I am going to upgrade my earlier journal and just say that I don't read notes. I honestly don't. I don't even click the little tab that takes me to them. You can send them if you want but it's likely they are going to sit there for a while.

Contact me through email if you have a pressing need but anything not directly involving my customers/auction questions/sales questions will be answered only if I have time. Like most artists, bookkeeping/email is not my favorite thing to do so I try to keep it down to the easy questions/necessities nowadays. There are already so many other things that take my time away from work that there is little draw any more to research something for someone when they can find it themselves with a little effort.

Thank you for the understanding :)

My FAQ: [link]

WHERE TO BUY FUR:
www.crscraft.com (international) – Realistic furs. Ignore the short pile and fun fur as it is not good for anything except small accents. I use a lot of their furs in my suits.

www.imstuffedfur.com (international) – High quality random assortment of furs. Pricy but worth it if you need something unusual

www.distinctivefabrics (USA) www.interiormall.com (search for 'promo shag') (Canada) – solid colors of fluffy fur for toonier characters.

AIRBRUSHING INFORMATION:
I use Createx airbrush paints. My airbrush is a Badger 155 Anthem. My compressor is an IWATA Smart Jet.

No I can not tell you what airbrush/compressor to buy. The above is what I have and it works for me. Createx (transparent or opaque does not matter) has proven to be one of the longest lasting paints, but you can airbrush with any material that you can get to come out the nozzle. In a pinch I'll use basic artist's acrylics.

I just wanted to ask something. I am making my own fursuit at the moment and have come to the stage of cutting the fur down on the face. Now I wondered where about you cut down, it's fairly hard to see in your photos.

I trim the muzzle, between the eyes, around the eyes, around the mouth, and the ears ^_^ Often also the sides of the face.
