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

[Poll #1748779]

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 honestly can't put a value on those plush, because to me, they're priceless. <3 Herp derp, corny reply, I know. Fluttershy is gorgeous! I'd be willing to place a good $ amount on one of your plush, depending on how much I can burn. S'not like I get paid a lot at work. :/ But perhaps if there were payment installments, I would seriously consider it. :D

I'd be interested in Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, or my OC pony. :3

Aww LOL that's super nice of you. I was mostly asking that to get an idea of what to price them, because I seriously have no idea. c.c I want to be fair, you know? Depending on what I decide I could probably offer payments and stuff too.

ooo and you have an OC Pony?? :D

♥ Always consider time and materials when thinking of a price. You wanna get paid for your time making it. Also, size plays a factor. The larger, the pricier. I've never done a custom before, so I'm referring to what I've seen others do.

I do! :D http://yaoi-queen.livejournal.com/83109.html

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. ;)
