Milayou

Yes, I finally have my own computer! So I have regular internet access again, and thus can make my triumphant (lol jk) return to said internet! I just wanted to let all of y'all know that I haven't died yet, or given up on crocheting or anything, I've just been really busy after moving last June, and getting a job and all that. I definitely have significantly less free time than before, so I probably still won't open commissions for a while, but I've still been making things here and there that I will try to upload soon.

 

So, other news in my life, if anyone cared to know; I have a job and a car now (woot!). Which makes it significantly easier to buy the stuff to make stuff. I also have a teddy bear hamster; he's so adorable! I call him Sir Galaham. Yes, as in Sir Galahad, the King Arthur knight, except he's a hamster. I'm actually really excited about him, since I got him a few months back. I've always liked hamsters, but I've never actually had my own before. So that's pretty cool.

 

Anyway, I know y'all don't like my page to hear about my life, so I'll try to just get more art up soon!

*EDIT*: Due to unforseen circumstances, I'm going to have to close commissions. Please disregard the rest of this post. If you're still interested, keep me in mind, and I'll be able to open again later.

I will now be charging $7 per hour it takes. As such, prices will vary, but here is an average of what you can expect (keep in mind it takes time to create a new pattern too):
Plushies = usually about 4-5+ hours
Hats = about 2 hours
Simple DS cases = 1 hour
Fingerless Gloves = 1-2 hours (see here: milayou.deviantart.com/art/Cro…)

Add to that a cost of materials, which is usually $5. I will charge a flat shipping rate of $5 for any one of the above items (combined shipping will be slightly more, depending on the order).

Picture Pillows take at least 6 hours to make, so I will price them as follows:
40-50 pixels: $30
50-60 pixels: $35
60+ pixels: $40

Anything much bigger than 60 would make a huge pillow, so please try to keep pictures at a maximum of 70 pixels.
Also, anything smaller than 40 pixels will still be $30, since it will be on a 40 pixel background. Any smaller would make too small of a pillow.

PAYMENT:
EDIT: Anyone who read this already, forget what I said about a down payment in advance. I realize that when taking commissions, the customer would want to see the finished work first, before deciding to pay for certain, to make sure they like the work. So as for payment, I will ask for the full amount upon finishing the commission.

When commissioning me, please have a reference pic if possible. Especially if requesting a Little Pony plush.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

I am now open for custom My Little Pony commission requests. My price for one pony is $30 USD shipped anywhere in the world. However, I cannot offer tracking for international orders. My price explanation is as follows:

$5 an hour; it takes about 4 hours, so $20 for that
$5 roughly for materials, (yarn, stuffing, felt)
$5 for shipping. I am charging a flat even rate, since it costs a little more to mail overseas, but that includes the shipping price and the envelope.
So total = $30.

I accept paypal, as it is the easiest and safest way to make payment. Send payment to shinysealeo(at)yahoo(dot)com. Comment if interested, and i will let you know when you should pay me.

I will not only make custom characters, but also already existing characters, such as the mane six and whatnot. Let it be known that I currently cannot make the larger body style of the males, such as Big Mac, and that I only know how to make one size and style of wings. Therefore, I cannot make Princess Celestia/Luna wings. Anything else, I should be able to do. Here are some examples:

Earth Pony: fav.me/d5nsc7e (I have since altered the pattern to have a longer neck, and make the front legs slightly less thick in the middle.)
Unicorn: fav.me/d5odnxi (I have since altered the pattern to have a longer neck, and I now realize that her eyes and haircut are wrong, so I can fix this on future plushies)
Pegasus Pony: fav.me/d5rshsq
Male Pony: fav.me/d5slib0

When requesting a pony, please use the following guidelines (or just link me to a picture, if possible):
1:Specify pegasus, unicorn, or earth pony
2: Specify hairstyle (i.e. Applejack's ponytail, Twilight Sparkle hair, etc.), and color(s)
3: Specify eye style
4: Male or female
5: Details of the cutie mark

Commissions will be taken on a first come, first serve basis, and I will take up to 5 at a time. There may be a delay if I do not have all the appropriate colors, in which case I will let you know when I can get to your order.

If I have forgotten anything, let me know!

Hey, watchers and other people, I should be starting back up again soon and uploading more stuff. We are in the process of moving this week, so I've been too busy to make stuff, and I've had to pack up all my yarn stuff anyway. But I should be settled into our new place after this weekend, and then I can get back to making more things. I might dump a load of some random little things I've made in the past month too. But I really want to get back to making more of the Time Shifters, and probably some more Pokemon too. I would like to possibly start trying to sell some of the dolls I make, since I'm accumulating too many of them now. But we'll see how that goes.

Hey guys, just wanted to let anyone know who's still watching me, I haven't abandoned my account or anything. I got a new puppy recently and have been completely caught up with training him and all that mess. Also got a baby-sitting job until the end of summer. I still plan to make more Time Shifter plushies, and probably some Pokeymanz too. Maybe I'll put up some of the hats I've made too.

I'm just taking a much needed break from crocheting for a little bit.
