Solved.


I know you said this is solved but I wanna make sure you know this for future reference:

NEVER BLOW DRY FAUX FUR

It's made of acrylic and it will melt. There will be irreversible heat damage if you blow dry your fur on a warm setting.

Here's a picture of a bodysuit with head damage. The head fur is fine (but could use a brush). As you can see the body fur is completely matted. Never use heat.

Honestly, if you don't have the experience and you don't know what to price it, you shouldn't be doing a commission. Make them as premades and get the experience first.

i wouldn't say to never blow dry faux fur
yes, excessive heat will cause the fibers to melt but some care instructions say that blow drying is okay in small amounts
of course before i started blow drying any fur, i'd test it on a scrap :V

I have not been active lately, but I'm working on a head, and need advice. (Ears are just there for reference.)

I do not have a fursuit yet as I amtrying to find a decent fur suit maker who would not mind to make my fursuit someone turned me down because my character was plain and basic and boring :( I also love to have someone to help me to make a badge and stuff.

all these fursuits looks really great :) Keep up the good work

I would never turn people down for that, that's normally just something they charge less for. Was it a professional maker or some one that was busy or what?

They claimed they were a professional maker, they had slots opened for commsion. They just said it was too boring for them to do they rather make something more fun.
