Fursuit FAQs :D
14 years ago
Thought I'd write up some FAQs as people seem to be asking the same questions in notes :)
Can I get a quote?
Sorry commissions and quotes are currently closed until I open up as prices are liable to change. I will happily quote you when I say I'm open again though :)
How much does a fursuit cost?
You'll have to get a quote as I stated above when I'm open for commissions but my fursuits range roughly from
Halfsuit: $1500USD+
Fullsuit: $2500USD+
How do payment plans work?
Theres a 30% non-refundable down payment that begins the commission, that can be done in payments if you need to but I wont be able to start gathering materials or start on your project until it's come in. After that you can pay as often and in as many amounts as you wish, I don't mind but just know I wont be sending out the costume until all payments have been completed. Some people like to make the last payment after they've seen the final photos which is more than fine, even if I've finished your costume and you're still paying it off I don't mind holding it in storage until the payments have been completed. The maximum time for paying off a suit is 12 months from when the contract was signed, if the suit hasnt been payed off by then it defaults to becoming my propperty and I can sell it on as I wish. I feel my payment plan is very leniant and if you're worried that you wont be able to pay off a costume in 12 months I would reccomend you saved up some more before commissioning.
Reference sheets?
I require very accurate reference images to make your costume. I don't need a 3 way ref although it's prefered, but I can work from a few images of your character from different angles. If I cant see a marking in the picture clearly do not come upset to me later as I am not liable for anything I can't see. Written references and photos of your pets are not okay. Please keep in mind I reserve the right to refuse to work from images if they differ from pictures to picture or if the art is shoddy/cant understand what's going on. I wont work from pictures of other people character you want to alter a few markings on the reference has to be owned by you.
Can I send you fur?
You'll have to send me a tester first or link me to a website you got it from. I only work with top quality materials. I'll take off $19 per yard of fur you send over for the project off the final price however wont take off shipping costs it takes to send it here sorry.
Can I send you measurements for my bodysuit? How do I measure the rest of it?
No, Duct Tape dummies for fullsuits are mandatory, no exceptions. For heads I need measurements, for hands I need a photograph of your hand next to a ruler, for feet I need shoe size.
Will you make a copyrighted character for me?
No.

Do you trade?
Sometimes, it depends on what you can offer and also if I have the time. Please keep in mind fursuit making for me is my fulltime job, so any time on trades is costing me money so the offer back has to be something I'm very interested in. Also I might decline because I dont have spare money at the time to make a costume (yes I live out of home so bills, rent, food for myself and animals takes priority sorry)
Do you make tails, hands or feet that arent included in a half or fullsuit package?
Usually about once a year I'll open up for a few batches of tails but wont take them usually no.
How do i make a fursuit?
Look up turtorials, theres loads of them around and dont forget to actually look at photos of the species you are making!!!
A website that helped me make my first was TaniDaReal's fursuit tutorial websites found here http://fursuit.tanidareal.com/
