Thank you. xD I'm kinda tired of people cranking out one suit or partial and thinking they're ready to charge a bunch for commissions. When I start, I'm going to make a few on my own, then maybe do a few at-cost commissions before even considering charging for labor.

That's a good way to be. If I ever- EVER- take a full commission for a fursuit, I'm going to make sure I have a lot of experience under my belt. Intelligent people (like yourself) will do the same!

No, it's just a mistake, either not caring, or not doing research to see what a profile view should kinda look like xD and I agree with teahound, i've seen some folks make one okayish head, then go "Imma do em for commissions, i'll do your head for 800$ even though i've only made one myself :D". I've made 3 heads myself, and while i'm not great, I like to think they don't suck xD I still wouldn't take commissions for them though, good lord lol. I'll stick with tails and paws and junk i've made countless of xD

PS - You made your black suit, yeah? If so, it's far from sub par xD I love that suit x3

also, i'm not trying to be rude to folks who've made only one or two heads, and just absolutely kick ass at it xD I've got a lot of respect for them, it's the folks who make one shoddy head and offer commissions i'm iffy over x_x

Myself, I think everyone should have some experience before they start selling their suits at full price. Even if your first few heads are great, your quality can only grow with practice. You should have knowledge under your belt before you start charging the big bucks no matter what, I believe. :3 That's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it!

hehe, I second that! I only recently started offering tails, even though i've been making them since middle school x3 Not sure if i'll ever feel good enough at heads to take commissions lol

The bad thing about heads is that they are expensive to make. Practices can be few and far between because you can't always afford the materials. 8C

I would feel confident selling stuffed tails now, and maybe foam-core tails later after I have a bit more experience. But tails are different, IMO, because they aren't as expensive, so you can sell them off a little earlier. Unlike an actual "fursuit" you aren't taking hundreds of dollars from someone. You should still be sure you're giving away quality though.

lol yeah x3 I used to carve heads, but learned using thin foam and building up was much cheaper xD I always raid the local joann's when there's a sale I can use on foam (50% off foam woooo!)

On Nigel I used thin foam, but in the future I plan to use a Balaclava technique. Of course I'm getting my next furhead from Syber but I do plan to build more in the future.

you're so right <3.
This is why i took careful time to go over Sally and lok up real references for hares for her face <3.

And you did an epic job on her! I was so proud of you xD she really did come out great and she is instantly recognizable as a HARE not a rabbit!

you're a honey doll baby awesome face <3.
