Please note: the model is a lot smaller and shorter than the customer (and is wearing the suit with pillows inside to bulk it up) the head will be more proportioned on the customer and the limbs will look better on the customer (and not be all rumpled)
Neck vision head, antlers are removable, the ears wiggle, and the dewlap is weighted so it waggles (I used bird grit, which is a clean course sand, perfect for the job)
I tried to pay close attention to the variation in color in the coat and not have him turn out dark and flat looking. I did a lot of study of moose body, head and antler shape as I wanted this to be my best moose ever since it may be my only moose ever.
The fur is 100% furs found in the LA Fashion District with most hand selected by me and the variegated back/neck fur coming from a local fur who bought it in LA lol.
Feet hooves by DVC everything else is 100% hand crafted by me (including the antlers and wow did they ever prove to be more of an undertaking than I realized they would be)

I like making hoofed things and they have high chances at getting chosen when I open for commission.
I have also considered taking on a reindeer co-owned suit, as in I make it to fit the customer but then use it that December for local events in return for a discount on the price. (I very much want a reindeer suit of my own but lack the time, funds and space for yet another personal suit)

It was up to me on that one (but I did clear it with him) at first I was going to go dark-limbed because it was easier to do, but the more I studied moosies the more I liked the light-limbed ones and how the color balanced with the antlers

What fursuiter has not at least once pushed them selves to far in suit haha. I did a summer parade through seattle wa, in 80+ weather.....for nearly two hours in the sun. It was PAINFUL! And I suppose it would be fun being super unique! I will admit, I would love to see your suit in person some day! Maybe in the future! I have only ever seen one of beastcubs suits.
