like how much for commission?

I'm really not sure, which is why I thought of starting as an auction first =P That should help me be able to price it out

She's gorgeous!

What did you use for eyes and where did you find them?

I actually found them in a local hobby store... PM hobbies I think? They didn't have green, so I had to settle for both blue. Still cute though =3

I would love to commission a plushie.. however I am broker then hell... =/ lol

omg, SO CUTE!
I would SO commision you for a plushie!

There is definate interest from me XD
But I spent my last paycheck on a suit, so no current funds.
Hopefully you'll be open for them when I get more dough :P

omg... It's adorable. You did a great job on it. I want to snatch it up and snuggle it to death. X3

Very adorable, Ravyn! Looks as cute as your fursuit. ^^

Looks like you did very well! Especially for a first attempt. Grats :D

Dawww! She's so cute! I love that face! She looks amazing! :3 And this is a first attempt? Really amazing! :D

If I have some money to spare I would LOVE a plush commission :D

oh very very cute! I'm trying to get into plushie making myself. Did you make up this pattern yourself, or did you get it from somewhere?

I made this up myself, sketched it out a few times just to brainstorm. The shapes I used were mostly inspired from my extensive plushie collection ^.^

well it is too cute. Way better than my first and only plushie, which I even used a pattern for :P

oh wow, it's so adorable. You did an amazing job on it <33 I've been wanting to do something like this for my mate for quite some time now, it's such a cute idea =3

You could make some good money off a quality custom plush like this. IT's amazing and looks store bought.

Aww, thank you *blushes* I'd love to do commissions of these, I had too much fun with this one!

Oh.

My god.

This is the cutest little character brought to life evar

<3 I'm always on the prowl for new plush makers =)

AWWWWWWWWW!!! ^^

She's so cute < )

I wanna hold her I wanna hold her! ^^

awwww....! That's so sweet... And very well made!

I know I'd go for an auction like that. :)

omg shes so cute! well done!

Oh my, this is so cute that it make my dog who could care less about me pale in comparison.

I want one of my character ^^ look cute Silent

That's really great!

That's ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! GREAT job!!!!! <3

I would commission one if i had money to do so :( I doubt i will have money if and when you do them.

I'd be interested

Woah this is lovely! Amazing work you've done there o.o

That's gorgeous! ^^

That is a nice job you did there. A friend of mine was trying to find someone to do plushie versions of people's fursuits. Maybe you could do that. :)

And such a lovely gift for your mate. Whoever he/she is, is lucky. :)

That is adorable!

Wow, that's very nicely done, Ravyn. That's your FIRST try at making a plushie? Cripes!

Can't wait to see how the commission pieces come out, from the responses it looks like you have no shortage of interest!

Damn you, woman of all the talents :P

I should think I'd be interested :)

thats amazing..its so good

Tremendous plushie, or so it seems. I think for true estimations of marvel one needs a chance to hold them. :)

Looks awesome though!

YES!!!

and I think the response here shows ya yer answer, heh...now, for me...hmmm, who do I get made?

Any of your lovely characters would be tons of fun to do ^.^

well, add me to yer list if yer starting one....but I have to wait till classes start before I can pay you. I still owe you for two badges huh...whenever you get around to them.

This is just too adorable, you did a fabulous job!

She's a gift to your mate? Oh geez, now I feel so bad for asking if she was for sale... >_<

Anyways, yes... I am very interested in a plushie! I'm still fleshing out my final visual ideas for "Feral Corey" (pretty close to that drawing I gave you), but I'd most certainly love to have a plushie mini-Ravyn like you had at AC! :oD

Hehe don't worry about it you weren't the only one ^.^ I was actually thinking of doing a grey fox just for fun, I'm too in love with their markings

Ah, I can easily see how she'd be that popular... she really was a cutie sitting at your table... even cuter than Dot Warner, in my humble opinion. ;o)

A plushie gray fox would be adorable; those aren't too common... (around here, at least... heck, I'd be ecstatic to find a plushie of ANY fox around here-- besides the one of an Arctic Fox a friend gave me, that is). I still need to make my "feral" reference sheet though; Corey's not your average gray fox...

I'll try to note you with a relevant subject title if/when your commissions are open and if/when I'm ready to buy one! *yerfle... :oD

Aww you have an arctic fox! *jealous* I can't seem to find those, though they are at the top of my search list (for obvious reasons =3)

It's a Webkinz, if that helps... one of my friends won one somewhere, and it's been sitting all lonely on his shelf until I came over to his house one day. He knows I like foxes, and when he noticed me looking at it with that "D'awwww" face, he let me keep it! I was practically bounding across his room at that point... :oD

Yeah, sadly, I haven't actually seen one on a store shelf yet... but, for you, I'll still keep my eyes peeled for another one! :o)

OH MY GOD!!

SHE'S ADORABLE!!

yea this epic how much =D

awwww thats soo cute i'd love to comission if i had da money but i will soon :)

awww it's so cute and OMG that's a good idea! i was thinking of doing the same thing for my mate cause he misses me so much when he has to take me back home >>

Such a cutie...

I would definitely be interested in commissioning you for a plushie of my character!

very cute

Aww, that's so cute! Great work, Ravyn.

Ah, it's cute. I know I woudl love a plushie of my character.

This is easily as good as most store-bought plushies, so I'd say you were quite successful by those standards. Unfortunately, my standards are rather higher than those of the toy store. Just like drawing, I'm sure you will improve VASTLY just by doing more of them, though. Unlike store-bought, your plushies are made by hand, with love. ^^ That makes them better right away. It also means you can improve, where as machiens will keep producing the same identicle plushies over and over.

Anyway...if I had money laying around, I'd think about it, but right now, the answer is no. I do think you're good enough to make them for people, and with time you'll only get better. Just out of curiosity...how much would you say it cost you, over-all for the materials? I've always had a feeling that the purchase price on plushies was something like 5x what it costs to make it.

That definitely makes sense, especially as it is my first try =P I'll probably do a couple more to get my pattern and skills better. Hmm as for material cost... something around $20 I believe

I've always had a feeling that the purchase price on plushies was something like 5x what it costs to make it.

Hmm as for material cost... something around $20 I believe

Let's see... 5 x $20 = $100

*Eeep! I better start saving up!

(My parents would perpetually shun me if they knew I would pay $100 for a plushie... so I may pay you straight by cash at AC next year for you to make one and mail it to me... yeah, it's certainly a wait, but I think it's worth it... better than no plushie, after all).

*giggles* I was saying that the ones you buy in the store cost 5x what they cost to make. I'm not sure of the size, but that plushie looked to be about $60-70 worth at a store. If that's true, then I wasn't far off.

Oh... oops...

I'd still pay Ravyn $100 for a plushie version of her fursona, though... she may not even know it, but she's done so much for me...

And as you know, I love it!

And totally would commission one from you!!

I would commission one of these. It came our really well. ^^

I'd commission one. I just started looking for someone to make a Mistyplush! This is fate ;)

That is about the most adorable plush I've ever seen! You did a wonderful job, Ravyn, and it looks like you're a master rather than a first-timer. I love how the tail turned out, too. Are both eyes blue or is one eye green to match yours? Your mate is very lucky to have you and receive such a lovely gift.

I'd be most definitely interested in a plush commission, so here's another vote that it's a good idea to consider offering.

Skyfox

Unfortunately plush eyes are very limited colorwise unless I wanted to order them from overseas, so I had to settle with both blue for now. I may eventually order a green one and switch it out but for now it's still cute I think ^.^

ohmygod it's so cute! wow!

So cute! I want one! :-D
I would commission one, but I don't have the money...
You must have put a lot of effort into making it. It's great work!

wow where did you get the eyes i need some for my plushies

Local hobby store, though it was tough to find them. Went through several fabric and craft stores before finding one that sold any. If you can't find any locally, your best bet may be online =/

Eeyup, I used to make custom soft toys and there is definitely a market for them (as you've probably already figured from everyone else's enthusiastic response).

I was charging around US$120 each once I got going - the expense is not so much in the materials, but in your time. It usually took me 6-8 hours to do one.

For anyone looking for eyes, the last batch I bought before I burned out were from CR's Crafts http://www.crscraft.com (I *think*). But they don't seem to have plain black any more...

I love how she can stand and sit! Awe man, I wish I had been able to walk around the dealers room more. Stupid table chains.

I believe that plushie should be locked away... The damn cuteness made my head explode, I want it ^__^

Dawe!!!!!!! *melts* thats sooooo cute!! good job

I would TOTALLY commission you for a plushie!

Dats So cute! ^^ I need to get a plushie of me soons! :D

*jaw drop*

I have to say, absolutely stunning work :)
One of the best plushies I've seen.

This is a very very sweet plushie ^^

If i sent u fur to make it would u? LAWL i got some furs left over from my fursuit :D I'd love it to be put to use. lol
I'll keep an eye out for when u open commissions I would SO want one of these XP

When I open I could surely do that =3 Saves me finding the perfect fur for you, and I'd give you a material discount as well

Awesome I can't wait to make a deal w/ u! <3

I could send pollyfil too if that helps. D: got extras XP

Hehe, only if you're seeking to get rid of it =P I have plenty for a little plush

That's such a sweet idea!! (^_^)

I would love to get one of lupus - then I'd have a little one and a large large large one :P Plus alfa would have something to cuddle when I'm away on business ^^ LEt me know if you do consider doing them!

I'd love to do a little Lupus ^.^ I even have left over fur from the suit

Really! Well that would be amazing! I'm going to have to note you about it ^^

This is adorable! Custom plushies are really sought after, and prices vary. I've seen people price a plushie around this size at $300! It's all personal preference though. Very cute, you should make more of these!

I would so like to have a plushie made by you one day, would be so rad

OMG this is so cute and looks store bought!!! how much do you charge? I might get one in the future from you! if you are still offering them!

I haven't taken any commissions for these before so I'm still wavering on price =P I'll make a post in the future when I'm open for them!

Awesome well let me know!! i might get one from you

I'd certainly be interested, what would you charge for them and do you have a pattern if I wanted to try one for myself?

Not sure on price at the moment, I'll address that closer to when I offer them =P For this I didn't use a pattern but I know there are some out there, if you're interested in trying I'd recommend it! It's lots of fun

It looks like a beanie buddy! (You know the larger plush that "Ty" Makes). It's good and i'd be interested but I would want my fursona's hair on one and I don't have a lot of money. XP

Oh man! You have some real talent for this! O.o That looks professionally done! ^^

I really hope you do commission these out.

You should just charge material fees + a rate for labor
standard prices won't really work if the fursona/character is complicated

It will probably work out that way, or I may have a base price and charge more if there are lots of details

oh id looooove to get something like this from you
this is a really good plush for handmade!
want *3*

Oooommg
I would SO BUY ONE if you were offering these.
Are you planning on doing so in the future?

Yep, likely in the summer when I'm off from university =) I'll be making a post

fdfhsdgsdg I cant wait. c:

aww... that's a really nice plushie there miss.

Wow !
Great plushies

Tell me when you will start your comission for plushies
I will have two or three comissions to ask.

My Fursona Zai and Anko and my Mate ChokoDonkey

Sounds good, I will make a journal post when the time comes ^.^

Yayz !
Coolies

LOL so cute I would totally Love if you did it as a commission I would totally buy one or bid on it but yeah I'm interested in one of those commissions for the future I always wanted a plushie of my character JFoxx lol (yeah its JFoxx3000 from da lol) I just hope I can win if its on furbid ^^"

I actually made up the pattern myself =3

I may have to commission you someday for a plush of my fursona or my mate's perhaps or maybe both. This is so freaking cute! and very well made.

You say you made up the pattern yourself... could it be possible then to perhaps post the patterns on here? You know so other artists who would love to try their hand at making their own plushie can create one similar?

Sorry, just thought it could be an idea <3
Love the plush though! =)

I'd be happy to share tips! But I would prefer to keep the specific patterns private, just because I do make plushes to sell sometimes and want to keep them unique =3

Shes adorable and looks very well made <3
Do you think you would open for commissions similar to this

I did one commission a while back but since then I haven't had time. I'd like to in the future, I just don't know when that will be ^^;
