Update about fursuit commissions and future projects!
9 years ago
I have figured out what I'll be doing with fursuit commissions from now on! When I got into fursuits I tried operating much like any full-time maker would right away but I realize that was a mistake! Since I am not a full-time maker, taking on multiple projects and having a big queue sit in front of me just became too overwhelming and stressful! Plus I put a lot of pressure on myself to work as much as I could, sacraficing the fun from suitmaking and aiming more towards completion of each costume with as best quality as possible.
Now that I have learned from this mistake and the fact that I am still not a full-time maker and won't be, I am changing up the way I do commissions!! I will be starting this in 2017! I am soon going to finish up the current digi fullsuit I've been working on, then I have another digi fullsuit that will be done before MFF and lastly on my queue is a digi bodysuit with attached feet. Once my current queue is done I will be working full-time at walmart cos I really need to make more money right now XD That's the main reason I am changing up the way fursuit making will be!
To be as simple as possible, I will from not on take on one costume at a time and work at a slower pace to craft each costume and have fun with it. No more pressuring myself on what should be done when etc.. I will just spend a bit of each day til its done. Updates and WIPs of course will be provided to each customer!
Some more details to go along with this:
-I will be charging material costs and shipping only
-A fullsuit may take as long as 5 months or more, it really depends on complexity
-When I calculate costs I will round up a bit since I don't calculate everything like machinery used and new hot glue guns, shavers, and sewing machines may be necessary in the future and that extra bit will help later!
-I won't be opening publically for new custom orders for awhile
There have been a handful of people in the past that had slots from me but due to stress, the way things were going in life, etc.. I was unable to handle it and cancelled and refunded some costumes. SO before I open publically I am giving these people a chance to get a suit still if they want one! You can see details about this here:

So as you can see I will be making a few suits before I open publically. But if you're super interested in my work you can follow me on Instagram for updates and the waiting list will be added to my queue later once I hear back from everyone and confirm who is on it! On the profile page there is a link to a telegram group chat as well. I post there with updates and WIPs, too! X3
Anyway that's all for now! If anyone has questions feel free to ask! Thanks for reading!
