Made a couple avatars of Arrow X3
SSSQQQEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR MEGAPLEX!!!

[soreii]

I was going to make a random little dog tail recently, but my sewing machine is broken, which is sadness ;-;
After some time, I might get a head for my new OC Jet, he wears a bowtie, so he is awesome.

[~Rush Furry~]

He seems really cool!
Luka will be commissioned in 2015-16 when I get enough money!

[soreii]

Yeeeh, I can probably just use Kei's hands and feet, although they aren't exactly the same.
Jet's fingers and toes are black so that's the only downside to that.

Do you think we can see a drawing or ref of Luka?

Hey guys! Guess what!
I finally got my fursona design finished!

I'm going to order a fursuit head and feet paws from one maker, a tail from another, and make the arm sleeves and paw pads myself. The tail is only 30 dollars, the sleeves shouldn't be over 20, and the head and paws will cost around 350. Hopefully... I'm thinking of asking my dad for some help.
I'm so excited!
What do you all think of her design? Also, if anyone can point me to cheap, but good toony fursuit makers, send me a link! I want to go to Fur The More this year.

The designs look great! Are you commissioning or making it your self...?

I bought my fursuit for a pretty reasonable price Here, so I bet you could get the head and paws here as well! ^^

[Shiko Hayashi]

Just the hand paws. I don't think I can make a head by myself. The feet paws aren't too hard to do, but I don't really have the time to make those AND the arm sleeves.
So I am going to commission for the head, feet paws and the tail.
Bu I am going to make the arm sleeves and hand paws myself.

If I end up low on money, I'll just resort to making the feet paws myself. I have some old, but nice shoes that could work.

EDIT

Checked out Furchandise. Their suits seem pretty decent, and the prices are nice. I especially like the fullsuit and partial suit prices. For a head, I'm look for 3d follow-me eyes, a movable jaw (preferably but optional) and overall well and carefully made. Same for the feetpaws. I want them to last long, and I tend to do some parkour stuff.
As for the tail, I've ordered from these folks before, and so far it's served me amazingly well. So I'm not worried about that.

When I make the arm sleeves and hand paws, hot glue is going to be my best friend. I'll probably need to buy an airbrush because I want those designs to look nice. And the fur I use doesn't take well to paint.

I'm thinking of starting art commissions. You know, references and such. So I can make money for my fursuit. What do you guys think?

I think that would make a beautiful fursuit, I love the design <3
I usually keep simple designs because a lot of makers will charge for complexity.
