temperance

Yay! The day has arrived! We're moving to our new home and my new studio. I'm a little excited and a little overwhelmed, but it will be so worth it. >_<

Since I will be moving boxes and furniture and doing a large basement renovation for the next week and a half, my internet access will be spotty at best. Obviously I will not be doing any commission work during this time, but I also may not be able to answer emails in a timely fashion. Please be patient with me! If I don't answer your emails in my normal 24 hour time, please understand I am not ignoring you... I'm probably just covered in paint and sawdust under a pile of moving boxes. After BLFC, I will be back to full working order.

Thank you so much for your understanding!

That's right!  I am finally open to accepting new commissions.  Please check out my webpage for more information: www.komickrazi.com

Yay! It's finally happening, I will be reopening my queue in a few weeks!

Mark your calendars! December 1st, I will be reopening my queue for new commissions

What you need to know... Details below:

OMG, about darn time! How can I submit a quote request?
Please visit my webpage for commission information: komickrazi.com/commissions.php
Please ensure a SINGLE reference sheet is included with your commission quote request. Reference sheet should show EXACTLY what your character looks like (including correct colors and markings), and shows the ENTIRE character.

When will you begin work on my costume?
There are currently 22 people on my queue at this time, so I will NOT begin working on your costume right away. My queue will be for a late spring/early Summer start time.

OH NO! I don't know if I will be able to get a quote request in fast enough, how will I ever get a spot?
I do not like to open and close my queue over and over. Personal reasons forced me to close my queue originally, but I am in a much better position currently and I do not plan on closing my queue again any time soon. There is no rush! If you cannot get a quote request in right away, don't worry! you may send in a quote request at a later date and I should still be open.

Hey now, I am already on your queue and waiting patiently for my turn. Will this Queue opening affect me in any way?
Nope, I will continue to work on costumes in my queue in the order listed, which can be viewed at ANY TIME on my webpage: www.komickrazi.com (just scroll down to the bottom).
Any NEW commissions will be added to the bottom of the list and they will have to wait for their turn just as you did.

So!  If you've been keeping an eye on my journals, you will know I ran a little contest for designing a group of fursuits.  The winner was announced earlier this month and I will be making a group of 4 Dutch Angel Dragons based off her design of playing card suits (hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs).

The winner gets first dibs on the 4 suits, then the remaining will go on sale to be worn as a group at a future con.  Here is some information for you in lieu of the DADs going on sale....  if you are interested please keep an eye on my journal.

What will be the price per DAD? $2000 Canadian Dollars (yes, Canadian, NOT USD)

Which con will they be gathering for? Fur-eh 2017 in Edmonton, Alberta Canada (Yes, Canada)

When will they be going on sale? Tuesday August 2nd

Which ones will be available? The winner has selected Hearts for herself, so Diamonds, Clubs and Spades are up for grabs

How do I take part? Keep an eye on my journals for further information and rules.  People may purchase the remaining 3 on a first come first served basis.  Once all the DADs are purchased that's it.

$2000? that's crazy money, I don't have that kind of cash on demand! Not to fear! As with my previous group suits only a deposit of $100 will be required to hold your DAD. The remainder may be paid off at a later date.

I really really want to take part: Hey that's great!  Send me a note with your email and I will inform you the instant the DADs are up for sale

Any more questions, ask below! 

You may be familiar with some of the past Komickrazi group fursuit projects including:
Money bucks: www.furaffinity.net/view/11730…
Vikings! Wolves of war: www.furaffinity.net/view/14825…
Adopt-a-dragon-egg: www.furaffinity.net/view/15898…
Seasons of Red Pandas: www.furaffinity.net/view/18040…

I love making these group suits. Seeing a collection of matching or themed suits together adds so much fun and excitement to fursuit performance.
Not including the original Money bucks, every fursuit project I have made has been at the suggestion or inspiration of someone else. Hearing suggestions from others gives me an idea of what people are excited to see or love to wear. So, in order to continue on this tradition, I have elicited to make the next Komickrazi group project to be designed by YOU! How? Why with a contest of course!

What is this?
A contest to design/create/inspire an idea for a group of fursuits.

What will I win?
If your design is chosen, you will win a FREE fursuit from the project you design. You will also have first choice of the characters designed.

How do I enter?
All entires can be emailed to me at: devon[at]komickrazi.com
Entiried must include.....
1) Your name
2) Identify yourself (link me to your FA account, deviant art account, Alberta furries member page etc.) so I know who you are ^_^
3) What cons you normally attend?
4) Your design idea

What kinds of designs do you accept?
I will accept the following:
- a drawing of the group (for example: www.furaffinity.net/view/93523… )
- ref sheets of each character ( for example: www.furaffinity.net/view/18040… )
- a collage of photos and reference images including your animal of choice, and any colors or symboloy you want attributed to them
- a detailed description of the basic idea (for example: The build-your-own viking, or Adopt-a-dragon-egg concept)

When do I need to get my design in?
You have until July 1, 2016 to submit your entries, this gives you almost a full 5 months to design.

When will winner be announced?
I will decide the winner no later than July 31, 2016

When will I get my prize fursuit?
Once I have selected the winning design, I will discuss with you the best convention to participate at for the group to come together. Once the convention is determined I can finalize timelines on your prize completion

IMPORTANT RULES and INFORMATION:
1) You MUST attend or plan to attend a convention in the next year. By designing and winning a suit you will be obligated to attend a convention with the rest of the group in suit. If you do not attend or plan to attend cons, you cannot meet with the rest of the group and therefore cannot take part

2) You DO NOT have to be an artist to participate. I will accept art on pre-made free templates, detailed descriptions or collages of photos. Even if the art isn't there, if your concept is interesting or exciting to me, I am willing to consider it.

3) If you win the contest, you give me the rights to use your art to produce the final fursuits. Any art you do is yours to keep, but the designs must be forfeit to me to create from. HOWEVER! If you do NOT win the contest you may keep any art you produce as your own to keep or sell as you see fit. I do not and will not keep the rights to any art or ideas submitted to me.

4) Copyright characters and ideas are NOT allowed. No pokemon, My little pony, etc characters.

5) All types and styles are welcome; I am happy to make full costumed themed partials, 3/4 suits, digitigrade, or plantigrade. I am also willing to make both toony, semi real or realistic.

6) You must make AT LEAST 2 characters. There is no such thing as a group of 1. I would prefer 4 or more, but if the design or concept is fun, I am willing to make less.

7) You may enter as many times as you want with any unique designs you have. However no matter how many entries you submit, only ONE will win.

If you have any additional questions please feel free to comment below.

Good luck everyone!
