Picking Fur- ideas
« on: June 05, 2016, 06:07:27 PM »
hey everyone! Threw together some color bits for my fursuit, thoughts? These are the furs I've been looking at. What do you think of the A and B schemes (as well as the alternate) compared to the original? Any other ideas? if you could add some ideas, that'd be great!

Hello there Andy :D

Interesting, so you want to go with a cat from that oh-so-popular-furry-song? x3


The thing about the screencap you have there, is that there is some red lighting, making the fur more red-ish/purple-ish than it probably is of said cats, so I think with the colour schemes you created you went in the right direction there. There is a higher contrast between the dark blue and light blue, so I feel colour scheme A would suit better than colour scheme B, as B has less of a contrast between the two blues.
So option A is the most suited one, I think.


The fur of option 3 with option 4 (or 2) would be the choices I would go for. Option 1 seems a bit more on the green-ish side. Too green if I may be honest.


Hope this helps :)

yeah, I'm also not really into the green, but I am getting some color swatches in. I'll probably end up getting the A colors, but i just started shopping for fur on another site so I'll be looking there, too.
As far as the song, Caravan Palace has been a really special band to me for a long time. I got to see them live a few weeks ago and am building the fursuit to share with them, their fanbase, and hopefully someday another live performance.

Let me see if this helps (In terms of ideas). (From combinations that seem to work... (Or are 'supposed' to according to theory))
You can do Dark blue and bright yellow.

You can do dark blue, Purplish blue , a cyanish blue, and Yellow. (If you want).

Blue, purple, red.

Blue, Purple/Indigo, Orange

Dark blue, Cyan, Teal, and Red.



I've taken out color combinations that would need green.

As for my personal opinion of the fur colors:
You can use two and three on the face. And throw four into the ears, which might be fun, but A does look good too.

You can see for yourself about the theory I'm following: (I apologize for the size)
