Fursuit head commissions CLOSED!
15 years ago
Hello all!
Muddle Designs is a new fursuit company. We are opening up for three (3) head slots. Heads are for building our portfolio and a good reputation, and are at material cost ONLY. There is no extra money for labor or profit. Prices are rounded up or down to create clear numbers for the customer. Heads start at $65.
Two (2) color, mesh, static jaw heads. Free shipping within the continental United States. Any eye style except for taxidermy/glass eyes. I am sorry, but no moving jaws are available at this time.
Cost: $65:
$20 Medium/long pile fur.
$5 Mesh/glue/thread.
$5 Buckram/other eye materials.
$10 Foam for ears, cheeks, and other shaping.
$10 Fan, battery, battery holder, and wire.
$5 Fleece for ears and/or nose.
$10 Fasteners of your choice, lips, and other items such as whiskers.
Required: $15 down payment. Full payment due on approval of shape of head, eyes, and ears. At least one (1) CLEAR reference sheet, including a front and side view of character's head.
All fur is double-stitched, high-temperature hot-glue reinforced seams, then glued into place on the head. All fleece is anti-pill, and pre-washed. Fur is high-quality medium to long pile, pre-washed, and comes brushed and shaved. Unless you are noted, all fur is same type, and very soft. Your approval of fur color(s) is required before purchase of fur. Fan is placed in nose, with air blowing OUT of the mask; the wire leads down the neck to you, with wire long enough to reach to a pocket with some slack. A 9volt battery is included with the head. There is a small hole in the corner of the mouth hidden by the lips of the mask for straw access. Head photos and video [b[require[/b] approval by you before shipping.
Five work in progress updates guaranteed (separate from fur-color approval), others provided on request.
1. Mesh shape, no foam (possible no ears, depending on species).
2. Mesh with eyes and foam.
3. Mesh with eyes, foam, first layer of fur/fleece.
4. Mesh with eyes, foam, first layer of fur/fleece, last layer of fur/nose/neck
5. Mesh with eyes, foam, first layer of fur/fleece, last layer of fur/nose/neck, and video of use. (Will be worn by me if head size is 22 inches or more. If less, it will be on a dummy head or on my hand.)
Hair on a head is fur, unless otherwise requested. If hair is a third color, price will change.
Eyes: all styles except for glass or plastic "taxidermy" available. Eyes can be plastic if specified. If not, they will be fully foam/buckram. Semi-realistic follow-me eyes are in the head example.
$65 is a base price for two fur colors. More fur colors will change the price. As well as the addition of horns or extra-large ears (example: fennec fox.) Price for horns and ears are not only for materials, but a slight shipping cost to you due to change in box size and weight. Details on this will be provided with reference sheet.
Please inform me of ALL allergy/breathing/vision concerns you may have. Heads are back and bottom loading. Other head bases on request with price change, please inquire for details of foam/helmet based heads. Mesh has fleece lining on bridge of nose, forehead, and ears, but is NOT fully lined.
Example: Dr. Schrecklich, a mouse.

Note: There is no "mouse" nose on this head! This is due to a character and artist style decision. He also has no whiskers due to personality decision. Vision is excellent, the fan very helpful, and no fasteners on this head. Fasteners such as snaps and zippers are optional, but HIGHLY recommended.
Heads are made to try to match your sheet's art style as close as possible.

Even though it’s a static jaw, can you make it so that the mouth is open showing teeth?
And got any examples of other types of eyes you can do? Cause I donno much about fursuits heh .___.”
Where do the fasteners/snaps go?
And how long did your mouse head take? :D
~dumpling
I can have the mouth open if you want! It will cost a bit more due to lining the mouth with "gums" and teeth, but they are available.
Zippers and snaps are the most common fasteners on a suit. On the heads they tend to be in back so they aren't interfering with the face. The mouse head I made didn't have any, I just held open the neck and slipped my head in from the bottom. Having a closer in the back allows you to put it on from the back, which might be a bit better because I had my hair in my face when I was in the tan mouse head due to it being pulled down when putting it on.
My mouse head took me three days to build, and about two days to edit and add details. This was because I was my own model, so I could test it on me. Going off of measurements will take a little longer.
Keep in mind that my mouse head was going for a more "realistic" style, as opposed to a toon like style. But they both have the same type of construction. The change is in the padding of the cheeks, the eyes, and the end of the nose.
If I were to get a head, would you be able to do arms/paws as well? With additional costs of course, but I'm just curious because it would complete the partial look even with just normal shoes on ^^;
Did you click on the pictures of the mouse head? See how when he's fully to the side, the eyes are still looking at you, and when it's fully facing you it's looking at you? Yes, those are follow-me eyes. You seem to know more about this suiting than you let on! I wore Schrecklich around FC with just a tail, handpaws, and head. It works quite well.
Put me down for one and send me a note with what you need from me ^^
