Custom Plushie Commission infoHi there! Are you interested in commissioning me? Please read all the info below carefully before contacting me. It's important! There is a form at the very bottom you can fill in. Keep in mind I do not conduct business with clients under the age of 18. That goes for both drawn and sewn commissions. Thank you for understanding. |
Foreword: Please do not email me and request a commission if you're not ready to send the details. Keep in mind, I will not work with adult references (if that is all you have, you must censor it on your own before sending it. I will not give you a quote if you send me any adult-rated reference material). Do not email me if you are attempting to get a quote/Soft Sculpture facetiously (this will result in me adding you to a list of people I will not accept commissions from in the future, I may also pass your name along to maker friends of mine). Unsure if I'm available for new orders? Check the main Home page! I'll update it when I'm open. |
BASIC SOFT SCULPTURE INFO & PRICING INFO:
I have a standard custom two-legged pattern that will be used for the majority of my orders.
Unless otherwise specified, communicated and agreed upon, I will use that pattern for your order.
All of my orders are completely handmade by me. Each one ends up usually about or around 17". All the Soft Sculpture images on my site, minus the large orange/grey Coyote below, are examples of my Standard pattern.
Prices for my Standard Soft Sculpture is $400-$800.
I ask for the shipping cost once it is complete and ready to ship.
I also have a second, larger Soft Sculpture pattern that is about 30-35" tall.
It's also two-legged anthropomorphic style like my standard one,
but for these I cannot offer any accessories or clothing types.
Extra Large Soft Sculptures with that larger pattern start at $1500+.
Character complexity will dictate the overall cost, hence why I will need quote you over email your final price!
I do additional math based on how long markings would take me to replicate.
Quotes are good for up to 6 months.
After that time passes and you decide to get back in touch with me, you will have to send an email in for a new one.
At present, if a character has pawpads, I will only sew the feet pawpads.
For an additional fee of $20, I can add pawpad colors to the hands. Specify if you want that!
PATTERNING:
Pattern edits to either of my designs (for Standard size 17" and Large size 35"), as in complicated tails, wings, alternate shaped limbs or super complicated heads of any sort will run from $30-$250 (this is not charged per edit, as in, per arm or leg, this based on a combination of all the pattern edits for an order).
Massive/big wings will be made to scale with the rest of the plush, so they will usually be smaller and around 6" long each.
I can make larger wings if specified, they will also cost more.
So, if you have a character with a really specific body shape, like a slimmer build or a more muscular appearance, multiple arms, etc., that would count as a pattern edit that would be added to the total quote.
Still unsure if yours fit this criteria? Have that sort of character and you want them simplified in to my standard pattern?
Anything else? Ask!
CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES:
My standard Soft Sculptures is a wearable-clothes-oriented design, and I am available to discuss custom clothing to go with an order.
Standard clothes like 1 or 2 solid colored shorts, pants and or shirt would be $20 each.
More complicated, specially crafted or custom clothing will cost more, like hoodies and jackets.
Things like eye-wear are limited to what I can order online, I cannot make them in-house myself at the moment.
VISUAL REFERENCES:
A clear, visual reference is required. Front and back views are required, a side profile image is also encouraged.
If you dont have a reference that's SFW, I recommend either fully censoring your reference images you already have BEFORE sending them to me (I will not censor them for you, also, I will not give you a quote on a character until the image is censored),
or using free-to-use reference lineart online.
Here is an example I've found online of free-to-use and edit lineart:

UPDATES AND WHERE TO CHECK FOR THEM:
I recommend bookmarking my online queue and remembering to check your emails with me often.
I always email a link to my Trello after accepting an order and sending the invoice.
Both email and Trello are the best ways to keep on top of updates.
I do not typically ship overseas. Exceptions could be made.
Please be patient when it comes to completion times, my personal life can get hectic!
Soft Sculpture turnaround time is around a month, but life can make this schedule vary slightly.
In the winter months I am especially busy, so if you're considering a Christmas gift for someone, it's best to order in advance!
PAYMENT:
- Payment will be through PayPal (USD) only.
- Payment plans can be arranged.
(Maximum of 3 installments. Full price must be paid within 2 weeks.)
- A 30% deposit of the price I quote you will be required up front.
I cannot refund this deposit, as it is used for immediately ordering materials and assuring you want the slot.
-Refunds are not available once I've started work on it, since once I have pieces cut out, I can't go back.
Only attempt to order a Soft Sculpture if you're completely assured you can pay for it. This is a luxury item!
Thank you for understanding.
SHIPPING:
Shipping cost is NOT included in the quote price.
I will notify you a few days before it's ready to be shipped to confirm your shipping address.
Typically, shipping rates are ~$12-$30 for a Standard Soft Sculpture.
My larger size dolls (35") will cost more to ship and varies each time. I may ship a part of it un-stuffed.
I cannot control the cost of shipping, so thank you for understanding that!
TERMS & MISC.:
I reserve the right to turn down a commission for any reason.
I will not make a Soft Sculpture of character(s) that are owned by someone else, unless they consent to it (I must have some kind of proof).
If you're ordering for a gift, you MUST state so.
I'll email updates to the person who ordered the gift, not the recipient (unless I'm asked to and provided their contact information).
If an order goes unclaimed for a month after completion, I will begin the process of reselling/listing the item.
Small changes/edits to the finished item will be made, so the original character design remains intact.
Just the physical item itself will be changed design wise by me as to avoid infringing.
I have a limited guarantee available to each of my customers.
If within 3 months of the ship-out date, a dire need to repair a major piece on the item, as in a large rip/tear happens by mistake or accident, the customer can pay to ship it back to me and I will repair it free of charge (If I must re-fabricate a part however, that might have a small fee).
I will not make anatomically accurate Soft Sculptures, or any sort of specific designated alteration to include things like zippers or velcro for removing stuffing or the like. Furthermore, unauthorized alterations made by client or anyone other than myself to my Soft Sculptures after they're shipped out, automatically voids the guarantee. I also will not accept a item back to repair it if/after it's been drastically altered.
Currently, I do not make human-shaped Soft Sculptures.
~ I would LOVE to make more of, but never see orders from~ :
Pokemon-based/Digimon-based original characters (original characters only).
