Hello! Noticed a lot of people still watch this and comment! I don't currently post and this is older content that id love to redo one day! I currently dont really have the time to do videos but i appreciate those who can take something from these even if a bit outdated! Just remember all these videos are my own personal advice but my word isnt law! :p
As a fursuit maker, in one of my past experiences I had someone commission me and then be unhappy about their fursuit because they were looking at my previous wolf heads, and they ordered a fox, which commonly have longer and slimmer snouts than wolves. They were unhappy about this feature and demanded it be redone free of charge. If anyone plans on purchasing a suit, please don't demand a refund for a detail or two being slightly out of place, even though you paid for it, you need to be respectful!
I would have said “Man, it is really sad that some people don’t know the main and obvious features of a fox! Maybe you should go commission for a preschool teacher instead of for a fur suit maker! 😃”
As a fursuit maker in planning, I feel like I already know what people might say and yes it is annoying to be told "Can I have a free fursuit?" Or "Can you make my fursuit (extremely detailed) please?" I personally think this is hilarious as "Can I have a free fursuit?" Is a stupid thing to say as if we don't get money we don't make fursuits that's not what makes me laugh it's that they don't realize that without money it's impossible to make a fursuit! Also when someone says "Are you rich?" To a fursuit maker it's rude and an unnecessary question to ask but I will answer it for you so a fursuit maker doesn't have to, NO WE ARE NOT RICH even if we make fursuits for a high or low price we don't get that exact money we get ✨profit✨
all clear 'v' as a young fellow fur, I've always wanted to own a fursuit to even partials. Because we are here to have a lots of fun in the fandom, including me!!! But there are advantages and responsibilities to take to your own fursuit. How to take good care of it and clean it.
Another tip for younger furries still growing: if you REALLY want a suit, the best you can really do is paint a Dino mask buy some fur and make foam ears and fur them. Or buy like a cat ears headband and glue it for ears.
Im always afraid of commissioning a fursuit. Because id probably message once a week. So i decided to make the hand paws, feet paws head and tail, just the body suit is what i would struggle to make.
Hiya! I'm a first time buyer and am buying a full partial (with digigrade, knee high legs) They said I needed corresponding body measurements and I'm unsure what precise ones I need? They didn't specify. I getting a head, arm sleeves, paws, digigrade legs, and a tail.
Though how do you know when you stop growing? Like Hight or weight? if so I’m 15 and I’ve been 5’5 for the last 3 years and only grew like 1ft a year ago in feet does that mean I’ve stopped growing?
It really shouldn't have to be said but don't ask for/expect special treatment or exceptions from TOS. I had one person who kept hounding me about not wanting to provide a DTD. I explained to them multiple times, and on my TOS, that I *only* do full suits when a DTD is provided. Fursuit makers shouldn't have to bend to meet your criteria. If you want something specific like a full suit made from measurements, go to a maker who does that.
Hello! I'm a young furry and I really thank you for the advice to not buy a full body suit, I tought of this one day and now I realize that it's true one day you'll grow out of it. I know fursuits are expensive and that's why I only want to buy a heart part :) *and a tail *
I wish I had a mini partial plus I'm 13 and I really like furrys I just don't know how to tell my sister she hates furrys but my mom doesn't I just wait till I'm old enough to buy myself a fursuit
I disagree with don't #2 haggling in some cases as it can get you a better price. Now if the builder is not willing to haggle then drop it and look elsewhere for a cheaper fursuit builder. Now if the builder has published set prices then yes don't #2 fully applies. Now dont #2 applies to extablished builders and not people who are new and are trying to get some good suits out there to create a name for them selfs. Even a well known builder might consider a better deal if it's something they they want to build but no one asked for it to be built. If you want a fursuit but are willing to be limited in choices some builders do offer discounts on artistic freedom fursuits. You can ask any builder if they offer artistic freedom fursuits with a discount. You might have little to know say in colors as the builder has left over fur they would like to use up. Or you might have no say in the species as the builder has always wanted to make a spasific species but no one has ever commissioned that species of fursuit from them. Or even you might have no say in anything as they want to go crazy a d do something really different. It never hurts to ask any fursuit builder if they offer artistic freedom fursuits at a discount. But remember you are giving up any say to save money so don't go and complain that it's not what you wanted as it does not match your OC. I have a large number of fursuits as I look for really good bargains. A good number of them are pre-mades that happen to be of a stile that I happen to like and the price was to my liking. If you are really short on funds and are willing to look at pre-mades thedealersden and etsy are really good places to find really good bargains on fursuits. There are a number of fursuit builders who are in let's say cheaper countries to live in who build pre-mades that are for sale at low prices. Just be very careful of who you deal with as there are many scammers out there that are out to take you for everything they can.
I personally make suits, but no one really buys them lol, probably because my main source is Etsy and The Dealer's Den, where there are a lot of nicer suits being sold, and a lot of the audience in Etsy is children, who cant exactly afford a 600$ Fursuit head. But it's quite irritating having people request a quote, and then get angry that the price went up because they ordered a character with 5 colors, and they want 2 sets of handpaws, 3 tails of different lengths, and LED eyes. People really need to read descriptions if they are on a selling site :V

I love how "don't buy something you can't afford" is advice that actually needs to be given.
trading my soul would be easier and faster than getting the money for a fursuit and not ending up living under a bridge
I'm saving for one for 450 lol

Thank you! I bought my dream fursuit makers first ever suit and I’m now going to commission them next year!! Thank you :3
I’m a young furry who really wanted a full suit, however, after watching, I think I’ll do a mini partial :D
I just found your channel, and thank you for all the tips! I'm commissioning a suit right now, and I'm still 14 and it helped me alot!
Thankfully I’m a young furry that wants a mini partial. Thank you for making this very helpful videos!
This really helps! It sucks that you can’t post anymore, though. Your content is really good!
Aw man I wanna have a fursuit I’m a younger furry but I’m saving money-

This is kind of random but I appreciate the use of the correct terminology for "duck tape"
Im 100% getting a mini partial cause for me its easily affordable and still nice. Just need to find someone with a good mix of quality and price
Omg Tysm this was so helpful!! :D
Im always afraid of commissioning a fursuit. Because id probably message once a week. So i decided to make the hand paws, feet paws head and tail, just the body suit is what i would struggle to make.
Thank you now I know what to do if I'm gonna buy one thank you
Hiya! I'm a first time buyer and am buying a full partial (with digigrade, knee high legs)
They said I needed corresponding body measurements and I'm unsure what precise ones I need? They didn't specify.
I getting a head, arm sleeves, paws, digigrade legs, and a tail.
I really hope to save money for a fursuit when im older, Imma save a bunch starting from now cuase it would be rlly fun!
I’m planing to get a partial because it’s more cheap and it takes a shorter time to come
3:00 traditional is like drawing on paper?
Im wondering- could i just commision juat the foam head base?
Though how do you know when you stop growing? Like Hight or weight? if so I’m 15 and I’ve been 5’5 for the last 3 years and only grew like 1ft a year ago in feet does that mean I’ve stopped growing?
More or less depending on your gender and genetics people stop growing from 14-18
I doubt you’ll grow out of your fursuit if you get one
The Only Thing I Wont Have To Worry About Is Growth. Cause im staying short forever.
underrated omggggg

Now the hard part. Finding a maker for a moth (with round, compound eyes) Q Q
I wish I had a mini partial plus I'm 13 and I really like furrys I just don't know how to tell my sister she hates furrys but my mom doesn't I just wait till I'm old enough to buy myself a fursuit
Hi I'm a new sub also you sound like solar saber😁
Use a reference sheet
More money is spent?!
:passes out:
I just made me own seeing im still growing and I can’t afford it
The kid fursuit problem has easy fix you can buy your a kid adult partail if at least 8 it should work
Tbh this is what I did when I was younger, although it will look more unnatural and give you a bobble head sort of look xD
Does neonslushie commission fursuits
Some makers charge money for each hour making your fursuit
dont spam yo maker for progress, because if u ask em every darn minute they will spend more time responding to you instead of making the zamn suit 😭
1:48 wow I'm so lucky to just happen to stop growing right now🧐
Acht music :D
Thanks and remember b1 battle droid once’s said Roger Roger
