Ready to commission your very own costume from SpiritPanda!?
Congratulations! There’s just a few things you need to know to begin the commission process.
How to Get a Quote
​Check out the QUOTE GUIDE page for all of the information you'll need about getting a quote!
Reference Sheets
Your reference should include:
-
Full character on 2 legs, front and back views (side views are great too, but not required).
-
High resolution, clear, digital images only.
-
SAFE FOR WORK ONLY, any ‘Not Safe For Work’ reference sheets sent will be ignored. No genitalia should be visible on the reference sheet. If you only have a NSFW reference sheet, please completely cover genitalia before submitting a quote form.
-
All markings should be shown very clearly and they should be EXACTLY how you want them to look on your suit. I count every spot and stripe on a character to make my prices. If your reference sheet shows 100+ spots on the character, I will price a suit for 100+ spots.
-
I will not take text descriptions of characters, please make sure your reference sheet is up to date and accurate.
-
No shading, flat color only. This helps me make sure colors are as accurate as possible.
-
No gradients on fur. Please have solid and clear divides between fur colors.
-
Please do not say "this design can be simplified". If you wish for your design to be simplified, commission a new reference sheet showing that design. I will not simplify designs. I suck at 2D art, haha. Please have someone good at 2D art make a new reference sheet. ^_-
-
Absolutely NO AI generated reference sheets or images will be accepted.

Here are some great artists you can commission for reference sheets:
You’ve Been Chosen!
Congratulations! I’ve decided that I would like to bring your project to life!
What now?
Payment:
The first thing I’ll need is an image of a government issued ID showing your legal name, date of birth and photo.
Once that is received, I will send over a project contract that is to be signed by SpiritPanda Costumes (myself) and the client using their legal name. Then an invoice for the full payment will be sent via Square Invoices (or PayPal for customers outside of the US). Full payment must be made within 72 hours of your acceptance. If it is not received within that time, I may cancel your acceptance and choose another project.
Once your costume has been paid in full, you will be officially added to my queue!
Shipping price will be calculated AFTER a project is complete. I require the shipping to be paid in full before a project is shipped.
​
**Fullsuits usually cost $150-$200.00 USD to ship via UPS. I require that all shipments be fully insured, tracked and signed for. International shipping can be much more expensive (can be upwards of $600-$1000.00 USD including import fees).
International customers are fully responsible for their country’s customs and/or import fees. SpiritPanda Costumes will NOT lie on Customs Forms.

Construction:
Everything is in place and it’s your spot in our queue...now the real fun beings!
Material Choices -
I’ll discuss fur and other fabric options with you. Keep in mind that not all colors, fur lengths and styles are available. I’ll do my best to find the right materials for your project and keep the colors as close to the reference provided as possible. If a certain fur type is very rare or does not exist, I’ll alert you of this (usually during the quote process) and I’ll help you choose an alternative.
I’ll not accept fabrics or materials from clients unless I cannot buy it elsewhere. Otherwise, all materials must be purchased by me.
Work in Progress -
I’ll send photos as I make progress. Please do not expect pictures every day. I’ll try to send them as often as I can! Sending pictures through Telegram is preferred, but I can also send them via email. You will be welcome to join my Patreon/Current Client Telegram chat during your time on my queue to watch the progress of other projects too.
The Wait is Over!
Once your costume is completed, I’ll send detailed photos and possibly videos for your approval.
I’ll also send an invoice for the shipping cost. Once shipping has been paid, your new costume will be sent on its way!
Costumes usually ship via USPS or UPS. I’ll always ship packages fully insured and with tracking - no exceptions.
When your costume arrives, please check it over and notify me of any problems ASAP.
Then ENJOY! :D
