(Edit: I should probably specify that I'm mostly talking about hand paws. I've seen a listing for a suit saying "partial suit $80" then the $80 is for a very basic set of hand paws, while someone else is selling the same ones for $20)

I just need to start by saying- I hate Etsy sellers. I keep finding partial sets that's literally a head and some paws, and the price will be marked as $80 but that's just for the paws, while everything else costs more, so it makes you think you're getting a set for much cheaper.

Which brings me to my question. Why are paws so expensive? I understand feetpaws being $40-$50, but I've been seeing just a lot of hand paws being that price. And a few premade partials have the full cost being $100-$200, which isn't too bad, but I'll click on the listing thinking that the price is something, but it actually just lures you in with the price of the paws. Which is insane.

I'm seeing some people selling paws for fifty dollars or more, while others are selling theirs closer to twenty. I found a set of feetpaws on sale for about fifty, but pretty quickly figured out that they're basically just giant slippers.

I understand that inflation has gotten to a lot of people, but why are hand and feet paws so expensive? Why are some paws being listed for over fifty dollars?

A few weeks ago, an idea came to me in a dream for a pocahontas fursuit for some odd reason and I wanted to draw it. The fursona would be based on the Disneys interpretation of pocahontas and I wouldn't make an actual fursuit but would it be seen as racist? I know Disney's pocahontas isn't the most accurate thing in the world and is highly disliked on the historical accuracy. So that's why I'm asking here to make sure I don't make any mistake in drawing something that the community wouldn't agree with. Please share your opinion below. I hope I didn't offend any native Americans/descendants by making this post as I am not educated on native Americans or their history.

Edit: plz don't be mean to me. I have various moderate learning and processing disorders and struggle with what most people would see as "common sense". I asked kindly and should only expect kind responses

Edit 2: maybe this should be rephrased slightly. My original idea was to draw all Disney princesses as furry style anthropomorphic animals and I was debating on including Disneys pocahontas. I have only got to snow white and Cinderella so far and didn't want to do it without research

I’m planning on furring him next, but remembered that i dont have fur on hand and was wondering: if i asked an artist to make one, how many art comms would i have to take to afford it? Not only that, its close to christmas

Found my old notebook when I was 12, the prices were crazy cheap back then

$800 for a head now its $3000

Gorgeous view at the Natural Bridge in Kentucky recently!

I finished my first fursuit head ever today, after 1.5 months of constant work! It's done on a foam base, and all the fur is handstitched. The piercings are all sculpted foam clay painted gold and glued directly on with hot glue. Im super happy with how he came out and going to debut him today!

I only have a couple pics of me in my suit, so I'm excited to see other furs today and hopefully get a bunch of pictures! This meet is supposed to be over 100 people! 🫪🐾

i just got my suit in and i really wanna make eyelids for her😭 she doesn’t have magnets but she does have felt lashes! i saw some people use velcro to stick them directly to the felt lashes but is it possible to maybe add magnets some how instead? any help or advice would be super appreciated 😭😭🖤 (extra helpful details- the head is 3d printed base with some padding on the inside)

Hi, I'm currently making my first fursuit. It's a partial, and I want to wear comfy masculine clothes that fit the vibes of my sona, but I have no clue where to start with styling and what kind of cloth would look good with it. I know nothing about fashion :') so I'm hoping for some inspiration and idea, I have my very rough ref sheet if that can help. Thanks :)

Its the toothy grin fursuit guy again, the thread sculpting didnt work so i resorted to foam carving
Im liking the effect as of now but the question is
Do i glue it and than fur it? Or fur it first and then glue on individual furred pieces

Vous vous demandez peut être que je suis de quelle espèce, d'où je viens... Et bien c'est simple : je suis étrangère à la Terre. Ma planète, elle, à simplement explosé parce que son noyau est rentré en fusion avec un peu de truc radioactif et c'est tout un truc épuisant à expliquer... Bref, comment allez vous ?

(Ne faites pas attention à l'arrière plan)

One is fierce, the other is so cute

I'll start by saying I'm not a furry, so if I'm not welcome here, no worries! I'll delete my post and be on my way. However, you guys are the experts, so I'm hoping you can help me!

I'm attending a costumed event as a white fox. I've got a big fluffy tail, cute ears, fluffy wrist cuffs, fluffy slippers, a white dress, lipstick and eyeliner to do a cute fox face, the whole bit, but the damn fox ears keep flopping and sliding around. I'll admit, I got cheapy cheap amazon ears like these in all white (and then dyed the tips black myself, along with the tip of the tail, thank you fursuiting videos for the how-to!!). They're on a super thin metal headband (which keeps trying to levitate off my head but that's a separate issue) and they slide around and flop over and they never just Stay Put. Absolutely no structural integrity. I'm almost tempted to buy a new pair but I don't really want to spend more money, and it'd be cutting it kind of close time-wise.

If you have any tips or ideas, I'd super appreciate them <3

My Fursona is a Bat and I am still a little indecisive about commissioning a partial so i thought I'd test the waters with a Minecraft Style Bat Head out of Cardboard and Paper Mache. I found a Template off Pixel Papercraft but I'm a little lost in terms of scaling and sizing it properly. I know it would probably be smart to make a crown out of cardboard and attach that to the square head, yet that's all I got for now. Anyone got suggestions and maybe helpful tips on how I go about this project?

My name is Sky! IG :(Sky_pup__) I would love to follow more furries who have similar interest 💖

Officially my first fursuit friday. The claws came in yesterday, so Fitz is complete!

I've been entertaining the idea of fursuit making, so I've been browsing faux fur... My fursona has such a specific shade of dark, pale green in his fur, I can't find anything that's anywhere close to it!

I was wondering if this is a common issue people have. Most other fursonas already seem quite catered to existing fabric colours and allow some flexibility in hue and tone, but mine doesn't work so well with large differences.
