Quotes, Process, Times and Measurements

 

You must be 18+ to commission us in order to prevent any issues with parents or tutor. We can ask for an ID if we think it may be necessary, with the ID number covered if you prefer. If you are not 18, your tutor or legal guide must do the purchase for you. 

We will only work at original characters, we do not work on characters from Anime/Manga/Cartoons/Videogames/Movies. We have our style, so we can not copy another artist’s work.  

 

We negotiate and discuss your commission details with you and we’ll make an accurate quote of your fursuit. We need to know all details to add to your suit, included if you prefer a determinate base expression, or if you want to add something extra. 

Only after that, you must fill our application form. We need that form filled to know all your private informations (Real name, address,email,phone number, and your fursona informations too).

 

Before starting your commission we show you which fur we chose for the realisation of your suit. Keep in mind that it’s not always possible find the exact fur color of your reference
 

Quotes

A quote is an estimation price request. With it you will know how much your project will cost. We are open for quotes twice for year. We ask that you only apply for a quote if you are ready to commission us. Quotes are valid 6 months only, because prices can change during the year.

You don't need to be 18+ to ask for a quote but you have to keep in mind that YOU MUST BE 18+ OR HAVE A TUTOR WHO WILL DO THE PURCHASE FOR YOU if you will be chosen for the current queue.

​

We will open a Google Form for quote applications and that is when you will be able to give us the details of your project such as: fullsuit, partial, fur colors, magnetic features, etc. Be sure to select ALL the options on the form!! If your character has an hair tuft or spikes select the correct option!

Add all your notes or suit preferences if you have any.

Submitting a quote does not guarantee a commission slot. Commissions are not first come, first served. We could be unable to accept your commission for many reasons, one of them is too many applications. But don't worry, you can try to be choosen again the next reopening. We will take 5\8 commission slots per commissions opening.

 

Reference Sheets

Your reference should include:

Front and back views of your character (side views are great too, but not required)+ tongue color. Please keep in mind this point when you ask for a quote because we will ignore every quote request that doesn't include a ref with those characteristics!! Be sure that your reference is as accurate as possible, we don’t want to struggling to understand how some parts are made during the construction process. This will help us to be more quick and efficent.

We accept SAFE FOR WORK REF SHEETS ONLY, any ‘Not Safe For Work’ reference sheets sent will be ignored. No genitalia should be visible on the reference sheet so be sure to censure them or cut them off.

All markings should be shown very clearly and they should be EXACTLY how you want them to look on your suit. We count every spot and stripe on a character to make my prices. So be sure to specific on the ref  or on the notes\suit prferences if spots number is casual or if you want an exact number of them. Take in mind that spots,stripes and complicated markings will increase the price of the suit.We prefer ref sheets without shades.

​

What now?

After you filled out the quote form you will recieve an email after 1\2 weeks with your suit's price estimation. You just have to accept or discard the price sending us an email within 48hours. If you will accept the price you will have 72hours to send the first payment down!

After that, you will be inserted officially in the queue!

 

You've been choosen?

Congratulations! you can now be part of the StuffedTails family!

The first thing we need is a 30% non-refundable retainer fee (via PayPal or Bank tranfer) to hold your spot in our queue. Bank transfer payments are preferable for EU customers. We require this payment to be made within 72 hours of your acceptance. If it is not received within that time, we will drop your acceptance and choose another project.

After the retainer fee is received you will be officially on my queue and you can start with the payment plan. If you need a payment plan, this can be discussed during the quoting process.

​

DTD and Measurements:

If you have commissioned a bodysuit from us, we will need a proper Duct Tape Dummy. This is a crucial element in ensuring your costume fits properly, so be sure to follow the tutorials and make it pefect!

We will NOT make bodysuits without a proper duct tape dummy. We are not responsable if your DTD is not made properly and the costume won't fit you perfectly!

Please follow this duct tape dummy tutorial (click here).

We require that at least one of your feet be taped up. Your toes do not have to be included, but please tape up the heel and ankle. The foot must be attached to the leg of the full duct tape dummy, please do not send a foot separately. Remember to sign where your elbows and knees are!

Tape your DTD back up completely before shipping it to us.

Write your name and character name on the front of your DTD.

Other measurements will be required on the applications form if needed (head circumference, feet number, chest circumference etc)

​

Material Choices 

Please be aware that there is a limited color palette available for fabrics (fur, fleece, minky cuddle, faux leather) compared to the limitless possibilities that can be depicted in reference art. We try our best to match colors as best we can, but there will be some times when there is not a color close to a color in your reference. We will provide you with the closest color samples we have access to for you to choose from.  

We only use HQ materials for our suit to give to your suit the best results. We DON’T accept fur already bought from you or others. If you need a particular color from a seller you know, we can buy it from them, but this is not always possible.( This could charge more the total price) 

 

Work in Progress

We will send photos periodically. Please do not expect pictures every day and don't ask for them. We will try to send them as often as we can! We will contact you for approval before continuing construction on certain parts, so please keep a close eye on your email or Instagram. These include, but are not limited to: images of fur/fabric swatches, the head carve before it is furred, and images of the completed fursuit.  

Once your costume is completed, we will send detailed photos and videos for your approval.

​

Edits during the Construction Process  

We work from your reference images and detailed information to create your commission. If you see WIPs we send and want tweaks or small adjustments along the way, we will accommodate, within reason.  

If you want to change something on the character design, you can comunicate it to us before we start to work on your suit. We have to charge if you want to do it after we already started the commission. We will let you decide if you want to pay for the adjustment, or if we should proceed as-is.  

 

Turn Around Time  

The construction process takes from 1 to 6 months. 

We will not work with deadlines.

Times of working are decided by us. We will try to finish your commission as soon as possibile, but if you need the commission for a certain date, must be commissioned in time, and we will let you know if it is possibile. 

Things that could delay your Turn Around Time  

  • Not sending your measurements and DTD in a timely fashion 

  • Not responding to email or pm's communications (especially when we send WIPs we need approved) in a timely fashion 

  • Changes to designs or add-ons mid-way through commission 

  • Delays with payments
