Qarrezel/Clockwork Creatures recently finished my commission, and it should be arriving in the mail in a few days/a week. When it does I'll hopefully get a chance to take some pictures of me actually wearing the suit {If the weather actually clears up a bit =-.-=} But until then you'll have to make do with these smezzie shots:
FeiFace I Looooooooooove the ears with the wire curl doohickies <3
FeiBodess It is actually female {I know, hard to tell...} But it will hopefully look better on me rather than a hideous duct tape dummy. The markings turned out well though =^.^=

Might want to re-edit and double check your links. They wouldn't work for me.

WOW That suit is gonna make heads turn at cons. That's for sure! Maybe, but I don't think I'll be wearing it to any strictly furry events, I'd much rather go out amongst the general population in it =>.>=
Thanks to everyone else for the comments too, There will be more pics to come sometime in the near future!

Whether out in the real worl in the general public, or at a Furry Con, that is an incredible piece of work and will be noticed by all who see it. I would love to see how the stitching on the main body was done and the special striping on the face. My own Fursuit has some rather this stripings on the hind quarters and forelegs, and for the upcoming MFF I am just using fabric dye, but i do want to improve that with actual fur stripings by next year.
Unfortunately, when i am sewing something less then 1/4" with fur, it does not look all that great for me. Some of the stripings on this suit sem to be like 1/8" of so and thats just amazing.

The markings are all airbrushed on, with non-waterproof dyes =>.>;= Luckily though, Qarrezel does free dye touchups on suits that need them.
Oh yay, I think it is waiting at the post office for my dad to collect it after work. Much quicker than expected! =^.^=

Aha, the airbrushing looks great, but unfortunately I can't paint based fursuits for some of the stuff I'm interested in doing. I really like the idea of some of the outdoor furry camping events like Wild Nights, but would need something that has great weather protection. I am just too afraid dyes, inks, etc will run if it gets wet. Also, it makes the suit much easier (and way less expensive) to be cleaned.
Still, yours looks awesome.

I don't think airbrushed paints are soluble in water after they have dried... (And that's for those that contain water to begin with) I believe they undergo a chemical reaction as they dry that makes them nolonger water soluble.

The markings are all airbrushed on, with non-waterproof dyes Then I guess the fursuit cleaning tutorial I wrote probably wouldn't work for you since your suit has a large amount of airbrushing on it. Did CCS give any added advice for cleaning your suit with that much airbrushing?

I got no emails/letter with the fursuit telling me how to wash it, but I'm sure if I need to I can quickly send her an email asking about it. Right now I'm looking around to see if I can find a disinfectant spray.I don't think airbrushed paints are soluble in water after they have dried... (And that's for those that contain water to begin with) I believe they undergo a chemical reaction as they dry that makes them nolonger water soluble.
Qarrezel stated somewhere either in her journal or on her site that the dyes she uses do fade/run when they get wet, and with white fur I ~really~ don't want to risk that happening.

Here's my fursuit cleaning tutorial if you ever want to use it for caring for your suit. However, it's just a "guide" only and is not "law" or 100% accurate for taking care of a suit. I would always recommend that if people have specific cleaning questions for their suits, that they contact the fursuit maker first as they are the best people to know how the suit was constructed and what materials were used.  http://forums.furtopia.org/index.php/topic,36325.new.html#new

I Finally have one picture of me wearing it, more have been taken and I'm airly sure there's a video of me dancing in it. But I haven't gotten any of them from friends D:

This was at a charity event that myself and friends were part of, we did a dance to raise money and despite it being about 35C and summer I didn't colapse. =^.^=

I really, really like the look of your suit. Clockwork Creature Studios did an amazing job! If you'll pardon me for asking, I have a few questions. I'm not trying to get trade secrets or anything, but I was wondering on some of the construction/parts just in case I ever wanted another suit in the future. 1. The heads she makes look really form fitting. Is it a balaclava/foam style or something else? 2. Did she make the taxidermy style eyes with see-through tear ducts? If so, then how good is the vision? 3. Did you have to give her a Duct tape dummy in order for her to make the bodysuit and get a proper fit? 4. What was the total cost of your suit? (Just so I knows how much I'd probably have to save for the future if I wanted something from her.)

(Just so I knows how much I'd probably have to save for the future if I wanted something from her.)
1. The head is a resin cast, it's light, small and very comfortable there's a strap inside it to hold it on well. There's no extra bulk from foam or whatever else so it's very nice to wear.
2. Yes, vision is through the tearducts and it is excellent, compared to my brother's mixed candy suit it is amazing how much I can see.
3. Yes, I had to send a duct tape dummy, which I recomend not getting someone who's left handed to help with, I pretty much had to cut myself out after I'd gotten one arm free.
4. Total price was US$2200, but quite a bit more in AU$ because of terrible exchange rates at the time. But you can ask her for a quote when she opens them back up with no intention to buy if you want.
