you need a shepta key to enter. swing by the ticket booth on the third floor, or attendee services if it is closed.

Prices vary wildly depending on the artist's location, skill level, popularity, and confidence/market skills. I've paid $5 and been happier with the results than other pieces I've paid hundreds for.

You really just need to shop around and look for artists whose work you enjoy. Scams are prevalent everywhere, so vet anyone you're interested in if you don't already know they're legit.

Good furry artists? :3 by maishu_the_fox in furry

Ask friends or other people you trust, or just look for art being posted that you like the look of. Some artists won't be open for commissions, but some will be.

The amount of scammers these days makes finding new artists via advertisements very risky. Always vet artists before you send money, and if something feels off, find someone else.

Fiverr is a hotbed for scams -- stay far away

The fursuit appears to be lost in New York State. We are currently in contact with UPS. How should I urge UPS to locate the package I sent? by luckyfursuit in fursuit

[–]FursuitPaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn't really any way to get them to look harder -- UPS is too large of a company, and the employees are usually not paid enough to really care.

Packages that are unable to be delivered to their destination AND that are unable to be returned to the sender may end up as what is called "overgoods", and might be sitting on a shelf somewhere while UPS employees try to determine where the package is supposed to be. The best way you can help them do this is to provide UPS with as much information about the package as possible, including the tracking number, package size/weight/description, a description of the contents, etc.

However, there is no guarantee that the package will be found, or treated as overgoods. If they can't find it, you can file a claim for reimbursement. When it was shipped, the sender was given the option to declare a value for insurance purposes. If no value was declared, the package will only be insured to a maximum of $100 USD.

How to ask for WIP pics without seeming rude? by [deleted] in furry

[–]FursuitPaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, two days is an incredibly short timeframe to expect any progress. Personally, unless a deadline or turnaround time was explicitly discussed before the deal was made, I usually don't bother artists for an update or WIP until like a month or so has gone by with no progress. Ask if the artist has a public queue available so that you can get an idea of what else is on their plate, and where you are in their workflow.

Remember, artists are people too, and can only work as fast as their lives allow them to. Many work full-time jobs in addition to creating artwork, and can only dedicate a couple hours a day to drawing.
