Future Commissions and Process Updates!
9 years ago
Hey all! So with things I bit more solidified for the future, we have what's closer to a definite date we will be able to complete commissions.
Our current date is possibly subject to change, but we're going to shoot for September 2016.
We will be queueing up until January 2017. We will be opening FOUR slots.
The way we will be opening slots is slightly different than most makers, in that we will give you the option for the month you choose your suit to be completed in.
The slots that will be open will be grabbable by month, the month being the date your suit is completed. (For example, If we open in june and you are the first to choose, you may choose any month following june.) This is to give an opportunity both to those who want their suits fast and to those who wish to do a payment plan to better afford a fursuit. The months are first come, first serve, but you have the option of when you want your suit to be completed.
We will be opening for slot grabs in Mid-May to Early June, with the work starting and end ending during the month of September for our first suit! This gives us time to get situated since we're going to be moving over July/August, and also gives us a bit of time to sort things out and order fur for projects!
When we open for slots in June please be aware you may have limited contact until work begins in September!
The way our system is going to work will be; We will post a journal with the link to our google doc which has a form you can fill out via note. After sending in the form you will recieve a quote on it. If you choose to get a suit from us, months available will be posted in a journal. If, for example, you want your suit quickly and have enough money to pay before the completion date; you might choose an earlier month, September for example. If you want a suit but would prefer a few months to pay slowly, you may choose December. The month you choose will be the month your suit will be completed within. So if you choose December for example, don't expect progress work before December, however you will be updated with pictures of your fur once it's ordered in advance, as well as being able to follow our tumblr (featherbat.tumblr.com) to recieve updates on other suits and get some ~hype~!
As always, securing your spot means paying your material cost (35-40% of the full cost) and all supplies for following months will be ordered at the same time! So you will recieve updates on fur color and we will work with you ensure the materials were ordering are up to par for you!
Another thing that will be available will be in our toony heads; we will be working with Replacement eyes, which are removable for washing, and can be replaced in a variety (usually 3!) expressions. Replacement eyes are only available on heads without following eyes. For heads with following eyes, the pair of eyes will be able to velcro out for washing, but can't be replaced. Instead we're working on replacement eyelids,so your character may be able to change their expression from happy, to angry, to tired!
We have some neat things in the work!
As well, we're working on getting situated into a consistent sort of style, so expect to see a bit more uniformity in our gallery (most notably, the Aries Lion fursuit will be our toony standard, and a suit coming up in the coming month, Starbolt, will be our Semi-realistic standard.)
We are also going to work with head casting via expanding foam for toony heads and resin for semi-realistic heads as well as working with our resin blank to possibly create a toony-realistic hybrid-type-suit. Even though or commissions are closed, we've got a lot to offer in the coming months so stay tuned!
Thanks for reading, guys! Looking forward to working with anyone interested!
