Just to reiterate, Closed, open again maybe in April. (maybe, I may never re-open :P).

If you need to reach me please email me at whateveryouprefur@yahoo.com. It's clean and works great again. :)
I will still try to answer pm's here as well every once and awhile. (though not as often)

Please understand also that I will be answering past and present commissioners first and foremost.
I'll try to check messages at least once a week as I am extremely busy with senior year of college. I will be working on thesis and need to stay ahead or will fail (it would cost me 40,000 to go back a year, which I can't do). Also, if you're not a commissioner, plese be patient. I can't handle too much stress at the moment.

Thank you for understanding.

This will be my last journal for a while. Thanks everyone!

I'm back (after an extended stay ahahah) and feeling better, the vacation was a much needed one and it was great seeing my family and even my best friend (I hadn't seen them in 2 years!).
I'll be trying to answer emails and shipping stuff tomorrow or Friday (Thursday I will be too busy). School has started up and I'm wrapping up here. Once these last 2 commissions are shipped I'm done :D Which means, I won't be coming on here for any reason for awhile, maybe every now and then to see whats up, but otherwise I'll be extremely busy. I will try to check my email as often as I can, but please understand I will be busy with my senior year, which will call for all my time, this is my only time to shine and I really need the job afterward, so I need to focus hard now.

Soon I'll be posting my farewell for awhile journal ahaha, but for now I'll be finishing up and hopefully posting some cool new pics up here real soon :D

Thanks everyone!

I can't believe how fast this week went by. I was unable to finish a few things and still waiting on funds to ship a partial, but everything will be sorted out by the time I return. I'm excited to see my family and very grateful to them for paying for my trip to see them out west. It also gives me time to catch up on school work.

I'm taking a break from PM's and email. I want this to be a stress-free, work free vacation (aside from school but that's a must at this point). I will answer any messages here and my work email promptly upon my return.

Thank you so much everyone! I'll be back soon! :)

I'm slowly going insane! My bank sent my new card to my old address.....thus I have no debit card at the moment. To top it off, I could cancel the card, but I would lose my card number (which means I'd need to go in and change a lot of information through my schools billing office and online bill pays, which, would be crazy annoying. I might end up doing this if I can't get a hold of my old postal office, but even if I got a new card sent to me, it wouldn't be here in time. Ugh, I need to ship stuff :/ I guess I will have to cancel everything and get a temp card.... then change everything when I get back....Geez.
/endrant.

In other news, slowly finishing up everything while still getting ready for college.

I have left:
Mail Unicorn partial
Finish Skox
Finish Realistic Resin Coyote (this is taking longer then expected but it'l be my first complex resin mask).
Finish Foam Head
Mail Tail
Finish Jen's new additions and Mail

Then I'm done for good :) No more suits from me for awhile! (if at all).
As a side note, once I'm finished here I will continue to answer PM's and messages as I can, but I will not be on here as often. I will be insanely busy with college (and I mean insanely busy, as in I will be sleeping at most 5 hours a day if things go according).

More updates soon everyone! Thanks! :)

Welp, Stayed with a relative a lot longer then expected, but it was a nice visit and I really enjoyed myself, went to the beach; it was a nice ending to summer :) I will be leaving to go on an official vacation of sorts via the 13th. But I will have everything finished and shipped by then, this may or may not include heads I'm installing fans for, I'll let you two know if it looks like time will allow it or if it's looking like the original October/ November months.

Still slowly going through PM's, if you really can't wait please feel free to email me. Once again please note, that commissioners (old and new) will always get priority when I answer messages, that being said, now that I've moved in to a new place (most things are still in boxes) I will be unpacking, shipping stuff, and answering the backlog of emails and pm's from non-commissioners. I will also be furring a head tomorrow and finishing a realistic partial. (if all goes according to schedule).

Oh! And once again, a reminder that I am closed for commissions. Also, please, if you have fursuit making questions, do not send mult. messages with different questions...it really fills up my inbox and makes it difficult to shift through them all, I don't mind getting one large message vs. tons of smaller ones.

Thanks everyone.

Moving, I'm making a quick stop to see a relative on my way back to my families house. Sorry for the delays. I'll be back on to answer messages tonight if possible. I have a lot of stuff, so a very kind friend is actually taking much of my fursuit stuff with them to my families home (I want to make sure they are kept in a cool place at all times) I will join them in a day or so.

Thank you.

Well, my full time job is over (I was only hired for a month and a half program). Now That I have the time again I will be able to finally ship stuff and work on finishing up the last two commissions and foam head. Time is still pretty tight atm though, the lease on my college home is up and I'm moving everything into storage (lucky for me most of everything is already in boxes). I'll be answering PM's and such tonight ;)

Also! My email address whateveryouprefur[at]yahoo.com has been cleaned out, so, it's safe to email me there again if you need to reach me asap.

Thanks everyone!

The last 2 weeks has been non-stop busy :/ I've only had perhaps about 8 hours total to work on those last fursuit-related things. I have one more week of this job left and then I'll have my regular all-day free-time back :) In the mean time please bear with me as I answer PMs and emails slowly :/ I have sooo many of them, mostly quotes and questions. I'm keeping my eyes open for the last remaining commissioners, if I see you're name I'll try to answer you first and foremost :)

Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone, please bear with me as I go through the PMs, I'm happy to answer questions on building etc. but please don't PM me 25 messages asking mult. questions :/ It really backs up my inbox and makes it difficult to reply to clients.

Otherwise, I recently started my job and an online summer class, it's loads of fun and such, but it takes all day and sometimes late into the night, my time has been very limited. Any free time is going towards my last commissions right now, not answering PM's or emails asking for quotes or how I made something, etc. Please understand, I'll try and get to those emails, but it might be sometime D:

Thanks everyone! :)

Well, all moved in! I had a TON more then I thought. SO much so that I had to make two trips to get everything :I eeeek.

My internet has been on the fritz since my return. I'm not sure how long it's been this way, but after complaining and explaining how important my internet is, my landlords have called Comcast. Comcast comes on Monday to fix things....we'll see how that goes :P In the mean time I have been able to sign on again, but it's reeeeealy slow.

So, I'm finishing up here, the long awaited realistic coyote suit, Arty's Head, a partial, and foam base. I'm also going to see if I can't start uploading all those suits that I never posted :P There's a ton of them! Once I'm done, I will...well, sort of disappear for awhile :( I will start work (I should have already started but, been so busy.) on my short film. So, needless to say I won't be on here at all. If anyone must reach me for any reason, you can email me at whateveryouprefur[at]yahoo.com I will try my best to answer, but please be aware that yahoo address has some known issues and a rather sad amount of spam (that's what I get for plastering it on the internet ;) )

I want to thank everyone for the continued support and wonderful comments. I'm glad there's people that have enjoyed my work through the years, I hope I can continue, but...we'll see :)

More updates soon (if comcast does fix things...)

Hey everyone, sorry for the slow updates, I've been in the process of moving and will be (hopefully if everything goes smoothly this time) back and moved into my college home by the 15th.

In the mean time I'll be going through my Pm's again.

Which brings me to another reminder,

I am <b>closed</b> and will not be giving quotes for suits for any reason (even if you are willing to wait for me to open again.) Thank you all so much for the interest though! :)

Thanks everyone! :D

Check it out!

Thank you so much to everyone that voted on the eye styles and color! :)

This head was really fun to make, I haven't made anything for myself in a long time, and this was the perfect opportunity since I really needed the funds :P This head sports a newer nose model from me as well, ;) Working on finishing up these last two commissions :D It's amazing how many heads/ suits I've made in these past 2/3 years! I didn't realize there were so many! I really need to post a huge chunk of commissions that never got posted up, that's the last thing on my list ;D I really enjoyed working with all of you and I'll never forget any of my commissioners <3 You guys are wonderful :(

Will be shipping loads of stuff on Monday :P Lots of Fur and some fursuit items :)

Also, another reminder, thank you to all of you who are interested in commissioning me for a suit, but I am sadly closed for a long time (until I finish college maybe longer). Please stop sending me PM's as it sort of backs up my inbox and makes it difficult to get to important pm's :( I really do appreciate the interest though! :)

Thanks again everyone! :D

I few updates, I will be selling some fur (no longer need it so why not sell it ;D? I really need the funds too :P)
Currently finishing up A Skunk/Fox head base, Partial parts (of which I've run out of fur for :( ) and this realistic Coyote, (working with the jaw and eyes now).

Also, please, if you've emailed me at whateveryouprefur@yahoo.com, I am slowly shifting through spam and quote requests, please bear with me, or, feel free to PM me here and I will try to respond asap.

Last, I've got somewhat of a premade head done so far, I ended up using a project that I never finished since, I simply do not have the time to build a head from scratch between commissions :P It was originally my personal suit. But I never finished it, until now! I really love the style of this head, so I hope everyone else will too :) Rent is coming up, so I will hopefully have it up by tomorrow depending how far I get today on the remaining commissions.

One last thing though.....this head will be sort of toony/puppy-like, the markings could be Timber Wolf or maaaaybe Coyote. But the thing I'm debating on is its eyes....I made some plastic toon eyes for it, I'll see if I can't use my phone to take a picture? But I can't help but notice a lot of people like the follow-me eyes on my suits. So, should I go with those? Some people find them creepy, others really like them. What would sell best?

UPDATE: Is there any place to buy lavender fur? I can't price it without, but if it's a fur that has been discontinued for the time being I might just offer it up as "best offer."

I passed my idea, very excited! I will be turning it into an animated short film over the summer and into next year. In the mean time I will not be open for commissions :( Sorry everyone.

I found out that I will need to pay for summer classes so I will be making a premade head (I have a coyote, a head, foam base, and partial to complete first)

I was going to create a realistic Silver fox, but if a toony head would sell better, please let me know! Plastic toon eyes or follow me? Canine, something else? I'm open to suggestions/ ideas :) Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks you guys!

I've been getting a ton of quote requests recently, so just a quick reminder, I am closed for commissions, I've updated this page and I will also be updating my old site to reflect this, sorry for any confusion :)

My remaining commissioners, I've sent emails/ PM's out with updates and ship dates, let me know :D

Last week of college :D Need to pass, so working hard! I will be back on regularly after next week :)

Thanks everyone!

I have been without a phone since around the... 8th? I can't take it anymore D8 I never knew how hard it was without a cell phone LOL. I've actually missed some opportunities, but thanks to a close friend I was able to get into an art show at the last sec (literally, it was 3 hours before the show ahahaha). I'm hoping it's just the battery and not the phone...but mult. chargers don't seem to want to charge it, so that's my best guess. It's so hard finding someone to drive me to the Verizon store :/ Esp. when I can't call someone ;) hur hur.

I will try to answer emails today. Been very busy catching up with school work. Portfolio's are due now and I still have...nothing....so I'll be working on that for a little bit. Trying to get summer internships :/
I'll be resuming fursuit work on Monday. I've got to ship a foam head, Anime wolf and paws, electro head, a tail, feetpaws and Tibby. I've been doing art commissions on the side to bring in a little money to ship with, oh, and closed my bank of America account! No more unfair over-draft fees! Yay :D Banking with Vystar now. But, if anyone else knows of a really nice Bank in Florida, or in general, mind sharing your experiences?

Hey everyone, been working all week, still working on pensive and coyote, last min. adjustments on anime wolf and turlough along with some white feetpaws.

More updates soon :)
Thanks everyone.

Well, I pitched my finalized idea (the one that i have been re-working this whole time) and...failed. :( So that's that. Sigh....some of the stories that passed were horrible, so I was kinda ticked off, but oh well. I have to come up with 5 new stories by tomorrow. If I don't pass the "do or die" then I will have to repeat, which would also be very bad.

Thank you all so much for the kind words last time, let's hope for the best.

Also, please give a get well soon to Saluna of Avsun, she's recovering from emergency surgery :) She's ok now, it's just so lucky she went in when she was in pain, otherwise she could have died from internal bleeding D8.

I will be shipping tomorrow (HURRAY) I found a ride, and they can't back out because school will be over tomorrow muahahahhah, no excuuuuuse. Thank you guys for being patient :)

Ok, going to pull an all nighter coming up with ideas and drawings for them. *sigh* why do I go to school here....wait...because..I love it?

XD

*dies*

Please come quickly spring break :(

Hahahah, woke up and realized why I couldn't get on FA last night was because I typed wwww.furaffinity.net. ....over and over.....which just goes to show I really need to take a break and sleep for once D8. I kid you not, my eyes were very bloodshot yesterday evening, I'd been sleeping for about 4 hours a night for the past 2 days. But for good reason! Trying to finish some heads, but also, trying to stay on top of school. It's finals week before spring break, please bear with me folks, I'll still be working on suits, but my time will be severely limited to about 2 hours of work time a day this week.....I wish I could get more time (maybe I can find some else where) but this is Do or Die week and I really would much rather not waste 40,000 USD this year. :/ Gotta pass, gotta sleep, gotta sleep so I can pass (LOL). Normally I would come home from school at 12 am and then work til 4 am , but I simply have to sleep this week. Luckily everything has been carved/ finished and I just need to fur and detail now (the hardest and more time consuming things have been done). The last few commissions I will be sending off early March. :D YAY. Sending the last few of you emails today with some updated images, and OK's before I continue to the final stages.

Then I can post finished pictures and call it a day. I will not be re-opening once my que is finished. Sorry to those of you who have been waiting for me to re-open for commissions...but I will not be re-opening until I am finished with College. I might still sell pre-made heads (since I still need to make enough money a month for rent and food). But I simply do not want to take commissions again until i know I have the time to pay full attention to them. I underestimated this year (last year was much more manageable) and I know next year I will not be home, I'll be at school till 3 am everyday. So no more commissions :( Sorry.

To be honest, they is no guarantee I will ever re-open for commissions...but we'll see.

Thanks everyone :)

Hey everyone! Busy busy weekend, have TWO deadlines for school tomorrow D8 More Paypal funds finally transferred into my bank account yesterday (covered those nasty bank of America fees ;/ closing my account with them after this) so hoping to make a trip to the post office after Monday's 12:30 class. ;D I have a ride all set up too :) Thanks for being patient everyone :D

Oh! And WIP pics for you two in the WIP gallery, there's a link above this journal :)
Or you can click here:

Ok, it's back to the labs again for another loooong day :/ Trying to avoid all-nighters this week.

Hello everyone! First off, a huge thank you too all of you for the heartfelt messages. It really meant a lot to me. My friend is now laying to rest. :( Thank you all again.

Answered some more emails today, (sooo much spam ;() going to answer some more tomorrow. Shooting to have WIP pics up by Friday, just working hard atm to get a new story out for crit tomorrow since my last variation did not pass :/ After my crit tomorrow I'm going to have a moment to myself, seems like haven't had a chance to really mourn the loss of my friend, been way too busy trying to keep up with everything and getting suit work done :) whew.

Thank you all again so much. You're all so wonderful :)

Hey everyone something came, up, I will be back in 2 days, a close friend of the family (his family and mine have grown up together, so we're all very close)
has been murdered :(

Here's the article: http://www.news4jax.com/news/26778707/detail.html

I'm so blessed to have so many friends for support, I'm trying to make it to the funeral. Going to be trying to catch up on school work so I can.

Thank you all so much :(

Behind on a project and this weekend was crazy D8 4 birthdays!!! 4!!!! 2 on each day! Ugh. It was hard to get any work done :( One of the birthdays was my boyfriends :) Needless to say, lots of stuffing my face 80 JOY.

Ok! Serious stuff now.
Ugh, so....been avoiding this for awhile....but...can't avoid it anymore :/ Shipping of said items Friday didn't happen...I didn't have enough funds :( I wanted to pay the shipping myself as a thank you for the patience among the remaining few of you (including the coyote, daisy and pensive :) (((I'm STILL shooting to ship you myself))), but anime wolf and Resin nose+foam bases and an older head I added a wig to, that were supposed to be shipped Friday were effected by my insufficient funds :( Having a battle with Bank of America atm due to 3 over-drafts fees that they charged me, one of which was because I got an over-draft fee....>:0 wut. I'm closing my account with them once I get the fees paid off. >:( ^$#^$##!!! I am SO sick of dealing with them. Once I get it sorted I will be heading back asap to fed-ex. Might ask Esh if he can spot me enough to ship everything :) Shooting for Wednesday at this point, I just want to get everything out asap.

I'm currently working on the Coyote head, Pensive, Daisy, and little by little an auction head ((I'm SOOOoooo behind on rent :(.......siiiiiigh guess that's what I get for no longer taking commissions :D even though...that's how I pay for food and shelter....D8 living without an income is very hard....so I hope everyone understands if I take a little time to make this little guy for auction )
( http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattknoth/2998070371/) <

---

using the coyote resin base to make this (edit) Silver Fox. I have a gray tipped fur that I never used that will be perfect. (It's soooooo soft too) Maybe making it a ladder auction, hoping to make at least 600 + so I can pay my rent before I get kicked out :/ eeeeek.

Ok....end of serious stuff.

Now....
There's a swimming duck with a Mohawk outside my window.....
8)

Hey everyone, well, still trying to get fur I ordered awhile ago for poor Pensive :/ Going through emails again, (lots of quote requests and spam, sorry about that :P) trying to ship stuff friday, it's just really hard finding a ride to places these days :( sheesh.

Also, school is driving me nuts, had to start over TWICE now on a project, my story got rejected AGAIN and now I have to come up with 3 variations of the same story before Friday, drawn out, and animated :( (stiff pose animation, think, animatic)

AAAAHHHHHH

Will try and shoot some pictures up here soon, sorry about the wait, just trying to catch up with school -_- siiiigh. Suit work is a nice thing to do when I have the free time :) Just trying to get these last few suits out D8 Thanks for being so patient you guys, I promise it'll be worth the wait *<:0)

Now......gonna pull an all nighter for class :/

siiiigh.



ALSO, this made me happy :)

HEHEHE, cuuuute XD

(I made her head, paws and feet, she's done edits since then (very cute edits, such as adding a fur poof and MM Fox Rust to the ears (thought this vid has the original ear fur still) X3), I never posted her suit to my gallery D8 still have lots of suits that need posting...sorry about that :/ maybe when I'm not horrible busy I will sit down and post more stuff :D But in the mean time, dance Doompuppy! Dance :D!

Ok....So my last journal is still in my tabs LOL, sorry you guys! Argh, I didn't post it D8
Hope I didn't worry anyone to death :(! My last journal was a quick heads up that I'd be absent for a few days, tomorrow is my big Crit! I'm excited and really scared at the same time D8 I still have a TON of drawings to finish tonight and re-writes of my story, wish me luck everyone! Once I'm done there I should have enough time to ship stuff out, anime wolf and two foam bases and a nose (eek)
Need to get castin on Kyleawesome, the mold came out lovely :) I'm itching to cast this thing now that all the prep work is done! WOooo D8 Need to take pics of Pensive's foam work, still waiting on the fur I ordered/ payed rush shipping for.... -_-;

I'll be checking emails tomorrow. Sorry again about the lack of my last journal D8 I will make SURE this one gets posted ;D

Thanks everyone! :)

edit: Everything went great!!! My story will be going in three different directions and I have to have re-writes by tomorrow, but otherwise I did well :)
