Note me (or leave a comment) if you are interested in a commission.

PRICING
- Prices start at $40 and go up depending on how hard the plush is to make, and the specific details of their outfit/costume
- Shipping is not included in the plushie's price
- You can either pay now or either in half or full of your plush's cost when I contact you about starting your commission. However, there are no refunds, and if you choose to do the half and half method, then decide not to pay the rest, I will sell the plush to someone else.
- Again, NO REFUNDS
- How much would a plush of (insert character here) be? Send me a note or comment below with a link to a reference picture, and I'll let you know!

SHIPPING
- Shipping is $12 in the US, and $25 to anywhere else in the world
- Shipping is not included in the price of the plush


PAYMENT
- I prefer Paypal, but I am willing to put up an Etsy listing instead, but this will add an additional $3 to the price of the plush to cover Etsy fees



FAQ
How do commissions work?
Basically I open up commissions up a few times a year, usually about 5 slots, and I will start a journal called "Plush Commissions OPEN" I will then take the first 5 comments or notes, tell them how much their commission will cost, make sure they are ok with that, then add them to my commissions list. You DO NOT need to pay once you get added to the list, you will pay (wither half and half or in full) once contact you to start your commission, then once I am done with it you will either have 1 week to pay the other half for it, or I will mail it out to you. Then I will go to the next person on the list, and repeat the process

What types of plushies do you make?
I basically make all sorts of superhero plushies, and I do not discriminate Marvel/DC/Image/Whatever, so yeah, I make superhero plushies. I also am willing to make other characters from Anime or other forms of animation, as long as they are humanoid. I do not currently make animals.
I am currently only making plushies with my newest pattern (ex: Damian Wayne), so when asking for a commission, I will be making it with that pattern. This pattern will most likely have some sort of removable articles of clothing, besides masks, usally shoes.

Why do I have to pay for the plush in either half or full now?
Basically this funds my fabric shopping. Although I have a lot of different colors on hand, If i dont have the specific green that your character wears, I will have to go out and buy it, and that takes money. I also tend to use up a lot of commonly used colors (ie. black), so i usually have to buy some fabric before I start any new project.

Im not too sure if I want the plush anymore. Can I get a refund?
No. As mentioned before, there are no refunds, ever. This is because fabric costs money, and making a plushie takes hours, and so if you decide that you dont want the plush anymore, and you have already paid I will either still send the plush to you (if you paid in full), or sell it to someone else (if you decided on half and half).

Oh crap a two weeks have passed since you contacted me about my commission and I dont have the money yet!
If you have not contacted me within that amount of time then I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you still want said commission and so I will just bump you down to the end of the waiting list.

Can I commission a plush that you have already made previously in your gallery?
Yes! I will gladly reproduce a plush I have already made before. However, no two plushies will look exactly the same, and there will be some minor differences, because they are all individually hand made.

Can I send you a design of the plush I want?
Yes! Actually, the only time I will not need a picture of the plush that you want is if you want something I have made in the past.

I dont like the character I picked. May I choose another one?
If I have already contacted you about starting your plush, then no. However, if I have not yet gotten to your commission on my list, then send me a note and you can easily pick a new character.
If you have already sent me the money for your commission, then I am sorry, but I cannot let you pick a new character, because I probably will have already purchased the fabric for your commission.

How long will it take you to make my plush?
It usually takes about 2-3 weeks to make a plush, just so I dont have to rush it and make mistakes, and so that I can make it around my school schedule.

How are your plushies made?
basically I draw some concept art for what the plush will look like, then I sketch it out over a copy of my pattern. Then, depending on the plush, I make separate patterns for the gloves/pants/utility belt/vest/whatever that the character wears, and cut out fabric pieces out of fleece. The plush is then sewed together with my handy-dandy machine and filled with some poly-fil, then the face is hand paint.

How tall are the plushies?
All of my plushies are about 12in in height, but it does differ a little here and there because as stated earlier, my plushies are hand made on a plushie to plushie basis, so my sewing may be different some days.

What kind of environment you , make your plushies in?
I come from a smoke-free home, with no pets. I actually have a lot of allergies myself, so I tend to clean a lot to prevent my allergy induced asthma from getting bad.

I live outside the United States. Do you ship worldwide?
Yep. Shipping just costs a little bit more outside of the United States it costs $25.

May I commission more than one plush from you?
Yes. In addition, shipping will go down for any additional plush based on how many you order.

Will you accept an art trade so that way I can get a plushie?
No.
