getting back on track / commissions
Posted 10 years agoSo. I havent really been on here aside on my phone which had been about 2 months.
while DA hates phones so I really couldnt access notes, and responding to messages was a guessing game if it would actually send or not. so pretty much just was ghosting when I had time
for those who did not now
I moved at the very first of august in Lubbock, TX from Amarillo. so moving from my apt to a house with my boyfriend and shifting everything over was quite fun and all....so much adulting and all and having things todo before Trace had started school at Tech on the 24th, with no internet....with a sole internet class was a headache
along with earlier Texas floodings where my family and friends lived with helping them out, and other issues that had happened earlier in the year.
then some issues with the dogs where there was a 'miscommunication' and I wasnt allowed to have my dogs yet we had at the very beginning said we had dogs
so had to drop them off with my parents and just other things, we didnt want to unpack fully incase we had to move again, so after several weeks i said screw it and I HAD to mount something
so that was the quickest fox I had ever mounted I swear
then it just sorta went from there, while we finally got the OK with the dogs
I wanted to do a couple mounts to warm up, that were my own before I tackled commissioners to ensure I still had the touch haha
so please dont worry I haven't forgotten about any of you, this year has just been tons more busier than I had thought it would be...didnt even know id be moving in with my boyfriend or other milestones....that was quite a huge jump plus with adulting
but here is the list of commissioners that I have to ensure
standard marble fox - pedestal// Deviantart
red marble fox - lifesize// Deviantart
standard marble fox - lifesize // Deviantart
( need to find blue wolf pelt) wolf - lifesize// hometown
silver fox- lifesize// hometown
whitetail- shoulder mount// hometown
wolf- headdress// etsy
ringtail cat- lifesize// FurAffinity
I believe that is it.
if I am forgetting you please message me so I can besure to add you
I will be having some premades up for sale when I can fix my airbrush, or get a new nozzle.
I will also be uploading more onto my taxidermy page on facebook
https://www.facebook.com/CreatureUn.....akerTaxidermy/
so yea again sorry for the radio silences
I just have had alot of things happening this year that has left me running around with my head cut off.

Creature is moving
Posted 10 years agoCreature is moving to Lubbock, TX sweet!
where the plains are flat, the dust is insane and....college students from alllll over
home of the Texas Tech, while being an Aggie myself, this shall be interesting, but still gotta root for my mate.
I have been packing up and and waiting to move things as our home is on the final touches of getting finished up, and with the lease starting the 1st. alot of things to do and get ready.
commissions and mounting has been put on a stand still so nothing gets lost or broken from the transition.
anything frozen will remain frozen in my freezer until I can unpack and then onto mounting everything! with no fear of it getting broken!
selling soem things would be really great too
https://www.etsy.com/shop/CreatureU.....f=pr_shop_more
I do allow payment plans but not for anything under 400. unless it could be paid off within a months time.
so much to upload on here too, i feel horrible since FA is off my main list of my bar it sometimes gets left out.

making a FA possibly for NSFW? also back
Posted 11 years agoI have been thinking all week while I was away, with sketching all apparently nsfw things.
but I have been debatin on making a new account for my nsfw things on here?
or just keep it strictly to my secret tumblr that I post to of mainly just sketches but some finished products.
i think if i made one i would be more deteremined to finish the product instead of just rough sketches
and hell, I might even open up commissions for some things
though unsure exactly what since some of its i guess controversial, and then again linking it to my blog is im unsure if I want people knowing exactly what I draw.
guess I could do what some people do is, have it then have people ask if they want the link.
~~~
also back from visitin the parents, pretty glad too super glad.
i think i might set out a whitemark to start mountin this week just toget back into the groove of foxes, also since i need todo another shop piece since i gave the red marble to mom.
ill respond to everyone throuhout the day, or after work.

Fursuit / commission
Posted 11 years agoI am thinking of really getting a realisitc resin fullsuit of Creature, and a bodysuit of Vermin.
have been really been looking into it but not really sure who to look for and the ones who are, are closed like HMMM.
Kinda also wondering if someone who does do fursuit, and I like the style could do a trade out of a mount of one of my skins ( ranched fox, I think i have some coyotes) + lifesize mount.
as a fair trade out, I know I will need to pay the difference but unsure just who is into dead things that makes fursuits as well :I
but then again, id be willing to pay full price anyways if someone doesnt, thats not an issue there.
getting boxed up / boxed to ship this week if not first of next
Red Marble ( getting boxed tomorrow, we ran out of time)
Fire and Ice fox ( getting boxed tomorrow, we ran out of time)
Black coyote x 2 ( finishing ones back work)
tail
rat ring
order tails for Zombie
Work is going wekk, turned 5 mulies and a whitetail today, got 3 more todo tomorrow, tan things, flesh them and get them i nthe pickle, finish the bobcat.

Wild West Taxidermy Studio
Posted 11 years agowell, I have been working at Wild West Taxidermy Studio for a week now.
a taxidermist
commercial tanner
and rugger
things are going pretty good, boss is taking a week to head back down to our teachers habitat course.
he comes back, and we get 10 deer ready for the Texas big game banquet? or something I wanna say.
first day, of testing me out, turned and split 3 bobcats, 3 mule deers. nothing to it.
got them fleshed with his new hide master he had finished making, he was pretty impressed I have to say when i turned them quicker and more thorough then he was.
so told me, "ill see you on Monday and get you started on some things, if you want to, bring a raw animal and ill tan it for free"
I bought a red marble fox i had missed in my freezer when I was doing inventory.
and we was working on tuesday just cleaning some things up, cause he forgot to pull out the bobcat i was to work on and the elk cape he was going to mount. and we rehydrated 4 large elk back hides, 1 half back elk, 1 half back red stag, 2 deer half back halves, got them tumbled and stretched.
so Wednesday started working on prepping the bobcat ( first bobcat I've ever done )skin and form getting that worked up, doing the leaping pose which i never have liked but eh, customers choice and one of the larger ones it would fit the bobcat
same with Thursday, then some tweeking on Friday with preparing the shop of cleaning and organizing some for his absence.
but found out that 2 more guys will be coming on first in may, one 18, one 22 before they got to the taxidermy school in June and September.
with me just kinda calling him and showing him, saying if only he had 5 of me thats all wed need.
boss wants me to show them how to skin properly, turn and have them shadow him on a deer shoulder, and me a lifesize, he plans on having me do a grey fox for them to which which is pretty cool.
though he said yes on shadowing but hes mainly hiring them for deer and tannery since he was running it all by himself with his wife helping a little bit.
in payment hes tanning all my skins from now on, which is AWESOME dont have to shell out shipping costs and tannery expense.
cause thats like atleast 2-3k worth of stuff of like 20-30 foxes
2 dogs
3 horse capes
1 horse lifesize
2 bobcats
4-6 coyotes
1 coon
2 otter
1 squirrel
somethin or somethin
which is also good, got my recent order in from WLG and wasnt to pleased with the quality of work, fixable,just holes that werent there before like 8 inch gashes or 4 large 50 cent pieces behind the head.
so now i will be able to watch whats going on with them which really eases my mind.
so now I will be also get refreshed on deer, also with our climate being different up here than down south the tweaking on how on drying them up here.
doing elk, boars, african, bears, goats, exotics
tannery stuff of tumbling, tanning, shaving, fleshing with the hide master, stretching hides.
rugging
skull metal cladding( where he uses real metals on the skull to add finish work)
pretty much anything the boss wants me to learn.
so working on a show piece for the show room of the red marble i got from Kan as a show piece for now since he really loves that color until i can get one of the whitemarks done up, then that should be a site to see
~
So with that excitement, i pretty much go to class at 9AM to 11:30, check on the dog, head over there which is a 30-35 min drive from me monday-friday.
soon ill be able to bring Gaston with me when he builds the fence.
but cant wait til school is out cause then I can just wake up and head over there and stay til like 7-8 each day mounting things and having a cold one.
but school will officially be done on my birthday which is a great gift
school is done, and Godzilla will be on birthday!
dad is talking about going up to Canada first, riding a train to Alaska and then flying home sometime in summer.
also have to save up for Anthrocon in July @.@

but found out that 2 more guys will be coming on first in may, one 18, one 22 before they got to the taxidermy school in June and September.
with me just kinda calling him and showing him, saying if only he had 5 of me thats all wed need.
boss wants me to show them how to skin properly, turn and have them shadow him on a deer shoulder, and me a lifesize, he plans on having me do a grey fox for them to which which is pretty cool.
though he said yes on shadowing but hes mainly hiring them for deer and tannery since he was running it all by himself with his wife helping a little bit.
in payment hes tanning all my skins from now on, which is AWESOME dont have to shell out shipping costs and tannery expense.
cause thats like atleast 2-3k worth of stuff of like 20-30 foxes
2 dogs
3 horse capes
1 horse lifesize
2 bobcats
4-6 coyotes
1 coon
2 otter
1 squirrel
somethin or somethin
which is also good, got my recent order in from WLG and wasnt to pleased with the quality of work, fixable,just holes that werent there before like 8 inch gashes or 4 large 50 cent pieces behind the head.
so now i will be able to watch whats going on with them which really eases my mind.
so now I will be also get refreshed on deer, also with our climate being different up here than down south the tweaking on how on drying them up here.
doing elk, boars, african, bears, goats, exotics
tannery stuff of tumbling, tanning, shaving, fleshing with the hide master, stretching hides.
rugging
skull metal cladding( where he uses real metals on the skull to add finish work)
pretty much anything the boss wants me to learn.
so working on a show piece for the show room of the red marble i got from Kan as a show piece for now since he really loves that color until i can get one of the whitemarks done up, then that should be a site to see
~
So with that excitement, i pretty much go to class at 9AM to 11:30, check on the dog, head over there which is a 30-35 min drive from me monday-friday.
soon ill be able to bring Gaston with me when he builds the fence.
but cant wait til school is out cause then I can just wake up and head over there and stay til like 7-8 each day mounting things and having a cold one.
but school will officially be done on my birthday which is a great gift
school is done, and Godzilla will be on birthday!
dad is talking about going up to Canada first, riding a train to Alaska and then flying home sometime in summer.
also have to save up for Anthrocon in July @.@

Is it fair to request a refund?
Posted 12 years agoIs it fair to request a refund?
K, so ive been tossing this in my head for a long while now and felt like asking tumblr of just exactly what they would do? I have asked my close friends of this ordeal, and I just keep tossing it in my head.
name and item have been kept quiet because i am just getting opinions now.
~ story time~
I was interested in an item that had been listed up on a website for some time period, and had messaged them at the early part of July asking for better pictures because I wanted to bring it along to this convention with me at the end of October, which I had told them since If i were to buy it, that would be its main reason to use it for that said convention, since I dont have any other place to use said item.
I thought hey what the hell, go ahead and buy it and it was quite a expensive item ( 650+25 shipping) since I figured it was done anyways.
bought July 15th
the website said it would be shipped off around July- 30th
so no biggy I waited since the person and me is i say pretty good friends and thought nothing of it when that came about.
August came by and realized they had been busy with things they had been really interested in and didn’t have any time to do any work on any items. so just waited around expecting it, so September comes and gone
So end of september came about and I got wind they were leaving for about 2 weeks and asked about the item I had bought from them, saying you knew I needed this item by this certain time period, and I asked what was keeping it and said they needed to put something on it to make it more easy to wear, which I offered I could of done it if they were strapped for time, said they would try to get it before they left.
So I waited last week and first of this week expecting it possibly today…nothing. since they are gone, and have tried communicating to them but have been left unanswered even on just small chit chat.
So, do you find it fair to ask for a full refund of the said person when they knew I needed it by a certain time, and has pushed out 2 premade items when they had commissions to do, for things that have already been paid for. For not only myself but for other people. When I’ve letted it slide since I knew they were at things they enjoyed and didn’t want to be those kind of bad commissioners that are up your ass 24/7 asking if ” its done? is it done? can i see? whens it getting shipped?”
I figure if my patience is enough, and i show them a respectful time then I will get better results giving them space.
I don’t wish to get on their bad side, I do value their friendship wholeheartedly and really really dont want to do this and possibly end up with this squabble.
but from August ‘11 to July’ 13 I have placed 5914.25 to this person and feel I am getting a bit walked on here.

Posted 12 years agoSo why not make a new journal while im cleaning the apt.
and debating if i want to take pictures of everything that isn't frozen.
So doing my fall -annual brushing of the pelts-
and thought, hey im prolly going to be up til it goes through my system, plus i took a nap pretty late so YAAAAY cleaning at 3AM in the morning while everyone is asleep so i have to be quiet still
would people only want to see just pelts?
antlers?
mounts?
skulls?
capes?
shit i dunno....just things in general.
would you want mix between indoor/outdoor light?
some of these i wont be able to get pictures of like the mounts....i might there is a tree out there but to be hanging random deer heads out there when people are passing by makes me uneasy.
and my side is on the sun setting part so just bout when everyone is coming home.
id probably do a mixture of everything to keep everyone on their toes of like pelt, skull, mount, skull, and such.
plus I am still waiting on things so when they get here type of thing do that too.
I probably wont post pictures of the freezer items until I take them out to measure/mount
or just keep everything on my business tumblr when i get them in and stuff.

>Describe yourself the best you can?
Uhhh, I am more so an introvert, I like to drink, mainly vodka or whiskey or fruity drinks, I have a hard time dealing with talking on phones, guess you can say its a phobia I've had ever since I could remember.
to say, sometimes I suffer from depression, but I don't let that get me down, especially if my friends need me more. Friends are a huge thing, even if I can't physically hug them most of my online friends have always been there for me.
You can usually win my affection with food honestly haha, parents always bribed me with food.
I am weary of people honestly, I make sure I get a good gut feeling about them and make sure I can trust them, call it paranoia, I call it just being safe.

>do you RP?
Hell yea I do.
normally OC peoples more to the world.
But i have been used to using some peoples and just using that world to make it easier for both us to get our minds around the world.
>Religion?
I personally don't care about religion, any of it; I don't have time to think if i do something bad if I am going to hell or not. I just don't care for it.
I hate it when people shove religion down my throat, especially Christianity
I guess I would consider myself a Agnostic?
I love reading about angels and demons but I don't believe personally in a higher power, but believe there are miracles and some forces at work.
If you believe in something other, cool. You keep believing that just don't tell me about it.
>Favorite animals? (and their color phases)
guinea pigs( prefer rough coats)
foxes( love platinums and whitemarks best)

Korn, Ludo
Insane Clown Posse, Johnny Cash
Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson
Mindless Self Indulgence, Dead man's bones
The Beatles,
those are mainly ones from the top of my head; mainly i dont go by just artist I go by the music itself.
>How many live animals do you have?
At my apt I have:
A male Sheltie
2 male guinea pigs
>at my parents house:
a female pekenese
a male guinea pig
3 male cats
>soon after our land is cleared and the house is built:
a horse or 2
cattle
some goats/sheep
>What is your orientation?
I am straight, but huge supporter of others orientations
I classify myself as a gray-asexual and a demi-sexual.
>How are you able get so many Pelts?
I am comfortable; though the years I have had many people always asking this and I always find it literally rude for this question too.
Maybe my parents just taught me not to ask people what they make or their yearly salary.
Or people who try to rub their money within your face.
with working as a part time cashier, I often get this by older women or men. which is quite insulting in general.
to say simply I am fortunate and live a comfortable lifestyle.
>Where do you get them?
I get them from hunters and trappers as well as breeders for ranched animals
But I have been known to pick up things along side the road, I don't like to waste things when I don't have to.
within taxidermy school I was known as the scavenger because I always asked for the skulls or backhides and claws for when we was doing the shoulder mounts, or skinning for lifesize.
>how are they killed?
each trapper has their own way of dispatching
usually I know they use the catch pole, the needle method, gun shot and with my breeders they use the carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide method to ensure a quick and easy death.
I try not to get any that had their skull bashed, aside from being a skull collector.
>Will you tell me your breeders?
Nope, unless you are a really good friend, and a friend I know I can actually trust.
It took me a long while to find my breeders and I'm not one for telling where I get my sources.
>Why do you name them?
I like naming them, I don't know have always named things from stuffed animals, to even inanimate objects; I mean I even put a pink sticky note over the toaster named Jenny hahaha ( SPG)
I just find I connect more better with them if they got a name.
If I've made a character from them, then I will literally never ever sell them since they are apart of my mind children now.
>Self taught or school?
I learned about taxidermy as a young age, and skinned a few things before usually a fox or some coyotes a few years before going into school in the fall of '10
at http://www.centraltexasschooloftaxidermy.com/
>What type of taxidermy do you prefer?
traditional hands down, yes I did support plushies when they were first were getting big, even had the 3rd plush on dA but within the 5 years from it to now, I have grown to like them less and less, more so with the people and fad itself. I don't dislike persay plushies as themselves I mean I still even have one, and like seeing well made ones.
I also love rogue taxidermy too though, avid fan of that and what animals could be created with other different parts of the animal.
>Do you support poachers or game hunters?
I don't support poachers at all, thats just wrong and to take an animal that is protected or out of season just to sell or have for themselves, I find very wrong in my eyes as well as like to keep things legal.
Game hunters, I find it a waste of them just getting it as a trophy, and not using the meat or rest of the hide, but if you going to have your name out there and a actual taxidermist and getting your name out there, you will run into these kinds of people.
Just hope they bring you the whole animal so you can get the rest for yourself haha, or hope the meat has gone to villages if in Africa or something.
>Why don't you make plushies?
As said before I just don't find them my type, and would really like people to get into trad. as well instead of just spazzing at seeing a plushy and only wanting them.
granted I know sometimes space is an issue, I am living in a one bedroom apt. I know space is hard.
But I really only see people try to do plushies to make a quick buck and get a quick business going and then flopping belly up usually with trying to do it as cheap as possible and not even having all the supplies yet. I just don't have the desire to start a job yet, aside from the taxes, and getting a business licensee even with TX not needing a taxidermy license, if you start up a business then you need one.
>Will you be doing any Commissions in the future?
I probably won't here.
Personally with just how seeing the new generation trade mounts and sell them like they are Pokemon cards. I don't feel the need to sell them.
Or they rehydrate them to mount them, themselves, which is another fear of mine for my mounts.
Unless I feel the person I sell them to will take care of it or my friends.
>Will you sell any mountable pelts to me?
Probably not, If I bought mountable skins they are usually for myself and my personal collection.
I have sold off my wall-hangers though, which some people are claiming them as mountable, which they clearly arn't. I know what is and isn't mountable, I am not dumb, but with people trying to call it mountable to sell it for higher, what ever its their problem if it falls apart or looks like its been to hell and back.
But whatever, DA really has lost the meaning of 'whats mountable' and are just trying to get into the fad of plushing literally everything they can get their hands on still. sad but true.
>What supplies do you use?
I use the basic, mainly Mckenzie with forms, I have really gotten spoiled on Dennis eyes so I would either use him or Tohickon eyes then just spider wire, leather needle, hide paste, clay.
>Do you tan things yourself?
I've done it before, Ive used Rittelz and Mckenzie brush on tan.
But now i find it just easier to send it off to a tannery. Less mess.
>When do you plan on becoming a fox farmer?
After I get settled and see which state I want to start my fox farm, I dont gather it will be another 10 years I am sure until I finish school and get set off right to ensure the welfare of the animals will be good.
>Are you going to school now?
I am currently going to school to be a Mortician/Embalmer for the state of Texas
I would also like to take some classes with business as well as speech and drama.
>Are you going to become a licensed taxidermist?
Some time down the road when I am able to accept more work, and an actual home or business place.
I would feel more comfortable having an actual place to run my business from, so probably not for another 5 or so years and then I will probably just remain part time and do it on the side from my actual job as a Mortician until I get tired from that job.
If you do not agree with how I view things or my line of thinking.
If you don't try to preach to me your views then I believe we will be ok, because I won't be preaching to you on my views.
If I offend you with some of them, I am not sorry; this is how I view things with having grown up and matured this is my view on things.
If there is any questions you'd like to see me add
just go to my tumblr and you can ask as yourself, or anon. which ever.
http://creatureundertaker.tumblr.com/
Still going through my gallery on what I would like to keep and what not, and anxiously waiting for packages haha.

I've done it before, Ive used Rittelz and Mckenzie brush on tan.
But now i find it just easier to send it off to a tannery. Less mess.
>When do you plan on becoming a fox farmer?
After I get settled and see which state I want to start my fox farm, I dont gather it will be another 10 years I am sure until I finish school and get set off right to ensure the welfare of the animals will be good.
>Are you going to school now?
I am currently going to school to be a Mortician/Embalmer for the state of Texas
I would also like to take some classes with business as well as speech and drama.
>Are you going to become a licensed taxidermist?
Some time down the road when I am able to accept more work, and an actual home or business place.
I would feel more comfortable having an actual place to run my business from, so probably not for another 5 or so years and then I will probably just remain part time and do it on the side from my actual job as a Mortician until I get tired from that job.
If you do not agree with how I view things or my line of thinking.
If you don't try to preach to me your views then I believe we will be ok, because I won't be preaching to you on my views.
If I offend you with some of them, I am not sorry; this is how I view things with having grown up and matured this is my view on things.
If there is any questions you'd like to see me add
just go to my tumblr and you can ask as yourself, or anon. which ever.
