A different kind of suit...

[DragonThing]

Hey guys! I've been looking for a fursuit for a little while now and I think what I've got in mind is quite different from what's out there...
Firstly because I'm a dragon, and most dragon fursuits are still furry, which doesn't suit me at all >.< awesome as they are. But with most fursuits I've found them to be really big and bulky, when what I'm looking for is something a little closer to the skin.
I was thinking something like a morphsuit, at least as a method of comparison, something along those lines for thickness/style. But ideally I'd like to have some sort of replica scale material, almost like a rubbery substitute, cause I feel like these big bulky fursuits don't properly represent the dragon within, and something a little closer to the skin, and perhaps a little more real feeling would work a lot better.
Sadly I've no idea if such a thing exists or if it can even be made So I turn to you my furry friends for advice and possible leads for my ideal suit

It is possible, you even have what are called zentai suits. They can come in all kinds of colour and textures. Though the head and such will be a problem. However, it is not all that impossible as one might think.
It will already be a bit bulkier than the person wearing it. But one can also create the illusion a character isn't bulky, this doesn't mean you need a morphsuit or something. Especially if you have a good fursuitbuilder that is able to make it look good

Curious, I'm sure what I seek will either be out there somewhere or someone will be willing to give it a try, I just have to look hard enough. The head isn't particularly a problem, because I don't think it's all that mandatory for what I'm after, I know a good place to get some horns, that'll almost be enough for my head, it's the body that I reckon I have room to play around with

Allright then ^^
In whatever case, I hope to see what you eventually come up with and the end product
Good luck ^^

Don't forget to post the end result! I wish to see its awesome!!

At this point I'll be hard pressed to even get a result The zentai suits are interesting but I'm not sure they come in dragon specific patterns I think what I've got in mind at this point isn't so much a suit, more so different parts of a dragon to help me relate more to my anthro self. So far I've got claws and my collar.
What I still need is:
Horns: Shall be ordering these online probably today
Tail: Gf has supplies to make one over the holidays
Wings: a little trickier, but given some time my gf also tells me this is possible, so I shall keep you posted.
If I can aquire these things, or even a red, scale pattern zentai suit then I shall ofc post the resulting look

Hey guys! Unfortunately I've got no leads on what I want and the more I refine what it is I'm after the more I'm of the opinion that nothing like it exists. Basically I'm looking for a tight, rubbery suit with a red scale pattern to it that you could run your fingers over and feel the scales, like a bumpy rubber sort of thing. My gf/mistress suggests looking into local fursuit builders, but this is not something such people do. As I said above I've no idea if such a thing can be achieved, but my aim is to, as much as possible feel like I am my dragon-self, such a suit that clings to the skin and has the feel of scales would be perfect, I've already got horns to wear though they can be improved, and I've already seen a great tutorial for the most lifelike tail I've ever seen. Claws are easy too
 
The only issue is the mystery of this suit, I shall continue searching for anything like it but I've not high hopes for success.
 
Edit: Found it! Not sure if the colors can be done to suit my dragon-self but have a look at the pattern/design of it, the first picture is the best example I think (despite it being of a girl in a suggestive pose and I being a guy, but you get the idea of what I seek)

Colours are no problem, as you might see in that picture itself already they already come in a few different colours. If they can come in those, I'm sure they can come with other colours too
Latex isn't very breathable material though, so you might want to look into that too how you can regulate air-flow/air and such.

good lck^^

I emailed the maker of the suits and they told me color is, as you say not a problem
 
Due to the tight fit, design and whole-bodied nature of the suit the end result is not likely to be breathable, I will find a way to manage the suit and likely ask the maker of these suits what he recommends for managing this problem and of course, ensuing the proper care for such a suit. At least for now the problem of finding one is over, now the wait begins to be able to afford it
 
Truthfully the design in look, feel and realism are all perfect for what I want

I'm very glad it all seems to be working out for you^^




I'm very even more so curious how this will continue, keep us posted, allright?

[DragonThing]

Of course ^^ it will take a while for me to work up the funds for it but once I've sorted it out you shall be shown

[nixon/monto]

While we wait maybe you can tell me what's your profile pic? Looks awesome. (I just want to know if you made that.)

[DragonThing]

Oh goodness no I didn't make it! I found it a while ago online, but I think it suits me But I'm a writer, not a visual artist

[nixon/monto]

(I feel like you've told me your a writer before somewhere but I can't put a finger on it.) ahh ok!

[DragonThing]

wouldn't surprise me
