hello, I'm Cal! fursuit maker, sewist, and certified Mice Guy | 25 | 🏳️⚧️
a mouse photo every day at @dailymice,
personal non-furry stuff at @sybaritick
Adjusted the shape/length of the snout a bit by client request! I like it better this way too-- looks more like their fursona! 🐶
(also in general I want to encourage people to ask for a change to their commission if they want one! a fursuit is a complex, expensive project and I want your base to look exactly how you want it for your suit, so that's why I always ask "anything you'd like me to change?")
I noticed the times I went to conventions or looked through an online gallery I would have to dig a few pages back to see any birds, or really anything that isn't some type of canine. Some artists I asked and they said they could do birds but didn't have any in their binder...
Dogs, wolves, and foxes may be the most popular fursona choices at any one time, but showing off your art of birds, dinosaurs, extinct species, just about anything, seems like an easy way to stand above the rest and get commissions from the lesser represented fursonas that just went through binders at five other tables and did not see a character like themselves a single time.
Impress us. Tempt us. Make us remember you.
(This is also kinda introspection to why I don't have a lot of art commissions of myself aakgjhsdjkgsfh)
Even though the most common commissions I do are for canine head bases (and honestly, I love making them! especially including the little differences that make them all distinct 💕) I try to make sure I also show example of other species I've done bases and parts for too :D
(Obviously mice. So I'm trying to mostly show things here that aren't mice because everyone KNOWS i do mice...)
oh yeah!! and the babirusa head:
tusked boy, my beloved! 🐗
i know there are other even-less-common species I haven't done yet (like insects for example! it would be cool to do a moth fursuit head...) but I am always open to taking commissions for them and hope to do more in the future :)
