Today I've got new pictures of my life-size Renamon plushie. Two weeks ago, I got the first pictures of the finished plushie, but it looked very strange, so I told them to change several details. I decided not to post these pictures, because they really looked very strange. But now, I'm nearly pleased with the finished plushie - except some details. But form your own view on it :3

Since I know that I’m a furry, I’m thinking about an own fursuit. My fursona is an anthropomorphic red fox and my biggest wish is to slip into this character. I simply want to live out my fursona, but for me, it’s not possible without an individual fursuit. The biggest problem I have is that I have no skills to make one by myself and so the only option I have is to commission somebody.

 

I searched the internet for suits I like and I found the homepage of Onefurall Studios. I really love their fursuits and I instantly sent a request for my own fursuit. I’m not rich or something else, but it’s no problem for me if the fursuit costs 2.500$ - it’s worth it.

 

I sent my request and all measurements last Thursday (measurements on Friday) and I haven’t got an answer yet – I really worry about it. I hope I will get an answer during the next few days. I know that Onefurall Studios gets a lot of requests but I would do nearly everything to commission them.

 

If they won’t accept my commission, I wouldn’t know which fursuit maker I should ask next. I don’t want to have a cartoonish fursuit, it should be more realistic – like my fursona. I wish I could have my own fursuit until the AC 2011. Let’s see what will happen next. Maybe I will have some luck.

Today, I’ve got new pictures of my Renamon plushie. You cannot see much yet but it’s going on. These pictures are showing the patterns (yin & yang and the cancer symbols) and Renamons nose and its eyes. If you can see, some patterns are distorted because they are not stuffed enough but the details will be done at the end. New pictures are coming during the next days.

 

Today I got the first work in progress pictures of my Renamon plushie. Ok, first of all these pictures are not showing the big Renamon plushie at all. They’ve made just a rough mini version (ca. 30cm or 12") of the plushie but anyway, I like it (except some details). The only two parts of the life-sized plushie are the covering of the feet paws. But no worry, I will keep you informed about this project. Just be patient because I will get more pictures by and by.

This story began last Thursday, when another Austrian furry told me about a barbecue in Upper Austria. Thank god, that the organizer had still a place for me – thank you Manhai. So, I decided to take that offer, but I was very unsecure because I didn’t know any of the other Austrian furries. I simply didn’t know what will happen when I meet other furries. On Saturday I had to drive 250 kilometers (155 miles) to reach the location where the party took place. When I arrived there, I didn’t know what to do at all.

 

There were about 20 furries and I was so shy but then they started to hug me, all worries disappeared.  I suddenly felt so comfortable among the other furries and it was such a good experience. I don’t know how to call it but I somehow felt at home among the other furries. It sounds a little bit strange but it’s true. Everybody used to call me Kitsune (my species is the Kita-Kitsune or in English north fox) and I really loved it. I could talk with everybody about everything and it was just great. We talked and celebrated far into the night and everything was fine. It was the first time, that I had the chance to talk about my real feelings and it was the first time that I really could live out my furry-being. Now I’m sure about being a furry through and through.

 

But now I’m back at home and I really feel so lonely away from the other furries. I really enjoyed it to take off my RL-being but now I’m forced to play me RL-role again. Maybe you had made the same experience, but for me it’s really hard. I never had real friends among non-furries and I ever was so lonely. But the worst thing is that we are only two “official” furries in Carinthia and every other furry is more than 100 kilometers (62 miles) away. It’s simply frustrating.

 

I’m really looking forward to my next furry-meeting. It will be a New Year's Eve party near Vienna with about 30 till 50 furries. I really wish that I could life in a really big city with more than one furry.

Since I can remember I liked and loved anthropomorphic animals and characters. I don't really know, but I think it started when I was a child with Disney's Robin Hood or similar films. Last summer I heard the word FURRY for the first time but it took a few weeks until I informed me what a furry really is. After I read some information I suddenly recognized that I'm a furry too. I always liked anthropomorphic characters more than other people of same age and I asked me what is wrong with me and now I know it - nothing is wrong with me, I'm a furry and I'm somehow proud to be a furry. Not ‘cause it's cool, for me it has a far deeper meaning. And somehow I'm happier now than before I knew that I'm a furry.

If you want to understand it, you likely have to be a furry like I'm one ;3

If a furry sees this entry, nice regards from Inarifox!

Few minutes ago, the company where I ordered my life-sized Renamon plushie wrote that they will send me the first progress report next week - I hope with pictures. But I think there won't be much to recognize because it takes 4 till 6 weeks to finish it. I think I will receive this plushie in December - it would be a nice Christmas present :3

And thank you for your comments and your interest. It really means a lot to me.

So I will keep you informed about this project. After I received it, I will post cool pictures about it. I have already nice and also crazy ideas ;3 Maybe you could tell me some ideas for cool pictures too.

I love it to share my interests with other people, so don't hesitate to add me as your friend!

It's such a stupid weather in Austria now. Normally the temperatures outside should be still comfortable, but last week the temperatures fell more than 30°C (86°F).  At the moment, the temperatures are below zero (less than 32°F) and every flower died in the garden. It's time to make the garden winterproof. Today I brought my heavy potted tropical plants into the house. Now they should be secure till next spring.

 

The first skiing-regions will open next week. I think they never opened them so early.

 

I ride my motorbike all over the year, but this year I had no time to get used to this cold weather. I only let my bike at home when it’s snowing. Normally I have no problem with icy temperatures, but when it’s colder than -10°C it’s really hard to drive something without a heater^^

Thank god that Klagenfurt is only a small town and the distance to my school is not longer than five kilometers (about three miles).

 

I really hope that the winter will be cold and snowy. The last three winters were too warm and it rained all the time – damned global warming.

 

I hope I will get my first work in progress pictures of my Renamon plushie next week :3

Well, I’m a really big Renamon fan. Ok, I’m already 23 years old, but I still like Digimon Tamers. Some people would say it’s strange or childish, but I stand to it. So, some weeks ago, I played with the idea to let produce a life-size Renamon plushie.  I had already seen some self-made Renamon plushies, but most of them were not detailed enough. So, I contacted several companies but most of them said no. Only a German company accepted my commission for a life-size Renamon plushie. Last week, I sent them some detailed pictures of Renamon and they said that they will try to copy it one-to-one. And two days ago, I ordered a Renamon plushie after I explained them how it should look like.

 

Some facts about the life-size Renamon plushie:

 

• Height: 190 cm with ears (6.23 feet)
• Weight: 20-30 kg (44.1-66.1 lb)
• Price inclusive shipping and tax: 1166.20 € (ca. 1737 $)
• Production time: 4 to 6 weeks plus 4 weeks for shipping it.

 

This plushie will be totally made of fabric. The eyes, the mouth, the nose, the cancer symbols at Renamons thighs, the yin and yang symbols at its wrists and the lines under its eyes will be embroidered. It should have the highest quality as possible. And these purple sleeves will be also like real cloth. This Renamon plushie will look very beautiful when it’s finished.

 

I will get WIP pictures (work in progress) from the production nearly every week. I will post these pictures on my journal when I get them.

 

I know, it’s a really crazy price for a plushie, but for me it’s more an artwork and it will be also one-of-a-kind. I’m really looking forward to it. 

First of all, I've decided to write my journal in English because I love this language and I want to improve my English skills. However, more people from other countries can read my journal - if they are interested in it :3

 

And sorry if my English is not so good ;3

 

Yesterday, I created my journal but it took two days to find a unique username. My favorite username was "kitsune", but this one is already in use. Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox and the name for foxes with magical abilities, which attend "Inari", a popular Japanese god. Sometimes, they're simply called Inari foxes and so, I chose the name Inarifox ^^

And today, I modified the style of my journal and I accidentally found this one, a kitsune with its fire tail in the foreground and the Mount Fuji in the background. So, everything fits together - the name and the design.
