Description

My personal fursuit project, made in collaboration with my partner Kiza. A digitigrade black jaguar fursuit with the theme “RGB panther”, inspired by my profile icon.

Furtrack & social media
You can find more pictures of my suit on Furtrack. If you’ve taken pictures at an event, feel free to upload and use the character tag kianga_(jaguar), or tag me on social media. I’d love to see them too!

Head

3D-printed black PLA base using the Panther Feline Fursuit Headbase by Maimface, sublimated fursuit eye meshes by WMW66 Costumes, and ears made using the Big Cat Fursuit Ears pattern by TinnatuPaws.

It also has soft teeth made of stuffed minky fabric, magnetic eyelids, and two swappable magnetic tongues (short & long).

Parade tail

Photo of me wearing my fursuit tail: it has long shaggy rainbow-colored fur running along the upper half of the tail, and black fur on the bottom and on the tip.
Parade tail

A “super-motion tail” based on tutorials by Neffertity and Adamoshi, with a few modifications: The hole for the belt has been reinforced with a leather tube to prevent tearing of the foam, and it has an RGB LED strip running under the fur along its back for a little extra rainbow effect in the dark.

This is a very big tail that makes it difficult to sit, so it’s mostly suited for fursuit parades or dances.

Hand paws

Photo of two fursuit hand paws lying on soft white fabric: they have long black fur on the top, shorter charcoal fur on the palm, and short black fur and gray claws on the fingers. The palm and thumb paw pads are black, the other finger paw pads are red, yellow, green, and blue.
Hand paws

The hand paws are based on a slim-style puffy 5 finger pattern from Skunky Designs.

We used a slightly different option for the lining, with one half-lining sewed to the top half of the paws, then another half-lining put on the bottom half of the paws, and then everything sewed together.

Sandals

Paw sandals

We’ve also made fursuit sandals to protect the indoor foot paws when going outside. They’re made of a softshell-like material wrapped around an EVA foam base, with anti-slip rubber soles glued to the bottom. They’re attached to the paw with 2 cm webbing straps with rainbow-colored ribbons sewn to the top side.

Paw sandals, details

Bodysuit

A digitigrade bodysuit with a front-size zipper. We used a thin muslin fabric as lining for the digitigrade padding, and stuffed it with polyfill.

Casual tail

Photo of a fursuit tail on our balcony table. It has rainbow-colored fur on the top side and black fur on the bottom.
Casual tail

A much smaller tail based on the Cat Tail pattern by Skunky Designs. It’s stuffed with polyfill—very lightweight, flexible, and comfortable to wear.

3D render of a nighttime scene with eight anthropomorphic characters on a wooden raft, illuminated in vibrant colors under a starry sky. All of them are wearing colorful glow rings around their wrists, ankles, and horns. Huxley, a male wolf-husky wearing headphones, standing on a raised platform behind a DJ table. Storm, a male charr with white fur and black tiger stripes standing next to Huxley, both hands raised channeling colorful magic. Ferox, a large male tiger-striped charr with brown fur wearing only a steel jockstrap, breakdancing in the middle of the raft. Drizzlebone, a male charr with gray fur, sitting to the left and enjoying a drink. Laelia, a female collie with a green and yellow fur pattern wearing a pink bikini sitting on the right, watching Ferox with her feet dangling above the water. Kianga, a male charr with brown fur and a red eye patch wearing red swimming trunks standing behind Ferox, clapping for him. Zurena, a female charr with brown fur and a steel eye patch, right fist raised, also cheering for Ferox. Garro, a large male charr with yellow fur standing on the right with his hands on his hips, watching Ferox. And finally there’s Seraphis, a large black dragon with glowing golden runes, visible in the background against the sky, flying towards group and probably about to “crash” the party.
