"What do I need to commission a fursuit ?"First you will need a reference sheet of your fursona. If you don't have one, you can commission me or another artist to make it, but it needs to be "fursuit friendly"
A "fursuit friendly" reference sheet is a reference sheet that has at least a front and back view of the design. It needs to be a 2D artwork, 3D renders and screenshots of 3D characters won't be accepted. The design must contain no gradient or glowing parts (as I don't work with LEDs) and very intricate details should be simplified so that it's adaptable as a fabric pattern.
For a fursuit head you'll need to make some head measurements.
For a body you'll need to make a duct tape dummy. Follow the instructions you're given strictly !"Do you make murrsuits ? 👀"Yes I do ! Don't be afraid to ask for it."Can I do a payment plan ?"Yes ! You can ask to pay in 2 or 3 times. You will have due dates for each deposit. The last one has to be made before shipping."So I want to commission a fursuit. How does it go ?"1. You come to me with a reference sheet of your design and your overall idea so that I can see if your projects fits my style and my skills
2. If it does, I make you a quote that you need to approve and sign.
3. You make a deposit of 10% of the price of your project and you are added to the waiting list.
4. Once your turn comes, you pay the rest of the amount (or part of it if you chose a payment plan).
5. You order the materials for me and I start building the suit giving you regular updates.
6. Once the suit is done, you give me your informations and pay for the shipping costs (+ the last payment if you chose a payment plan) and I'll send it over to you."How does the waiting list work ?"I can take multiple orders at the same time but I build fursuits once at a time so there is a waiting list. When you ask for a quote, we discuss what you want and I give you a quote with the total price and conditions. Then you can either retract or agree to the contract in which case you sign the quote and make a deposit of 10% of the price and you are added to the list. Once you are on top of the list, it's time to pay and ! Once that's done I'll start working on your fursuit."Why do I need to make a deposit to be in the waitlist ?"I've had clients in the past with whom ive spent a lot of time discussing about their project only for them to completely disappear once their turn came. This was a waste of time for me and it completely messed my schedule up so I don't wanna risk it again. The deposit, then, serves as a proof of engagement !"Why do I have to buy the fabrics myself ?"Fabrics, although they aren't the only material in a fursuit, are the most expensive ones. If you order it directly, it's less expensive for you in the end because I don't have to compensate for the taxes that I would pay for if it was included in the total price."Do I get to keep the leftover fur"Absolutely ! If there is significant leftovers, you may ask for it to be send along with the suit. However, it may increase the shipping price as it makes the package bigger and heavier."Can my order be delivered by hand ?"Yes ! If you live near Paris, plan on coming to Paris or if we go to the same convention soon after your fursuit is done, we can meet and I will hand you your order directly. (It saves a lot on shipping and it's way more reliable)"I'm scared the package will get lost or damaged during the shipping..."Don't worry ! There are many ways I make sure the package is secure. First your commissions is carefully packed so that it's protected from water, shocks or anything that may cause damage to your commission. I also make sure to chose a shipping option that includes tracking and I add a GPS tracker inside the box so that you always know where it is exactly. Finally, you can ask for an insurance on the package in case it still gets damaged or lost.
