ABOUT

I'm a 22 year old fursuit maker and cosplayer based in Florida! My mascot/fursona is Will Coney the malware hare!I started creating cosplays in June 2022. Shortly after I made my first ever fursuit head and have enjoyed creating them ever since!I've dabbled around with wearable costume masks, props, plush, and other small things like pins but I enjoy creating fursuits the most :)Thanks so much for checking out my work! Art socials + portfolio below :)

GENERAL INFORMATION!

You will need an unshaded full-color reference sheet of your character before commissioning me! Front and back are required.
• Once a commission is taken, we will discuss fur colors for your character and lock down a final palette and materials.
• I make sketches of your character in my style! It will be a front and side view primarily used to construct the head.
• For payment plans, I do not begin until a commission is fully paid.
Refurbishing of my own old work I will do at a discount, and I am open to refurbishing work by others! I currently do not feel comfortable doing furring commissions on premade bases.


BASE PRICING

Please make a copy of and use the above estimate sheet to calculate an estimated starting price for your fursuit quote and/or commission! This should give you a decent benchmark of what to expect as starting price (pattern complexity is not accounted for in that form, and colors I already have in stock will just be omitted from your commission if I don't need to order more!)All information you'll need is available in that sheet for you, including price breakdowns on the second page.If you're interested afterward, you can submit a quote form!


WHAT'S WHAT? (TERMINOLOGY)

Above are examples of terms you'll see used for fursuit commissions, feetpaw types, and tail sizes!+ Digitigrade fursuits are those with padding at the knees and calf that give the illusion of an animal's leg. This looks natural for animals that walk on their toes! (ex. felines, canines, birds)
- It is also important to note that digitigrade bodysuits and feet are heavier and hotter than their plantigrade counterparts!
+ Plantigrade fursuits are straight legged, much like humans. These would look natural for animals that walk using their heels! (ex. rabbits, bears, marsupials, reptiles)
- Plantigrade fursuits with small amounts of accessory padding are possible, but would be classed as a digitigrade commission!


IMPORTANT EXTRAS!

Commissioning a bodysuit of any kind will REQUIRE creating a duct tape dummy (DTD)! A video of how to make one is below. I will not send an invoice until all materials and/or DTD is sent to me first.Zippers for removing digitigrade stuffing is included and the pockets for padding are sewn into the bodysuit, and not removable.

IN-STOCK / CLEARANCE DISCOUNT

LIKELY RETIRING THIS SECTION OR HEAVILY REVISITING!

This is a cheaper fursuit option where ONLY furs I have IN-STOCK will be used for your project! This eliminates extra fur color fees entirely and your commission may even be started sooner. (As always, please check my queue first!)• No design fee for an artistic liberty design with this type of commission.
+ Any custom design I create BEFORE a commission is fully paid is mine and mine alone. It may even be used for a future pre-made fursuit for sale.
• Design complexity fees still apply (spots, stripes, horns, hair, large ears, asymmetrical markings, etc.)• Colors for an artistic liberty design must be provided by the commissioner. A swatch lineup will be provided and can be confirmed.
+ Color list is not required for a design provided by the commissioner, but very helpful.

NON-FURSUIT WORK



FURSUIT CARE

Looking to clean your fursuit or need some nifty advice? You've come to a decent place!

Strongly recommended:

  • Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner.

  • Detergents that are bleach-free, brightener-free, etc.

  • Plenty of fans.

  • Laundry/washing machine bags.

  • Stain remover if needed (non-brightener and non-bleach)

Perfectly suitable:

  • Handwashing or spot cleaning all parts.

  • Detergent that contains sulfates (personal sensitivity).

  • Fabric softener (personal preference, if your fur is looking scruffy)

  • Hair dryer (cold/cool ONLY)

DO NOT:

  • NEVER use heat, hot water, ironing, etc. It can permanently damage and ruin your suit.

  • Detergents that contain bleach or brighteners. Never use these.

  • I do not recommend throwing larger fursuit parts like feet or heads in the washing machine.

Handpaws: Can be washed in the washing machine as normal. Recommend using a laundry bag.Heads, feet and tails without zippers: I recommend spot cleaning and handwashing! This can be done with a Little Green, or in a bathtub with some detergent water. My fursuit heads have sealed eyes and eye mesh however I would recommend protecting them by stuffing them with paper towels anyway.Bodysuits and tails with zippers: Remove all stuffing and wash in the washing machine with each part flipped inside out. Rezip your bodysuit when it is inside out for washing. Laundry bag is not required but very nice to have for extra protection from the zippers!ALL FURSUIT PARTS SHOULD BE BRUSHED GENTLY RIGHT-SIDES OUT AS THEY DRY! It may take some time before they are fully dry and able to wear or store, so I recommend plenty of fans!Water will make your fursuit parts very heavy. Do not hang up a fullsuit or other parts for long periods of time, as the fabric will stretch and warp. This is why I recommend a fan or multiple.

ADDITIONAL

These are things I generally recommend and should be useful to you!

  • Use a slicker brush with metal teeth and plastic balls covering each tooth of the brush. This will be best for not pulling fur out when giving your fursuit a brush. This is important to do for high friction parts to prevent matting, as well as keeping things looking nice.

  • Always wear protective clothing when fursuiting, even if your fursuit is lined in places. A lycra balaclava and full body athletic wear are recommended.

  • Fursuit spray! (a solution of 1:1 water and 70% isopropyl alcohol) Essential oils of your choice for smell, but not required (do your research as to what can damage faux fur!)

  • A personal fursuit fan may help keep you cool; these typically come with a lanyard that hangs around your neck!

SHIPPING + INSURANCE

Shipping and insurance will be covered by the buyer/commissioner. Shipping options will be given after the suit has been completed and packed up. Typically USPS or UPS.I will ship internationally, but shipping must be covered by the client (it may be high) and I am not responsible for customs fees. Let me know early on if your suit will be shipped internationally (I personally don't recommend this.) - Insurance is also more complicated for international shipments over $3,500 USD.All shipped costume parts will require a signature for delivery. If this delivery is missed, go to your local delivery center with ID to recieve your package.• The price of the shipping itself is not insured and non-refundable.• Boxes I use are typically unmarked with furry contents/illustrations, either moving boxes or repurposed boxes from other packages. Generally discreet.• Fursuit heads I make typically do not require any additional padding besides other parts already included with the suit; don't be worried if you don't see many packaging materials included.• All fursuit items are shipped in a tied bag to protect from water.• A swatch card of all furs used will be included with the fursuit.• Eyelids or any extra small parts will be included in a plastic baggie typically put into the head.• I am not liable for any damaged packaging or shipping delays. If something arrives damaged, I'd be happy to fix it but I cannot do it for free (see Warranty and Repair section).


WARRANTY AND REPAIR

• If there is anything wrong with your commission out of the box, please let me know. I'd love to fix it for you.• The client must pay to ship a suit to me, and I will pay to ship the suit back to them.• I am not responsible for any damage done to a fursuit from client wear.• I am not responsible for parts that were improperly measured by the client.• I offer a 6 month warranty to have a suit repaired if there is any faulty craftmanship on my part. Normal wear and tear is not covered by my warranty.
