I used to almost *never* have to deal with this kind of nonsense, but lately the pervs have been coming out of the woodwork. So, brief background. I make custom plushes and occasionally custom costumes for furries. (Follow the link in my sig if you want to see what I mean.) The VAST majority of my customers are terrific people, and don't give me any trouble, but there is the occasional less than stellar encounter.
Anyhow, this is just a quickie. (Should I say "quickie" when I'm talking about perverts?
)
Customer asks if I can make a plush of his pokemon-based original character, and links to a drawing that... well... I wish I could share it with you. It had HUGE hooters. I mean ginormous boobs. And though it was a cartoony sketch it also showed very clearly that it had a vulva, which pokemon generally aren't depicted with.
So. Yeah. Uh.
Anyway, my reply to the guy was that I don't do explicit plush, but that if he wanted a G-rated version I'd be happy to help him.
And he was offended that I would ever think he wanted a sex toy! Of course he wants a G-rated plush, he would never think to ask for anything else!

I told him that if he uses explicit reference art, he shouldn't be surprised if people thought he wanted an explicit product.
His reply was that that the giant boobs were "very important" to his character, so he had to include them.
I think that could very well take the cake right there for my craziest customer. He might even win the prize from the guy who just wanted to "dream" about getting a costume from me and strung me along for several years.
