Big changes are coming
Don’t worry — I’m not quitting fursuit making! 💜 But there are some changes on the way.
As some of you may have noticed, I haven’t been posting as much lately, and I also haven’t been taking on new commissions.
Since I started joining conventions as a vendor (FACTS and HDCC), I’ve found it really hard to balance everything. Preparing for conventions takes a lot of time, and on top of that I’ve always been booked with commissions more than a year in advance. The problem is: I love doing all of it, but there just isn’t enough time to do everything properly. Especially when combining it with my job in disability care, my social life, and ofcourse planning our wedding. On top of that, there are also some medical things going on. Altogether, it’s been taking a toll on my health, and I realized I need to make some changes.
Here’s a little summary of what’s going to change. Don’t worry — if you already have a commission with me, nothing changes for you. I’ll finish all current commissions before the new system starts.
What will stay the same:
• I’ll keep attending conventions as a vendor! For now, that means the autumn edition of FACTS, and the summer and winter editions of HDCC.
• Smaller commissions like tails, handpaws, and feetpaws will still be available. You can always message me about them, and I’ll let you know if I have time.
The old way:
• You could fill out the quote form on my website, and I pretty much accepted almost every commission.
• Long waiting times, sometimes over a year.
• 30% non-refundable deposit and the option for long payment plans.
The new way:
• I’ll open for commissions a few times a year. I’m not sure yet how often, but I’ll always announce it online in advance.
• During those openings, you can fill out my form to request a fursuit quote.
• Everyone who fills it out correctly will get a quote.
• After that, those with a quote can sign up for a commission slot.
• From those sign-ups, I’ll choose a certain number of projects.
• If your sign-up isn’t chosen, your quote will stay valid for one more round — so you don’t need to request a new one the next round. If it’s not chosen the second time either, the quote will expire and you’ll need to request a new one in future rounds.
• 30% non-refundable deposit and payment plans of up to 3 months.
• Turnaround time will be much quicker — no more waiting over a year!
• Each round, I also want to give myself the chance to create a premade fursuit alongside commissions. That way I can try out new things and finally bring some of the amazing ideas in my head to life.
This new system should bring a lot more peace of mind and clarity — for both me and my customers — while allowing me to continue delivering the high-quality fursuits they know and expect from me. It also means faster delivery, clearer communication throughout the process and more opportunity for creativity, making your fursuit truly one of a kind.
For now, I’ll be closing the quote form on my website to avoid confusion. Before I open again, I’ll also update my price list.
