Some background for those not familiar with what I do.  I am a woodworker and wood artist, specializing in wildlife, furry, and fantasy themes.  I carve, woodburn, and scroll original projects for fun.

I am formulating a plan for my next wood art project, and need a little assistance.  The project is for me to build an electric guitar from scratch (or at least the body), and I want it to feature a relief-carved image of two dragons facing opposite directions.  This will be a working guitar and I do expect to perform with it.  The time frame is next March, in time to debut as a submission at next year's Anthrocon art show.

I was going to share some images of guitar body styles to take inspiration from, but I figure it easier to type in "BC RICH" in Google images for the best variety. Feel free to get creative with the shape.

What I need are sketches and general ideas of the layout and positioning of these dragons.  The chosen sketch will be commissioned for the full concept art, and will receive full credit and payment.  Ideas, interest, terms, and questions can be directed to my email: thrashbearATyahoo.com. 

Thanks for reading.


P.S.  I am open to other images, it's just that dragons are what I immediately thought of when I came up with this idea. 

I'm just curious. I don't want to know what the first episode you watched, or your favorite. I want to know what MSTie movie, short, or host segment is the first one that actually made an impact on you. What's the moment that you said, "Yes! Yes, I am officially a fan now!"?

Mine was the short "Out of This World." I don't know why I love it so much.

Whaddya think, sirs?

wasnt sure where to to post this so sorry if i have it in the wrong forum.  

I am sure many of you have seen fursuiters with the big round goggles up top their heads, Well i have been looking for a pair of BLUE ones with blue rims not blue lenses, for over a year now.  I have looked on ebay, amazon, and even google, still to no avail. Could anyone point me to where i can get a pair?

Current Mood: ecstatic

my customer had to back out of the deal and thus all was refunded but the original non refundable down payment, which pays for all the extra features this has such as the extensive air brushing, lion-like mane, fully real mouth and eyes, and moving front leg joints.
so this offer is up for my quad starting price of $2000 i need $200 now the rest i need within a year or before i can send it

i know i could probably sell it for that much on ebay but the skate board helmet to make the head on really should be a snug custom fit to the owner and it cannot be added after the head is built.

so would anyone like to have this made for them for $2000
NOTE: this was built on a 5'11" male dummy with long thin legs and the padding is glued in not sewn as it would have messed with the tension of the fabrc over the shapes

this is what i already have done and the eyes, teeth and whiskers are already made and standing by

EDIT: i have a possible buyer so they are first in line for this offer
EDIT: STILL UP FOR SALE

<b>Name of Artist:</b> Sapphire


<b>Website:</b> http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mangoislandcreations


<b>Character/species commissioned (link to photo/concept art):</b> Character - Shayzo; Species - Spotted Hyena; Link - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2460203


<b>Links to picture(s) of your commissioned item:</b>  http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2463006


<b>Is the item old or new (if old, how long have you had it/when was it made?)</b> New


--Grade each below aspect on a scale of 1 (worst) to 5 (best)--
<b>Visual Aspect:</b> The suit was just as I had imagined it to be, and was better than the concept art I had given to work from (as I had no proper art, just second life work). Grade: 5


<b>Service Aspect:</b> Wonderful service, I had commissioned the suit to be completed for Anthrocon 2009 and that was when I got it. Sapphire sent me regular e-mails with progress photos and kept me up to date with the whole project all the time. Grade: 5


<b>Workmanship Aspect:</b> I've had no problems with the suit so far, it's taken an entire convention's wear and had nothing go wrong with it, hand paws were a little tight to put on and take off, but fit perfectly once worn. Grade: 4.9


<b>Describe your Experience. Pros, Cons, Comments:</b> Right from the first day I commissioned the suit I've had nothing short of an excellent experience, far surpassing my previous suit commission. Sapphire kept me up to date with progress photos and reports, was always well manored and polite, and has gone above my expectations to make sure I'm happy with what I got. Even in person after I recieved the suit, during Anthrocon, she made sure I was happy with everything.


<b>Final Grade (out of 5):</b> 5. I would definatly reccomend Sapphire to anyone thinking about getting a fursuit as her work has been exemplary
