Hello, fellow fursuiters! I have a few questions.
I just ordered a resin canine base from Monoyasha. ;___; Ahhh so excited! About the base, though; I have a question on general expressions. You see, most fursuits I see with resin bases have the exact same face. It's a put turn-off to see such a beautiful fursuit with absolutely no expression on its face.
So, when I get my resin base, I want to put some foam on it to get a basic expression. I want the expression to be very gentle and happy, even playful, because I plan to wear the suit around children. This fursuit is represents the /exact/ expression I hope to achieve.

I have asked the lovely creator how on earth she managed to hit the nail on the head with such a warm, goofy smile, but she politely told me that she has worked for two years to get this far and would prefer to not give me her little secrets. I have been studying the face very, very hard, and I know that from general anatomy, a smile is curved, and when you smile, your cheeks get all puffy and your eyebrow rise a bit. Is this it, or is there some kind of secret I'm missing? x3
Also, here's a question that may be a bit personal to some. I am hoping to attend anthrocon 2013 with my girlfriend this year, but truth be told, I'm very, very scared to. The first problem I have to face is that as humiliating as it is, I somehow have poor personal hygiene. I do take a shower /every/ day in the morning after I wake up. I am overweight and scrub myself very well with body soaps, in every area of my body. I am, however, a big sweater. If I do any kind of activity, I will sweat, and I know this can be a huge problem at cons where it can be hot, especially in even a partial fursuit. I do use a strong men's deoderant and I pile it on myself layer after layer, but I still always end up smelling bad. I was thinking of trying a prescription men's deoderant, but feel rather helpless besides that. I am a teenager as well, and am going through sever horomonal changes which play a huge factor in it. I also wear clean clothes.
Kind of a really weird first post, but hey, if anyone's willing to help me, I'm more than willing to do it. :3
