      <title>Manda Panda conbadge by Niiku</title>
      <description>A badge I did for Synchra of her character Manda Panda.

GAH this was fun to do, though the yellow blinded me and frustrated me to no end. UGH. I don't even want to look at another yellow pencil for a week. D:&lt;

Anyhow, badges like these are $25 plus $5 for shipping and laminating, if any of y'all artspots fuzzies are interested. Just shoot me a comment or email.

      <title>Longest Time by Niiku</title>
      <description>"Maybe this won't last very long, but you feel so right and I could be wrong. Maybe I've been hoping too hard, but I've come this far and it's more than I'd hoped for. Who knows how much further we'll go on. Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone. I'll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is. I haven't been there for the longest time."

A scene from the D&amp;D campaign my boyfriend is running for me, where my character Ren (left) is granted wings due to a wish spell spent by Shiv (right) and he kisses her for the firs time. X3 Yes yes, hokey I know, but it made me squeal with glee. :3

I may or may not color this, because Shiv's changed again since this scene. But, I still like the picture and the moment a lot, so I might just color it when I get time.

      <title>Shiv - spikey changeling by Niiku</title>
      <description>Lol creative title.

Anyhow, this is Shiv, the mate of Ren in that D&amp;D campaign I've babbled about often enough. He started life as a goblin (I have a sketch of his goblin self too but I don't know if I'll upload it) and after dying in a battle, Ren had him reincarnated and he came out as a changeling. So, instead of choosing a pre-made form as it were, he put together bits and pieces of various creatures he'd seen into a form he liked, and this is what came out.

Well, he doesn't look like this nowadays, he's since been turned into a Dragonkin because Ren wanted him to have a similar lifespan to her own. But, I still like this picture. :3

      <title>Syzrendix by Niiku</title>
      <description>EDIT: Uploaded the inked version.

Another of my D&amp;D characters, Syzrendix. Just a sketch for now, though I do plan on coloring it eventually.

Ren is a half-red dragon with a story far too complex to type a summary of in this little box. XD I'm actually writing it into book form at the moment, as the campaign is still running and I write a little more after each session. Suffice it to say that Ren is one of my more beloved characters because her story is turning out to be so dynamic.

Also, I used the cover of the D&amp;D Draconomicon for reference to get the angle and perspective right. :3

      <title>Maz portrait by Niiku</title>
      <description>Hoo boy I'm just full of creative titles.

Again, the desc was eaten by FA's incompetence so I'll just give the short, sweet version I suppose.

Maz is one of my D&amp;D characters. She was a half-orc who ended up working for a devil named Mentor. Eventually she sold her soul and was made into a devil herself, along with her companion and girlfriend Shin. Long story short, this is her devil form. XD I'll draw a pic of her full body someday, because she is badass and too much fun to draw. :3

      <title>Niiku fursuit v.2 by Niiku</title>
      <description>My second attempt at Niiku. Much better this time.

Description from FA:

"I made myself a new fursuit for FCN this year, and I think it turned out rather well, considering the time constraints I had upon me. Full head of hair took two days of work, 12 hour shifts on each day. The hooves are wonderflex over foam secured to shoes and covered with fur, very comfy and get the point across rather nicely. I have a tail, but just haven't gotten any good pics of it. It's real horsehair and is a couple of shades darker than the hair, but it's close anyway. Anyhow, I decided to leave the glasses off of this one, as in the first one, so nothing got in the way of vision, and I could not think of a durable, out-of-the-way design. Maybe one day in the future I'll have a Niiku fursuit with glasses (and all her piercings for that matter) but I'm ok with compromises.

      <title>Golden goat fursuit head by Niiku</title>
      <description>Another commission.

Description from FA:

"Another fursuit commission, this time for a non-fur. Just the head, no hands or tail or anything.

For the record, yes I know there is a white line around the muzzle transition from fur to faux suede. It's not there in person, I have no idea why it's there in the pictures. XDD Probably something to do with the glue I used to tack down that edge against the suede. Also in the top picture, you can see directly through the chiffon, probably because I was so close with the camera.

Anyhow I tried something new with this one, I took advantage of how I shaved the face fur to hide all the seams besides the obvious one on the muzzle (which is because I glued down the fur over the faux suede, not sewn) and the ones along the bridge of the nose.

I'm rather pleased with this one, even though everything is not 100% symmetrical.

      <media:description>Another commission.

Description from FA:

"Another fursuit commission, this time for a non-fur. Just the head, no hands or tail or anything.

For the record, yes I know there is a white line around the muzzle transition from fur to faux suede. It's not there in person, I have no idea why it's there in the pictures. XDD Probably something to do with the glue I used to tack down that edge against the suede. Also in the top picture, you can see directly through the chiffon, probably because I was so close with the camera.

Anyhow I tried something new with this one, I took advantage of how I shaved the face fur to hide all the seams besides the obvious one on the muzzle (which is because I glued down the fur over the faux suede, not sewn) and the ones along the bridge of the nose.

I'm rather pleased with this one, even though everything is not 100% symmetrical.

      <title>Rainhoof fursuit by Niiku</title>
      <description>A personal suit done for myself for the local Renaissance Festival last summer.

Description from FA:

"Here's my most recent fursuit, Rainhoof the Tauren! She's a personal suit I made for myself to wear at the local renaissance festival this year. She went over very well and I'm quite proud of her. :D This is the best picture I've got of her, but you can't see the feet and tail. The tail has a horsehair tuft like the mohawk, and it's white with brown cow-spots. The feet have long-pile white fur over black leather boots, which work very well as a comfortable hoof substitute.

EDIT***
Here's a couple links for ya, so you can see one of the hooves and the tail as well: http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h226/niikupony/Poneh/100_1788.jpg
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h226/niikupony/Poneh/100_1738.jpg

This is also the first suit I've incorporated a fan into, so that's a big step up as far as the comfort issue goes. :3

      <title>Mr. Panda fursuit by Niiku</title>
      <description>My first actual fursuit commission.

Description from FA:

"My first commissioned fursuit is done. :3 The suit is currently un-named, so I just call him Mr. Panda. He'll be debuting at AC this year, so keep an eye out for him! And be sure to give him a big hug when you do see him. :D He also has black paws up to the elbow and a fluffy little tail but this was the best shot of him so this is what you get. (plus if you're a member of any of the fursuiting LJ communities, you can see the other pics there.)

Mr. Panda belongs to Linnaeus

      <title>Daxxis fursuit by Niiku</title>
      <description>A random dragon I made with the leftover fur from Vlani, back when I was still practicing. I originally named it Daxxis, though I sold it recently and it now lives in the UK. I'm not sure if the new owner has renamed it.

Description from FA:

"I actually finished this suit a few months ago around Christmas time, but I've been SO damn busy and only recently had time to get Julius to take pictures. The tail can be seen here: (outdated DA link) Oh, and she's purple and grey. The camera made it look blue for whatever reason but that's really a lovely shade of royal purple.

This is Daxxis, the man-eating mountain dragon. She's kind of a bitch, but she's pretty fun to hang out with at parties.

Description from FA:

"this is Vlani, the chinchilla suit i made for one of my best friends, Lacy. :3 she made the arms and did the hair, i made the head and tail (not pictured). i know that the muzzle is a little too long, but she's cute anyway X3 also, i made the eyes more toony than on my Niiku head at Vlani's request. there's little whiskers there too, but you can barely see them here.

anyway, enjoy!

(also i'm now open for fursuit commissions, i'll post a journal about it soon once i sort out the exact pricing)

      <title>Hats! by Niiku</title>
      <description>A bunch of hats I made to sell on furbid.

Original desc from FA:

"Here's some hats I've made recently. From the top: Unicorn, Black Cat, Grey Cat, Silver-phase Fox.

The first three are for sale over on furbid: (outdated auction link)

And that last one was made for my best friend for christmas. :3

GO BUY THOSE HATS I'm tired of seeing them sitting in a sad pile in my fursuit workspace.

      <title>Ziirah Ref by Niiku</title>
      <description>Creative title? Yes.

Anyhow, a ref of my dragon self, Ziirah. I think it's rather self explanitory. I'd had a desc typed out at FA but since it's down uh... yep. I don't feel like typing a new one right now. XD
