So people have been poking me about commissions and such since I am in the fibreglassing and such commission work as of late so I have a few things to poke about.

I have some commissions underway that have been asked of me.

If you want a commission from me, I would like you to tell me at least three months before you want it so I have time to schedule it in (nine to ten months for keyblades and likewise high detail items). And that will depend on what prop/armour you want and the detailing and painting and such. Best to show me what you want half a year in advance if possible. :3 For the method that I am using, it is near to impossible for me to make it the week before the con. Unless I spend seven solid days doing nothing but working on that one thing and without sleep. Impossible because I work full time.

Because of certain things going on also, I will not begin working on props until I've received half the quote in payment and then I will begin working on it and I get the second half of the payment after the prop is finished. No exceptions, if you can't pay me I won't work on it. This is for my own sanity. :3 Because I work full time, taking on commissions that won't pay me will hurt me because I also have my own props to work on for my own costumes.

I will cover for up to two years any scratches to the paintwork and any things that need to be fixed (unless it was a purposely self inflicted injury to the weapon itself. ie if you are purposely smacking things with it I will not fix a break )

I'm sorry if some of this sounds rude but unless it's for something really special for you and you talk to me about it beforehand, I am not going to make things free for people mostly because my new job isn't going to pay me enough to do that kind of thing. I need to live and have fun as well and these commissions are mainly because I enjoy making things and because then I'll have some more pocket money to use for my own costumes. XD

Things like jewels, buttons and such, depending on the size of the order and how intricate they are might only need on month's notice.

If you want an outfit commission, you may e-mail me about it but I don't do any of the sewing commissions. All of these projects get passed onto however due to the current schedule, there will be no commissions to be taken up for a while because we are busy making our own stuffs. I have room for one or two prop commissions but I think those slots might also be full or will be full soon. But anyway...

That is because people have been questioning me as of late so I hope this clears up any and all questions.

Regarding the borrowing of props/outfits/wigs etc, I also am very particular about lending out any of these items because I've had full wigs go missing, items broken and things returned to me in their not original condition despite any promises or anything going on. It will be case by case if people ask but I've had two wigs go missing already and I am also not an advocate of second hand lending. I will not ask someone else if you may borrow their stuff because I don't want to be responsible for anything going missing, broken and such. :3 I want to be responsible for nothing except my own stuff XD

Anyway, this isn't targetted at any particular person or any particular situation but with the way things are going lately regarding me taking up commissions again, I just wanted a post that I can throw at people to answer their questions.

If you are overseas and want to commission something, you will have to factor in postage depending on the size and weight of the product. I work with fibreglass so things can get heavy. XD

Yes...I really am very spoilt. If I write any details here though I'll be giving away too much information about some things that I don't feel like telling anyone.

But I am feeling very spoilt and very happy right now.

Currently I'm considering looking for another job. Considering very muchly actually. Because I've been discussing some matters about the future and such with my family and with certain friends and it seems that the future that I actually want isn't as impossible as I thought. And the future that I want will probably surprise the heck out of a LOT of people because it doesn't seem like the kind of future that I look for but it actually very well is.

It involves an apartment. But apartments don't usually allow pets right? But we'll see how it goes. More talking would be needed and I'm not expecting this future to happen for another good half a decade to a decade but it's nice to know that what would make me happy isn't impossible. Although I've already been told no cats. But after this past week and what I've gone through and experiencing what it would be like, it's a future that I would like to try to look forward to.



Anyhow. Asides from that, yes I've been spoilt. There will be photos of a shoot uploaded sometime. Well maybe a shoot or two depending on what happens. And I have a few other things that I would like to start on too.

All in all, I'm quite happy. I just want to find another job where I can work and be happy. And look forward to what I have to look forward to.

:3

I'm quite confused but surprised that even though I've been so damned lazy my pageviews have hit an even 10,000. Thank you to everybody for coming to have a peek at my stuff. There will be more stuff posted up shortly. Photos and stuff of things that I have been lazily working on.

Really, lately though I've run a little low on inspiration and passion for things because of a lot of things that have happened. But because of a few people in my life talking to me and showing me the way again I'm slowly picking it back up and I'll want to very soon show the world again what I can offer in this world.

I never believed I was artistic. Never believed I was in any way creative so this is quite a little development for me so we'll see how I go shall we?

Right now I'm working on a few outfits that'll be taken out and played with for a while and soon I'll be working on much more. I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of what I'm doing.

I'm also getting a lot of help and support and ideas from someone who's nicely critical but very good at telling me that certain ways I have of doing things can be so much simplified if I learnt another skill or two which I thought were impossible to learn but they think that I'd be able to pick the skill up. So we'll see where that goes too. :3

I'll try hard and we'll see if I climb any higher.

~Thanks again~

I have been so lazy as of late. I have everything set up and ready to go and I haven't started on it because I just haven't. My room is slowly cluttering back up again even though it's been cleaned up a few times. It looks lived in which is kind of funny considering I spend all the time in my room just lazing around and sleeping. ... I don't know how it gets so cluttered up.

Oh well.

I kind of like Burn Notice. It's such an amusing little tv show to watch on a Tuesday night.

BUT OMG So You Think You Can Dance and Biggest Loser are amusing my so muchly right now. Reality tv is just fun to watch to see how people interact and stuff.

I read the last volume of ParaKiss the other day. Didn't like it. Made me feel a bit blarghy at it. Didn't quite turn out the way I kinda wanted it to.

But really, with some events coming up, it's time for me to stop fluffing about and actually start getting to work. I have a few things planned out and I just have to get off my ass and get started. Then I can have fun with some photos which I have planned out and get some things made up that I wanted to get made up.

Something special's coming up that I don't quite feel so excited about. It's not really that special and I'm not doing anything much for it for this or that reason so I'm going to just continue moving along and see where everything goes.

C.C. is much love. I keep staring at her half finished jacket and needing to finish. FINISH. So much fabric for things that I should just finish. And there are a few things that I need to start form scratch again.

But anyway...that's just me rambling because I'm too lazy to lj or write in my paper journal at the moment. I'm going to do that tomorrow. Time to buckle down xD Whee!~

And I'm sure a lot of these probably won't be made coz...erm overloaded much. And a lot of these will change. If you want me to join you in a group or you want me to make something specific for a photoshoot or something don't hesitate to give me a bell. I'm going to be chopping and changing this list throughout 2008. As you can see, the majority of the list is like...duplicates anyway Coz I'm stupid.

Asides from Kula, Punk Haruhi and Lady, I haven't discussed these with anybody. So yeah, pretty much chop and changeable because they're for my personal solo cosplay only. I'm pretty sure with new games and anime throughout the year I'm going to be hand altering this list (have a printout of it sitting in my folder right now).
