Just Another Artist™
I'm in the market for a fursuit maker for a partial commission (head and tail, no paws), but have a few specific things I'm looking for. I have a budget range of $500 - 700, but if payment plans are an option, I can afford a bit more, up to $900.
REF 1 • REF 2 • REF 3 • REF 4 (Old Trad) • PHOTO REF
My fursona is a white-tailed mongoose. His colors are natural, earthen, and consist of two calm brown tones, white, and black. He does have some artistic liberties taken in his design, but none that stray too far from what could exist in real life. I have several drawings that can be used as reference, but no official big-boy reference sheet; just fullbody art by yours-truly detailing him in various poses and expressions. I am working on a ref sheet for him, but with my current job, it's hard to find time. I also have a few photographs of IRL white-tailed mongooses that can be used as reference for fur length, color, etc.
I would like the weight of the head to be as light as realistically possible, as my neck is not the sturdiest. I totally expect there to be some weight, but I know there are techniques out there to make heads that aren't too unweildy. I will more than likely be wearing this outdoors in the cold, so I'm not too concerned with fitting a fan in there and am more interested in good airflow. I would like a moveable jaw, but I can live without it. As far as realism, it doesn't have to look like the literal head of an IRL giant mongoose or anything, but I would at least like the nose and teeth to be solid, rather than fabric.
If you know of any fursuiters who make heads like these and are open for commission, please let me know so I can get in touch with them. If you yourself are a fursuiter who would like to take this as a commission, please offer your contact information and gallery so I can take a look. Thank you! <3
