Actually, making a moving lower jaw is fairly simple, I'll post how it's done once I finish cooking breakfast. I follow a fursuit maker who does stuff like that and makes pokemon suits. (I really admire the work and craftsmanship put into stuff like that)
EDIT: Seems they took the video down (but they kept the one where they drive around screaming "WE HAVE FOAM"

Is it Furry art or an anti-drug ad?

It's anti-furry art.

Apology for double post but has anyone seen this?
(Warning furry porn)
I just like how the guy desperately comes up with ways to explain why people should buy drawings of rats doing the nasty.

Oh shit Brian Sword of York! Those videos were amazing, holy shit! Brian Swords was one of the earliest furries as we know them today, and it's fucking hysterical watching these art scene people try to make sense of furry porn, having never seen it before. They think it's some kind of statement!

The best video is the one with the "erratica" pieces where they found themselves a presenter for the first Brian Swords picture that sounds straight out of Tim and Eric.

The person that did that must clearly be a time traveler.

Gotta love how that last piece is number 69. :lol:
It's... really disturbing that these people just go along with it, I guess out of ignorance. That's not art, that's furry porn!

In 1992 furrydom wasn't really a "thing", the characters were called "funny animals" in the vein of Bugs Bunny & Co. There were niche comics and art portfolios that focused around funny animals but they were fairly uncommon and you usually had to be paying attention to back page size 2 font comic book ads or have been keeping your finger on the pulse of the underground comic community.

Pre-Internet furry is something I admittedly do not know much about, as I didn't really show up until the late nineties with the advent of the Internet. Smelvin is right however; there was no context for that kind of art at the time. I mean, today in 2015 we know exactly what Sword was up to but 20+ years ago these art people saw rats in provocative poses and most likely probably did think it was some kind of avant garde "statement" art.

It'd be like if a few years ago we all collectively had the foresight that indie games were all just pieces of shit made by con artists and third-wave feminists that equated to nothing more than The Vagina Monologues in all capital letters.

I think a perfect example of how fucked the fandom is can be illustrated with this tweet chain from a few hours ago.

Dalmy is a fursuit builder who also recently started selling custom-made underwear specifically designed for fursuits, cashing in on a hot new trend. Today he tweeted out the following message encouraging people not to wear the fursuit underwear at cons until later at night.



Some people agreed and seemed to understand why.



But others completely missed the point.



And when someone else reminds them they have to share the hotel with others...



Some people just don't seem to get it.



I don't know... there's a lot to be considered when comparing "old furry" to "new furry". I feel the fandom used to be more fetish-centric than it is now. The culture and demographics shift over the last few years with younger people flooding in have certainly mucked things up. There's a lot more attention paid to things like the fursuit dance competitions at conventions than the individual panels, which have also shifted (you're no longer going to find a room of fat sweaty middle-aged men talking about how hot Minerva Mink is.)

The tweets above are a good example of the problem: nobody wants to say anything in reality, but they'll happily jump on Twitter and complain about something they don't like. Which actually gave me an idea... Sports stadiums usually have some sort of service set up where people can anonymously text security to report unruly fans or other issues. Conventions really ought to adopt something like this, because it would make reporting smelly babyfurs so much more easier and convenient.

Why waste money on fursuit undies when you can just write "This is my murrsuit" on a piece of cardboard for free?

Here's the artist's website about the art pieces, by the way.

You almost get the feeling that he was actually the first furry troll, that he knew exactly what he was doing and the station wasn't able to catch on to what was going on for 14 years.
