Resin blank, jawset, tongue sculpted by Crystumes and casted by me. Everything else fabricated by myself.

You can get all the pieces I used to make this fursuit in my shop!

You have to go light to dark with airbrush. Putting white on dark fur just doesn't really work. If you need something to be white, you have to sew in white fur.

Ugh looooove this one. I love how the glow paint is made of little dots instead of solid paint

Melissa Mendelson Art @zulayawolf.bsky.social · 13d

Oh and totally forgot to mention - this was based on an adopt designed by @furbakery.bsky.social ! The design comes with the suit as well!

Introducing the golden midnight werewolf! I was trying to have this done by AC, but that didn't happen...been poking at it for a few months between commissions. Now she is all finished up and looking for a home!

I've noticed that acrylic half rounds have gotten crazy expensive in the past few years. Prices are double what they were in such a short time

Melissa Mendelson Art @zulayawolf.bsky.social · 24d

Thank you all for your patience! I have started sending fursuit commission emails out, so make sure to check your spam folder! I haven't sent emails to everyone yet so don't panic if you haven't gotten one, I am still calculating the last quotes. I will update when I have sent an email to everyone.

Premades really just aren't selling right now, unfortunately. It's been a trend for the past couple years, where premades have been tough to sell, but has seemed to really tick up in the past few months (for obvious reasons in the USA at least)

Miscast and repaired Kessler resin base. Cut and hinged . Hinge area broke on one side so I epoxy and Apoxie sculpt reattached and reinforced. It’s also a little crooked. This base is one of our largest face bases. Normally $170 open to offers! Need funds.
