Beetlecat



For my first submission to my blog, I have decided to make a review of an artist who goes by the screen name Beetlecat. I find her work to be of extreme high quality and top-notch craftsmanship. She has developed such a unique and new style that I have not seen by any other artist of her medium-and it sets her work aside other makers for being delightfully unique. She has developed an artistic style of mascot suits that is a delightful mixture of realism and "toony" styles.
                Her airbrush techniques are no doubt extremely advanced and can transform a flat-colored head or body piece to a very complex and layered work of artistic mastery.  
An example of this is below:

                                           After Airbrushing

                She often provides many examples of her work to any curious customer to make their decision on whether or not they would like to make such a purchase from her. The costs of these suits are no stranger to any self-proclaimed “furry” or avid follower of personalized mascot suits. Her prices I believe, are extremely fair for such quality you will receive for an end product.
                Another delightful thing that Beetlecat-aside from keeping her real name hidden- is that she is submitting many things for her own artist blog. This gives her business more of a personalized feeling. Commissioners who are looking to buy her work are greeted with good communication, and are able to see work in progress that she posts to her own personal blog. It feels much more like working with a real person who possesses a sweet personality- aside from other makers who give off the feel of working with a faceless corporation.  You can find her official artist website here and her blog here
