I already linked to youtube which is where all of my video tutorials are but the written ones will have to be found (if they were hosted offsite) or rewritten and rehosted.
Until then, I just have the videos and this: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=beetlecat&keyword=Beetlecat%20Tutorials&filter=all
I really appreciate it when big names like yourself deign to bless us plebeians with your knowledge and insight.
I would not have been able to do anything with the craft if not for gracious artists like yourself.
Then again, if I'd found you earlier in my fursuit research, I might never have made my own because your style is so compatible with what I was looking for anyway...
what should i store my fursuit in? and/or how should i travel with it?
uhh i cant think of anymore at the moment, you pretty much got it covered *thumbs up*
I do have 'can I get a deal' but I think I will make a general 'discounts' question to cover all those sorts of things specifically hmm
Will there be a discount if the I send you the fur. shoes ect?
I hope this helps. :D
'What creatures will I not do' is a very difficult one since there really are no absolutes. But at the same time, I do have preferences, but it's hard to state exactly what those are lol
and you mention the fursuits, but a basic faq about the ear and tail combos you make.
Hmm what would I say about ears/tails? I go over how to order them through my online store as well as answer 'Why do you not accept commissions for ears/tails/paws?'
"What style of fasteners do you use to hold suits shut, and can I have you use x style instead?"
"How much do I have to bribe you to let me commission you for a licensed character suit?" LOL
"Can you remake for me something in your gallery?"
"How long will it take to complete my order?"
"Do you send WIP photos?"
"Can you deliver it in time for my event?"
