Hey guys, so here’s the thing. I want to spend a nice day with one of my close friends that is a classmate at school, and a few of her girl friends at the local spa, and I’ve already gotten the whole, “If you want to do this you need to raise money for it” from mother. Already asked, yea … thanks mom ._.” SOOOO guess what??? I need to make commissions FAST!!! Cause I think we’re planning on doing this late June during our summer vacation so that leaves me with a month and half to raise a decent amount of money. My initial goal is to raise to $200 because I’m going for the packages and that one in particular includes Salt Glow, Classic Manicure & Pedicure, Express Facial and Spa Luncheon. *purrs at the thought*

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

So how does it go for me to raise some moolah?

First off, considering the time I spent on this piece here:

http://starwishermidnight.deviantar.....ence-300080137

I’m offering that as an option. That’s right! Your own personal portrait of the real you! Don’t worry, I WONT post this on DA if you don’t want me to. I respect your right to privacy and if you wish for me to not share the real you publicly, I won’t ~

Now what am I offering? Considering I spent 36-48 hours initially on this piece in Photoshop, and I put ALL my effort into it to get it perfect to my extent, I think having asking $10-$15 a piece is a fair price.

Prices will vary, depending:
- Amount of facial details you want as well as the folds and details on clothing, especially for costumes and dresses
- Extra accessories like hair clips, make up and glasses added on
- Whether you want some sort of theme in the background
(I know people like to have borders of some design)
- Whether you want to be holding something like a flower, fan or a family pooch. (Also counts if they are on your shoulder, that’s extra work added on plus proper animal anatomy)

You may also choose someone else to be the portrait, it doesn’t have to be just you. Even if you want a anime character humanized, I will do my best to draw them in my style (because I have been developing more realism-esque style lately)


and second, there’s the plushies:
As always I will do any size, any pose, any gesture, any character from any cartoon. There is a catch though, it seems lately I’ve been spending more than making a profit, so I’ll set these set prices right now:

12” or lower - $30

14” – 3ft (36”) - $40

4ft – 6ft - $50

Why are these prices so high? Because I nearly spend $20-$30 just for the materials for a 12” alone, reality check people XD; I needs the money to get the supplies. Also, I must ask an additional $5-$10 for shipping both national and international. I will ship anywhere plus I will always try to get as best to expedited shipping as I can ~

I am working on a large rainbowdash this weekend, as soon as I finish her, I will add her here too ~

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Please send me a note if you’re interested, I’m really needing to save the money and if you can’t afford this, PLEASE spread the word!!!! Taking as many slots as I can to save up for this event. I REALLY want to be part of this .w.

... is not the plush ...

I dare say, "I can live without that" (as I have probably already said that like 20 times already) but regardless, I really can always make another one later. However ... there is one thing I CAN-NOT replace later ... it's the Sailor Moon DVDs. Yes I am a dedicated fan, I admit, I AM A MOONIE. I know it doesn't show cause im not active drawing on it and it doesn't show cause i don't have much of a collection for it ... but i still watch it and I am slowly collecting it again. So FAR my collection is: The english dub Doom Series on VHS (half of season 2) and 1 Super Sailor Moon Movie VHS Japanese with english sub, 1 Super Sailor Moon doll with Luna Keychain, 2 BSSM re-released mangas, volumes 1 & 2 (going to get the 3rd soon) and 2 of the Codename Sailor V re-relase mangas. I also have now my newest item, the idkwhatyearitis illustration novel comic with original japanese kanjii in color of the scenes from the scouts going to D-Point and elapsed memory of Moon Kingdom to the final battle between Princess Serenity (Sailor Moon) and Queen Berryl.

and yes I know I have said this before ... but like I said in my previous journal, "i've never felt so emotional for something before ... and believe me when i say this. this is FAR greater than owning the possession of a pokeplush. this is greater, cause if you all don't recall, sailor moon was like ... one of the best things ever in the 90s and sailor moon really was my childhood ..." and I want to own a legit copy of the Sailor Moon DVDs and hell I will RAISE MONEY to get them!!! I have literally spent practically all weekend this past doing research and I know what to look for now when it comes to bootlegs. Unfortunately A LOT of stuff these days are bootlegs and I don't want to take the risk, so I will use my cumulative time to raise money and purchase legit box sets according to moonkitty.net and collect them one by one. If you don't know what moonkitty.net is, you should check them out cause they discuss how to tell genuine reigon 1 and region 2 dvds from the bootlegs. (in case you don't know reigon basically means where your dvds can be played; what parts of the world it can be played in and work correctly)

Anyways ... back to the point of this journal.
My wish is to start off the collection with Box 1 of Sailor Moon box sets:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images.....500_AA300_.jpg
Sailor Moon - Season One - Complete and Uncut (Japanese language edition) (1995)

I am asking to either get that directly, OR to get money -eventually- equal to the value of that.

Here's all their current listings for amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list.....;condition=all

If were someone were to directly get it, I am only asking that no matter the price, PLEASE make sure it says "reigon 1" or "no-bootleg" in the seller's descriptions of the listings as well as make sure that none of the dvds are missing. FYI, my birthday isn't for another couple of months so you HAVE TIME if you decide to do to it .w.

That being said ... If you really do do that, that would do me wonders beyond relief *wwwww* (hat would be more than happy for me and it would be pretty cool to get this for my bday) OR if you don't do it, bday money towards it would be fabulous ~

and if you decide to give money towards it, I also do my commissions!!!! Please check out my prices, I try to be reasonable: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3057851/

As I said before, I know you all are like ... "but Midnight ... didn't you say something like this before for <this item>?" yes I did ... but come on guys ... believe me when I wrote it in journal format, I wrote it as a BUCKET LIST!!! that's pretty big to say something like that don't you think? and I know you probably won't believe me ... and that's fine, there are friends I know that know when I want something, I will stop at nothing to get it.

So if you want to help me, that'd be fantastic, if not, that's fine, I will figure out things my own way, somehow ...

What's on schedule for today:
- none

4. I must ask that itd be a pre-pay commission. I realise that in the past, Ive dwelled my commissions a bit, but thats only because school gets in the way. However, I will work really hard this time to get commission done and fast no matter what. As always, I prefer Paypal thank you. Regardless, I will post a W.I.P sketch if its digital art, then, traditional or digital, I will post the finished art on my gallery. You see, you comment, you fav.

5. If its digital art, its done. However, if its traditional or if its a sculpture and you want it, I must ask that you send a legit address note to me, can be p.o. or street, but it must be real since I am sending it to you. I must also ask that if you ask for me to send the art to you, please please PLEASE dont share my personal information with anyone else other than yourself. Im not going around and showing off your address so you shouldnt do the same with mine.

Thanks in advance for all interests !
