challenging myself has been way more fun for me and I feel far more motivated now.

Hello hello, long time no see! I've got a fresh coat of paint as JTAG (my little weasel guy!) feels much more like my fursona now. I was hit with a long period of burnout but I am finally getting back on my feet. Expect more casual fursuit making posting from here on out :) (more info in thread!)

I feel like I'm finally unlocking the full potential of Nomad Sculpt by mastering all the masking features and the tube feature. The current base I'm working on will have magnetic swappable eyes and I am so proud of myself for figuring all of this out!

Mofumofu! I specifically chose the colors based on their stretch fur offerings as ik stretch fur is a lotttt harder to colormatch. I'm not familiar with gummyshark though, do you have a link to their site? 👀

Your green critter was what inspired me to make this guy!! I'll keep it in mind bc the smooth look is fantastic, I do like how the pile of stretch fur allows for a little more margin of error though

Here's a fun concept I did of a pooltoy plush-style fullsuit. Made out of stretch fur with sewn highlights for a fun and super toony look and feel, complete with a nozzle, handlebars, intentional seams, and lots of round shapes :) #fursuitmaker #fursuit

I haven't made a digi bodysuit since 2022 and I've never made one with this foam method. Honestly I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a very particular shape (esp for slim or sharper digi) and will likely be making a tutorial on my website about it in the future!
What we called the "fun pants". Blue neoprene pants with foam glued at the thighs, knee, and butt to form digi legs. There are shoes at the bottom with foam sculpted toes. Please excuse the messy backgroundThe "fun pants" all taped up with duct tape. You can really see the final vision here!

Today I finished teaching @averagefurr.bsky.social how to make a fursuit bodysuit! We finished it in one week together! We sculpted everything by hand and were incredibly happy with how it turned out :D Head and handpaws by @cedaryote.bsky.social

Their arms are crossed over their legs and you can clearly see the slim digitigrade shape from this anglePhoto of Jam with their paws raised as they lean up against a fence. There are cow sculptures in the background and some flowers.

This is rare, but I’m considering maybe taking on 1-2 longer-term fursuit commissions due to the upcoming material price hike. I won’t be officially open for comms again in a *very long* time (at least a year from now) so this is a rare opportunity to get a custom suit from me! #fursuit

Fun fact: I had to learn how to braid in order to make his hair. Each braid is 3 strips of fur that had their backings brushed so they’re double sided fur pieces, then I braided them how you would human hair!
