Last quarter's issue of the "Virtual Costumer" is now available for everyone. Their issue was centralized around furry costuming and named, "Here come the furries!". It features articles from Nicodemus, Chairo, Killpurakat and others focusing on materials, design and even the basics of getting started. It also has a piece I wrote on running a fursuit business and a wonderful 'how-to' for digitigrade legs by Killpurakat.

This is for the Silicon Web Costumer's Guild, a part of the ICG (International Costumers' Guild) The costumer's guild contains members with endless experience in all kinds of costumes. They hold costumecons as well as have many city/state chapters. Its definitely worth looking into for a newer fursuit maker or the experienced professional. I belong in order to further educate myself in hopes of getting better at what I do.
