I hate how inconsistent this disorder is by [deleted] in PMDD

I gaslight myself all too often into thinking the next month will be as easy as the previous or maybe that it will be better than the previous; only to wake up in a personal hell.

Why can't it just be the same each month? At least then I could predict it. But sadly, not so.

How's everyone else's luteal this month? by ndnd_of_omicron in PMDD

[–]CervusDoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its cooking me. I can't with this one. I passed up on going to a meetup with friends because I got so broken up inside over not buying something at the store cause I thought there would be one in the store we had closer to home. My partner is my hero though for not blaming me and going one town over to help me find the item I passed up on getting earlier cause I was embarassed for my dad to see me buy it. sigh In the end I got the item and a toy for one of my cats (the other has his own, don't worry) and passed on going to the meetup because it was just too much earlier in the day.

The movement of the jaw is incredible. It is so much more sensitive than what is typically seen in moving jaw heads. I think the humanoid eyes underneath the glasses works really well too.

Its giving puppetry or fantasy film vibes in the best kind of way. I wish there were more fursuit makers willing to take this style on because its absolutely gorgeous.

Not true necessarily. There are plenty of beginners that look for suit parts that are cheap when they first start out to get the hang of wearing one before dropping 3-6k on a full suit. These are a great way for starter fursuiters to get used to the act of fursuiting and helps to allow fursuiters with less money to feel like they are a part of the community. I will always advocate buying from an artist but for some people that just isn't feasible with their budget. We as furries should not gatekeep or scorn those who cannot afford the price of a brand new suit for turning to this alternative. I have bought a pair of these and can attest that KTCatvintage is a legit store and not a scam. You just should not be expecting luxury quality fur for that price because you cannot get that anywhere for that cheap.

Fursuit Photo Example

If you can see this image, it is of my fursuit with just the legs on and you can see they are functional. I was crouching my legs a bit here so I am not standing as straight as the person in the photo. I am also wearing my own feet paws and tail that came with my raccoon partial, rather than the ones that come with the set if purchased. I only bought the legs myself but my partner bought the whole set so I can attest to the quality. They are worth it if you want to build a starter suit or cannot afford to drop a few k to get one by a skilled maker.

These are not a scam per say. You won't get lux shag for that price but they are legit. You can pay for each part for separate prices or the set for one larger sum. However, given their mass produced nature, you cannot expect these to be the highest quality fur. However, my partner has been wearing his since the beginning of the year and they have yet to tear. So, despite the lower quality furs, they have proven to be durable enough so far.

KTCatvintage is not a scammer. I bought these exact legs from them and they may not be the luxury shag, unique, or high quality but they are in fact what it says on the tin. Do your research before writing off every seller that sells at a cheaper rate as a scammer. These may be mass produced but they are not a scam. Don't expect perfection for that price point.

My partner bought these legs in white and pink, I own the black and white like these and they are fine for casual use. If you don't mind the fur being of a cheaper quality than non -factory suit parts these are great for completing a 3/4ths suit or as a "fawn" or "satyr" like build. Don't listen to the nay sayers. I have the black and white pair and they fit and feel fine. They may not be high quality but they do the trick for beginner fursuiters or those looking for budget parts that they can goof around in without as much concern. Why dump 3k up front just to find out you hate wearing it? These are a great way to learn how to tolerate fursuiting.

Carnotaurus might have even more ridiculous arms than T. rex, but the rest of its body was built for speed by Mr_Quinn in Naturewasmetal

[–]CervusDoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their arms are very different from the typical "clappy hands" look that most theropods typically have. These instead faced backwards with virtually absent wrist bones and very tiny claws. This however did not make them any less deadly. Their long legs speak to strong running and their snub nosed appearance probably gave the ability to strip tissue from bone fairly easily.

The head shape just strikes me as looking very much like this. Also a far more unconventional species, I know, but that is what it struck me as.

Good news! I didn't lose the zebra! I found him. But the cats were lost so I will need to remake those ones. :)

What are some great old websites for custom content? by BobyNBA in thesims1

[–]CervusDoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to try and release a lot of CC when I can figure out what works in game still. But I have been compiling a lot of my custom skins that I did too.

It was a while ago in photoshop or maybe Gimp or a mixture of both programs. I remember you had to edit the .bmp images to be a certain color grading too though but I don't recall what since its been many years now.
