Thinking through my options.
11 years ago
EDIT:
So I've decided to piece my suit together, bit by bit.
Partial with wings by Beastcub.
Bodysuit by That's Furred Up!
Alternate hands and feet will be by Matrices.
So um..yeah. It's going to be interesting, that's for sure.
So I'm looking around at the fursuit makers I like most, trying to decide how I'm going to go about getting my own made. I'm come to a few conclusions but I'm not sure what to pick.
1) Get an entire suit from Beastcub.
2) Get an entire suit from Ruffled Designs (who knows how expensive this option would be..)
3) get just a head from Beastcub and have Matrices make the rest.
4) Otter.n.daughter (only thing I don't like is their ear styles)
5) Totally Frankenstein-ing a suit. (Head and wings from BC probably, body from That's Furred Up, hands and feet and tail from Matrices..)
blah.
Pros of Beastcub:
-Really cute
-Moving jaw
-Well known maker (no shady business)
Cons of Beastcub:
-bodysuit alone is over 1k
-has a more realistic style
-would be charged out the ass for extra markings (probably just a thing I'll have to deal with regardless)
Pros of Ruffled Designs:
-fucking love their suits
-wonderful digigrade
-wonderful feet (omg those pawpads)
-they seem super friendly
-well known artist (again, no shady business)
Cons of Ruffled Designs:
-dear god I can only imagine the price tag (but maybe that's okay because it'd be a kickass suit)
-aren't open any time soon
-idk if they'll use parts from other makers (I really love DVC hooves and cloppers)
Pros of Beastcub / Matrices:
-head would have all the parts I want
-body would be significantly cheaper
-Matrices has kickass feet too
Cons of Beastcub / Matrices:
-Matrices only does plantigrade suits right now (could maybe ask..)
-Beastcub's eye style might not work well for the big oval-y pupil-less eyes
-The wings might be a problem
-idk if Matrices uses other people's parts
Pros of Otter.n.daughter:
-Suits are cute.
-I think her style could work well with the eyes.
-Uses DVC parts.
-Less expensive than Beastcub or Ruffled.
Cons of Otter.n.daughter:
-less well known artist
-doesn't have as many examples
-doesn't like using DVC cloppers
-I don't like her ear style.

Beastcub is awesome! :D OOOOh I loved Otter.n.daughter wolf shark they had up for auction. ^.^ I am the same though, some of the ear designs i dont care for. But it seems they can work with some options. they have some cute cat ears, and floppy pup ears. Have you looked at Soxyfoxstudios. ^.^ she made my saberwolf super cute. and she is going to make the body suit soon. :D There is also another maker, who makes cool heads like Otter.n.daughter. I cant remember their name I will check it out. :)
