Cross fox available for commission!

Description

So I bought this pelt from Winterfaux.  Pinging you especially since you were still interested in having her back in your collection.  I'm interested in giving a proper soft mount a try, being that she's so extremely well skinned and tanned, she should be easy for somone with not as much experience because if you mess up the lip skin or something, there's still like 41280418 feet of it for you to work with [SERIOUSLY I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH LIP SKIN AND EYELID LEFT FOR TUCKING WOW, I guess that's why the person who skinned her has pelts that are so sought after??  wowie]

My plan is for her to be 100% poseable, this means a spine, leg armatures, and a tail armature. [though tbh I always prefer the tails to just move freely, so if you're like me, just let me know and I can nix the wire in the tail x: ]
The good news is, I have two premades in progress [though one is already going to a customer], so I will have time to practice techniques for good leg armatures!  So unless this sells like.. right away??  It probably isn't gonna be done first, so I have time to practice.  I can also add flowers or antlers if you want for an additional cost, though I have no experience doing the ladder, so order that at your own risk.  I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard though.

Overall, this pelt is just wonderful!  She has very nice colors, albeit, darker than my other cross, Simba, who has outstanding bright orange on his neck with very rich dark chocolate undertones].  Overall, her fur is nice and plush, though not the silkiest the market has to offer, but she makes up for it with her tail size, for sure.  Her tail is just GIANT.  Even bigger than the biggest tail I have on my wall.  It's just amazing!  Her one downfall is her ears are missing a good amount of fur.  Good news is, I have scraps from another cross fox pelt I took apart for crafts, and it nearly matches the color of the ear fur, so I can just replace it and you'll hardly be able to tell if I can manage.

She is currently being made up to sell as a premade.

US only, sorry.  Shipping is free.  I don't have the permits to ship wild animals parts overseas.

Taking a payment plan of half up front, half within the next 4 weeks after first payment.
I can talk something else out if this doesn't work for you, but I'm not really in the mood to have a customer bail on a commission this size, I just wanna do taxidermy gosh dang it. ;v;

Nose to tail tip:  50 inches
Nose to base of tail:  32 inches

By no means do I anticipate this selling right away because I'm still not very experienced with taxidermy, but the price is a little lower than you're gonna find from professionals here.

If she doesn't sell in about a month from post date, I'm probably just gonna go ahead and mount her up anyways and sell her as a premade.

Sammy's armature WIP by stolen-foxes   If you have any questions, or can give ME any advice, please feel free to do so. Most of all Good Luck and have fun!
