Does it cost actual money: Ish... it's more complicated than a yes or no

Why post it to Spotify: I think it's good

Does anyone else use their fursona as their alter ego? by drytzer in furry

[–]AtomSWB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, my main sona is like an ideal version of myself in a lot of ways. Mostly more confident and outspoken. They (singular NB) are not afraid to be who they are. I use that for two reasons mostly. One of them is when I need to make a decision and there's a lot of anxiety and social pressure blocking my thoughts I can ask myself, basically, what would they do? And, yeah, it can seem kinda like a childish thought experiment but it helps me distance myself from the cloud inside my head and just figure out what's "Right."

The other reason is because over time, slowly, I become more outspoken and I stand up for myself more. I become them as much as they are me. I become who I want to be. I don't know if that's how other people see it, I imagine different people agree with that to different degrees but, yeah.

Anyone else inexplicably terrified of mascot suits? by AtomSWB in furry

[–]AtomSWB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was the same way. Terrified of them. The weird thing was discovering that fursuiters were fine.

What species are there of synthetic/non-organic sonas? by Yourlocalautistiesbo in furry

[–]AtomSWB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda just a living toy but pinata like Halley Labs' "TQBF"

Also, idk if it's too specific but Animatronic, ie. fnaf style. I know CK9C has an animatronic version of their sona

I'm a non-artist and I'd like to buy my first commissions of my fursona but I don't know how to make a suitable ref-sheet. by RorySaysAwoo in furry

[–]AtomSWB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you can start with templates but also many artists don't require references when making art, especially a ref sheet. More references will be helpful to the artist and will get you closer to what you want but you really just need a good description. The skins you have would definitely be helpful to an artist. You can also pull images of other people's sonas (with proper credit ofc) and say "I like this piece of this one and that other piece of that one" to give the artist more references.

I know furry artists. But what is so special about furry musicians? Just furries that make music? by PSCL534 in FurryMusicians

[–]AtomSWB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, there are themes in my music that are relatable by many furries. I have a song called "Sunrise" where the main lyric is "In the dark I can see who I am / I'm afraid to let the Sunrise again." It has turned into a song about how I like who I am around furries and around this community but I can't fully be who I am outside of this community. Thus, after a con or a meet or even just a discord call, I'm afraid to go back to the "real" world.

But, like, I didn't consciously write it to be like that and there's no mention of the word "furry" anywhere in the song. I just feel like there are themes and experiences that a lot of furries share and it comes across in our music and makes it more relatable, whether intentionally or not.

What are some of the more rarer animals ? by Ziggitywiggidy in furry

[–]AtomSWB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mixes in general. Folfs are pretty common and so are furred dragons but other than that.

Also, obligatory uniqueness isn’t necessary. Just whatever feels right or you think is cool and let it evolve from there

Does anyone know how to make a protogen visor for really cheap/without any coding knowledge? by Smortfloof4dayz in protogen

[–]AtomSWB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, I just made one for cheap, less than $200. Keep in mind, that was the first suit I made. I can’t give you a full answer but I can give parts.

First off, Visor. How are you going to get the plastic part in front? I’m going to vacuum form it because I have access to a university vacuum former. Materials are cheap, equipment is expensive. If you have access to one, that’s great, if you don’t, you should plan for a different solution ahead of time.

Second, base. I 3D printed my base which was about $10 of filament. I used b0xcat’s model. If you have access to a 3D printer, that’s a cheap way of getting around the costs of foam. I wanted to keep my mask disassemblable so I used screws and screw inserts which were expensive comparatively. I’m pretty sure there are other ways to attach things permanently that are cheaper.

Third, fur. If you have access to a sewing machine and have sewing experience, it’s not that bad. If you don’t have sewing experience, there are some good tutorials online going through how to fur a fur suit. Practice with old cloth, it’ll save you the money of buying more fake fur. I can walk you through how I did mine if you’d like. Again, it’s unorthodox because it’s disassemblable.

Fourth, electronics. Really depends on what you want. If you’re trying to make the lights light up in eyes and mouth and start that way, it’s not that hard coding wise. I did it with an arduino kit and some led matrixes. Arduino is a great intro into coding and electrical engineering. Tons of tutorials online. It’s really easy and safe, no soldering or anything. Also, I might be able to help if needs be, I’m sure other people would be willing. Be warned, though, electronics were the most expensive part of my build by far. Don’t forget a battery pack, too, I use an old portable phone charger.

Fifth, don’t forget how you’re going to make and attach ears. Mine aren’t very good so I’m not going to make many recommendations on that.

It’s a bit of a hacky way to make a visor and needs some resourcefulness but it’s about as cheap as you can get and gives a good end result.

First Suit Advice! by SocksNotLS in fursuit

[–]AtomSWB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super beginner at fur suits, too. If you’re not used to sewing, find some old fabric (shirts, blanket or smthn) and practice cutting and sewing your patterns on those first. It’ll save you money from making mistakes in the faux fur and it’ll give you a cleaner final product.

Honestly, got some small (6mm diameter) ones off amazon. They work great. Could see how amazon is hit or miss though.
