PE: Anthropomorphic Costumes and FursuitsFursuits & Costumes
What are "fursuits" you ask? Fursuits are animal costumes made from various materials. They range from simple tails and ears to full costumes cooled by battery-powered fans. Fursuits can be worn for personal enjoyment, conventions, work or charity.
The standard fursuit is a full body costume that consists of a head, forepaws (hands), hindpaws (feet) and a body with an attached tail. In some cases, the tail is connected via a belt to the wearer and hangs out through a hole in the back of the body. Many suits include special padding or undersuits to give the character its desired shape (this is especially present in larger characters or those of a particular gender). Owners can spend less than one-hundred to many thousands of dollars on one fursuit, depending on complexity and materials used. More advanced fursuit features include jaws which move when the user speaks, and moving tails. Furry fans make their own using online tutorials o

Full on recruiting and other newsFirst of all:
Allusia will be going through a heavy duty restructure at some point this year, most likely the summertime. This will include reorganizing this group to be part of a larger organization, but Allusia will still be allowed to continue its development as is. This just means we'll be forming a sort of studio that Allusia will be the lead project of and allow us to expand into other ventures without specifically using Allusia as the name.
RECRUITING:
We are recruiting people to the Allusia Project and its future mother studio full on now, but there will be some guidelines and rules concerning this obviously.

We are mainly looking for artists as Allusia is full of people who can create ideas, write and do all sorts of things but we are heavily lacking in terms of the visual medium, so if you would like to join you will be considered, however art skills would be much appreciated.

You are free to come up with ideas that could go

SUP + ALLUSIA CALLS!ALLUSIA CALLS
As some of you may know, my buddy ~KitsuneShukko is attempting a lot of projects centered around his world of Allusia.
I'd suggest you read this group journal on the project first: http://fav.me/d4vpn9s
He has a journal with all the links to the Allusia pages he's created so far: http://fav.me/d64rwx2
One of the links to be found there is an indiegogo link to donate towards the Allusia comics (to pay artists for their work, and to try and get them printed, etc). That link is here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/allusia-project/x/3131463#share
Last but not least, Allusia is in need of fresh faces, new ideas, and more artists to bring the world to life.

Everyone is welcome to join by invite, so you'll have to comment on the group or note Shukko if you'd like to join up.

Characters/settings should stick to some predetermined world-guidelines, which you can ask him about as well

She turned to Gwen, "Alright, time for your end of the bargain"
They went into the other room and Maven handed Gwen a potion, magic crackled like lightening inside.
"Well, there it is, drink up, and fulfill your promise"
Gwen unplugged the stopper and sniffed it, it stank like normal medicine. She looked at the witch who was now looking at her with growing anticipation. Oh well, thought Gwen, no going back now, and she drank it.
They both waited in silence for something to happen.

Anthro Gallery - Proposed Additions

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 29, 2012, 4:33 PM

Hello Anthro Community!

I hope you are all doing well! So I have something to bring up to you all and something that I'd like to discuss and get your feedback on. While browsing through the Anthro gallery I've noticed that our gallery doesn't have a lot of meat to it once you are in a parent folder. For example I've noticed the "Anthro" gallery itself does not have many sub categories available in "digital art" and "traditional" art. It's very few with just 3D, Drawings, Oekaki, Other, Paintings and Vector.

With Anthro art there is a lot of different 'types' of subjects. ie: feline, canine, bovine, equine, fantasy. etc. Because of the few categories we currently have I feel this might be one of the reasons why there are so many miscats in our gallery simply because we don't have the option you want or feel applies.

So what I need from you guys is feedback. Let me know what you think of my proposed idea's for the gallery! please leave a comment in this journal with your thoughts and opinions and pass this around to as many as you can! I want to get as many voices from the Anthro Community as I can!

Question #1

Does this seem practical? Should we stick to just the popular subjects like "canine, feline, reptile etc" and allow the rest for "other"?
This is what I was thinking we could add to Digital Art / Traditional Art for the Anthro gallery but include relevant categories. Perhaps we should add in categories from both traditional and digital to anthro?

It would look something like this:

Anthro

Question #2

Is there another suggestion you would like to make for the Anthro Gallery as a whole? What you think might work better then the above solution? Would you like to see other categories added to Anthro?

I approve so highly for this. It's too long been just all lumped together, though I am glad that there was at least an "anthro" section even added to begin with. While I do not do a lot of anthro art anymore these days, I do still think that the sub-catagories would help.

Thank you for your thoughts <3

=ElysianImagery Dec 19, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

Absolutely! There are so many good people in the Anthro community that have been very close friends/inspiration/mentors to my art over the years. Least I can do is put in an opinion. Thank you for the reply!

^KovoWolf Dec 19, 2012 Professional General Artist

Again, I really appreciate it! Thank you so much

Have a splendifrous day!

If you're going to go into specific categories like that, please include cervine/bovine hoofed animals too.Otherwise, using "feline" and "canine" without touching on all the animal classifications will leave the rest lumped together....looking un-special.
I would highly suggest a general Mammals category if you are using "amphibian" and Reptile".
Mammals
Reptiles
Amphibian
Avian
Fantasy
Elemental
Mythology

Don't make a category called "furries"- It's unnecessary.

^KovoWolf Dec 14, 2012 Professional General Artist

Yea, I think I will go with most peoples suggestions

Making it less 'specific' and going with the more general feel. ie: Mammals, Fantasy, Mytholgy. Keeping it simple.

Thanks for your insight!

Well, guess I could recommend checking out what all different catergories FurAffinity has - as they ARE the anthro/furry-based Gallery site. They have tons of great catergories for anthro art.

An important thing that should probably be considered, are the catergories:

*Furries
*Anthroes (Because some artists seem to make a big deal out of there being a difference between "furry" and "anthro")
*Gijinka (or "anime 'cat'-girl" for example)
*Mascot (think you know what a masscot is)
*Fursuit
*Cosplay

Then probably the subcatergories of mythical, feline, canine, scalie, avion, reptilian, etc..

I... I dunno.

I'd like "Pokemorphs", but that's just me.

^KovoWolf Dec 11, 2012 Professional General Artist

Thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it <3

~WolfgangtheHusky Dec 10, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Personally I think this would be very useful, as sometimes I find it difficult to place a specific piece within/ under a certain category. :/
