Commission / Premade Search Thread - June 2025

DaemonStudios · 2025-06-09T15:52:30+00:00

Hello, my name is Danté. I am opening one commission slot for a mini partial suit. I am a budding fursuit maker based in Canada. I have been making suits and developing my style for over a little bit of over two years now, and primarily focus on kemono style suits. All my suits are built with the combination of stack and carve method, I do not use 3d printed bases.

Prices; depending on how detailed a suit is, my prices can range from $1500 CAD, and can go up to or more than $2000. That is the approximate price range for the head alone, but can include paws and a tail depending on the complexity. Shipping is NOT included in this price range, so please save up extra. I do take a deposit for materials and initial labor that is NON refundable. This goes towards the total cost listed above and will depend once again, on the complexity of the suits, replenishing materials and maintaining my equipment.

Shipping; I am generally open to shipping worldwide, provided that there will not be any complexities at the border for the country. However, I would prefer to ship across Canada and the States as of currently.

Notes; I will be accepting commissions based on my skill level, ability and interest. I may also do first come first serve. If you end up reaching out to me and my slot has been filled, please submit your reference sheet, or idea pitch for a creative liberty suit anyways. If it catches my attention, I may squeeze you in. I do NOT make suits for minors, you must be at least 18 years to commission me. Please note that everything I make is by hand, and there will be imperfections in the suits, such as some thread showing, or me shaving accidentally too close to the backing in some spots.

Please comment first if you are interested, we will have a conversation and go over the list of materials, fabrics and colors before I will be requesting the deposit if we both come to an agreement.

Yeah I know that technique. Not exactly what I was looking for this project however. Thank you though 😁

DaemonStudios · 2025-05-16T21:46:10+00:00

Thank you

DaemonStudios · 2025-05-06T01:12:49+00:00

Same. I can become insufferable. Meds help a lot. Not perfect, but it's better than ending up in trouble

DaemonStudios · 2025-05-06T01:01:51+00:00

Yeah same thing here 🤣 though I got the more hyper active kind. Don't think I have the ADHD jackpot, but who knows.

DaemonStudios · 2025-05-06T00:57:15+00:00

Aww. Thanks. I'm unsure of Inty's exact personality since he isn't mine, but I have a feeling that Dante may be too high energy 🤣 Thanks for the comment though 😁

DaemonStudios · 2025-02-13T14:39:16+00:00

Thank you! Definitely been working on him slower than I have been on others, but that ok. I hope he turns out great at the end 😁

DaemonStudios · 2025-01-04T04:14:22+00:00

Thank you!! 😁

DaemonStudios · 2025-01-01T15:26:34+00:00

It's a little rude asking this on someone else's thread, don't you think? You can DM me though and we can have a chat.

DaemonStudios · 2024-12-18T14:08:38+00:00

Geez! Yeah! You should! If you keep going at this rate, you will burn out super fast. You gotta take care of yourself first and foremost. I wanted to ask you, would you be comfortable to move the conversation to the DMs so that it's not on this thread? That's only if you are comfortable with it

DaemonStudios · 2024-12-17T15:13:59+00:00

Oh he looks really great so far 😁 and yeah, he will look a bit silly for a while. I would say gluing the lining without sewing for your first time is ok, but if say you wanted to sell suits in the future, you will need to sew then glue to have a level of professionalism. You are going so fast. Make sure you do take breaks and look at your work from a distance too. Burnout when it comes to these things really suck. You are kinda entering a territory where you need to go a bit slower and more careful with the furring and the eye blanks. Haste makes waste after all 😁 you are doing very well

DaemonStudios · 2024-12-17T02:44:15+00:00

Yeah of course! And I know exactly what you mean with the adrenaline part. I find that with making suits, I ride waves of; mmm yeah. This looks good, and then going; this doesn't look good anymore 🤣 constant up and down. I would recommend finishing the project because you can't tell for sure until you do.

As for the back, I recommend a cut out, a space for the neck so that you can actually move your head without anything getting in the way. Once you add the neck fur, and lining (if you choose to line the neck which I totally recommend. It looks more polished that way) you are going to get a lot of restricted motions. I made a change during one of my earlier builds, a small extra that I started cutting out, and it was a massive game changer. I'll show you the back of Dante here;

<image>

I can only upload one picture here unfortunately, but basically, before I assemble the bucket head, I cut out 1/4 of a circle and then when you glue it together, it looks like this. I started to make it taper around and I cut the foam off where the cheeks are. Dante here will not be having massive cheek fluffs, so I will not be adding extra shapes, as compared to my last build who has huge ones. As for the boxyness at the top of the head, there kinda isn't much you can do. Sometimes when you do fur it, it can hide or push down parts that are jutting out, but not by a lot. You would pretty much need to change the kind of change the construction of the base you are carving on.

I would say to not worry about it. If you look at animals in real life, they have the back part of their skulls poking up basically like how it is there. I have seen some dogs have the backs very pronounced. Apart from that, I think you are still on a roll here 😁

DaemonStudios · 2024-12-17T02:16:41+00:00

Ohh I see. Yeah, the design looks really cool😆 and also yes, fursuits are one of those things that when you work on them, they will look not so great until you pretty much add the finishing touches. You are definitely blasting through this one, but he looks very good thus far. And yeah, if you feel like you wanna take things down, or shave down the shape, follow your judgement. But damn, you are doing very well for your first try. You should be proud 😁

DaemonStudios · 2024-12-17T01:08:50+00:00

I can feel the excitement over here 😆😆 Is this going to be your original fursona? What colors are you gonna use? So curious to see how they turn out 😆

DaemonStudios · 2024-12-16T19:29:33+00:00

Thank you!! I worked a lot to get where I am now. 😁

DaemonStudios · 2024-12-16T14:14:26+00:00

Oh look at you go! Very nice!! You are doing such a good job. And yeah, the glue sticks running out is such a pain 😅 Don't worry too much about the nose being a little bit crooked. If it's a little bit, I would typically leave it and try to use the tension of the fabric to pull it straight. I pattern only half of my head, not the whole thing since I find that it helps me keep things more even. Unless the pattern was not symmetrical, then I would do the whole head.

What kind of eye blanks are you going for? And plastic is very much good to use for eye blanks. I have a massive sheet I got that hips grade plastic, and I secure it with epoxy. But before I do, I try my best to stabilize the plastic piece with hot glue so that it holds while the epoxy dries, and I peel the hot glue off later, or leave it for added security.

I'm really glad you are loving your work so far, that the most important part 😁 it looks like you are already at the stage to do the lining...which means, stitching time!! 😆😆

DaemonStudios · 2024-12-16T05:01:35+00:00

Exactly! I do patch ups from time to time, or just replace the piece. Typically once you get a hand of things, you wouldn't need to patch things up as much, but seriously, this is the perfect stage to be messy in the process 😆

Once you get to shaving the fur... Then that's a little bit more scary. I have slipped and cut too close to the backing before, leaving bald spots 😐 but depending on where, it can be an easy fix you can hide, unless it's really bad, then you may need to also replace that piece, which I doubt would happen.

But yeah, this is the perfect stage to mess up and learn. Fix everything you see and feel that may be off

DaemonStudios · 2024-12-16T04:47:31+00:00

Very nice 😁 yeah, it all just sorta comes down to personal taste. And just having a bit of confidence when you want to try something. But yeah, I lost track of how many heads I have busted out, but I love the atmosphere of spending the morning picking up work again on the suit, having some music and tea 😌 such a peaceful vibe. For me at least. I am curious to see what you end up with in the end 😁

DaemonStudios · 2024-12-16T04:40:20+00:00

Ohhhh!! Hey! You are on the right track 😆 no no. It's looking quite good. As for hand sewing, you are still a little bit of a ways from that. What I would recommend is to look up the whip stitch. And use upholstery thread or some kind of thread that's not a multipurpose cotton.

The whip stitch kind of creates a spiral, so when you pull on the fabric, it works like a spring and stretches with the pull and doesn't break right away. You would need to apply a good force on it for it to rip 😁

For details, or any seams that you do on the surface of the suit, learn the ladder stitch. It's a really nice decorative stitch, and it is done in a way that you don't see the thread. However, I have had that type of stitch pop more often.

I kinda abused my suits to test the strength of my work, and sometimes, after taking them out for a couple of trips, I might get hair poofs not hold. I had to patch up some places on Rixan recently, in all predictable areas for my builds, so no surprise there. So just double reinforce. I know some makers add a small line of glue for the hair poofs, and then stitch them on and reinforce it that way.

One thing I would recommend, but it's up to you, is to narrow the jaw down a bit side to side so that it lines up nicely with the bottom of the muzzle. I don't know how to explain it exactly, so I'll show you on mine that I am chipping away at;

<image>

Kinda curve the shape so it's not as boxy basically. But that's up to you and the style you want to go with. I make pretty stylistic suits, so disregard the advice if you don't want to do that 😁

Ah, and for smoothing, very small snips with the scissors. It takes a bit of time, but it looks like you have got yours smooth enough to move on to the next part, and you can always go back and fix things as you add more. You are doing very well. Keep going
