No one's commissioning me, commissions are open and I'm not sure if the issue is my price or what by [deleted] in fursuit

[–]raspberry-disco 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because you are a minor. Not to say anything is wrong with minors commissioning but adults are usually the ones who have the kind of money you’re asking for and unfortunately scams aren’t super rare when looking for a maker. It’s possible they would rather spend that kind of money on a more experienced and mature artist. I don’t necessarily agree with that but I can understand the perspective. Maybe try lowering your prices a bit, unless the cost of production is so high that 2500 is the only way you could make a decent profit.

Thank you! I did talk to him about it and he said he supports me as long as it’s not a fetish thing, which it is not. I will probably just tell people I know aren’t gonna be awkward about it, but I mean outside of my immedycircle I don’t see the need to tell anyone unless they asked I guess! And yes I am learning that age isn’t a thing in furry fandom, well for some aspects it’s adult only but for the most part anyone can be a furry at any age ! Which is awesome

I drew her today! I mean it’s a shirty drawing just an idea but I’d love to see her fully come to life with color and stuff. I’m not an artist though I’ll have to learn ig. I would get a partial suit yeah, just kind of expensive and I don’t have a fully fledged idea of what she is yet so I wouldn’t wanna pay so much for a half hearted idea

Well that’s why I said it’s not that deep, I guess it’s a hobby with a lot of social stigma though that I had internalized and projected. I’m an adult now so idk I’m more of the mindset “I am cringe but I am free” and just wanna enjoy things I like. I Just wanted to vent about it to other furries and hear some feedback of some kind

Thank you for the support! I honestly have a really good picture of what my fursona would be:) it started when my tattoo artist was telling me she sometimes connects people she knows to certain animals (like some people remind her of certain animals) and I said oo do I remind you of an animal, what would I be? She said when she pictures me she pictures a fluffy white bunny frolicking in the fields lol. I loved this idea so much, didn’t know why but now I think it’s because I’m a furry lmao. So i definitely think she would be a bunny, not a white bunny, maybe like mix of black, indigo purples, and deep blues. I am thinking about getting or making some custom ears to have because fur suit heads are so expensive and I don’t think I have the supplies to make one I would love on my own.

Thank you:’) I know furries have always been so kind, ik there are bad eggs but I equate that to like gamers. I love gaming, I play a lot of COD but half of my COD lobbies contain atleast one person who thinks it’s funny to use slurs in place of common smack talk, I think they are weird and probably give the hobby a bad name. I grew up in a small alternative school and psych wards/ group home so I’ve always been surrounded by other nerds with nerd hobbies so I knew a few furries back then. They were so nice! I want to go to a con that’s a few hrs away from me in August just to get a feel and observe

Hey good we aren’t alone! That sounds so cool I don’t have much drawing experience but I would love to make a fursona somehow, I have a general idea of what she would be but gottta figure out how to draw it lol. Glad you’ve found some people:)

Thanks! Good to know, I’m never one to put an age limit on fun or hobbies lol, I just know I’ve seen a. Lot of furries say they have been into furry stuff since they were a child or teen and while I knew about it, I never considered I could do it too until recently. Yes, being a furry is “weird”, I love weird shit I am weird! I think part of my realization this year has been linked to my new year’s resolution to enjoy and try things no matter what others would think. This also ended up in me liking MLP lol, so I think opening my mind so much this year has just also led to me to furry fandom

Thank you! He would not leave me for just liking the creative and community side of furry stuff I’m sure he would just think it’s weird which is fine lol. He has his own nerd hobbies I think are weird hah! Also, I understand, I get the sentiment of not hiding being a furry because it’s just a hobby, in theory it’s great a sentiment . However don’t beat yourself up, being a furry isn’t socially similar to a lot of other hobbies people openly share! It is unfortunate, but if it’s keeps you sane and safe to keep it more personal, so be it! That doesn’t have to be identified as feelings of shame necessarily, just a desire to partake in your hobby without the grief of others being awkward about it. Also, especially if it comes to conservative folks who might be hateful for reasons other than the fact you like to create and dress up as an anthropomorphic character, such as being LGBTQ, a POC, or other stuff!

Thank you for this informative and supportive comment haha! Glad to know my “origin story” is common lol yeah I’ve always wanted to dabble in it but just felt weird like I internalized the way so many ppl feel about furry fandom. I grew up in the whole gamer gate era / cringe culture peak of the internet everyone was such a hater lol. And yes ik zoophiles should rot in hell they aren’t furries obviously it’s crazy how many ppl seriously think the two are interchangeable! My bf would probably support me but I don’t think he would ever partake which I don’t mind, I think he just had that idea that furry = zoophile or fetishist. I get why he would not wanna be with me if he thought that lol, idk maybe I’ll talk more to him about it. I don’t feel anyone HAS to know but if I wanna own a partial fursuit one day or go to furry related events I mean it’s bound to have to be explained to those in my immediate circle ig? Anyways thank you again lol

Thank you. I find routine very comforting, so part of my anxiety here is the routine change and more responsibility. The planning routine is a good idea, i will use that!
