Interested in free embroidery work?
16 years ago
General
I made this offer on sacfurs.com and only got one taker, apparently people don't like free stuff, lol. So I'm bringing it here.
I want to branch out into more furry-specific custom machine embroidery, but I need a 'portfolio' of sorts, samples to show off to attract customers. To that end, I need people to let me use their art or commissioned pieces to make embroidered patches, conbadges etc from. In exchange you will get the actual embroidered samples for free (I will not sell or distribute copies to other people, they are just to show off).
What I need is colored linework, something I can work with. More cartoony-type stuff only. Shading and highlighting is fine, but excessively complex linework is beyond my scope to duplicate. For patches it needs to be a freestanding character or drawing that can have a solid thick line all around, but for stuff stitched on things it doesn't have to have a line all round. If...that makes sense. If your art has a background and you just want the character its fine, or if there's art you want but you just plain don't want some detail or another, just let me know what you're thinking of.
Contact me with links to art you think might work and let me know what you want (patch, conbadge, t-shirt etc) and what size you're thinking you want it. My max hoop goes to 5.5" by 7.9".
My company site is at http://www.sparkys-stitches.com/ , check that for a link to my Etsy shop for examples of my work. You can also see more on my deviantart here: http://neithersparky.deviantart.com.....ine-Embroidery
I can only do a few of these, and i want a bit of variety (not all patches or conbadges, etc), so if you want in on this speak up before I close. Thank you!
EDIT: I've got enough requests now I think, except that nobody has asked for a conbadge. I would like to do at least one conbadge, so please don't make a request unless that's what you want. Thanks.

would either of those work for your purposes?
and I was thinking maybe having it on a messenger bag...

any of those maybe?
but otherwise, how about 8 1/2 by 11ish for the size?
size it to those dimensions, just try not to stretch the image in any direction, you know keeping the same ratios or what not....
I'm interested, but I have no simple pictures. Is it alright if I get back to you with one tomorrow?

http://kiyarasabel.deviantart.com/a.....a-WIP-44770910 I'll see if I can neaten the lines on this if necessary
http://kiyarasabel.deviantart.com/a.....sign-135596772 the one on the right of these should be simple enough yes?
I need to look through my avatars to see if I have anything more suitable.
i just need to come to you when i have money to spend
Of course I'm always open for *paid* work. ;)
Well ill send you a ref picture as soon as i get one finished then we can go from there :)
