I mentioned my quad in my intro thread, so I figured I'd post a thread about him.  My first suit, built by Bladespark.  Love it totally and plan to wear him to as many events as I can manage.  I've already built a couple of fans for him and started work on a harness and lead so a friend of mine can use me as a guide animal (as part of a costume, not for real).  I've xposted the info from the fursuit parade thread in furtopia since it covers most of his details.  When I did GrangeCon, all the costumers went out to the lobby of the hotel and I was immediately surrounded by kids and a few adults (it was the 4th of July weekend).  The kids were all really great, though I expect that was helped by the number of handlers I had and especially because one's a former security guard.  There was even one kiddo who followed me back down the hall so he could pet me because he didn't get a good chance in the crowd.

One experiment I'm working on now is approximating the telepathy by installing a full-face helmet two-way radio headset in the head and have my handler wear an earbud and small mic attached to the other radio.

Character info.:

Nice suit!

Note that we can't let you eat small children at Anthrocon. Housekeeping at the hotel gets uppity about that.

Yes, putting rare meat next to children in a list as well as in real life can cause some trouble for a tiger.  On the other hand, it gives parents some credibility when they tell their kids to behave or the tiger will get them.
