It's been a while, FA, BUT I'M BACK!

Expect LOTS of posts over the next month of both old and new content! I'm going to try and post everything I can that you've missed out on!

Hope you've all been well, and I'll be seeing you around! ;3

Hey everyone!

I’d like to take a moment to apologise to you all for the quietness from both myself and the page!

It has been a sort of series of unfortunate events with my health, being sick and just generally unhealthy. But that’s all passing now, so I can get back into gear and start producing stuff that makes you smile again!
This year we’ll hopefully be dealing at at least 3 conventions, Confurgence just past not included. There is also a bunch of new projects on the horizon! I’ll be making my first ever large plush, and hopefully a few pre made suits for sale too!

Thank you all for sticking around, and to those of you who came up to me at Confurgence and said hello <3

Keep an eye out for new things in the coming weeks!

Hi everyone!
I'm looking at setting up a Patreon in the next few months and I would LOVE to get your feed back on what I should have as my funding/reward tiers!

The way I'll set it up is so that every month you make a contribution!
There will be several tiers, and I might include goals with one time rewards for reaching a certain total every month.

These are the tier ideas I have so far (in AUD):

$5
A huge thank you for your support and:
- Access to photo and video WIPs
- Access to Patreon Only Telegram chat

$10
Access to all lower tiers and:
- 24 hour early access to commission slots

$20 – limit 10
Access to all lower tiers and:
- 24 hours first dibs on premade items
- I might answer some of your questions if I have spare time!

$50 – limit 30
Access to all lower tiers and:
- A bottle of Skunk Spray of your choice every month

$100 – limit 3
Access to all lower tiers and:
- a different prop every month

$150 – limit 3
Access to all lower tiers and:
- I will drop what I am doing and answer any and all of your questions to the best of my ability (EXCLUDING A HANDFULL OF SKUNKY SECRETS)!!

Please let me know what you think, whether I should remove tiers, add tiers, change prices.. Please feel free to give me some feed back on what YOU would like to see!

So I made a Trello forever ago but had issues getting it to work for me! I've finally sat down and spent the time to get it running smoothly!

What does this mean?

Now you can keep an eye on my queue and what I'm doing!
I'll update with pictures of finished items and it has check lists to let you know how far through commissions I am!

You can check it out here https://trello.com/b/IJtZwwGR/fursuit-commissions

Thanks all! <3

Hey all!

I'm going to be going through over the next week and fiddling around with my gallery!
I have no idea what I'm doing, so please bare with me <3

(If you have any hints or tips I would truly love them!)

I've spent a bit of time updating the website's price list and adding a terms of service page!

Let me know what you think?

It's wall-of-text update time!!

Confurgence and the crazy rush to get everything ready for it is over! It was lots fun seeing old friend, and making new ones! I had such a good time!

I had the privilege of being on the Fursuit MEGA Panel with SnapCat from ByCats4Cats.com, Vixen from White Chocolate and Raspberry, and Kai from Eastern Dragon Studios. I got lots of comments on how helpful the things that I said during the panel were, and I even learnt a lot too! I was even so taken aback by a personal compliment from SnapCat that I literally squealed! All in all it was such an amazing experience and I am just so thankful to everyone who attended, panellists and crowd alike!

Skunky Designs had the honour of putting a personalised prop and skunk spray scent into the charity auction which was won by the wonderful Kovu. He'll even get to have his own character as the mascot for the scent that he chooses to bring into our range! I hope he's as excited as I am!

It was so exciting to have so many people come up and talk to me as if I was a friend and not just a merchant, and everyone was so kind! It made the whole experience very pleasant, so thank you to everyone who came up and had a chat!

Now the new year's work can really begin! All fursuit slots have been filled until mid year with a variety of styles being made, and FurDU will be super fun to prepare for with a whole lot of Toon Town themed props like Dynamite (TNT) sticks!

I'd also like to take the chance to thank Zeke who has helped (and basically taken over) the silicone and resin side of Skunky Designs for the last month. I have no idea what I would have done without your help!

Thank you to everyone who has supported Skunky Designs though 2015 and I hope you all like what the new year brings and that you continue to watch as everything grows!!

OMG it's finally happened!

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for helping me reach this tiny, but very real milestone!

Confurgence is only a month away!

I have SO MUCH to do!

In the next few weeks expect to see a finished fox, lots of claws, noses, new props and much much more!

So many things are in the works, including the long awaited Skunky Designs' website! I can't wait for everything to all come together!!

I hope you're all excited to see it all!

Too lazy to clean the craft room enough for streaming, so I'm going to be skype chatting instead!
Add me by searching Skunky Designs :3

Things have been absolutely hectic!

In the last 6 weeks I've completed a certificate in micro business management! I've been so flat out I, sadly, haven't had any time to make anything at all!

So the next month is going to be even MORE hectic with catching up on commissions and creating stock for FurWag!

I'll also be re-uploading all of my stock with the new, fancy layout that the amazing  Adezu designed for me.. So sorry in advance for all of the spam!

There's only 1 day and 19 hours left to big on Khilo over on FurBuy! He's a gorgeous character who is an absolute steal, starting under $500 AUD!

Khilo the Wolf is up for sale!!

Details here! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16924849/

Hey everyone, just letting you all know I've updated my Terms of Service. You can find them under commissions!

Hooray! I've hit 500 pageviews and I cannot thank you all enough!

I'm looking forward to hitting 100 watchers, and the next milestone of 1000 views!!

Thanks again everyone!

Hey everybody!

I'm extremely sorry for the lul in uploads! I've moved not only my house.. But I also had to move my mother's house for her too!

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be buckling down and smashing out some props over the next week. I may even get started on the three fursuit heads I've got lined up!

I also have a craft meet coming up in a week with a bunch of fursuit makers from my local area. Expect lots of progress shots!

I'm so excited to get working in my brand new craft room. It's going to be so fun!

Streams are a real possibility, depending on how many people are interested :3

Hi everyone! Thank you all SO much for the overwhelming number of entries!

There were so so so many good names and it was SOOO hard to choose!
To honor some of the best names that were entered I'm hoping to create pre-made suits based entirely on them. I might already have one concept in the works... These suits will either be sold at cons or later on. I'll be sure to credit the name giver if they're still around!

Anyway.. onto business...

I'd like to announce that the winner of this competition is  rosie.valtieri with her entry of Khilo!

Thanks again everyone for entering! You're all awesome!

We now have a new TOS set up!
We ask that you give it a read before you order anything!
