# About me

I'm a 27 year old artist and wildlife enthusiast, so most everything you see in my galleries will have 4 legs, feathers, fur, wings, scales, or any combination of the above. I like to sketch, and do a bit of pretty unskilled digital art, but my main hobby at the moment is making and selling realistic animal costumes. Hoping to make a living off it at some point in the future. Feel free to shoot me a message. :)

So wanted to tell you We went to a Halloween Costume party on the 27th of Oct. and we won 1st place best couples wearing our fursuits and stuff!

Then yesterday on Halloween at the casino party we WON 4th place [couldn't win 1st to 3rd because my husband's boss and co worker were Judges!] But, we were not expecting to win anything was awesome! And everyone Cheered when we got 4th but were booing cause they were all THOSE WOLVES SHOULD OF WON !

Thank you again for making our paws and heads Worked out awesomely <3 *hugs* Hopefully that shows you do wonderful work and that EVERYONE enjoys it and brings a surprise or a smile to ones face!

Omigosh, that's awesome! I'm so glad your costumes are getting such positive attention, it makes me feel really good to hear things like that. That's the best kind of motivation an artist like me can have. Thank you so much for letting me know, and I'm really glad you and your hubby are having so much fun with your costumes! I wish I could have gone to a Halloween event this year but alas, it didn't work out that way (and the crazy storm didn't help either, lol). I did get to scare some trick-or-treaters in my werewolf costume though, all in good fun.

Just wanted to say HI and say we still love the masks and paws you made us. I cannot wait to see some more feet paws. I totally would Commission some if they are as AWESOME as the rest of the stuff you have done. You did awesome on your suit and my stuff looks awesome with what I have and what my hubby has

Hi again! It's good to hear from you, and thanks so much! I'm glad you both are enjoying your costumes. I'll be posting more of my recent work soon, including another partial with feetpaws. I haven't been working on costumes as much lately because other things have got in the way, plus I recently took a vacation to Ireland (which was awesome *_*) but I'm starting to get back into the swing of things. Really appreciate the kind words, thanks again!

have u made a full suit before? im looking for some one whos don them and how to deal with l-d lights

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MaewynShadowtail In reply to dragonhearts569 [2012-07-25 19:50:47 +0000 UTC]

No, I've never made a fullsuit. I'm in the process of making one for myself (or trying to), and if I can get the hang of it I may start offering them, but for right now I only do partials.

As far as LED lights go, I can wire up a set of two for LED eyes but that's about it. Here's an explanation of how to do LEDs for eyes: [link]

MaewynShadowtail In reply to 01xander [2012-04-22 03:56:19 +0000 UTC]

I don't actually do commissions yet, I just make them and put them on Ebay. This is mainly because I'm still learning and perfecting the plush-making process. If you'd like to bid on any of the ponies I make, I include a link to the auction in the description of each one I post. Next one I'll be auctioning is probably Pinkie Pie.

MaewynShadowtail In reply to generic-jackal [2012-02-20 02:40:46 +0000 UTC]

If you are interested in getting a custom partial from me, feel free to send me a message with what sort of costume you'd be looking for and I could talk it over with you. I haven't opened officially for commissions yet because I'm still sortof new at this, but I could handle one or two commissioned projects.

Your wolf fursuit is beautiful <3 I just fell in love with it. I'm looking to make my own and I was wondering if you had any tips on where to get the fur and the supplies and what not.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MaewynShadowtail In reply to BreeMarie2010 [2011-10-26 22:14:28 +0000 UTC]

My biggest tip is to get the best quality fur you can afford because it's what people see when they look at a mask. I used to use the plain long pile furs from Distinctive Fabric (distinctivefabric.com), and they are decent and very soft but not terribly realistic looking. Recently I tried Monterey Mills' white "fox" fur that I bought from Qarrezel of clockworkcreature.com (though I don't think she has any of the white left at present, just rust color) and I have to say the MM fox fur is the most fantastic stuff. It's soft, very fluffy and long, doesn't clump into messy knots and tangles and is easy to work with, plus it looks amazing. It's what I used for the reddish wolf mask with black markings.
