Another not-quite-customer story. I'll just present you with the conversation, it speaks for itself.
X: exactly... how hard is it to make a fursuit head?
BladeTrethoniel: *shrugs* I find it not so much hard as time consuming
X: oh? cause I was thinking of making one for a costume
BladeTrethoniel: *nods* There's a lot that goes into one.
X: what're the big steps?
BladeTrethoniel: Building a frame, fleshing out the frame, making eyes, making teeth, making a nose, making ears, making a pattern for the fur, cutting and sewing the fur, gluing the fur.... I'm probably forgetting something in there.
X: that... is a lot
X: I can see why they cost so much lol
X: how much do you charge for them?
BladeTrethoniel: Depends a bit on the details. $550 is my base price.
X: o.o
X: people pay that much
X: what am I saying of course they do they're furries
X: XD now I want to make them and sell them
BladeTrethoniel: You can't get anywhere NEAR that much money for one as a beginner. I've been doing this six years now.
X: haha yeah I'd imagine I'd have to hone my skills for a while
X: still, the prospect of money has me intrigued, how did you get started?
BladeTrethoniel: I started making tails
X: yeah but everyone makes tails
X: and besides I have two tails which are somehow still intact despite my unusual treatment of them
X: I need to start in the big leagues, besides once I master heads everything else will be easy
Yeah. My desire to give her useful advice just swirled right down the drain there.
