so hey. i'm from Poland, i'm 15 currently and i love making fursuits. the only problem is - my family is VERY poor and i cant afford materials for a fursuit for myself. i made one actually when i was 13/14 and the situation was better, but now it's gone. so i wanted to open up fursuit commissions. my "friend" didn't care that i had almost no experience and he commissioned me for a fursuit - a fox. it was warm and i could do all the work outside, so i had no issues and he was happy. now it's winter though and i'm experiencing some problems. maybe even more than some.
first. can anyone tell me if im "ready for commissions" looking at my work? this is important, i want to make suits but i dont want to give the customers anything low quality.
this is my first fursuit made for myself; i sold it to one furry i know (here his girlfriend wears it) for 80 polish zl (about 21,5 USD)

this is the second, a commission i talked about before. made on my own (really failed, but i fixed it some way using epoxy) resin blank. here i'm wearing it

third fursuit, it was like a combination of a premade and a commission. the head (my first fully foam based one) had its face furred, then i finished it like the customer wanted and made him two pairs of paws and a tail. on this photo the commissioner is wearing it

and fourth suit and third commission. working on it right now.

about my prices... i'm a beginner so all i take is the price of materials, shipping and 100 Polish zl (about 26,5 USD) for me.
but here we come across a massive problem. as i said my family is poor. in winter a furnace is the only source of heat. we all (4 people) live in a very small room; i have a little place of my own in the corner, wardrobes are the two missing walls there; instead of door i have just a curtain. that wouldnt be a problem... but my "room" is just next to the furnace. anyway the smoke likes to spread all over the house. add to this the fact that every member of my family smokes... and you know what problem i have.
the second commissioner told me that the fursuit smells like smoke and its easily noticeable. this made me want to stop the whole fursuitmaking thing - but i love doing it and its the only little source of money i have...
so that's the another question. is there a way to keep fursuits not smelly? or remove the smell from them? if so, please tell me only universal ways - here in Poland we don't have the majority of things people have for example in America.
and a question that i want to ask. it could be useful if i ever get to afford a fursuit for my own.
that's my fursona.

i'd want to weft his hair, but the method of gluing the hair streaks to fur seems very bad to me... any way to do this diffrerently?
and the stripes. would it be possible to sew these in instead of airbrushing? i could never afford a good airbrush. i've seen people doing this before but im still not sure about it (i have trouble keeping symmetry, for example)
also, any way to make a movable jaw on a fully foam head? a person interested in commissioning me wants something like this.
