Commissions Currently CLOSED <3

Commissions

Wait times vary, but I typically have a 3-4 week waiting period. Around holidays it can be longer. Send me a note or comment and I can update you on the wait time at that moment, but know until I actually place you on the list the time may change.


How do I get on the waiting list?

Please contact me at my Etsy shop here: artisticgaming.etsy.com. Even if you contact me on Facebook or on here in order to be officially on my list I'll ask you to contact me at my Etsy shop.

How much will XYZ cost?

The absolute minimum of custom orders is $100. This will get you hoods, capes, wings, etc. This is for a doll with the average size of 12" tall.


Use of chains, buttons, gems, charms, etc will be an at cost extra.



Dolls that have unusual shapes, are larger, etc are more expensive and prices given on a case by case basis.

• Please send me pictures when asking for a price quote. I won't quote you a price on anything without pictures.
• All price quotes are valid for 2months.
• All prices are in USD.
  
• I won't answer price questions in comments, because prices may change in the future. ^^
• If you're on my waiting list and I contact you (through Etsy) to begin work on your doll you have 3 days to respond. If no response your spot on the waiting list will be dropped.
  

Payment

I take payment through Etsy via CC or from Paypal. Payment is needed when I start the doll, not when you are placed on my waiting list. I prefer full payment at the start of your doll, however, I can do payment plans. First payment will be the $45 non-refundable deposit. A doll will not be shipped until full payment is received.

Shipping

Inside the US:
I ship USPS Priority 2day mail. This includes a tracking number and $50 insurance. You can purchase more insurance if you'd like.

Outside of US:
I do ship internationally through USPS. I can't track your package once it leaves the US. Buyers are responsible for any and all duties and customs charges that may be incurred. My orders have arrived anywhere from 2weeks to 4weeks.

General FAQ

Do you have patterns?
I have just started to give my patterns away! Most will remain free, because I learned from free patterns. I have never made a pattern before so I'm starting out slow. It takes me time to to translate my weird shorthand into correct terms. So please be patient with me as I make them all available. I have started to do videos as well if you'd like to watch me make dolls.



How do you make the armor for your WoW customs?
This is the hardest question to answer that I receive. Mostly because I don't use the same technique for every doll or piece of armor. My next "The Making of.." video will be a WoW custom so you'll be able to see how I do it. I don't have any patterns yet, but it was suggested to me to do a "base doll" pattern, then have little videos showing how to do various armor. I like this idea, but it will take some time to roll it out.

Do you do giveaways?
I would love to do more giveaways! The only giveaway I'm doing at the moment will be for Patreons. More info on that below.

Do you do point commissions?
No I'm sorry. I do not.

Do you go to and sell at cons?
No, not yet. I kinda live in an area that does not have too many cons. I would love to go and will look into doing this more though. I do go to local craft fairs and shows though. Follow me on Facebook for alerts of shows I'm going to.

What yarn do you use?
Colors are a hard thing to find I tell ya. I mostly use Red Heart or I Love This Yarn which is a Hobby Lobby brand. I switch between the two depending on who has the color I need. Both worsted weight.

What hooks do you use?
The hook I use the most is a 4.5mm G Hook. For smaller detailed pieces I typically use a 3.25 or a 3.75.


Go ahead and ask any questions below and I'll add them to the post Thanks all!

Patreon?

I just started a Patreon since I'll be doing videos and patterns. Think of Patreon as a monthly subscription. You can choose to donate $5 a month or any amount you'd like.

Patreon donators can submit and vote on requests for pattern dolls. They can be added to the credits of videos. Also, they can receive any paid patterns I release that month for free.

There are many ways to support me and my work. Following me and engaging with me on social media is great motivation. Links below!

I feel like I should use a better reference. I didn't fight anyone to the death.. yet. lol Yet I find it oddly fitting. I'm sorry for all the spam tonight! I just uploaded a TON of work I've been doing over the past few months. I'm sure it was annoying

Since this is the place I get asked about patterns the most I decided to make a journal letting everyone know that the Tonberry pattern is up, with video help, and completely free.



More patterns to come, I promise!

Hi! ~

Few updates, my Facebook is still going strong with updates. I have some new stuff I have to submit on here. I'm back on Twitter, so if you prefer Twitter over everything else I'll be active on there as well.

I've decided to create patterns! I get quite a bit of comments, messages, and e-mails asking for patterns. I've always said I was working on it lol but now I've finally got something for ya. Patterns take quite a bit of work. Other things I've been thinking of doing is video patterns. I'm a very visual learner. Monkey see, monkey do type person. I'm sure there are others as well. If this is something you'd be interested in, let me know!

Now onto the Tonberry

My first ever pattern (that I wrote down anyway haha) is this little guy!
<da:thumb id="479551294"/>

Now before I get ahead of myself and start selling it I need a few people to test it for errors I'm looking for 2-3 people that have basic crochet knowledge and skill that are willing to try out my pattern. I need people that can finish within a week, answer questions, take a finished picture of your outcome and correct errors. If this sounds like you please leave a comment I'll only be taking the first 2-3 people and this will be advertised on Twitter +Facebook. Thanks for looking!

Update: I found everyone I needed on Facebook. Thanks

I would love to make another "I'm coming back!" post and then.. disappear again because those are fun for everyone.. but sadly no. I've been on for about 30minutes and have yet to do anything productive I think that's why I've told myself not to log onto DA.. I'll get sucked in looking at the amazing things people create.

A few things of note of course, I'm going to actually make an effort to log in every week and post new things. I've been keeping up on my Facebook page though if you're interested: facebook.com/artisticgaming

Speaking of ArtisticGaming I made BuildMyPaperHeart the founder/leader of the group ArtisticGaming. He deserved it, I am only sorry I didn't do it sooner. I really wanted to keep up with that group, I loved holding contests and such. I also shutdown the donation account I had for the group to keep from anyone being confused. There was only the donation I made and I sent it to BuildMyPaperHeart because I think he deserved it and more for keeping up a group that the leader suddenly died on. Everyone there including Milo and Drae, you guys are awesome! Much appreciation from me.

No promises, but I'll attempt get back in it.

Hey all

*Personal Crap*
A lot has happened since my move Personally I've been in 2 car accidents. My only 2 of my life. It's official, Utah drivers just can't drive. Myself and my boyfriend of 4 years have broken up. Which completely threw all of my life plans out of whack. I hope I never feel as lost ever again. But other than that, that was all my personal crap


*Artistic Fun*

Someone hacked and implanted harmful scripts onto my website. I couldn't fix it, and neither could my web host, so I just deleted the whole site. If you head to ArtisticGaming.com you'll see a small wordpress website that I still need to fill with pictures.

My etsy shop though is doing great. So if you ever want to purchase a doll or want to commission one the best place to do so is my Etsy shop: etsy.com/shop/artisticgaming

I'm crocheting blankets. I have a huge one I'm almost finished with of Link, but damn that project is huge. And I have a series of small pixel baby blankets that I'm working on. So expect those soon.

*Jewelry Fun*

I LOVE geeky jewelry. I'm a simple girl, I like simple colors, simple clothes, and simple jewelry. I had a hard time finding jewelry that I loved that also contained the essence of geek that I wanted. So I decided to create my own So forgive me, but I'm going to be spamming my DA with all the new jewelry.

You can purchase all of my jewelry at my second Etsy shop here: permanentinkjewelry.com
