Furlandia is proud to announce Soki Twopaw as our first-year fursuit guest of honor!

Soki started off making costumes one year when he wanted to have something to wear for Halloween. His families favorite holiday. Dad always dressed as the Grim Reaper, mother was always bride of Frankenstein. He tried the old Charlie Brown getup with the sheet over his head but then Soki stumbled upon ‘Goldenwolfens’ tutorial on how to make masks. He wore it that Halloween then threw it away. The following year he wanted enter a costume contest at a rave called ‘Freaknight’. He was interested in the were wolf phenomenon of the 1600′s through school history classes at the time and had an interest in Jim Henson’s work. So he went on the internet to find instructions to create a more complete ‘were-wolf’ costume. From there he proceeded to create one and take it to the contest but did not wear it due to how warm it was inside the event. After the event, the costume was thrown away and another year rolled by until the following Halloween he wanted yet another costume. Remembering what he created the years prior, he went about to make another one and won a few local contests along amassing a little pocket change in the process. Looking to learn more about costume creation, he went online and found the furry community and fursuits. He got his first commission by happenstance, from there the rest is history.
