Hai everyone!

My recent trip to rainfurrest and discovery of some somewhat local furries has led me to want to get a fursuit!

Basically here is what i am planning:
-Not sure if I'm going to get a full suit or partial ( if i get a partial i would like to get paws and fur up to my shoulders if its possible for short-sleeve tee shirt wearing)

-I would likely stay with the toony theme as my fursona is a young skittle fox kit and having realistic looking stuff doesn't tickle my fancy that much.

-I don't know if the star markings on my cheeks and body would result in the cost being much higher or not. Ref: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13667600/

-Am looking to spent $1000-$2000 (although for full payment would have to wait till i get my tax return)

-Deadline for the suit would be before Ranfurrest 2015 (late september)

I have to admit I'm defiantly a noob at this so hopefully someone out there will have some advice or answers to my questions:

1) If I want to commission a suit for Rainfurrest 2015 (in late september) how far ahead of time should i commission it?

2) What is DTD? and is it needed for every fur part?

3)what is the turnaround time on a partial or full suit?

3) Can anyone recommend any fursuit makers to me?

Answers to any of these questions or any advise is greatly appreciated!
