Argos at Work

So everyone wanted to see Argos in the fur and I was willing to comply. Here's a photo of him in the technical services area of the library. Everyone seems to want to pet his fur, so I hope it stands up to that.

Close-up profile here.

Have a safe holiday everyone.

Looks very soft, fur wise. It must have been interesting to walk around work like that.

I'd have done it for an hour or two, but I can't really get any work done that way. Can't see well enough. I could have stood at the front desk and checked books in and out, but if I had to explain anything I'd have been in trouble. All the fur muffles my voice too much and we have a lot of people who seem to be hard of hearing as it is.

I'm pleased with the effect though. The fur is delightful, well worth the premium price. I'll not be using cheap stuff again after the pleasure of working with this. And yes, it's very soft and touchable.

I'm imagining it this way;

*He needs help with his obsession with abstract art books and
is told to talk to the Librarian by the volunteer at the front
desk. Okay, he can do that.*

"Wheres the Librarian?"

Volunteer points behind him and he turns...

"AAAAHHHH!!!!"

*faints*

XD

LOL. Believe me, I was tempted. The trouble is, while some library users would get a kick out of it, others would have a heart attack or go into apoplexy about "wasting taxpayer time and money."

I need to reinforce my long face. Knew that would probably happen, and this little test run proved it. A glue seam broke loose, fortunately one I can reach and repair. This time I'll stitch it with waxed thread and apply the glue over that.

*finds he actually has the teeth to chew milkbones... but doughnuts still taste better, unfortunately*

Very nice. Although it is somewhat strange seeing you as a canine. ;)

Every fursuiting furry has to love Halloween. It gives you the perfect excuse to express yourself everywhere you go without anyone thinking twice about it.

Of course, I never have a costume or anything to wear for Halloween which is no fun :(

You're not a bad artist, though. (I'm quite serious about that, what little you've let me see.) Costuming isn't necessarily based on great expenditures of cash, but rather on imagination and resourcefulness, and an artist's eye. My coworker who took that photo haunts garage sales and builds amazing artistic ideas from "just junk".

Hee, looking good there hon.

One day I will have to get a Felder suit done. I only want hands/feet/head, and a traditional hunting/riding outfit ;)

*snuggles*

Try a little fursuit creation on your own. It's amazingly addictive and satisfying. ;D
