Reference art and delays
9 years ago
Time is just going by too fast this year! been meaning to do a journal for a couple weeks now and just never get around to make it happen so here it is.
Reference art.
I cannot say enough that when your thinking of commissioning a suit, be it rubber or fur... Have reference art!!!!!!!!!!
It gets soo frustrating when someone is trying to explain what they are wanting and just send you pictures of someone elses suit or says "Its like this, you understand right"
Like soo many of the suit makers out there we deal with soo many detail on each suit that it can be a jumble if things when trying to "remember" just one little detail from 5 suits ago.
At this point if your going to inquire about something and need a quote then please have something, something even basic... Some form of ref art and not just 6 different pics of suits that you would like made into your own suit.
Work delays
Between FC, Having a cold that felt like death warmed over and some ever increasing family worries there will be a delay in production. Nothing major but enough to set me back a few weeks.
Just wanting to give a heads up now instead of mid crisis and thing going totally out of whack..
The suit that will be completed in the next couple weeks that area already behind
Echo- finishing head now, rest is complete
Razek- finishing body, rest is ready to rawr
TBFM- Finishing the wolfs feets then he can play
Ashkore- Also werkin on dem feet pawz.
Artemis- installing his digital eyes then tackling the body
Megachar- new fur arrived, will be starting the remake soon
Argon- new mods are done, he is ready!
Shelby- Soooo many scales.. 493 on the head, will have several thousand on the body.. Wheeee
There are others too, but this is a good start.

I built my space suit with the bare minimum of reference art, and I ended up wanting to add details that really needed stuff sewn in from the start when it was easy. I was making it for myself and I had the luxury of the time it took sometimes to undo stuff and sew it up again. So for my next project, I will prepare complete drawings and sketches ahead of time so any doodads that need structural strength will get it. And I'm just a beginner at this, making beginner's suit(s).
