I've wanted to make myself a suit for a while, and with some of the major summer con-stuff out of the way, I had the time. :]
He'll be running amok in Germany next weekend!
There's s'more photos of Diego and some other info on various Dog's Days things over yonder:

WOW That suit "suits" him! It looks extremely accurate!
Awesome pun.. and awesome suit. The pun was totally suitable.
Ok I'm done.
Ok I'm done.
tie as I might, it's hard to follow suit to such a good pun *grin*
Awwwwz!! *huggles Diego* It's so kool, Blotch! You are very talented =3
Wow, it's like a dream come true <3
Now you just have to make the rest of the cast and come up with skits!

That's really an awesome looking suit! Great job on the facial expression :)
Hehe, nice suit, plan on getting one of my own in the next year or so
Wow, I can't imagine how much time it must've taken to get those markings just so. Well done!
Amazing work Blotch. You did an amazingly awesome job on him. And suits are always so fun, because they are like big plushies.
wow Kudos and chocolate covered ones too! This looks so close to the actual drawings.
Hura! finaly a Fursuit I know and it looks awesome too! Even fursuits are not realy mine but anyway: cool stuff and see ya there in Suhl =3
That sitting position actually looks kinda uncomfy. Was it hard getting back up?
that has got to be one of the BEST LOOKING SUITS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE OR PREVIOUS LIVES!
Hhm, probably about two weeks. I had to stop in the middle for some work-stuff, so it's tough to gage. :]
Two weeks? That's pretty fast, especially considering how busy you usually are..?
It was one of the rare occasions I was able to make a little time for myself. :]
Smashing! Simply Smashing! Hope to see him at a con I'll be able to attend. :3
Awesome, which one of you gets to wear the suit? Or are both of you roughly the same height and build and both able to wear it?
WOW O_O
Awesome suit :O
I want to cuddle him, so cute and sexy x3
..but I won't be at EF14.. *cries*

Gosh, that would've cost a small bundle to put together. Awesome attention to detail. :D
Is it me or does it look like the hands are attached to the suit?
My guess would be that the \"gloves\" are long and go up under the shirt. But I could be wrong.
My forearms are like that for my suit and I start sweating instantly once I've hand them on under the fursuit in less than a few mins, but it just looks too seamless for me.
What I want to know is how you managed to fit the two of you in there!
Wow, he looks just like your guy's artwork! Very impressive. And I must say, very cute as well. He looks huggable. :)
You did a great job. Was this your first suit? Cause if so that's pretty amazing. You did a better job than most suits I've seen. I like how you did the seams between different colors of fur so they're not straight and you added little spots of brown fur here and there in amongst the white like on the hands. Really high quality, but I guess I shouldn't expect any less from an artist of your caliber.
I hope that's a durable fursuit because he's going to be pounced SO much!
Tell me you guys planing on comeing back down to australia any time soon?
For doing that all by yourself that came out extremely well. Even the goatee came out very well and shows perfectly even in a photo.
So how was the crowds reaction. Te costume is over all cute and inviting, so i'm sure that most people thought you were with an event of sorts.
Oh kyoooot! ^.^
I may not be on the cricket team, but I'm one South African who wouldn't mind filling a pool with whipped cream and Diego ^.^
Thought that might not go down so well on the suit...

Why you naughty sexy Dingo you...
CUTE!
Hey, you're wearing the Dog Days shirt too

oh my. that is so amazingly cute.
so you made the fursuit???
that is some very nice attention to detail.

i think the most amazing thing is how form fitting you got the suit to be. it really brings out more character in the suit.
By the way, I just got my paws on my copy of the finished book, and I loved it so much. That cat on page 58 with the heart over his head is too cute. I have to ask though, is he in love with his beer?
Must to have taken a long time to make that suit, huh? Look just like him. X3
What kind of materials did you use to make this costume?

There's something to be said about wearing a shirt with one's own likeness on it... but I dunno what the term for it would be. xD This is awesome!
Dude! That has got to be one of the coolest fursuits I've ever seen! How long did it take you to make and dare I ask the cost?
I knew it would happen eventually. It was only a matter of time. ^>
OMG, Diego is so cute...and hot! I love how he turned out, and I'm glad that surgeons were able to re-attach his paw!
I hope you wear that at MFF some time. It looks great and love to get a pic with either of you in it. Maybe this is another reason to get my own suit done.
Wow Blotch this is just another proof of you greatness! this is just awesome
cant say im into fur suits but teh likeness is uncanny and i wouldnt be able to stop myself, if i saw him walking around, to say hi and hug em! XD
Holy flying dingos, wow are you ever multy talented. i didn't know you sew. if you did fur suites too im sure you could give some of the bigger fur suite makers a run for their money.
Whoa sweet suit there I gotta say. XD Too bad you didn't have it done before RMFC, though neat to see you there anyhow, even if I never said anything at all. ^..^;; Looks pretty darned like Diego there, as close as a suit can get of course. XD
What a frightening resemblence XD
Really, It's cool ^^
Really, It's cool ^^
Wow that is pure win, I hope to see it at a con someday ^_^
OMG... you are TOO talented. Jealousy abounds! 2-D, now seamstressing?! No Wai!
... is Raj next? Heehee.
Is this your first suit? I'd love to see the steps in its making.
*curiously wonders if he's "all there" beneath those shorts... guessing not without the ken-doll lump*
Are Diego (and/or Raj??) plushies next? ;)
The other question... how easily can you drink a beer while wearing it?
Fabulous work. Can't wait to see it at MFF (it's coming to MFF, right?)

Nice suit... and as has been pointed out... Boulder. I could tell because of the Flat Irons out on the right side. Not many places with nice parks like that with that kind of view of the hogback. ^..^
incredable resemblance you have going on there :3 well done from another 'suiter ^.^
Awesome job Blotch!! You really captured your character to the T! *snuggles the handsome furry*
Aww, I want to cuggle him! Can't wait to get my shirt too, it's into customs right now so it could take a few more days, ugh.
Very nice! Really wish I could do one of ma own someday! ^w^
So... out of curiosity, which came first- Diego or the shirt?
Omg, that's better than I thought it would be. I thought you said the muzzle was crooked. n___n awesome job.
I did, but it's amazing what you can do with a clothes-hanger! ;]
*Lots n lots of flatter!*
I hope you'll be there at EF in '09 as well! :) And of course, have a crackin' time this year! XD

I can't breathe x3 That....is the best thing I've ever seen...It's actually causing me to whimper with excitment lol. Wish I could see the famous necklace from Bayshore though ;D
Cool fursuit.
I'll looking for him next weekend;)

I sure do hope that you attend AC next year, and in your fursuit, I want so much to give you a hug.
Oh my, it turned out better than you made it seem. I thought it would turn out retarded like my Inu dog! lol
Cool! That's a really great suit! I love all the detail in it. Hope to see you at a con someday.
At first I was going to cry because you actually made one of these.
But then I realised it was actually one of the best I've seen, and is not worthy throwing a fit over.
Good save.

You DO realize you are SO gonna get hit on if you wear that... the fandom being what it is... (or was that part of the plan?)
Blotch is full of surprises! ;O
I never seen you make a fursuit before.
Awwe, Diego looks so huggable in that pic.. :(
