Most of the furry ones are "furry roleplays" (most accept NSFW roleplays) and the members take an image off google (mostly commissions falvie made) and mindlessly use the character. The sad part is when the community says you must be 18+ to join. So they are saying they are that old and still don't know what copyright is?

To the adoptables thing,there are also some people who sold character which they really like. Like 2 days after they sold it,they start to want it again - and they are just like - ,,I love them soo soo sooo much,so I took them back. Blah,blah,blah..." When they are people then commenting,they are being rude to them. They can make similar character. Not same, but similar.

I just wanna say, I'm grateful for this guide because I've been burned by scams a few times myself, and art theft is generally horrible to go through. The point that "High variations in art style" is a red flag is, however, also a bit hard hitting for me as someone who's still developing a cohesive "style". Now, I only draw for fun, and one of the big reasons I'm inconsistent is because I draw maybe once every few months. But the idea that if I one day want to sell my art, I'd likely have to prove my own innocence (Which I can do with my photoshop files. I keep them all), gives me too much anxiety to even touch the market. I'm not disagreeing that it can still be considered a red flag, but I hope most people understand that if someone's style is radically different every picture, it could also be the case that they haven't "stuck" with one they like yet. Art styles are tricky.

Whenever I make a commission, I make the buyer give me half the money before I start on it. I then hand them a blurry version of the finished piece before getting all the money. I haven't made many commissions but I think this is the way to go. Even if you, the seller gets scammed, you can at least have half the profit

I’m a young fur- 12 to be exact.

I’ve been saving for a long time and have almost 400$- enough to buy a digi fullsuit from my favorite maker! Before you go off, the sizing is gonna be bigger than me by a little, and I haven’t grown in roughly 1.5 years.

I've been watching your videos for the past few weeks. These give real good advice since I'm thinking about getting a fursuit and I'm getting ready to go to a fur con. Thanks so much. Here's a question. What is the best fursuit bits for beginners (partials(paws,tail)etc)

THANK YOU! I'm always so nervous to buy commissions or other things using Paypal because I've heard many cases of scamming happening and it terrifies me. This video with red flags and tips and tricks really help me with feeling more confident getting a commission done. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this :D gonna add a little more advice for commissioning art, communication! I commissioned an artist to redesign a fursona of mine and three weeks later I've had no email update from them, thankfully only lost a little money but if you don't get regular updates that's usually a bad sign so always ask the artist to keep communications open. I'm gonna use this video in the near future when I hopefully start looking for a fursuit maker :D

Those 11 dislikes are scammers who just got exposed! XD

It's 1:50 in the freaking morning on September freaking 24. IM TIRED. UPLOAD IN THE DAY!!!! Good video bro. Good tips🙂

Actually, all you guys are wrong. She uploads in the US morning, but it takes a while until the video renders. She can't control when the video actually uploads.

Actually, she uploads the video a few days before she makes it public so that her patreon supporters can view the video early. She then can decide at what time the video goes live to everyone.

That title card made me lol harder than it should.

I got fanart of my character and unfortunately the art was traced, and boy the coloring was so good I never noticed until I found the image that was traced! I saw the artist who have the fanart had a completely different style but I was young then and didn't think much of it.

the first few minutes of this video made me realize how narrowly i might have dodged a scam. i was purchasing my current mascot design (the one in my profile picture!) and the person was asking me to cover the fee via sending by friends and family. because i am sort of a cheapskate and i didn't want to pay more than i had to i told them i would but i didn't and i sent it by the service option. they seemed a bit peeved about it. o___o really happy i did end up getitng my boy and not getting scammed....

Pocari: it's probably traced art if there's bad lineart but good anatomy and also more than one art style Me, who is bad at lineart but has good anatomy and has a toony art style but also likes to do realism:

I always love your thumbnails, pocari!

Man. I couldn’t afford something to be scammed.

That one dislike is a scammer

Scam-dom

Thanks for those many advices! Also what I experienced: Always ask specifically, what you will get as an end result! Especially when it comes to artwork. I comissioned one day someone, who on their profile had such amazing artwork wich wasn't fake and that person offered a ych with background. I was like "woah, sure, 55 bucks is okay for the quality" but then just got a simply lined artwork back which wasn't far as good as the normal drawing the person make... yeahh.... always making good researches when it comes to that...

Thank you! I'm planning on starting to do commissions, so this was very helpful owo

ive seen kids selling fursuits out of cardboard CARDBOARD!! of course they didnt know any better but its sad none the less

That sounds like something Ed, Edd, n Eddy would do.

Yeah definitely guilty of not understanding ownership at first, but i did fix it before anything was actually made. I looked around found the owner asked if I could make a suit they loved the idea so permission granted yay:)

Keep on your great job pocari, Im sure this video can help lots of people in the fandom. Even though my English is not good enough to understanding every words you said, but I will try my best to receive the suggestion that you give as much as possible

I have a friend that has 2 fursuits, the first being her sona. She was looking for an artist to make her 2nd one, and she found one that offered everything she wanted, decent price, and was an adorable style. she was looking through the gallery and saw her fursona. She was really heartbroken. :( thanks for making a post about this!

have fun at neonfur :3

I am considered a "Really young fur" but at least I make my own art (Boston in my profile pic is my character who I made). I made myself a suit. Fellow young furs, stop, your giving us a bad name.

Frickin love your shirt. Your video was very informative and helpful. I will definitely remember this in the future. Great video

I did art for someone on Furry Amino, I was asked to help make a character in trade for an adoptable, I made a sketch and showed them, I received the adopt, couple days later they were banned so I set out to search for her owner and was notified that the adoptable I had was seen around multiple times. So I set out to find his original owner. I found them and I was able to keep the adoptable, I decided to also keep the character I created since they do not have the finished picture only the sketch. Thanks for making these points Pocari

I had to do a fair bit of detective work to find them but they're Jinxsis on FA www.furaffinity.net/user/jinxsis

If you're a fursuit maker and you're working with minors, ask to have a video chat via Skype with them and their parents stating their approval and record it for proof. Of course explain the reason you need to proceed this way, if they're legit, they'll understand. If they don't agree (no matter what excuse they use), it's a scam. Always be wary of any client and don't stray from your routine checks, be clear and firm about payment deadlines. Taking commissions of anything is the same as running a business, so you have to be professional. You'll always run into weird cases no matter what, but the best you can do is be prepared !

Pocari is gonna come back on my birthday--best gift 💙

Pocari love you for this i shared it with friends who want a suit made or a reff sheet. they now are so carefull and they also love you for making this vid greets from the Netherlands

i love your videos so much

Pocari i bet you voted yes! 😉

Hey Pocari!!! My name is Spork and I am starting a KZread channel for Fursuit Cons,Tutorials,Speed Builds and much more!! You are my biggest inspiration EVER and I wanted to thank you for shedding light on this fandom!

the budgies in the background: pocari, attention. POCARI, I MUST HAVE ATTENTIONS!!!

Wtf why would minors do that?! I always talk to my mom before I buy a fursuit!

Some know their parents will probably say "No" and try to get away with it. Honestly I think the parents should let the money go through to teach their kid a lesson. The maker could maybe (and yes I do mean maybe) change things up for it to be a "different" character/suit.

Yeah XD I’m a minor and I’m currently saving up for a suit by petsitting. Money isn’t that hard to get. I’m also getting money by helping teachers.

I’ve had three cases of someone using my pictures of suits I’ve done and trying to scam others, luckily no one has been scammed. But it’s crazy that people do that kind of stuff. It’s ridiculous and awful.

Is it still bad if you can't draw tails on your own so you copy someone else's? Because I can't draw tails or paws to save my life.

Just Another Gamer Yes it is!! If you have to take someone else's art, take it and copy it on your own art, then it's stealing, and it's really bad. Try to look at real life pictures to reference. But NEVER use someone else's art. Even if it is just a small part. It's really rude and disrespectful.

Yeah, I refuse to trace. I'll look at it to get the shape, but I will never trace or steal.

When it coms to the stolen fursuit images and knockoffs, I looked on eBay for cheap second best parts or things I could use for props. On the first page, there was a dozen stolen images, most of Quartz Husky and even one of Fluke

At 7:26 as soon as I saw that lineart I knew it immediately that it was texacyote’s lineart, because I’m using the same free lineart for helping me get the basic shape of my hyena Katrina and a cheetah for my sister

I just love it when you click your paw pads together 😄

2:10 the fees come out the money sent over. It’s always good to be aware of the fees cuz I’ve commissioned an artist before where neither one of us was aware of the amount of fees on PayPal sending money overseas was and I ended up having to pay more. I had to look up if there were fees on that and there were so I personally have to adjust my own commission fees for that. It sucks but as long as you’re aware of it it shouldn’t be an issue.

Love your vid! You have very valid points, but I'll kinda nudge my input in here for a sec ^^;; about the whole art thing - I constantly switch styles, since I can never seem to settle on one I like. I also tend to draw both toony and realistic. Some people just have that talent to hop between the two! Thanks for listening to my garbage here and keep up the good work!!! 💙

Had so many issues with this! Someone tried to commission Mushi Magic Suits to remake my fursuit Decon (made by FarukuCostumes) in a toony style - thankfully this maker is amazing and contacted me to check as they felt something was off. They then blacklisted the person. I have also had people make artwork from stolen photos of my suit and try to sell it as ‘artist interpretations’ to claim as their own. So yeah, this happens!

the fact that you mentioned reverse image search tempts me to see if anyone has stolen my art before

YAY! A new video!
