I found this really old thread about our commission fiasco and at the time was too embarrassed to comment. I wanted to let you know that I finally responded to it, and I am still very sorry when I think about all I put you through to get that suit. I'm really, really sorry. It was a learning experience I will not soon forget. It was my first time taking a commission from someone I didn't know. I'm never taking commissions from people I don't know ever again. It's just not worth the disappointment it causes the commissioner, plus I couldn't make part of the costume due to my inexperience. I'd only made 4 fursuits and refurred 1, at the time. None of them have special padding anywhere. Just sandwich style gloves, which I thought I'd be making when I took the commission.
It's been 3 years and I still feel really bad and cringey about it. I've stuck to not taking commissions from people I don't already know; just because I -CAN- make fursuits, doesn't mean I should. I'm not a professional. It's a hobby, so I won't try to do it professionally. I'll stick to keeping it as a hobby for me to do for myself or with a friend. Again, I'm very, very sorry.
