To get a suit, get tons if money. By tons, I mean it could cost you thousands. It's cheaper to make one yourself but even then you can't guarantee it's of good quality. I personally think that the maker you want depends on your preferences and how much you are willing to pay.
I'm not sure about the art part, to be honest, sorry
I'm interested in kind of a realistic cartoony
A lot of makers are listed here
http://makersdatabase.tumblr.com/Also a general price guide;
Head only - $500-$1000
Light partial(head, hands, tail) - $700-$1300
Full partial(head, hands, tail, feet, armsleeves) - $900-$1600
Full plantigrade(no leg padding) - $1300-$2500
Full digitigrade(with leg padding) - $1800-$3000
Those are for intermediate and above makers, which is mostly whats on the site I linked. You take a risk going to beginners becaue they have little experience and you don't know how good the construction is. Also look at reviews of suit makers to make sure they're reputable. Suits may look good, but you never know whats inside. Just look at Itsprobablymars, they've sent out products(multiple times over the past year or two, with the most recent only being a month or two ago) with not only bad construction and holes, but reeking of smoke and containing black mold, live and dead cockroaches, and live and dead silverfish.
