2018 off to a great start plus suit decisions....
8 years ago
Well so far 2018 has been a real whirlwind of good things for me! I'm super pumped as I continue planning for the wedding, and I did better this month salewise then I EVER have in my entire 2 year history on Etsy! It's really amazing what a difference paid ad space has made for me and my business, and I'm loving every second of it. Worth every penny, and I don't even pay that much for it.
I am facing a little bit of a difficult decision for me personally in that I am debating completely remaking Elbi from the ground up, in my style, with a head by me, and retiring her old suit for lazy outings or cons too far to accomodate her new one. It's tricky because the head Kilcodo made me is so beautiful, but is definitely starting to see it's age now, the jaw has loosened, the neck is mucky and no amount of cleaning can help, and just overall I'm looking for a new fresh take on her. I know I said I'd never make her digi (lol) but I think if I make it subtle digi I'll be able to survive. She needs a new backpack, her ld shell is falling apart, just needs a total rehaul. I am praying I have the time and funds to do this in the fall, but we'll see. Still very much on the fence over this, or just sticking with Euphemia my cybunny as my new con suit. Torn, torn torn. my life is changing so much and my attitude towards everything is shifting, so I feel like a shift in characters may be the best for me rather then a new suit for Elbi.
What do you guys think? Should I just make Euphemia a fullsuit or revamp Elbi?
Elbi will always be my best self, my sona and my main, but suitwise I feel like I need something fresh, especially as my skills improve and I grow jealous of my own customers for having more of my work that I'm proud of then I do!

FA+

I do hope you can revamp Elbi at some point. She was one of the first suits I really connected with back at the ill-fated Maltese Furcon. But if you want to try a new direction in personal suiting by fullsuiting Euphemia (I don't have a picture to go by, but I'm assuming another cute fursuit xD) or another suit, I encourage it as well!
I'd definitely revamp Elbi in one way or another, but I'm curious about Euphemia. Do you have a ref sheet?
Euphemia has a ref, but I have to add some stuff to it. http://i66.tinypic.com/jpjxmx.png
She’s harley-quinn inspired and also has colors from my tattoos! Her entire design really speaks to me. And I’m DYING to make her furry pigtails! Don’t think I’ve seen a suit with pigtails lol
