Quick question;
« on: January 01, 2016, 08:26:44 AM »
I-suprisingly-almost have enough money to commission from most good makers. I am planning to wait a couple of years so I don't grow out of said suit the moment I look at it. >~>
The quick question is who I should commission from, and what kind of suit to get.
I want a full suit, but I don't know what kind of eyes, static jaw or moveable, and other like things.
The main question is, who should I commission for a toonyish shark? I have been browsing for ages.  To. Many. Makers.  @.@, to many to chose from. Also, I need reference art, I mean I could make it myself. But I am having troubles.

I think there's a thread somepalce around here that has a list of fursuit makers!
Found it. It's here. http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=9619.0
Im going to post some links from it.
http://www.madefuryou.com/ - Toony, quality custom suits.
Don't be afriad to look around on Esty and Furaffinity, too.  I recently looked around and got myself a commision, and found a few artists you might like to commision.
http://jetera.deviantart.com/ - Russian, but also I saw a ref sheet he made I liked. Some prices looked reasonable.

This is a pretty good chart-pic-thing to compare the typical styles from some of the more "famous" toony makers:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15336245/ (Or well, most of Syber's gallery is probably a good place to look and compare, what with her owning a small personal army of Syber-suits. That pic just makes it easier to to tell who made which suit.)
Another maker who make nice toony suits (but seem to have a wider range of styles/creatures built) is Beastcub.


Moving jaws (as in more or less properly articulated ones that moves when you talk) tend to not work too well on toony suits, but it all tends to depend on the head-shape of the suit and the shape of your own head.
As for the eyes, I personally think toony suits look best with toony buckram follow-me eyes. Those also tend to be the ones with the best vision.
The only other "optional" thing I can think of are digitigrade legs, but seeing as it's supposed to be a shark-suit, I guess those can be left out.


As for reference sheets, keep in mind that fursuit reference sheets are best left clear and "simple". Many makers have "official"/recommended reference artists listed on their business pages, so those are good places to start looking.
Those artists are probably the best ones to approach for something like this too.
