🟦 What is this project about?
Answer:
Lumirainyx is my first handmade mechanical alicorn fursuit project. It combines classic fursuit making, mechanical wings, LED elements and its own lore/web project.
🟦 Is this your first fursuit?
Answer:
Yes 🙂
This suit is my first big DIY experiment in furry fandom.
🟦 Are the wings functional?
Answer:
Yes. The wings open mechanically using a custom aluminum structure, bowdens and a harness system.
🟦 How much do the wings weigh?
Answer:
The mechanism itself weighs approximately 3 kg without the complete cover and "lips".
🟦 What are feathers made of?
Answer:
The feathers are hand cut from EVA foam (moss rubber) and then layered on the denim cover of the wings.
🟦 Is the QR code functional?
Answer:
Yes 🙂
If you are reading this during the con, you have successfully scanned the QR code directly from the suite.
🟦 Do you take commissions?
Answer:
No 🙂
I am engaged in production as a hobby and a personal project. I am not taking orders at the moment.
🟦 Is the suit purchased or handmade?
Answer:
The suit is a handmade DIY project produced gradually at home by a combination of hand sewing, 3D printing, EVA foam and own mechanics.
🟦 Does the suit have electronics?
Answer:
Yes 🙂
The suit includes LED elements, including a glowing horn and other planned effects.
🟦 Why an alicorn?
Answer:
Because I didn't want to start "easy mode" 😄
I conceived the first suit as an experiment with mechanics, fantasy elements and wow effect.
🟦 Where does the name Lumirainyx come from?
Answer:
The name was created by a combination of light/fantasy motifs and an original character concept.
🟦 Will there be a making-of?
Answer:
Yes 🙂
I will gradually add photos, progress, technical solutions and behind the scenes of production on the website.
🟦 Why does the suit have a QR code?
Answer:
The QR code serves as an interactive "cutie mark" that connects the physical suit to the online lore and making-of project.
🟦 What software/website do you use?
Answer:
The website is currently running on WordPress and is gradually expanding with new content.
🟦 Will there be another suit?
Answer:
Probably yes 😄
After completing the Lumirainyx project, I am planning an even more ambitious creature project.
