I am once again open for price quotes on costumes, costume parts, costume designs, props, and faux taxidermy mounts. If you would like a quote on anything, just send me an email at Qarrezel (at) gmail.com

For some tips on asking for quotes, read this journal entry: http://qarrezel.livejournal.com/12451.html


This is just for price quotes, not commissions. I'll be opening for commissions again on January 3rd.

For the first time ever, I am closing new quote requests until December 5th!
I will answer all quote requests that I received today or previously, but I will not be answering any more until the 5th of December.

I've started receiving a high enough volume of people asking for quotes that it's starting to take me hours per day to answer them, and even still I have almost a week long backlog. By all means, the increased volume of emails is a great thing, and I thank all of you for your interest! However, I really need to get some work done.

Currently I am still way, way behind on the quote requests that have recently come in. I promise I will answer all of them.

If you're going to FurFright this weekend, keep an eye out for us! We'll be wearing the Grey Witch and Iron Beast costumes.
(We don't have a dealer's table; we'll just be out and about around the convention).

In other important and related news, we have been incredibly busy this week getting ready for this convention, and I have not been able to answer any emails for several days. And since we're leaving for this convention basically right now, I won't be getting to any of them until Monday or Tuesday when we get back (and even then it may take me a couple days to work through the pile). If you have sent me an email this week and haven't heard back, I will get back to you as soon as I can! I'm sorry about the wait time.

I've started collecting videos of my costumes doing things, out and about. I think I've located a decent enough number of them now to make a post with links to them.

If you have or know of any more videos that you would like me to post here, please link them!
One day I will actually overhaul my website, and when I do, it will have a section for customer videos and photos.

These are all links to youtube videos.

Hopefully I'll have more soon!

If you are one of the fairly large handful of people who are interested in getting on this upcoming queue, READ THIS!

I am moving the queue opening date to OCTOBER 5TH
The queue will NOT open on the 22nd, it will open OCTOBER 5TH.

We have a time/scheduling problem, so I'm having to push our honeymoon back yet again, and thus the queue opening date has to move again, too.

If you are looking to get on the queue, make sure you are keeping an eye on my studio journal (http://qarrezel.livejournal.com) just in case any other craziness happens. I'm afraid things are insane and a bit up-in-the-air right now.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I'll try to get back to you ASAP.

Desperate times call for desperate measures - I will not be answering any emails or messages this week. I will not be online anywhere at all, in fact. I am going down to my studio, and I am not coming out until the end of the week, or until everything is finished, whatever might come first.

I will be back, hopefully no later than the 4th of September, and I will reply to all messages at that time.

A quick announcement - I'll be opening the next queue on September 22nd. Completion dates for the batch will be in late November. For more information, click here: http://qarrezel.livejournal.com/12451.html

If you would like a quote on anything please send me an email - now is a good time to ask!

My email address is Qarrezel[at]gmail.com

We've returned!
AC was a great time, although it was absolutely an endurance test. We had stayed up incredibly late the night before (and had really just worked ourselves silly the whole week before), so we were exhausted even when we arrived. A con is a tiring thing to begin with, so by Sunday I think I was getting a bit loopy.
Luckily we avoided the crud, and generally had a great time.
Also, one of the three costumes which we put in the art show won the popular choice award! I am so honored, I am pretty much speechless.

I took a ton of photos, which I am still working on loading onto my computer. Also, I am of course rather behind on my emails now, so please pardon me while I get to those.

I’m heading off to Anthrocon this weekend with LaughingScarab and a pile of costumes. Three of those costumes (head, gloves and tail sets) will be for sale in the art show, so if you’re going, be sure to check them out!

Feel free to track us down and say hi! I’ll be dressed alternately as some sort of cat-looking thing with horns, and Saffron; LaughingScarab will be dressed as a hairy, toothy thing with horns.

And, of course, we’re still putting finishing touches on all of these. I’ll post some photos before we go, but it will probably be very close to the convention (like, Thursday morning). Gaaahh, no time!

Quick note – I’ll be happy to talk about costumes, but not so much about business. I’ll be on vacation, after all.

So, today was the queue opening day, and with blazing speed, the queue has filled.

I will probably be opening again in late August. In the meantime, I'm still open for quotes, so feel free to ask anytime (email preferred)

For more information, please see the studio journal: http://qarrezel.livejournal.com/

FAQ! - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/718784/

I will be opening the next queue on May 20th!

Completion dates will be roundabout July 1st. This is a much shorter than normal queue, so I won't be taking as much work as this past queue. There are already a few people poised to pounce, so once again, this is probably going to fill fast.
Never fear! I have plan to open the following queue roundabout the 10th of July, so once again, not that long to wait if you don't get on this time around.

For more information, please see the studio journal: http://qarrezel.livejournal.com/

FAQ! - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/718784/

I feel like I've been answering a lot of the same questions lately, so I decided that it was about time I put together an FAQ. I put together a few, actually, sorted by topic, so as to cut down on the length of the whole thing.


Here they are:

FAQ regarding my costumes: http://www.clockworkcreature.com/FA.....ycostumes.html

FAQ regarding my commissions: http://www.clockworkcreature.com/FA.....mmissions.html

FAQ regarding myself: http://www.clockworkcreature.com/FAQme.html

FAQ regarding costumes in general: http://www.clockworkcreature.com/FA.....alcostume.html


If you have any questions that I've left unanswered, feel free to ask, and I may add the question to the one of the FAQs.

Well, I've closed as many security loopholes as I could find, and my website is now back up and running! I'm taking this opportunity to do a little spring cleaning to it as well, so I'll be making some gallery updates this week.

Thanks once again to everyone who helped, and if anyone sees anything else, drop me an email. I'll also be much more on the lookout for crazy goings-on from this point forward.

I received an email from a very kind person this morning, warning me that my website (clockworkcreature.com) has suddenly been labeled an "attack site". Looking into the guts of the matter, I have found that my website was most certainly and definitely hacked! If you visited my site between March 23rd and March 28th Please check your computer for malware!

I am working to correct the problem. For now, I have taken down my website and its affected areas, and I will be putting it back up when I’m sure that everything is secure. I’ll be sure to post an update when everything is back up-and-running.


I’m not sure if the person who did this has any further plans, but if anyone notices any suspicious activity (including anything suspicious or out of character done under my name) please let me know right away!

Also, though this is rather unlikely, if anyone has any information about someone who may have been expressing ill feelings about me recently, do let me know.


Thanks everyone who has helped and who may be able to help, and I’m very sorry if this situation has caused anyone any harm or inconvenience!



(The creepy DA note issue has been resolved, so I've edited that out of the post)


X-posted various places

Alright, that's everything I'll be uploading for now - new stuff is coming as fast as I can work!


Feel free to ask me about quotes, ask questions, or just say Hi, although once again I must warn you that if you want to get in touch with me RELIABLY, please email me at Qarrezel (at) gmail (dot) com.

I may not always have time to keep up with FA messages, so please email me if you want me to respond in a reasonable period of time.

So I finally went ahead and got an FA account. I'm still working on uploading everything here - it may take me a couple days, and I apologize in advance to anyone watching me already, as I'll be more or less spamming your inboxes while I get my gallery uploaded.

If you have any questions or just want to say hi, feel free to get in touch with me! I will warn you, however, that I probably won't check FA messages very often at all -
