Re: My attempt
Yote, would sending it from me to you instead of through someone else be cheaper? if you bought it from a internet shop and had it sent to my home address here then I send it to you?
there is always that option.

You could do that and lable it as a 'gift'

just stuff some condoms and a bottle of coffee in there too. Customs won't know what to make of it. If any questions get asked, you just say it's a gag gift, like an old running joke.Valerion wrote:Right up to the point Customs opens the package.Helios_phi wrote:You could do that and lable it as a 'gift'

It's not like it's 50 rolls of fur being imported. It's more like 20m?

Re: My attempt
Use the fur as "wrapping paper" and ship some electronics... Wierdly enough(to my knowledge), electronics is duty free.... Lol!

Re: My attempt
Actually Raven, I wanted to ask you if you could get me some names of UK fur suppliers so that I can contact them.RavenSong wrote:Yote, would sending it from me to you instead of through someone else be cheaper? if you bought it from a internet shop and had it sent to my home address here then I send it to you?
there is always that option.
Also I am going to make another suit for myself with fur that I may still be able to get. Going to be a Orange, Brown and Black fox.
I am trying to do research on the textile importing legislature of South Africa but I am struggling to find relevant info.

Re: My attempt
So I decided to make a second fursona just for my suit making en devour. Seeing as I can no longer get green and radical fur colours I decided to make a subtle yet awesome looking sona with the fur colours I can easily get.
Also on a sidenote, I will sadly not be able to do commissions anymore. I have to focus more on my studies and I can't afford the distraction of commissions. I have passed this semester and now I am going onto my hardest year of my whole course. My postings will be minimal from February onwards.
I really need to prioritize my life for the new year coming.
Anyhow meet Vex ^.^
I will be suiting as Vex at rAge and Geekfest this coming year 2016. As I gain experience with making Vex I will at some stage import the fur for Yote and revising his design one last final time. However I am absolutely in love with Vex and his design. So subtle yet different, exactly how I like everything.

Re: My attempt
So I have been quiet for a while, been busy helping a hand here and there. Christmas was a big planner. Helping my Dad where I can with the new business.
So I decided to spend the last few days of 2015 doing what I love, that is also a reason why I am so quiet because I am busy with this awesome suit.
Been working 2 days straight on this head since the last upload I made and I am very pleased with the result. Going to be a multiple post since there are lots of pictures to come. ^.^
Hope yall like my progress, since I was quite unhappy with the first head actually I decided to make a new one and as you all know getting fur has become quite an obstacle. So I decided to make a awesome sona in colors I love that I could easily get.

Re: My attempt
Quite pleased with it, worked until 11 pm.
Drove around the whole day in search of better materials to make the eyes out of. I think I did a good job with the eyes, still needs some refining touches in my opinion.
What I like about this one is that I completely did what I wanted to do on it. Kept it simple, removed the movable jaw. Made the nose plush and made huge freaky eyes that just screams happy, excited puppeh.
This is what being a furry is to me, this makes me happy and so proud to be a furry. No other fandom has awesomeness like this. Not even cosplaying is as awesome as this.
The nose looks a little funny but once the fur is on it will straighten out by itself

If you mean attaching them, then look below there is a box saying browse, you choose your image then say add the file. You can't upload bigger than 2mb and you can't upload more than five

Re: My attempt
Some more progress.
Adding the fur is my favorite part but it is also the most tedious part as the furring either makes or breaks the head. The ear by itself took 3 hours to complete. The amount of time and effort going into this head makes me think that even R4000 would be cheap for a head. Seeing as in America you can pay nearly $500 for a head and I understand 102% why.
