About

I am Pseudo, and I have been making fursuits since 2009.
Fursuit making is not my primary source of income,
but instead is a side hobby for me.My fursona is a green foodog, and I attend conventions across Europe with my friends. (Confuzzled, Eurofurence, etc.)
I am based in the UK.I do not take myself or my art too seriously,
I am very aloof and anyone is welcome to approach me !I also sell my sewing patterns and tutorials,
see Sewing Patterns for more information.

Fursuit commissions are OPEN november 15th

Commission Applications will be open November 15th - 20th.
Some customs (ex. collars) are available regardless of commission status.Those who join my email list before November 10th will more likely to be given a slot, and will be notified as soon as the form is live:

Commission Info

I specialise in bringing to life custom characters.
I rarely open commissions, openings are announced first to my mailing list then to BlueSky.If you are interested in one of my parts that I have a pattern uploaded for, you are welcome to commission another fursuit maker and ask them to use my sewing pattern.

I prefer to spend as much time on a single suit until it is completed as much as possible. I focus especially closely on detail, comfort, and durability so that my art can persevere through many events over many years.For these reasons, I prefer to focus on personal projects, but I have been recently searching to expand my portfolio by offering a rare commision slot here or there. I am very picky with which commissions I will accept.I operate on open communication and short waitlists, as I believe in taking slots only when I am able to complete them, rather than constant backlisting and forced waiting.

Get Notified

Commission openings are rare and highly selective.
Those who apply first are most likely to be accepted.If you leave your email below, you can join my mailing list.
I will only notify you as soon as slots open.
No spam, no data sharing, no faff.Those on my email list will get at least 24 hours notice before my slots are public.

Features

All of my pieces are produced with great attention to detail;
with lining/cuffing/etc coming standard where appropriate.The individual features that I offer on each suit differ
drastically to fit whatever fits the character and wearer.Many changes (ex. flat eyes) are free, some incur an extra charge (ex. digitigrade), whereas others are not offered (ex. realistic resin eyes).
Please send me a quote (only open during times during which slots are open) for an accurate estimation.I will work with each individual customer and character
to determine the best methods for the suit to be completed.**Starting in 2025, I will accept fullsuit commissions without the need to provide a DTD (duct tape dummy), and instead use a 3D scan. More information is available in my Terms of Service.

Terms of Service

Hello ! Thank you so much for your interest in commissioning me. These Terms of Service (TOS) are here to make sure everything goes smoothly for both of us. They outline what you can expect from me as your maker, and what I need from you as a client.
I know this document looks a bit formal, but it’s simply to protect us both and keep things clear and fair. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions at any time, I’m always open to communicate throughout the process.
By reading through this, you’ll have a clear idea of how I work, how to prepare for your commission, and how I handle things like payments, communication, and care of your suit.

Accuracy: I will remain as faithful to your reference and character as I am able. However, some things are simply not achievable in physical form. Similarly, I am limited by the information that I am given, and cannot be responsible for such discrepancies when I am uninformed or ill-informed. Please know that I will ask you many clarifying questions and let you know what I am doing before I do it, so we have plenty of time to discuss changes during the commission process. Your DTD/3D scan and measurements must be accurate, and if I deliver a product which matches your measurements/DTD/3D scan but not yourself, this is your responsibility.

Age: You must be 18+ to commission me or have your parent/guardian order for you.

Allergies: Animals are generally not permitted to come into direct contact with client products. However, if you have a life-threatening allergy to dogs or cats, please do not commission me, as I cannot guarantee an allergen-free workspace. Materials are used as they are received from suppliers, and I cannot control potential allergens present in fabrics, furs, adhesives, or other components. Any allergic reaction to materials, fibers, or particles is the responsibility of the client. I do not apply perfumes, air fresheners, or other scented products to client work in order to minimize potential reactions.

Backing Out: "Backing Out" is when a client refuses to pay for a commission which is either finished or in progress. Backing out will result in an immediate blacklist without exception. Payment plans can be extended with some leniency in the event of financial trouble, but if nonpayment or no communication without explanation is received for 1+ month, then the buyer will be considered to have Backed Out. At this stage the commission is considered terminated, see section ‘Commission Termination’ below.

Blacklist: Clients who engage in harassment, nonpayment, chargebacks, or bad-faith behavior will be permanently blacklisted. I reserve the right to privately warn other artists about proven scammers for mutual protection, in accordance with privacy regulations.

Bodysuits: For a bodysuit to be made, a DTD (duct tape dummy) must be made and shipped to me (at your expense). At the end of the commission, you are welcome to have the DTD returned to you with your commission or it can be destroyed by me at your request. If the DTD is of exceptionally poor quality, I will request a remake.

--> 3D Scans: Starting in 2025, the client will be given the option to instead provide a high quality, to-scale 3D scan instead of a DTD. Scans are easier to retrieve, and provide a much more accurate representation of a client’s size. The client must provide an exported scan themselves, which can be done at many gyms and kiosks globally. This may be possible to do at home on a LiDAR-enabled device with certain applications which may require additional payment (ex. EthanMakes3D). A 3D scan may be required starting in 2025, please refer to your acceptance communications for more information, as they may fully replace DTDs.

Care: A detailed care guide will be given to you at the end of your commission. Sweat and filth may damage a suit over time, and should be washed as soon as is reasonable. Large pieces (ex. bodysuits) may require some disassembly before being washed, and reassembly after being dried. General warnings follow: Do not use chlorine bleach (hypochlorite) or isopropanol (isopropyl/rubbing alcohol) on your suits under any circumstance. Please note that ‘fursuit spray’ may contain these chemicals. For cleaning and disinfection, colour-safe bleaches and laundry soap is recommended, along with colour-safe carpet cleaners (ex. Folex). Please spot check any chemicals which are not directly recommended by myself, as they may cause chemical damage or discolouration. Do not expose your suit to uncontrolled heat (clothes dryer, hot water washes, iron, etc). Do not expose your suit to prolonged dampness as it may encourage fungal growth (ex. high humidity, lack of ventilation, slow drying, etc). Chemical, heat, and fungal damages are extremely serious. Repairs may be impossible or expensive, and will always be the client’s responsibility.

Character Rights: By submitting a character design you have presented that you have the right or permission to commission a costume of it. Damages by other persons/parties by the client’s misrepresentation of character ownership will fall back onto the client, as it is not my responsibility to investigate the ‘owner’ of a design. I retain copyright over my sculptural, sewing, and pattern work, but never your character.

Chargebacks: Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without contacting me first is considered a breach of contract and will result in immediate blacklisting. Legal action may be pursued in cases of fraudulent disputes.

Commission Termination: Both the client and artist are protected in the event that a commission must be terminated (see sections on ‘Backing Out,’ ‘Harassment,’ and ‘Unforeseen Circumstances’). You will be sent whichever parts are finished and refunded the remaining amount (If this is not possible, then all unsent parts will be refunded). Unfinished parts will be retained to be resold or destroyed to clear space in the workshop. In the case of near-complete heads, the likeliness will be changed when possible. Downpayment may be refunded if the reason for termination is mine alone, dependant on the progress of the commission (i.e. Unforeseen Circumstances). All refunds will be sent within 30 days if available. Refund amounts (where applicable) will be calculated based on materials purchased and labour completed at the time of termination.

Colour: Fur colours will be decided very early in the commission process. Fabric colours are limited, and your character may need to be adapted to fit this limitation. I will also only work with my preferred vendors (which includes over 150 hues). If the chosen fabric colours are unwanted, I will need to be informed immediately, as it may be impossible or incur an additional fee to change after fabric is purchased. For commissions of pieces to match an already made costume, I cannot guarantee that the fur colour nor texture will match perfectly. In this situation, it may be best to send me fur yourself (at your own cost). Furs are subject to quality standards, and you will be compensated comparable to the price of me buying the fabric myself.

Communication: I will maintain contact with you and ensure that everything is being made per your specifications. All professional client communications will be replied to within 5 work days while a commission is active (unless I am unavailable for a longer period of time, of which I will warn you ahead of time). Errors are difficult to fix further down the line, and feedback during the commission process is extremely important.

Coworkers/Contractors: I may take on an apprentice in the future. As a result, another individual may be involved in helping to complete your commission. All quality will still be overseen by myself, and I am solely responsible for any issues their work may present. They will be compensated and credited for their work, but the contract still stands solely between myself and the client. Contractors are not to be used as a point of contact.

Currency Conversion: Payment can be sent in most currencies, but exchange fees may apply and are the responsibility of the commissioner. In the event of a refund, the exchange fees may apply once again, as all refunds will be made in EUR or GBP only. In a payment plan, the current exchange rate may apply differently with each payment made as it is determined on my confirmation of arrival, unless other arrangements have been made. If a bill is overpaid due to this discrepancy the overpay will be refunded to the buyer.

Deadlines: I will do my best to propose and meet all deadlines, but I cannot be held responsible for delays caused by nonpayment/waiting for measurements/supplier delays/shipping delays. I may be able to finish a commission earlier than anticipated if a rush fee is paid to cover overtime (but I will not move your work ahead of other clients). Outside factors may affect the deadline, but the client will be appropriately notified in this case.

Downpayment: Progress will not start until a 25% downpayment is completed. This downpayment is used to purchase materials, and will not be refunded in most circumstances. The deadline for this downpayment will be in your acceptance communication, and if not paid in time the commission will be declined and may result in the client being blacklisted.

Examples/Patterns/Tutorials: Unless otherwise stated, all patterns and models are of my own creation. If I develop a sewing pattern or model for your commission, it retains my intellectual property. I am able to redistribute and reuse the pattern, as well as use images of your piece as an example or tutorial for the purpose of pattern redistribution. I will not redistribute the likeliness of your character/etc.

Governing Law: This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom. Any disputes arising under or in connection with this agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.

Harassment: I have the right to at any time terminate the commission on my end if I am subjected to harassment/threats/etc by a client or I have credible evidence that the client has scammed artists in the past. At this stage the commission is considered terminated, see section ‘Commission Termination’ above.

Payment: All payment must be made via bank transfer (IBAN/ACH/etc). Please be assured that I have delivered many commissions in the past and I will not allow misuse of funds. Monthly payment plans are allowed and tailored to the client’s needs and estimated completion timeline. However, any completed items will not be shipped until all payment is successfully completed. If multiple payment deadlines are missed, the commission may be terminated (see ‘Commission Termination’ above). Each received payment is logged on a spreadsheet and an email receipt will be given.

Photography: I reserve the right to photograph and publicly post images and videos of your commission for portfolio and promotional purposes (social media, websites, conventions, etc.). You may explicitly request privacy in writing before commission acceptance. Clients may also post and use my photos of the costume freely, provided that proper credit to me as the maker is given when requested.

Privacy: Personal information provided (such as names, addresses, or measurements) will only be used for commission and shipping purposes, and will not be shared with third parties except as required for shipping or tax documentation.

Repairs: Any sewing errors are checked for many times, but if you find any unusually fragile seams or ones which are already broken soon after receiving the suit, small repairs can be performed for free by me if the commission is clean and shipped back to my current location at the client’s cost (or at a convention or in-person meeting if possible). Wear and tear is bound to come with years of love, and I am unable to provide "life-long" free repairs for commissions, so this only includes the short period after your commission arrives and before any alterations or damages were made by the client. Paid repairs may be available after this point, but are not guaranteed.

Reference: A standard drawn 3-view (front, side, back) reference is not required, so long as you are accepting of artistic liberties taken in areas where information is not complete. This includes written descriptions or drawn references with sections which are incomplete, illogical, illegible, or impossible. If you wish to have a character created to a very specific design, please fill out a ref sheet ahead of time.

Revisions: Design changes requested after materials are purchased or work has begun may incur additional fees depending on scope. Minor adjustments discussed early in the process are often included, but major redesigns are not.

Shipping: Shipping is to be paid by the client. I am not responsible for tariffs/customs/import fees or other taxes levied by the importing government. Intercontinental shipping is particularly expensive. I am most comfortable delivering an item at a convention or at an in-person meetup if possible (I may ask you to cover the cost of bringing the fursuit on a flight if necessary). Shipping costs cannot be calculated until after the commission is complete. All items will be packed safely and sent with tracking and insurance. Any damage incurred during shipping is not my responsibility.

Style: Artistic liberties may be taken so long as your character remains recognizable. Please note that I will not ‘copy’ another’s style nor will I deviate from my own. Certain shapes or patterns will be adapted. Information on this will be communicated ahead of time.

Unforeseen Circumstances: Emergencies which severely affect my livelihood (ex. health crisis). If possible, the commission will be resumed when recovered, with both completion and payment deadlines extended. Otherwise, the commission may need to be terminated, see section ‘Commission Termination’ above.

Wearing: Wearing a fursuit is hard! Although I strive for good ventilation/movement/vision, wearing any fursuit comes with risks. My costumes are artistic in nature and intended only for entertainment use. Please read about fursuiting before purchasing; stay hydrated and do not suit for extremely long uninterrupted periods of time. I am not liable for any injury, illness, or property damage resulting from wearing, transporting, or storing your costume, including but not limited to heat exhaustion, allergic reaction, or restricted vision/mobility.
