Raising Funds!

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 8:00 PM

.: Raising Funds!




As of a family discussion last night, I may be attending ColossalCon next year. Since the rest of the family is coming to take advantage of the fact that it's at one of those indoor waterpark hotel thingies, lodging and food are paid for. However, I really, really want a new cosplay, and I've got absolutely no money for one because I don't have a job and every cent I possess is in my "in case something awful happens to Gabby and I need cash FAST" fund. I guess I can get by with Jun and then Deunan's fuzzy elbow cocktail dress (still in progress), but here's the thing: the con is in June, plus it's at a waterpark, so I need a female character I know and love whose clothes are comfortable for warm weather, and who has also been seen onscreen in a reasonable swimsuit.

...Oh, why, hello there, Major :D

So where do you come in? By following this [link] and commissioning some art from me, of course! AND, in the interests of whoring myself out for the sake of making money, if you mention in your order that it's for the cosplay effort, you get to request a picture of said cosplay in the pose of your choosing, within reason and within my own personal comfort zone. Obviously nothing excessively sexual, and there will be no more bare skin than is already present in the outfit (c'mon, that'll be more than enough as it is, right?), but if you've always wanted to have sarong!Major blow you a kiss, or even hold up a little sign that says "I <3 [your name here]", throw me a donation and I will be more than happy to accommodate, plus you'll get some art for your trouble.

Any questions, let me know. Again, my commish info is here: [link]

Because my prices have changed and the other journal was older than dirt anyway. Note me if interested - serious inquiries only.

A * by an option means that you'll probably have to wait a day or two for me to put together an estimate.

---------------
Art

Humanoid characters only, please! Here are my prices in USD:

Digital: (Examples - [link] , [link])

Single character portrait: $6.00 (a portrait of the character from the chest up)
Full length drawing, per character in the picture: $10.00 (includes the character's whole body - any character drawn past the chest will be charged as full body)
Add a background: $8.00

Real Media (colored pencils or graphite): (Examples - [link] , [link])

Single character portrait: $7.00
Full length drawing, per character in the picture: $11.00
Add a background: $10.00

Oil Paintings:*

Price on request, depending on size of canvas desired and subject matter. Shipping will be included in the estimate. Tends to be a crapton more expensive than my drawings just because of the cost of materials. Just so you know.


I can also ship hard copies of your order for an additional postage fee and for the cost of printing if it's digital. If you'd like a hard copy of your digital order, let me know what size you want in your initial order so I can scale it appropriately. I can do anything from wallet-size to poster-size and beyond, although the bigger the order the more you'll have to pay in printing and shipping.

Real media hard copies will just be the original drawing out of my sketchbook, shipped in a flat envelope. Postage is usually less than $1.00.

I will draw up a rough draft when I receive your order and then send it back to you. If you want anything changed or fixed, let me know and I'll take care of it. When the draft is to your liking, send me the payment and I'll start working on the finished product.

Cosplay*

Pricing depends on the level of detail of the outfit and the cost of materials. The price of shipping will be included in your estimate. I do not do wigs or props, and I can't do tailored men's costumes because I only have a female dress form.

Here's a little guide to what I charge based on how complicated the outfit is:

[link] - Simple design, only two colors. 1 zipper, some elastic. Price: $60.00

[link] - More complex design, requires tailoring and some specialty fabrics. Tons of involved beading and embroidery. Price: $170.00

[link] - Extremely complex applique and shape. Made me want to tear my hair out. Price: $260.00

[link] - Three separate pieces (dress, hat, coat). Complex applique and tailoring required. Price: $380.00

Please enclose your measurements (here's a good guide on how to do that) and as many reference pictures as possible in your order, plus the date by which you need the costume. I do original designs as well as anime and movie costumes. Feel free to ask me for a status report any time you like, and I'll send you a picture and let you know how it's going.

Plushies*

Again, the price depends on what you want and how complicated it is. All of my plushes are stuffed with poly-fil, weighted with rice, and have wire armatures inside for poseable arms.

For example, I'd charge maybe $25.00 (shipping included) for Kororo: she's fairly small and just made of felt, although her outfit is a bit fiddly. On the other hand, I have a Briareos plushie in the works that I'd probably charge about $40.00 for - he's larger and made of higher quality fabric, plus he has button eyes and buttons are expensive.

Send as many refs as possible with your order, and again, I do original designs.
---------------

I only take PayPal, so no checks, cash, or livestock, please. I also don't accept offers for art or labor trades. All pieces will have my signature on them, and you must credit me if you display them either on the internet or in real life. If I get overloaded with work (unlikely, but you never know) I'll stop taking new orders until I get the ones I'm working on finished up. Also, I have the right to refuse or cease work on any order for any silly reason I can think of, although I doubt I'll have to.

I think that's about it - note me or comment here if you have any questions.
