FAQ

Quote openings and commission openings will be announced on my social medias. If you want to ensure you never miss an announcement, consider subscribing to my email list!

I do not take rush commissions or hard deadlines. It is very important to me to provide my clients with the best quality I can offer, and therefore I will not rush my work. If there is a certain time you need your costume by, please discuss it with me beforehand so we can determine if the time frame is realistic. I will provide a general estimated time of completion when your commission is started.

My head bases are hand carved from upholstery foam. I use faux fur (mostly teddy or luxury shag), never real fur. The paw pads and claws are minky. For the inner liner I use quilted broadcloth for the face, lycra for the neck, and fleece for the eyes/mouth. 

All my faux fur is purchased from Howl Fabric. I include a swatch pack with the furs used for completed projects. Eye blanks are 3d printed by me, and eye mesh is designed by me but printed by Arcane Sorcery. 

I use the slim five-finger handpaw pattern by Skunkydesigns and the four-finger handpaw pattern by BiteMeFursuits. All other patterns are made by me.

I do not accept payment plans for commissions at this time. I keep a short queue of only 2-4 projects to maintain a fast turnaround time, and upfront payment ensures I can get to work on them right away. Sometimes payment plans are offered on premades, and this will be specified in the sale post. If I choose to expand my queue I may accept short payment plans in the future.

I do not take commissions for only small parts like paws or tails. 

Existing clients can upgrade their head/partial into a fullsuit by applying during any commission opening, and they will be prioritized when determining commission slots. Be aware that fur runs can vary in color and texture and sometimes colors are discontinued, which can cause issues with matching to the existing parts. If you would like a full suit it is best to get it all made at once to avoid this issue.

I only build off my own hand carved head bases and I buy my materials new. However if you want a specific fur/material used in your commission, please let me know!

I take commissions in small batches and they will be started in the order materials are received. All commissions in the batch will be completed or close to completion before the next opening. A batch is generally completed within 6 months, and any delays or changes to this time frame will be communicated with the client.

Thanks to the internal forehead padding in my costumes, premades generally accommodate glasses. With commissions I offer the option of an additional removable forehead pad for extra space just to be safe!

Yes! The mesh has excellent visibility, and large eyes provide great peripheral vision with only a small blind spot in the middle.

The wearer’s nose and mouth sit in the costume’s mouth opening which gives great ventilation, and there is some additional airflow through the eye mesh. The back of the head is foamless to hold in less heat. Head fans in the ears or mouth can be added for an additional cost.
