Just saying one time someone offered us 30k for a suit and it was basically going to change our lives and help us eliminate our queue and make huge life improvements. But then it was fake so Anyways what Iโ€™m saying is we should all be happy when makers get real offers like that

Sometimes being a fursuit maker is so frustrating. I feel like we have to justify better treatment constantly, whether itโ€™s a personal decision to raise prices or if we have genuine concerns about consโ€ฆ this is a rough job man, from all angles

Every time an auction like this happens I gotta sigh. like 25% of that is immediately going to taxes to begin withโ€ฆ There are SO many makers that still charge 4K or less, you donโ€™t need a suit by a โ€œhousehold nameโ€ maker. Why insult artists for their success??

I donโ€™t think I showed it off yet but here is my big ol bang dream tattoo. With so much going on, it took over a year to do ๐Ÿ˜ฉ pics are from my artist, nembone on instagram. The big circle logo was already there so he worked with it. Half-fictional girl band, Hello Happy World!

Everyone wants to support us until weโ€™ve become โ€œtooโ€ successful in their personal opinion. After that weโ€™re suddenly only in it for the money??? This job is so demanding and demoralizing itโ€™s a wonder some of us have even lasted 10 years to begin with

Lately I am very thankful for having such good clients. I know it can be difficult for some makers, I feel very lucky. Iโ€™m also endlessly thankful to the fellow makers who have supported me and lifted our work up. The confidence I gained from them has really helpedโ€ฆ

@FurFest I think there is a big misunderstanding about fursuit making hereโ€ฆ many aspects of making require loud machinery, safety equipment, ventilation, access to equipment that is unreasonable to bring to a con spaceโ€ฆ itโ€™s more than quietly gluing and sewing!

I feel like itโ€™s only a matter of time before someone submits an A/I generated image of a fursuit to me as a reference. Really discouraging to think about, I donโ€™t want to mimic an A/I or have my work be compared to a generated image. Trust artist vision or donโ€™t ):

So I can get my โ€œtubes tiedโ€ here in Canada for free. Iโ€™ve though about doing it for a long time. Anyone here gone through it? Iโ€™m mostly wondering about the recovery time and such. As much as Iโ€™d love to I donโ€™t think I can just get it all removed ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Everyone is burnt out it seems. I have been too, for a long long time. Past lower pricing means more work needs to be done to keep up with life and thatโ€™s just how it is. Combine that with high cost of living area and itโ€™s inevitable. Trying now to catch up on that old queueโ€ฆ

Is there any interest in a completed foam base with eyes, ready to fur? Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™ll have the motivation to finish it but I was working on a dragon premade

Tbh I am most excited for my next panel submission to ANW, which will be all about Chinese fursuit makers (the legitimate ones!) with a local Chinese maker based right here in the PNW ( @Canis_Major_C ) I want to give those makers as much exposure as possible ๐Ÿ™

If you know anyone thinking about buying a suit from them, PLEASE help them reconsider. This is just one terrible thing on a long list of reasons they should be avoided. Itโ€™s very tempting because they are an affordable way into kemono butโ€ฆ
