Welcome! Introduce Yourselves!

[quote="Swifteye"]Howdy, I'm Swifteye. I'm new here.

I used to be called Woody Swifteye, but then some people began to laugh at my fursona name as wolf, and I changed to just Swifteye. It stuck since. I come from the furry fandom and someday I want to buy a real fursona suit! However they are really expensive. I just watched a few Lion Guard Episodes and I hope to learn more about these cute guys. Especially Kion!

I have no idea what to add, which means I shall end it here.[/quote]

Hey Swifteye! Welcome to MLK
As Maggy already mentioned, I'm a furry and I'm building my own fursuit as well, it sure is a lot of work and even after remaking countless times a certain part (of the suit) a million times I still cut myself, so I feel you. However, if you keep trying I know you will suceed! Mostly because fursuits aren't cheap. You can pretty much make a fullsuit by yourself and ends up being WAY cheaper and sometimes you can make your character come to life better than anyone else, but ofc, be careful, I don't want to know that a fellow furry was hurt during the making of the suit!

But yeh, here, in Portugal, I don't think people know much about the "bad side" of the furry fandom, which is good. However, don't worry about it now, we got your back!
My fursona is a maned wolf, named Zack Lucis! Do you gave a ref of yours? I like to draw

Have fun here tho!

I am working part time as a Cashier at a convience store, and saving a large part of money to realize my dream. I was self taught, but soon realized it was quite hard. Ordering online would be easier. If I get a new job, preferably as a teacher, I can earn enough one day to get one. My fursona is Swifty. By "ref", is it the color of paws, size and shape?

Well, as I haven't finished school yet I don't have money to spare to buy one, but if you can, then fo gor it
Which maker are you looking up too tho? Seriously curious rn!

By ref, I mean something like this:

(Art is not mine tho, this was an adoptable I bought from a friend)

[quote="Swifteye"][quote="Marizzle"]Welcome to MLK! My name's Marizzle, but I also go by Maggy. I'm a Furry too! I'm actually building a Fursuit at the moment, and, another member here, xKendo, is also doing the same. You're most definitely not alone. [/quote]

Woah, that's amazing. The last time I tried making one, my hand got cut because I was careless with the knife. I'm a grey wolf, how about you people? I'm a little hesitant revealing myself as furry because society doesn't seem to like us.[/quote]
Unfortunately the Furry fandom isn't that known in Portugal and most people don't even know what a Furry is. The positive side of this is that the "bad fame" of Furries doesn't affect us that much, so we don't really fear "revealing it".

Yeah, getting cut, burnt, hurt is part of Fursuit making, but, in my opinion, it's all worth it in the end. I personally never cut myself by accident, but I did get burn many times, with the hot glue. But, if you plan on asking a maker to do your own fursuit, that's pretty cool too! Do you have any favourite makers/options?

I'm an orange, black and white Tundra wolf. Here's my Fursona's ref (the info isn't updated, but the design is still the same):

Hi...my name is Reanna. 13, and for some reason I became overly obsessed with anything that has to do the Lion King. But that's a good thing, I thought I was the only one into it. I'm so happy there's many more like me. Even though it's the internet...still get a little shy. Can't wait to meet you guys:3

Hello. I am Boris. I am Russian. I do not know much English... But I really liked your community.
Maybe I'll talk bad in your language, but I have all the respect and want to get to know you better. I really like the cartoon "The Lion King" and everything associated with him. Therefore, I would be interested to see your forum. Thank you for attention х)
