Fursuit pricing increaseI have now updated my pricing everywhere! Full details of the increase can be checked on my fursuit pricing page here on the website.
Anyone now getting quotes will be subject to the increased pricing. The only people not affected by this increase are those currently on my quote club. Your quotes will remain valid until my next fursuit opening. If you are not selected for a commission slot, you will need to then get a new quote at the new prices, or leave the quote club.
Thank you all for the continue support!

How do I get a commission slot?
- Fill out my quote form! Quotes are open all year round, and all quotes are valid for 6 months before you need to get a new one.
- Once you have your quote, you can either turn down your quote, or join my quote club where you will get first dibs on the next slots that open up, or any cancellation slots.
- If you submitted a quote during a commission opening you then have the option to join the quote club, or the shortlist. On the shortlist you will be in for the chance of getting a slot this opening. The shortlist is only available during commission openings, and before the opening deadline. if you miss an opening, you must join the quote club.
After the commission opening deadline, I will go through the shortlist of clients and pick out which ones will be worked on this opening.
- If you don’t get through, you can choose to join the quote club for next time, or cancel your commission.
- If you cancel or turn down your quote, it will be deleted from my form, and you will need to get a new one if you change your mind.
- If a cancellation happens on a slot, people on my quote club will be contacted and offered a slot to replace it. This will be first come first served.
Whats the difference between the quote club and shortlist?
- Quote club: I like this quote but I need some more time before committing
- Shortlist: I like this quote and I’m ready to commission now
What materials do you use / are your materials allergy friendly?
As far as I am aware, I do not use any materials that may be an allergen. I am happy to disclose a full list of materials with anybody where necessary, but if you have any kind of sensitivity I would recommend getting your commission lined. I line everything with neoprene (Not the kind used on wetsuits, as that can be an allergen) except for armsleeves which are lined with lycra.
How long do fursuit commissions take to complete?
Due to the nature of fursuit commissions, I cannot give an ETA that covers all commission types. Upon commissioning, the client will be given an ETA time for their individual suit. I aim to keep my maximum wait time under 3 months per suit where possible.
If you are at the back of my commission queue, expect to be waiting 6-8 months for your suit to be started.
When do you open for commissions?
I am still fairly new to doing this full time and am still figuring this out. But I am aiming to try and do two commission openings a year to keep my workload and queue down.
Commission openings may coincide with convention times so keep an eye out at conventions if you are planning to get a slot.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Paypal invoices are the most common form of payment I accept. I do also accept bank transfers, where the client will be given a small discount, but this form of payment does not come with buyer protection.
Can you make me a free fursuit?
No. The only circumstances in which you can get a free fursuit is if I hold a raffle for one which is very, very rare
How do I make...
If you wish to make your own fursuit, please consult the YouTube series by Kloofsuits and follow along with that. It's how I've learnt the craft and is much more helpful than I could be. I am willing to give criticism and offer advice when asked but I will not walk you through the process. I do also highly recommend Kloofsuits patterns that are sold on their Etsy shop as they are brilliant for beginners and experts.
Where do you buy fur / foam etc?
Please consult fursuitmaterials.com for a massive list of all the materials and parts you could possibly need for making a fursuit or costume. This covers worldwide places to shop for every single material you need.
Is your workshop pet friendly?
No. We currently own two cats and one dog. If you have a serious allergy to cats or dogs I would recommend not buying a suit from me as I cannot guarantee the suit will be free from all contaminants. I can wash suits before postage for an extra fee, but still cannot guarantee complete removal of all possible contaminants from your suit. If you have allergies, you are purchasing from me at your own risk, and I can take no responsibility.
My pets are not allowed upstairs, which is where my studio is located, so they are kept out of that area of the house. But even with this, I cannot guarantee there will be no contaminants carried through.
Do you have a Patreon?
Nope! I don't use Patreon anymore for a variety of different reasons. Instead I use Kofi and their monthly subscription system. This means that almost all your donation goes directly to me, minus a Paypal fee. Kofi is also a lot more stress free and much easier to manage than Patreon. This also makes it easier to people to send a one time donation rather than being pushed to subscribe for a month. I also list a variety of items from my Etsy store on my Kofi for UK customers!

“I am extremely happy with my Nyxia Creations mini partial! I couldn't have asked for anyone better to bring my sona to life. Astra was amazing to work with and gave me frequent updates on how my suit was progressing while also answering any questions and requests I had quickly and politely! The turnaround time from fur selection to holding him in my hands was excellent, doubly so with how high quality the finished product is! I'd highly recommend!”- @RealCaldyro (2023)
“I'm extremely proud to have a suit from Nyxia Creations. My original suit was from 2019 and he's been very recently refurbished.
Astra has been amazing throughout both my suit's original creation and his 2023 refurbishment. Everything being done has been very well communicated and the improvement of their suits from 2019 to 2023 has been outstanding. Astra works very efficiently and professionally and I couldn't recommend a better maker to anyone! The experience is always positive! Any changes or questions I had during the making process were handled perfectly. Highly recommend!”- @ashthehellhxund (2023)
“I now have 3 partial suits from Nyxia Creations. The fact that I keep going back is a testament to how happy I am with the suits. Astra has never shied away from working with complex markings or detailed requests, and is always open to having discussions about what is feasible and how to make my ideas and concepts workable which I really appreciate! The aftermarket service and willingness to check on repairs and offer maintenance advice really makes for the complete package when commissioning a suit. Highly recommended!”- @RevieRae (2022)
“I am so pleased I trusted Nyxia Creations to bring my Sona to life. Communication was amazing. I frequently received WIP photos and updates. Any questions I had, Astra was quick to answer. Turnaround time was also very quick with the high quality I received. Definitely my first choice if I were to commission for another sona. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to commission a suit!”- @HarveyVulpix (2022)
“I’ve had a really positive experience going through Nyxia creations to make my character come to life. Throughout the process I was kept regularly up to date with WIPs, questions and conversations that made the process very smooth. Astra talked me through what colours would work best and got a range of example sources fully discussing with myself what I would like. The process was quick and smooth and very reasonably priced. She has brought Ginger to life and has made me one very happy Corgi! Couldn’t thank her enough.”- Gingernut (2020)
