Ok, I've got to know... how much?

I was thinking something around $100. That's a smidge more than my tails usually go for, but this did take quite a bit longer than tails usually do.

Wow, they go for that much!? O.o
*looks at his collection and wonders why he's holding a job with crappy pay and hours*

Depends on who makes them, how they're made, and who's buying. Most of my tails sell around $35. But airbrushing takes a lot of time, and my time is worth money, so I don't sell things that take time cheaply.

Ah, fair enough. Yeah, that's about what I usually let mine go for... Still, $100 isn't bad, that tail is gorgeous. Too bad I just dropped $250 on a tattoo, $350 on a wheel-bearing, and paid rent >.<

Wow, brilliant work! :X)

0o0o0o0o0oH!!!! very nice!!!! me likey!!! a lot!!

can i ask how you made it? i'm making my first fursuit of my character, Mochi, and she has a huge floofy tail like that.

as you can see here;

any tip or advice you may have will help me a lot, but if you don't want to reveal your secrets, i respect that too. :)

Nah, I don't believe in trade secrets. It's made from Montery Mills white fox fur, which is super fluffy. And lucky for you, MM makes a color of that stuff called "palomino" that's almost the color of your tail, I think. You can get it from www.crscrafts.com where they have fake fur under the bear supplies section, thepalominio is a "fox fur" so it'll be in that area.

I can show you the pattern I use for tails too, you probably don't want a straight tail like this one, but there are some curved patterns too.

wow! thank you so much. yes, i'd appreciate it if you showed me the pattern. :)

Well, the basic canine type pattern I use for tails is based off this one here: http://80scartoons.net/fursuitforum.....opic.php?t=105

Though I also do one that's got the "S" shape in it, looks like this: http://bladespark.topcities.com/cos...../lgfoxtail.jpg

That one is basically two pieces shaped like the final result, just sewn together. If that makes sense.

actually it helps a lot!!! thank you so much! i really appreciate it! *hugs*

haha i too would like some tips on how u made that, but if thats an issue to tell ur secrets, then no worries ^^

it looks absolutly great xD!! im experimenting with making more fluffy wolf tails, i want something similar to my Fursona's, Arctic, but i still like advice when i can get it :3

Tail making isn't hard. This one is just basically a tube of fabric. The tail itself is simple, it's the airbrushing that took work to do!

haha great, and u did a wonderful job with the airbrushing ^^

Yay for floofy ^.^ You said you used a particular pigment?? What exactly did you use, because I'll be making my friend a tiger fullsuit soon, and I was just going to use paint to airbrush, but it would be great to have soft stripes :D

I used Tandy leather dye. This stuff: http://www.tandyleather.com/products.asp?dept=173

It's a bit of a pain to work with, because if you spill it on anything, well... it's dye! You've just recolored your carpet, hooray! It's alcohol based, so you can clean it off of things with alcohol or acetone, but it won't wash off with water at all. And it has fumes like woah. But it sticks to fake fur better than most paints, and is thin to start with, you don't even have to thin it down to use it, so you get nice strong colors without matting the fur.

Thank you sooo much!!! This stuff is going to help me alot ^.^ I currently have a stripeless tiger sitting on my bed, I need to do his stripes XD thank you again, and that tail is just too beautiful!!

that is so cool if it has not sold I know a friend who would love that tail.

Well, I seem to have found a buyer for this one. I could probably make another one though.

If you could that would be great. Just let me know

I definitely could. So shall we deal? How much would you pay to commission this? I was thinking $100. I take paypal, check, or money order. I'd love to make you a tail, but I don't want to go through the effort of making another one unless I'm sure I have a buyer, so I'd like to get payment,or at least a partial downpayment before hand.

Deal :) I sent you an e-mail from your info page (hotmail).

The tail is so, so gorgeous!

Thanks!

I like your tail .

I literally made a "D:" face at this photo because that tail is BEAUTIFUL. Makes me wish I could airbrush and whatnot so I could have my own tail XD darn.

snow leopards have the cuddliest tails!!

Id so want that tail O.O *Stares*

Well, I do take commissions. :) Though the airbrushed tails are expensive.

depends if you ship to austria/Vienna and if I can pay per bank transfer ^^´´
and how much do tails cost? id love to have a nice long one, which can swing to my movements ^^

It depends on what kind of tail you want. One just like this is $100. And I do ship to Austria. As for bank transfer, maybe. I haven't done one before.

would be interesting to have one. and yes. just like this one ^^
hm. 100 Dollar? is it with shipping?
cause it would be neat!

Shipping is $25 more, so $125 total.

ok. I have to think about it ^^´´ gotta save up.
just for asking. how long do you normaly take for a tail?? (cause then Id buy it in march, so its working for eurofurence) ^^

It's 1-2 months depending on how busy I am.

ok. then ill calculate and save up. will note you as soon as I got the money and can commish ^^ thank you for the info!

No prob!

keep up the great work ^^

This is a lovely tail. I am planning on getting a snow meow tail eventually so I will keep you in mind. ^_^ Mind... purple snow leopard tail may be a fun challenge. ;)

Purple would be fun to do. :)
