work update
Posted 7 years agoTo those that are awaiting commissions or Sl mods, I apologize for how long it has been taking, but I did not expect for work at the warehouse to be SO exhausting lately. This past month I have been working super hard, and yet people still expect more of me. I have had a few people last week as me if I was okay, because I must have looked as tired as I felt. Been on painkillers everyday for the past week, and it's getting hard to do much with the pain my hip has been in. I have been passing out for 2-3 hours every day after getting home from work, and even ended up passing out at my desk for about 15 minutes at work on Wednesday. I am going to complete the mods and doll that I am currently working on, especially the doll so I can get it shipped to it's new owner, who has been VERY patient. After that, I will be taking a hiatus from all art until at least a week or two after the warehouse is fully emptied out and closed. Once the warehouse is closed (being the warehouse manager was 75% of my job there), then I will be able to have more rest, and so more energy and focus to put more time back into art.
ToS
Posted 8 years agoArgent Draconis Arts Terms of Service
Seller is not responsible to any damage to the doll once it is shipped. Remember, these are Art Dolls, not Plushies or Toys. They use NO glue or sewing, with the exception of clay or acrylic eyes/details if desired, and can be damaged from rough handling.
Bases can be started once the slot has been reached in queue, but color and details will not begin until payment is processed.
WIP photos will be provided on request, as well as photos of the completed piece prior to shipping. Once buyer accepts the appearance of the doll, the sale is final and the doll will be shipped. No refunds will be given beyond this point.
Paypal and Personal Checks or Money Orders accepted.
Buyer must provide proof of age, or purchase must be made by a parent/guardian if buyer is a minor.
Estimated time of completion is 2-3 weeks from the time the doll is started. However, due to my working in Disaster Relief, buyer MUST understand that natural disasters can literally cause me to be forced to put works on hold. Even so, I DO try to make deadlines as much as I possibly can.
Initial Price Estimates and Final Quotes WILL be different. Initial estimate is just that, and estimate. Final Quote will also include shipping costs, and any applicable taxes (so yes, shipping is included in final cost, and varies for US and International shipping). Optionally, commissions may be picked up locally in the DFW area, including Texas Furry Fiesta, and also with the possibility of Texas Furry Siesta or the Arlington Furmeet.
If the buyer wishes to cancel their order after the piece has been started, a partial refund will be given only, based on how much work has already been done, and the incomplete piece refurbished as a pre-made or YCH piece. No complete refunds will be given after work has begun.
All prices are in USD. Buyer is responsible for currency conversion.
While Nintendo tends to be very lenient on commissions of their copyrighted characters, such as Mario or Pokemon characters, the Seller has the right to refuse to accept commissions of any copyrighted characters. NO Disney copyrighted characters will be accepted for commissions.
Allergy warnings:
1) While my father does smoke (and trying to quit) he is very good about not smoking in the livingroom or near my work area. I do my best to keep my dolls and materials away from the smoke to keep any exposure to an absolute minimum. Upon request, I can 'descent' the completed doll, which takes at least 3 days prior to being shipped out, by sealing it in a bag with a pouch of zeolyte, which absorbs odors.
2) I do have cats, and it is completely impossible to keep at least a few stray hairs from getting into the felting. As with the previous option, I can seal the completed doll for 3 days with a zeolyte pouch prior to shipping to help remove allergens.
All buyers must agree to this ToS in order to be accepted to be placed onto the queue list.

Needle Felting Updates
Posted 8 years agoAfter 2 years of practice and hard work, and talking with other needle felting artists, I feel it is time to revise my prices for my dolls. Needle felting is a very time consuming craft, and I am severely undercharging myself based on hours of work put into these pieces. Updated price sheet will be coming soon along with a wider variety of sizes and styles available.
