Blow Up N' Show Up - Free Design Consulting
13 years ago
General
I'll be honest. Some of you may ask why I do a lot of this without a dime to my name. Well honestly, I do get something out of all these renders for friends and even random watchers. I get experience but where do I intend to go with this? To be frank, my whole journey into the fandom 14 years ago started with fursuits. I became fascinated by some of the live action children's shows on the Disney Channel and PBS back in the 80's and 90's and I could never shake it. If anything was hard though, it was having so many ideas and no real outlet for them up till now. So many character ideas so many things I would want to see brought to life in the real world through a plush, a toy, or a suit. I'm sure many of you have those kinds of ideas too.
Well I want help myself and others. I want to become a design consultant for suits and toys both plush and inflatables. Are you planning to have a custom fursuit made? I would love to render out the details in a rotatable model for reference to the next person you'll be commissioning if not,yourself. Going to have a toy or an inflatable suit made but can't past just using words to describe how it looks? I wanna help.
So. I am opening my doors to those who can use some help for their project. Blow Up N' Show Up is here and in process of coming online at blowupnshowup.com but for now, note me if you need any references made or character designs to flesh out or just wanna talk about character design in general. If I like the idea, I'll be happy to render it up so you can use it to have it made when that time comes. Don't fret about money, I'm still doing this for experience so its free. I do most things along the lines of a mid toon style (see my gallery) however realism is not what I'm going for (though I have great appreciation for artists who can do that kind of style). Otherwise, if you're interested note me your pitch. I'd love to see some of the awesome suit and toy ideas floating around.

So, not only are you doing references for potential commission-ees, you're also offering consultation on the design? That's an excellent idea.

Hmm, I'm tempted. Suiting is a ways off for me, but I'm willing to dip a toe in it if you think either Tankaa or Ori are interesting enough...

Not sure about suiting though, they can be very expensive to make, but I like the idea you have and I think it will help you a lot in the future. ^.^ Best of luck to you dude!

I have a good few characters I've been wanting to figure out, I may have to take you up on this...

I'd be interested but I would also say one character at a time. Pick your most beloved idea and if you have references please note them to me. Happy to talk on most messengers including skype.

Ah, this would be designing from scratch

Oh, in that case this may require some more discussion. Feel free to ring me up on aim, yahoo, or skype.

Well I am still happy you did a head model of my Ceyla here, one of these days I wouldn't mind making her into an actual toy. I would say suit but I am thinking that could get a bit awkward for me.

I really need to complete her. I know I can do better now.

I'm not sure how an inflatabunny would work out as a suit.

OP
I'm not too sure about the inward design but for the outward design, let's talk about that
