Quotes
Quotes are currently open! Please keep in mind that this form is for 'window shopping' to get an idea of how much you should save for a suit from The Grotto. This is NOT a commission form, and filling one out will not get you a slot in the queue. If you have more than one idea, fill out a form for each one to get individual quotes.
Quote Form
If you want a quote for a suit, but are interested in an artistic liberty commission instead, please include some species you like, as well as color choices in the reference section. Artistic liberty suits will be treated as regular commissions, and you will get a few concepts to pick from before the suit is built. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Safety Notes
Allergy Warnings: Heads are now lined with spandex/lycra interiors, which means the head will still be flexible while keeping the bare foam away from your skin. While the latex content is very low, it's important to know if you potentially have an allergy to the substance. If you have, or suspect you may have a latex allergy, please let me know so I can line the interior with an alternative fabric. (Usually cotton, which means you may need to clean the interior of your head more often) All items come from a non-smoking, pet friendly home. I have two cats in my home, and while I do not allow him near my materials, dander and fur particles can still find their way into the fleece, foam, and faux fur.
If you need to wear glasses while performing in suit, please let me know so I can build the head accordingly. Also, be aware that your glasses will most likely fog up, and can impair vision. I currently cannot offer follow-me eyes inside heads that need to accommodate for glasses due to the way they are constructed.
The interior of my suit heads are very breathable, but obviously limited compared to not wearing a head. If you have asthma or other breathing problems, a fursuit head may not be for you depending on your personal limitations. Please bear this in mind when considering an order. The best comparison is to put a medical face mask over your nose and mouth, and see how well you can perform while wearing it.
Paws of all kinds will limit your dexterity, so use caution when handling glass bottles or other fragile items while wearing paws. Do not drive while wearing paws, the fur and fleece will not provide a good enough grip, and could become a danger to you and others on the road.
If you are ordering a suit with expressive eyebrows, an interchangeable tongue, or any other part that requires magnets, please read this section! The magnets I use are called neodymium, or 'rare earth' magnets. These are very strong, and have been known to cause damage to some electronic devices. Please refrain from using cell phones, tablets, or other electronics close to your fursuit head. They can also pinch the skin if not handled correctly, please feel free to ask if you have any questions about the magnets.

Measurements, and other Requirements
If you are interested in commissioning a custom tailored fursuit, please have ready a reference image showing at least a front and back view of your character. (and side view or closeup images if necessary) If you do not have a reference sheet, you can contact the.grotto@aol.com to either commission a sheet, or I can find an artist to create one for you. Please take note that the more colors your character has, the more the price will most likely go up because I will need to order more kinds of fur. I do have a stock of fur styles and colors, and you can get a price drop if your character contains them. This will be addressed in your quote.
