Any fursuit makers "hanging" around?

[NightQueen]

Ok so I've been dying to get a suit and I'm looking to spend a little less than 2k.
I might buy from someone if they're stuff is good or ill just try and make my own.


So if your a suit maker and up for a full-suit digigrade, drop-crotch bat. Please comment your rate and examples.


Or if you know a good suit-maker, please send me their way.


Alternatively if you have advice on making your own suit, tutorials, ect. Those would be greatly appreciated.

The 'Where to get Fursuits' post near the top of this thread on the forums is a good place, or just doing a search and looking for the style you want is a good area to look, if you don't have any luck here!
http://makersdatabase.tumblr.com/ Is a great place, they sort their findings by toony/realistic/etc. and by region. The makers' company name is listed under each set of photos, and you can either go to the link the site has, or search online with that company name. Most have a price list on their website, if they have one.
I've also made a realistic fullsuit (posted on my youtube channel) that's also a bat and am working on the head for a toony one, so if you wan to try and make one, I'd be happy to help! It's a huge topic and would be a long post all in one go, but if you wanted me to halp yew with specific parts, just shoot me a PM or something
It's quite a bit cheaper to make your own, if you know how to use a sewing machine, etc. But the huge cost is the time it makes. Being my first one, the realistic suit took me around 5 months to do, working on it for 2-3 hours a week. Of course I was experimenting with a ton of things to see what worked and what didn't, but it still took a long time and made a pretty big mess.
Good luck!!!
