They're all pretty self-explanatory, I think. I've mainly changed the middle two to go to my site rather than all over the place. I've also added a few more links to my videos and streams and whatever. I also need to put more work into my site, but I just have no idea what to put up there, honestly.

I have thrown out my back
Posted 6 years agoMy off-brand Swiffer has a leak, and I didn’t notice until I slipped on it.
This won’t affect commissions. Worst that’ll happen is I’ll work on them in bed and scrub the videos. What it absolutely will affect is streaming. There ain’t no way in the world that’s happening now.
Edit: I’ve also realised that it’s been about a week since I took my pills. A lot of stuff’s been going on that just had me so distracted. My back is no longer my biggest problem; the searing nerve pain in my legs has taken first place.

2019 Commission Terms of Service
Posted 6 years agoI've laid out my terms of service all in one place. You can find it on my website:

An experiment
Posted 6 years agoI am going to try something going forward. The vast majority of what I post goes into the crafting section, but that's a bit buried way down at the bottom of the front page. I'm wondering how much that affects discoverability, so I think for the next month or so, anything I post will be to Traditional Art, and then probably moved to Crafting after a few hours. I'm wondering how much of a difference it would make, if any.
Also, I'm not sure how much I'll be streaming this week. I woke up feeling pretty ill today, and my shoulder is killing me from rushing that butterfly. I'll probably just be working on commissions off-stream all day, and very well may go take a big, long nap at some point.

Commission Stuff
Posted 6 years agoNever mind on that streaming. Something's broken and my bitrate keeps crashing. I'm not in the mood to troubleshoot it today.
I'm still working on commissions today regardless, and there are still some 10% off slots open. The discount applies to your entire order, before shipping. Any add-ons, finishing services, etc, as long as they're ordered all at once.

Trello Board and Updates
Posted 6 years agoI finally got round to updating my Trello board. Since it was all cluttered with potential personal projects I haven't even started on, I took all those out, and will probably move them to their own board.
Which means the board is (almost) completely clear. There's a couple collabs I've been taking forever on, a sponsored project, and a little thing from the forums I'm hoping to get done by the weekend. Projects added to this board will always take priority over personal projects.
Also a heads up, I'll be adding several new items for offer as soon as I finish some examples, but you don't have to wait if you want something sooner than that:
- Badges in two formats, $45-$55.
- New style for partial coverage, $65/page
- New style for full coverage, $75/page
All prices are before shipping.
The existing style requires you to already have artwork for me to use. I've been experimenting with a new art style that will let me draw new pictures quickly, allowing for more freedom of choice. These pieces have also proven somewhat faster to complete, which is good news for everyone. I may offer plain drawn commissions at a later date, but it's not something I want to do right now.
As it stands, badges are a slightly better value than the prices for the new partial and full styles, since their dimensions are bigger than a standard page, but you are limited to headshots only. I will not be flexible on this.
If you would like to make a purchase Commiss.io is preferred, although I do take PayPal as well. Remember, Patreon and Twitch Subscribers get discounts on all commissions, so be sure to include your username from those sites in your order.

Patreon Commission Discounts
Posted 6 years agoBeginning today, all patrons get a discount on commissions. The amount you pledge will be deducted from either the final price of a single-page commission, or from each page of a multi-page commission. I'll be adding badges as an item within the next few days, as soon as I get an example put together.

Commissions + Original Works
Posted 6 years agoThis is just a reminder that I take commissions for a variety of styles, from sprites to massive full-coverage pieces.
I also sell my original pieces at 50% of commission prices - a piece that would be commissioned for $100 is $50 if it's something I've already made.
Everything is up on Commiss.io, but I will accept PayPal as well.

Pattern Collection Downloads
Posted 6 years agoI've put together two separate pattern collections for instant download. The first is all of my premium patterns in one bundle. Individually, they'd be $312, but the first 25 buyers get the whole thing for $35.
https://commiss.io/listings/AjN1
I've also put all of my free patterns together in one download, available through my Patreon page.

Original Works For Sale
Posted 6 years agoHey, guys. I'd just like to post a quick reminder that I've got original works for sale. I take PayPal, Venmo, or Commiss.io. If you head over to my gallery, you'll notice that I've got some folders organised by price. If you see something you want, let me know. Order by Sunday night, and I'll have it sent out on Monday.
http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/madxstitcher/
Putting this reminder up partially because holidays are rough and funds are tight, and also because I'm drowning in finished pieces.

Posted 7 years agoI've got a huge bucket of original pieces for sale, and I'd like to clear some of them out. I had to take two months off work to go be with my grandmother before she died, and now my finances are, frankly, a wreck.
I have everything listed by price in my gallery. Please note that the price DOES NOT include shipping, although if you live with in the US, most of them can be shipped for under $6. Some of the larger pieces will be more expensive to ship. The lowest I can ship these outside the US is about $25.

Who wants to do a collab?
Posted 7 years agoI've got a big backlog of stuff to upload, so look out for that avalanche.
But who wants to do a collab? Ideally, pixel art is easiest, but anything that can be shrunk down to about 100 pixels wide works.
So, because I don't really draw, collabs are a little different when I do them. If you're interested, we'll come up with a general theme or prompt for you to draw. When you're done, I'll turn it into an embroidered piece and send you the finished product. I don't have time to do anything big and detailed, but I will be a little picky about art style, since some styles do work better than others with the conversion process.
Hit me up if you are interested.

FIGHT ME!
Posted 7 years agoMy stitching hand is a mess. It's been recently tattooed, quite badly sprained, and has a massive cyst on it, so I can't do a whole lot of stitching right now.
But I can draw, because that uses the other hand. I really want to get back into drawing more, so signed up for this Art Fight thing. It seems fun so far. I'll get revenge any any Team Coffees who fight me.

Commission Info Update - Pay What You Want
Posted 7 years agoTo hopefully make things less complicated, I've enabled Pay What You Want on the commission types that don't have a fixed price. This should hopefully make things a little more clear, and make it easier to work within budgets.
Commissions are handled through Commiss.io: https://commiss.io/madxstitcher
In other news, I've set up a Trello board for all of my workload, personal and otherwsie. There are about 120 cards on there right now. I'm going to challenge myself to clear the entire board as quickly as possible.

Art Dump
Posted 7 years agoI was cleaning out my hard drive, and realised I had more art saved than I thought I did, so I decided to upload a bunch of it. I might upload more tomorrow, depending on how I feel about it. All that's left is really just a bunch of dumb fanart and quick art cards, so idk. I'll see how I feel.
Pet Portrait Sale - $100 (HALF OFF)
Posted 7 years agoI'm offering three pet portrait slots at half-off.
You provide a photo, and I will convert it into an embroidered piece that can be framed and kept forever. Fabric and dimensions will be discussed. This is for a four-page pattern, which is roughly 4.5 x 5.5 inches on 22ct fabric (my preferred fabric; the dimensions will be larger on smaller-count fabric).
I do take payment plans, and can work in small pieces to better fit your budget. I'm offering these through Commiss.io so we can both keep track of progress and payments more easily.

Patreon Rewards
Posted 7 years agoWeekly rewards have gone up, and Foxy has been made free. I'm also going to go through and add a few more digital downloads to my Commiss.io profile, for people who don't want to deal with subscriptions. That'll happen over the next few hours, depending on what I still need to put together. Not having a permanent storefront for so long has made me really lazy on putting together patterns for pieces I've finished.

Sneak Peeks
Posted 7 years agoStreaming Woes
Posted 7 years agoI haven't been streaming much the last couple of weeks. If you're in the Discord, this is nothing you haven't heard.
June was not kind to me. To put it lightly. It started with my grandmother having a heart attack, and ended with going to a funeral for my husband's grandfather. Non-stop travelling and stress, and being around huge rooms full of people I don't know, and now I have no brain.
I've got the one commission that I'm just going to do off-stream and only release the speed paint for, because it's going to take about 60 hours, and that's 60 hours I could be spending not talking to anybody, and I kind of like that thought right now. But the last few days, I've either spent napping, or being a mushroom in a dark room. Streams will resume when I no longer feel like doing these things.

Patreon Rewards - New Month Housekeping
Posted 7 years agoWeekly reward posts have gone up. Aside from one person, whose Twitch name I don't know, all bonus points have been handed out to new patrons.
Since it's a new month, physical rewards are being put together. Since it's Sunday, they won't be going out until tomorrow.
I also removed a few higher tiers that people didn't seem as interested in, so there's less clutter on the page. There's now one less pattern going up each week, and taken physical rewards down to two items. New patrons still get their pack of four after their first month, and the tier to get a new needle minder every month is still up. The other physical reward still on offer is the monthly commission. It's limited to ten slots, so I don't get totally buried by them.

Downloadable Patterns - One Time Purchases
Posted 7 years agoI've started the process of uploading patterns to my Commiss.io profile. There's a lot to go up, so it'll be a slow process. Free patterns will not be going up there, since they don't have the means to handle free listings. Free patterns are on my Patreon, and can be downloaded without an account.
