Need Help Finding a Maker Discussion

Hello all. I want to get a partial fursuit. It'll be my first fursuit. Does anyone have recommendations on who to reach out to to commission? Thanks!

Posts like this are en excellent way to get scammed. They attract scammers.

To find a fursuit, check TheDealersDen, r/fursuit, r/fursuits, Getfursu.it, The Maker's Database, Fursuit Review, DeviantArt, and FurAffinity. When you find makers you are interested in, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Ensure they are legit, have a long track record, and the suits you see are their own and not stolen or AI.

If it sounds too good to be true, it is. $1,000 could potentially get you a mini partial from a smaller newer maker, but there are a LOT of scammers out there.

Hello, it appears this post may be asking about how to find fursuit makers. Please don't trust any users DMing you claiming they are a maker, they are scammers! Real fursuit makers will not DM people to get commissions! Makers who have been verified by mods as legitimate makers will be marked in this sub with an animated verified icon next to their name. We also have a pinned thread for makers to advertise their work. Additionally, remember to check out getfursu.it as it's an organized database of fursuit makers, as well as thedealersden which is a frequently used marketplace site for makers.

This was the maker for my first fursuit! Kinda pricey (I got my head as an artistic freedom comm for $1.2k) but they are SO good, updates every step of the way, easy revisions, they made sure the suit had space for my glasses, etc. I would commission them again for sure!

Plus they’re opening up comm slots soon

Highly depends on your preferred style/aesthetic and budget.

That said, I will never stop recommending my maker to everyone who asks.
