pony poll

[antoj]

i am seriously considering opening commissions for pony plush like the fluttershy doll i already made. however, i have never done plush commissions before and would like some input...

if you don't care about ponies you can just skip this, unless you have any advice for selling custom plush in general...


btw please be honest in the poll, if you don't like the way i designed my plush please tell me. i don't want to market ugly/poorly constructed looking things. :3

i think that's all...really... I'm not going to open them right away, as i still want to make another character (or two, idk) to see how i can fix up the pattern better. :/ I'm worried about doing commissions for this kind of thing, but at the same time i think it could be fun (and a way to make some monies for like, that art book i want and stuff lol)

I would be using the same pattern I used to make Fluttershy (since it would make refining a lot easier if I stick to the same pattern) and she's about 10 inches long from the bottom of her foot to the tip of her nose, not counting her tail which is really long. And then from the bottom of her foot to the top of her ear is about 4.5 inches... so maybe a little bigger than a beanie baby? :I

I've been making plush on-and-off for a few years now, but only recently am I really starting to have a lot of fun with it. I'm just nervous about selling them because I've not done it before.

Pff, from the looks of her in the pics, I assumed she was a big bigger. ^^; Ten inches is quite long, though. My custom Mightyena is 14 inches and still kinda big. IDK man, I'm no expert on this subject. ^^; Price them however much you feel is fair to you and the buyer.

I can understand you feeling nervous. :/ But your plush are awesome, so people will love them. Trust me. ;)
