I’m having this play in the background while making my possum suit, and now I’m making magnetic baby possums
That you you for that idea!
Pls dm me pictures of this glorious creation with the multitude of magnet babies when it’s done! 😭💙
Yesss, I’m starting my own opossum suit soon. Opossum gang!
that's so friggin cute omg I wanna see it 😭
I think I saw it on your channel I love it omg
Hi Skye you are one of the top furrys that made me caught attention on the fandom. The furry fandom has give me so much happiness no one else could and I cant wait to go to my first con,meet new people and so much more! Without you, i have had a chance to not be where i am right now. I got alot to thank you for!❤
Same
I believe mine was beta then skye
I started with some furry shorts then I found skye, I watched her alot and then I was ready, ready to make my first fursuit
ikr, she ans Starberry made me a furry lmao
Same
Domestic cat was my first suit and then, like a fool, tried to do a opossum second haha! As for the master class series, I would LOVE an episode of how you keep your hands and wrist healthy, whether its stretches, exercises, braces, any tips you might have!
Omg that would be a good idea! My hands always get tight when I’m suit making. That would be a good idea!
My first was also a cat, maine coon, but now its a protogen
I’m not a fursuit maker but maybe look up hand stretches for musicians in the mean time?
There’s lots of videos on hand stretches and exercises for a whole array of different reasons, but I mostly follow musician ones as a beginner pianist!
Hope that helps:)
@@bjorn4215 ooh that’s a good idea!

oh my god, my first fursuit was a protogen. not only, i made a fullsuit too XD it was the most ambitious thing ive ever done, and it was so rewarding to get so much attention at FurCon. I'm so happy I attempted it c:
Same, but it was too hard for me to make, so I switched into a saber tooth. Still working on it!
@@11._azumiare you done? I wanna see it 😭
@@chuuchuuutrain I switched to a skull dog, as I Already have anroblox skull dog fursuit
I prob won’t be done till like
A few months since I can’t find good and cheap foam :')
Edit: actually I have a few in mind.
Leopard seal
Manokit
Kemono dog
Kemono cat
Skull dog
Or just a starter dino mask
@@11._azumi MANOKITTT
I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE! Y’all are creative and nice and have awesome suits! I feel like I am left out on so much fun without being a furry! It is official: I am a furry :D
a couple moths late, but welcome to the community!!!
@@starchki ty! have a blessed day!
that was how I became I furry too lmao! welcomeeee
That's exactly how I just admitted that I'm a furry! I guess it's my second coming out.
This is a cannon event for anyone who is interested in fursuits
My first sona was a cat named Bea (I was like 13 and barely knew what furries were) and I evolved them into a rock and roll loving bee-cat named Beezle. And while they're really cool now, I'm glad I started off with a simple design and evolved them from there. I don't have a "Main" sona and I wouldn't say Beezle is my main, but they're probably one of the oldest I have.
My first fursuit I made was a cat. I went with a very simple design to make it easier for me to learn the basics. It was so much fun!
I would one day love to try a flying fox.
Do it! I’ve made a bat suit and they’re fun. I’ve been told I give great hugs in him lol
I'd love to do a pure white ferret. But... BLOODY GORE CATS. I NEED TO MAKE ONE.
I wanna make a bat-feline mix (I LOVE BATSSSS)
Hi it’s Eclipse the Husky-Angel-Dragon again! Finished my dog fursuit and it looks amazing! The way I got a comment in before the video posted last time was because I’m a patreon and I got early access. As always I love what you’re doing Skye! Keep it up!
Glad to see you again, Skye! Honestly, I wanted to make my first suit my latest character, which is also my original species. The head has a long, draconic nose, but a feline nose. They include huge fangs and a special marking on the forehead. The character herself is everything you are warning me against: Large wings, horns, extremely complicated markings, and gradient colors in places. I really wanted to make her first, but I should probably start smaller. You mentioned bunnies, canines, and big cats being easier. I could wither start with my DnD leonin character, or River and Elyssa from the video game Armello.
Tha nk you for such an informative vid!
You are so good at handling heatstroke!
This video is awesome I cannot wait for this series and will be referencing it once I begin to make fursuit premades in the future. Keep up the good work!
This video is very interesting to me.
I am writer when comes to the community and I never draw let alone sew anything except repairing a button on a shirt.
I knew some suits are more complicated but never really thought about it more than color/fur pattern complexity.
Simple fact that people are able to do those difficult ones is incredible and make me understand and appreciate skilled suitmaker much more.
Yes I am dragon/reptilian with NO fur so bummer I guess 😅.
Would be much easier to make a suit of my ponysona from brony.
Skye Skye Skye! Guess what! U inspired me to create a dino mask ! I never new abt the phantom before I started watching u! Tysm for inspiring me
Loved the video! Just a heads up, the Matrices suit you showed in the "otters" category was a binturong, not an otter.
I’m recently making a fursuit and ended up choosing a old design of a mouse character I made, (with a few different tweaks) but this is great to know that it won’t be as hard as I thought it would. Thanks Skye 🤩
My first suit is a bee+cat. Cat with bee antennas, wings, and a striped body/tail. So glad it's not going to be overly complicated to make as ive started the head base and i definitely did it wrong 😂😅
I made a goat as my first and it turned out so good! It was easier to make than I thought it would be, especially with how few hand hoof tutorials there are. I’m making a canine as my second and it’s actually a lot harder for me. It’s a lot more corners to work with, at least the way I wanted mine to look, and seeing the beans on is a challenge
I’m planning on making a lizard suit ^^
Oooh what kind of lizard?
@@PastelTheWolf gecko ^^
@@Breeandlee that’s so cute 😁
MY GUY ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
BUT SERIOUSLY THIS GUY IS THE BEST.
I’m making a Wicker as my first suit. To me, with having my sona for a while, think that their anatomy is fairly simple. Especially with my design. Though, I only plan to carve the head. I am not confident in my sewing. I should start in a few weeks, hopefully it goes well!
I’m hooked on the whole bunny look
Moth lion is me, love your work!!!
thanks for this amazing video.
i am currently working on my own fursuit but i sadly have many many MANY hurdles to cover, from lack of good information on how to make it without paying for every minute, to my allergy to any synthetic cloth.... anything "Poly'somethingsomething" is a no-go. it is only mild so i am not allowed to "wear" anything synthetic for prolonged times and definitely not "sweat" in it. (finding sport-clothing is a B*)
decided on something lizard-like and am trying to use soft bamboo cloth. currently struggling with seams and attaching it all to the head.
i would like to share more, but am not sure how or where.
anyway, lvoely video, great advice and will be looking forward to the next one.
i decided a while ago that i want my first fursuit to be a bear because i figured it would be easier than other animals, so this was very validating :D loved the video!
This really makes me think about my Sona, a dog with a skull face with horns third eye and hoofs and paws 🐾
Certainly unique
So excited for whats to come in this series!
Hi Skye. Thank you for this rating video. I hope you make a rating video including suits that can be made with a 3d printer.
Protogens are so cool, but I'm definitely not gonna attempt to do electronics for my first fursuit lol
I'm actually currently making my second bunny partial(both personal sonas), and heavily debating on what I want to make if I want to make another personal fursuit since I've got so many sonas.
So about makeing skullies. They are pretty easy of your buying a base but if you are makeing a foam skull it's a lot harder. But I'd recommend the sks props pattern for skulls :33
My first fursuit will be a dinomask and I wanted to do it as a bunny. I'm so excited to do it!
For my first fursuit I decided to make a moth, it actually turned out pretty amazing.
I went off the deep end for my first fullsuit. I’ve made plenty of heads but no bodysuit till now and I decided that the most asymmetrical busty lion would be perfect for my first
Love the video... So much info on these species. Now I know what I want to make if I was a maker. Thank you so much for the info. Live your channel and videos... Keep up the great job...
I love your videos! They’re always so helpful! Keep up the good work.
Making an owl as my first fursuit head since my cousin gave me a base for one, and yes it’s probably going to be challenging, but as I fur dinomasks, I’m beginning to learn just kinda the basics of fursuit making, so hopefully I can do it 😅 wish me luck, can’t wait to spend weeks doing it lol
Another banger video! We love to see it keep up the great work!!!
My first suit that I am still building is a sailfish. Just had to choose a species that has NO reference for suit shape (at least that I’ve found) so I had to figure it out myself, and the bill+frill+big ol’ tail!! It has gone super super well so far so it’s not too much he’ll for me yet
I am soon going to try to make a dragon fursuit out of boxes and whatever I can get my hands on as my first AND I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH!!
Love this series so far!
I'm planning on making a domestic cat; my fursona is one! :]
OMG THATS MY FRIEND!!! I met Jave in college and he’s honestly amazing. He graduates this year I believe. I’ve seen the suits he’s made in this video in real life, went on outings with him, he’s honestly the best and I can’t believe im seeing his work here. I miss the college days if hanging out with the furries at college. Art school.
14:39 Grabs my anthro rabbit ref
I’m currently working slowly on my second and third suits, a housecat and a canine of sorts (still deciding the species) hope that they come out good! I’ll soon be binging some of your tutorials lol
My first suit in progress has some solid foundation (pre made head base, patterns for tail + paws) and its pretty straightforward for a feline suit (he's mostly gray, might see if i can corporate some stars in his design) but the biggest challenge comes down to the fact that he is a robot cat... I just made him furry and more cat like for the suit. The visor will give me difficulty and its increased due to the fact that its a mask style visor and not more of a full face one like a protogen. Got a game plan and hope it works because I didn't want to lose the follow me eyes. His lights are simple too, only going in his inner ears + eyes
Skye I love you're Fursuits they look good
I’m so excited for this series!
Zori! Hiiii!
@@zero_percentmilk hiii
My first suit was a PAIN since I was doing my own species that was basically a concoction of terrible features (long muzzle, bat nose, massive curved ears which point straight back, long striped tail, a snarling face, massive teeth and even gauges) and it was a pain to make. She turned out pretty good minus theB quality fur I used. Second suit was a fleece bat with anatomically correct wings (each of my fingers puppeteer a digit of the wing). Can say, please just pick a simple thing for your first suit lol
OMG I love this videoooo!!!! this series is a perfect preperation for when im ready to start my own kitty suit ^-^
Just a heads up: I loved looking at your beautiful headpiece but for someone whose first language isn't English, it was hard to understand some bits because of the head, especially when some of these words are new to me.
Anyways, I loved this lesson! Can’t wait for the next one!!!!!!
While making my second fursuit, I watch your videos to help me not get bored 😅, I use your tutorial
love your suits
Love your vids
rainworld fan here, im just going to give out a suggestion for suits since their designs normally are fairly simple.
Slugcats!
I've always wanted to make a fur suit for the first time but I can't afford supplies so let's hope I can soon it looks so fun
When I get old enough to make a fursuit, imma put a squeaker in it cuz the NOISE is just so LUSCIOUS! Ahhh, the nice SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK-ing! Of the noise....YES
Ah, misread the title as fursona. Either way my current domain of art is in the VR realms but I’ll keep this in mind if and when I decide to acquire a suit of fur.
i literally started designing my first suit today !!
this is actually a pretty helpful video for a lot of people i think
As someone who made a protogen fullsuit as my first suit, your analysis is totally fair lol
I think that a Dino mask is definitely a great idea because I find that they are one of the easiest fur suits to make and probably not a hot.
someone made an amazing opposom first suit
It's a shame that pigs didnt make it to the list. They are a wonderful species to work with and can come in a lot of fun and wonderful colors and patterns.
I actually made a moth for my first fursuit thinking it would be easy. It was. I like how it turned out but I REALLY wish it was smaller. If it was smaller I think it would be a great first fursuit!
If you need a hard beak you can use EVA foam. It's harder and more durable and if you have a heat gun and get a beak pattern you can cut out and make beaks forever. EVA foam is also paintable and light so whatever color you need you can make it then slap that baby with a final clear coating to seal it.
This is an extra option if you can't do hard resin beaks or don't want to do soft fabric beaks.
I am so relieved, as I’m just about to start making my first, and my fursona is a rabbit.
So a modern work around the problem of "Skull-faced" things and "carving" I seen been use of 3D printed parts, while getting 3D printer yourself is a tad expensive (we are looking at around 100-300 ish dollars for plastic FDM ones), but there are services for those as well as things like certain teaching instutions and libraries, allowing for easier making of these parts, granted from one I made I realized joining parts together can be a bit hard in case of flawed prints.
Hay sky I am just saying you are one of the first furies that made me check out the fandom and i have an idea for a suit but I just want to wait till If I am sure if I want to join the fandom btw I’m 12 anyways enjoy your day
I am so glad someone finally added goats to something 😭
First suit I wanna make is my main fursona which is an australian+german shepherd, which ofc has spots. Damn im gonna struggle but I am so hyped (he also has one floppy ear which will be effort). Id only make a mini partial maybe a full partial though.
Tbh I LOVED those pictures of insect fursuits 😭 btw my first was an Alien raccoon-
Ah I wish I had this when I started, I am mediately started with a cat Finnic fox if you didn’t know, both the species have really tiny mouths and that was kind of really hard to achieve
A lot more opossums then I thought. Anyway thx for the help with making my fursuit :D
I'm currently working on an Ampwave (as my third suit) and BOI its difficult. I got the head shape and ears down fine, but the TEETH oh god. and theres zero tutorials and only like three other suits. so clearly i made the perfect choice 😀
I was wondering what my suit will look like and it helped me a lot!
What species ya doin
@@5dollarbiggiebag it's from Brazil, it's the bird Arara Blue
@@MeloitheFur OOOOOH
my first partial handmade suit was a feline and second was a bird. Surprisingly wasn't too bad for me, did have some trouble with the wings but otherwise not too hard overall.
I was literally just thinking of this
Insect suits are interesting to me. no one really makes them, so if you want one you have to make it yourself. but because no one makes them, no one's making tutorials for them either. it's an unfortunate loop. currently saving up to make a housefly fursuit, and when i do i plan on making tutorials for every aspect of the process i can.
also a lack of tutorials could be due to the fact there's such a wide range of insect shapes. a praying mantis is going to have a very different build than an isopod, or ladybug, or arachnids. unlike say canines, where although there are differences between a fox and a wolf, they're much easier to generalize.
thank you :)
My first fursona that i ACTUALLY wanted was a kemono harp seal pup cuz it was easy and adorable
Me over here hoping to make a moth husky when I am older
I love your videos so much and they inspire me to be crafty. (Even if my family doesn’t like furries)
I've been wanting to make a bat fursuit and I'm happy to know that the only part that you think would be hard is the leaf nose since not all bats have a leaf nose. I was wanting to do a flying fox bat which have snouts so I think that would be making it easier
Last year i made a Catfish premade (Not a hybrid just fish :D) It is still one of my favorite suits i've got to make
Tip: try a salamander. It’s unique and easy. Also try using rubber instead of fluff
My First head was a messed Up fox followed by a never finished Dutch Angel Dragon.
I cannibalized my Dutchie head base and with the Power of my 3D printer I Made a Skull suit.
I'm done with everything except attaching the Skull and furring the head.
Hi Skye. I love watching your videos and think they are very helpful on giving tips for people who want to make fursuits. I myself partially want to try out making one. A friend of mine gifted me his old fursuit head, it still looks pretty good and not bad at all however the eyes are a mess. He told me I can do with it what I want and that what I'm planning to do. I want to change the eyes but how do I do that with an already finished suit? They have an eyeliner that makes me a bit dysphoric and I want to change the eyes ti a more "masculine" look.
3:18 or just stitch in REAL FEATHERS…y’a know… might still take a long while but still, I figured it’s easier to stitch or glue turkey feathers onto your -rukon- avali suit than to make them out of cloth.
I love your videos they are so helpful I want to become a fursuit maker too so your videos are really good 👍😊👍 and I would want a ferret fursuit
Ur my def 1st fav furry!
We are lit both wearing the same red shirt thingy and a dark grey/bleck shirt
I love ur vidsssss!
I'm new to the furry Fandom, I'm only 13. My fursonas are a hare and a koala, so this made me so happy as I'm so excited to make my fursuit when I am older, have more experience in the Fandom and have more money! Love your videos skye :)
I'm gonna be making my domestic dog fursona, because she's the simplest design. I'm happy canines have so many tutorials, because it's going to be my first try at a suit.
My first made head base is a grizzly bear ❣️I love her🐻
this was fun! I'm making a cat because i thought it would be easy first time and learning to sew ^-^ But i am not doing a full head so i guess i dropped the difficulty there
Hi Skye sorry for the strange question, but what is the easiest/most difficult aesthetic to base a fursuits around?
Love ur content,and also what about fursuits with a lot of hair? Like long hair or even an afro.
Just out of curiosity, what's your beef with minky? I recently used it to make a hand puppet and found it wonderful to work with, does it work differently on larger/stiffer materials?
I absolutely love bears, so obviously I gotta make a bear fursuit
do not ignore the option of using patterned fur for big cats and sparkle dogs. if you use patterned fur, it is a lot easier.
are chibi costumes also possible like characters from Sanrio such as Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Wish Me Mell, Aggretsuko, Jewelpets, and many many more?
