I posted this to my twitter and I'm going to say something similar here (but expanded past 140 characters..)

Since I get regular queries on this, I just want to make a general PSA for folks looking for more information.

Yes, I am currently closed to all new fursuit orders and I do NOT know if/when I'm going to reopen. I am NOT quitting but I'm just not sure I want to continue with the same customer/commission approach that I've been using and I am contemplating various alternatives.

I currently only make maybe 6 suits a year so, as you can imagine, there is significantly more demand than supply XD So I am closed so that I can spend my time working on my current queue plus so I do not lead anyone on or prevent them from pursuing other commission opportunities.

One idea I am considering will be to take commission only via auctioning off open slots. An example is holding an auction for a cat head. Or maybe for a full plantigrade suit. Or basically whatever I'm currently interested in working on/can fit into my timeline. It may be of a specific type or species or not.

Another possibility is having a set list of character design s that I want to make and then selling them as first-come-first-served. In this example I design a specific fursuit reference and put it at a set price. And you buy that design and then I make it for your measurements.

A third idea is to just make premade suits and then sell (either at a set price or at auction) then as a complete suit with no wait.

What's likely is that I'll do a little bit off all of these. Maybe I'll still take a commission here or there if I like a design.


So the TL;DR is that I cannot currently answer questions regarding future commissions and wanted to give a bit more of an explanation on why. I can still answer commission-related questions but anything specific to "Can I have a commission/How much will it cost" is going to probably just get dead air over here because I do not have an answer at this time.

This fall I expect to complete my current queue and I will spend some timed deciding on my future approach. I am not deciding that right now because I'm fickle and just want to make cool things ^^ So I will slowly introduce new ideas and see what takes root and makes me the most fulfilled while being as fair as possible to everyone.
