Premade Fursuit In-Progress by Paulosaurus

As people on my friends/follow list know by now, I've been working on a new costume to be sold as a pre-made fursuit. This is a semi-realistic feathered raptor/deinonychus/generic dromaeosaurid. It's still not completed yet, with only the feet and taill 100% as of this post, but i have progress made on the head & hands, and a pattern & digitigrade foam for the bodysuit.

As with other costumes I've made, this is shaping up to be somewhat experimental in some ways due to my inexperience with craft feathers, faux fur, bodysuits, feet, and limb padding. So far everything seems to be working out alright (though i did end up carving foam for the feet about 3 or 4 times before I was satisfied with how the toes look).

Now, as said above, this is for eventual sale/auction upon completion. Thus far I've only done one commission suit and don't really know much about sales (not to mention being hesitant to do regular commission work due to having a full-time job elsewhere). I know not many people respond to be posts (which i can understand since I don't respond to many myself). However, I'm looking to get feedback/critique on both how the various pieces look as I complete them and post pics, as well as any advice on sales beyond just throwing it up on Furbid and hoping for the best. I do really like seeing how other fursuit makers do things since aside from basic stuff, everyone has their own styles & methods.

    I will look back on what in gallery progress of the pre-made and give my input! =v I do wish you luck on the sale. I know it will be a possible challenge as Dinosaurs/scalies not made with fur can be the difficult to sale at least immediately.

      Thank you. And yeah, I seem to have gotten myself into a bit of a niche market. Still, that was part of the reason i started suit-making, since there's relatively few crafters that do realistic costumes (there's still a good number of them, but not nearly as many as do toony style) and even fewer that do scalies without using fleece for very short-pile fur.
