Here's the last of the designs I did for Komickrazi's fursuit design contest. These two were particularly rough and I want to do some redesigning when I can. They're inspired heavily by some statues in Bejing and the northern costumes. I love fu-dogs, the culture and the story behind them. Like Yao these designs were inspired by two things the statue guardians they have all over Asia and the Chinese New Year celebrations. I was really into the lion dances and I'm still a huge fan of them and would really like to see the performances in person one day. For the new year they are symbols of good luck and frightening the bad away. The fursuits were also inspired by Beastcub's Fu Manchu build.
