What is your payment Policy?

I require a 50% non-refundable down payment prior to beginning any commissioned artwork. This covers the cost of materials and other costs. Also, final payment is due by our agreed upon date and/or the completion of your artwork. Finally, the buyer is responsible for incurred shipping costs. My work is all shipped insured with tracking (when available) and no artwork will be shipped until payment has been received in full and cleared.

What is the usual turn around time?

The usual turnaround time for commissioned artwork is 2-4 weeks from the start of the artwork although this can be longer, up to 8 weeks, due to workload, project size and other variables. I keep regular contact with my clients to ensure they are updated on the current progress of their artwork.

What mediums and work will you do for me?

I work in almost all mediums and specialize in wildlife, nature and furry artwork. The better question is, “What will I NOT do?”.

To answer that question, although I am open to almost anything and trying new things there are a few things I absolutely will not do for you:

  • I do not do portraits of people. I might be able to do your Armour clad knight, but I’m lost when it comes to human faces.
  • I do not do wedding or event photography. I am a wildlife photographer her takes photos as part of my work and for references for other artists to use. I do not have the materials required for event, wedding or portrait set ups, although if you need me to paint your pet and have no workable photos, I may be able to work with you to take some for a cost.
  • I absolutely do not, under any circumstances, work with lewd furry art. I will do you couples photos and au natural animal work, (like this) but it must be deemed safe for work for me to consider it.
  • I do not make Murr/yiff fursuits. Don’t even ask. If you don’t know what this is, don’t look it up.
  • I do not work in pastels. Ya this is really basic, but I can’t the texture. I can however work in colored pencils in a way that looks like pastels. If you want that softer style, colored pencil is the way to go. Just let me know.

And finally, I reserve the right to deny any work I am not happy with or do not feel comfortable doing.

Will you create furry artwork or fursuits for me?

Yes I will. Just inquire. The only exceptions are the following:

  • I absolutely do not, under any circumstances, work with lewd furry art. I will do you couples photos and au natural animal work, (like this) but it must be deemed safe for work for me to consider it.
  • I do not make Murr/yiff fursuits. Don’t even ask. If you don’t know what this is, don’t look it up.

 

Will you donate artwork to my event or create this piece for me for free?

Chances are, no. You can ask, but the answer is probably no. I just can’t afford it. In some cases, I am willing to trade artwork for other artwork or services, but this is generally based on if there is something I am specifically looking for and/or have the extra time. “Exposure” and offering to “Like” or “Follow” my pages are not valid trades. There are small, select groups I am affiliated with that I may try to help, but it is uncommon.

Where can I find your Terms of Service?

Style and Design

  • If you have chosen not to provide a reference, all work is considered artistic liberty and no guarantees will be made for pattern or color matching.
  • Weasels on Easels is open to suggestions and preferences on certain aspects of a fursuit and will accommodate as much as we can. Weasels on Easels will not copy other makers work, style or designs. While we will do our best to match your character, there are limitations of what can be produced and it must be understood that alterations from your original character may be nessesary
  • Weasels on Easels will not build a suit of a character that does not belong to you, please do not ask us to copy someone else’s design, character or to create something similar to somebody else’s suit.
  • Weasels on Easels will work as hard as possible to match your desired colors but due to faux fur color limitations we may not be able to attain exact matches.

Any changes will result in a charge for time and materials for those changes and this will need to be agreed to and paid in full before any work is continued.

Sizing

  • When accepted for a commission slot and your commission is about to be started, you will be asked for various measurements depending on the type of commission you have. Please make sure these are as accurate as possible.
  • For full body fursuits, legs and torso’s a duct-tape-dummy (DTD) will be required. You can message us for video guide recommendations. When making a DTD, make sure it is form-fitting and built with STRONG duct tape. The better the DTD, the better the sizing of your bodysuit
  • You may send in your own pair of (VERY CLEAN/NEW) shoes to have your fursuit feet built on. This is optional and does not change the cost.
  • When you receive your fursuit, if in certain cases your fursuit doesn’t fit I will do my best to fix it and make adjustments as stated under my warranty. This does not apply to sizing issues related to inaccurate measurements taken by the customer or a poorly built DTD.
  • Any DTD’s that are made incorrectly as to affect our quality of work, will be required to be replaced at the clients expense. All suits are shown on the DTD to verify correct fit prior to being sent to the client.

If a monthly payment is missed or late, a $50 late-fee will be added each time a payment is missed. If more than 1 payment is skipped in a row without paying the previous payment, the late-fee is increased to $75 until the commissioner is caught up on payments. There is no fee for paying your suit off early, however no payment plan fees will be refunded.
  • If no payments are received after 3 months worth of time, your commission will be cancelled and you will receive a refund minus the down payment.
    • Because of this, we highly suggest you are financially stable and ready to be able to pay your suit over the allotted time as no exceptions will be made.
  • If the initial down payment isn’t received within 48 hours of signing the contract, your contract will be void and you will lose your commission slot. This may cause you to lose priority for future work.
  • Full payment must be received before your suit is added to the queue. When you have paid in full, your suit will be added to the end of the queue and created when we reach your place in line.

  • We love sending Work in Progress photos and videos (aka WIPs), they are a great way to give feedback on your character’s design.
  • However, we will only send WIPs when we feel comfortable with the current look/stage. Please do not constantly hound us for updates or try to rush as this will only put stress on us and impact the quality of your suit.
  • By ordering a suit from us you authorize us to live stream any build time we see fit and use of any and all photos we take during and after this process for marketing, patreon and similar applications, social media, our website and other business related use.
  • If requested​, we can leave the purchaser of your suit as anonymous.

 

Deadlines

  • Weasels on Easels is in no way or form accepting deadlines.
  • All suits will be finished in queue order. Forcing your way to the front of the queue will not be tolerated and result in contract termination. Termination of contact in this way will result in a refund minus the deposit, and cost of any existing labor over that point.
  • Weasels on Easels aspires to work hard to get your fursuit to you as soon as we can but we cannot not always anticipate or control setbacks such as the building process itself, acquisition of materials, personal life emergencies, etc.
  • Weasels on Easels can offer an approximate finish time but we will not rush to meet it as it might affect the quality and appearance of our work and the integrity of your suit. We will not agree to meet specific cons and will not offer refunds for missed con dates. Please order well ahead of your date and plan accordingly.
  • Weasels on Easels is a business made up of people with a range of disabilities. We ask for your patience with health concerns. Keep in mind that we have both good and bad days, so if you see video of one of us dancing, don’t assume that we won’t be in a wheelchair (or in bed with debilitating pain, etc.) the next day. It should be expected for at least 3-5 days off of work after all cons to recuperate and clean the studio for new work. We may not always be the fastest makers, but we spend our time carefully and meticulously building your suits, for the highest quality possible. Having several builders, we overlap work, and share projects to be as productive as possible, while creating, unique, durable, high quality work to suit your needs.

 

Refunds

  • Please contact us before considering a refund. We will do our best to fix the concern or issue you have.
  • You may cancel your commission at any time and you will be refunded the cost of your suit MINUS the non-refundable down payment.
  • The down payment is non-refundable because it covers the cost of materials and overhead to begin crafting your fursuit. We take pride in starting with the finest materials we can get so this is quite an expense.
  • If you have received your finished fursuit and wish to be refunded, you must first ship all parts back to us before your money will be issued back. Your refund will be less your deposit and a 15% resale fee. The suit must be returned in brand new, unworn condition to qualify for a refund. All suits are inspected prior to shipping and all returns will also be inspected to ensure it meet this criterea.
  • If you cancel/void/refund the contract/commission at any time, Weasels on Easels reserves the right to use the materials for other projects or redesign the fursuit and resell it.
  • All attempts are forcing charge backs with your bank or credit card institution in order to avoid loss of deposit due to cancelling your commission, will result in fraud reports to all local and non-local authorities involved. We are real people and not machines. This is a serious matter that greatly affects our business and our makers. Doing this immediately voids your contract and removes all possibility for refunds. All scamming attempts are taken very seriously.

Warranty

  • Weasels on Easels offers a one year warranty for regular wear-and-tear and sizing issues noticed when first received.
  • Shipping is required by the customer for all packages sent to and from Weasels on Easels. This includes repairs, adjustments, DTD’s, etc.
  • After a year, repairs both big and small will require a fee and may be declined depending on current schedule and queue.
  • Repairs can’t always be guaranteed to be finished ASAP and will be finished between other commissions. Please be patient so they can be done well and correctly.
  • Warranty is voided if notable changes or repairs are made to the fursuit or parts without first notifying Weasels on Easels. You should reach out to us for all repairs before reaching out to other makers when possible.
  • Use of the suit for sexual purposes voids the warranty due to sanitation complications. We will not make, alter or change suits for this purpose or that have been used as such. All suits sent to us that are found to be used for such will immediately be returned.
  • Weasels on Easels does not warrant against any work not done by us, or parts by us that have been altered or adjusted by anybody else aside of minor repairs by the client.

Disclaimer

  • Wearing fursuits can be dangerous if proper precautions aren’t taken.  All mascot costumes get hot and have limited vision. Please make sure to take breaks, stay hydrated, and watch where you’re going! Having someone not wearing a fursuit to accompany and be your handler is HIGHLY recommended to help keep you safe.
  • Weasels on Easels is not responsible for any accidents, injuries or property damage that occur while wearing your fursuit. Take care to suit safely and may you have many years of fun and joy with your suit.

Allison has done 2 very nice pieces for me. One was a Windstone PYO Hippocampus that I won from her.The other was a Windstone PYO Kitty Griffin that I commissioned her to do as a Lynx Point Siamese Griffin. Both pieces turned out very nice and I’m very happy with both of them.
