                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Edit;</b> Added 'how to pay me' info, cleaned out some typos/ minor mistakes. updated some prices.  <br /><br />So today I am opening 2 plushy commission slots. ONLY 2. Because right now I'm a college student in a very time-demanding class. <br /><br />As of now all the money I make from plushy commissions is going to go towards buying a BJD (dollfie) <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://dreamofdoll.com/eng/product/product_view.asp?idx=8F00000411">[link]</a><br /><br /> So let's get to what you guys want to know; prices and stuff.<br /><br /><b>I will do</b><br />-pokemons<br />-digimons<br />-SD chibi humans <br />-cute stuff<br />-creepy stuff<br />-and more. Just ask<br /><br /><b>I won't do</b><br />-non SD chibi humans (I'm still working on making my own original human pattern.)<br />-certain animals (animal faces are hard to make D': )<br />- overly detailed stuff<br />-really big plushies<br /><br /><br /><b>Price chart. Now in Canadian dollar!</b><br /><i> THIS IS ONLY AN ESTIMATE. PRICES WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE COMMISSION. IF YOU'D LIKE SOMTHING THAT'S NOT ON MY PRICELIST (LIKE A SMALL 6 INCHES POKEMON PLUSHY OR SOMETHING) NOTE ME AND WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT<br /><br />Prices DO NOT include shipping </i><br /><br />-SD chibi humans<br />  8in tall<br />  Examples; <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/a-wild-lizoobear-appears-135476105">[link]</a> <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/the-lion-135476553">[link]</a><br />  20-30$ depending on the level of details.<br /><br />-other small plushies (boo, Navi, kirby)<br />  7 inshes<br />  exaples; <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Hey-Listen-144880552">[link]</a> <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Kirby-144880323">[link]</a> <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Boo-144880137">[link]</a><br />  10-20$<br /><br />-other plushy (pokemon, digimon, animal etc)<br />  10-15in tall/long<br />  examples; <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Terriermon-and-Lopmon-127695342">[link]</a> <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Latias-136087736">[link]</a><br />  40-60$<br /><br />-bigger other plushy (pokemon, digimon, animal etc)<br />  16inches and taller<br />  example; <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Antylamon-plush-135472589">[link]</a><br />  70-100$<br /><br /><br /><i> ALL PRICES ARE REFERENCES ONLY. PRICES WILL CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF DETAILS OF THE COMMISSION. <br /><br /><b> A Note About Paying Me </b><br />-I will NOT be shipping any commissions until they are payed in full.<br />-I require a minimum payment of 1/2 the price of the commissioned plushy before starting it. It is possible to pay me in one payment.  <br />-if the plushy commission should be canceled, I AM ENTITLED TO KEEP THE FIRST PAYMENT AS COMPENSATION FOR THE WORK I ALREADY PUT INTO IT/ THE FABRIC I USED. So unless the cancellation is made before I start the plushy, no refunds of that initial payment. If the plushy was payed in full at the first payment, I will be refunding half the payment.<br />- I can take either Paypal (preferred), or money orders as payment method. <br /><br />It should also be noted that I do not have access to the biggest selection of fabric ever. I will use whatever I can find. So far fabric was never much of a problem though. </i><br /><br /><b>how do I get a slot?</b><br />Note me with something like "plushy commission" as the title of your note and describe what you would like (reference pictures are always the best). then I can send you a more accurate quote.<br /><br /><b>slots</b><br />1- friend from school; Metabee- 20% done<br />2- ~<a class="u" href="http://pinkuro.deviantart.com/">Pinkuro</a> - Nyaromon- 90% done<br /><br /><br /><b> Waiting list</b><br />I'm adding a waiting list since a lot of people are asking about commissions. I can only work on 2 plushies at a time, so once I clear one of the slots I'll bump up the first person on the waiting list to the open slot. <br />1- ~<a class="u" href="http://flower-kitty.deviantart.com/">flower-kitty</a> ; Azelf<br />2- *<a class="u" href="http://mamaapex.deviantart.com/">MamaApex</a> ; OC<br />3- *<a class="u" href="http://mimi18hotty.deviantart.com/">mimi18hotty</a> ; Salamon<br />4-<br /><br /><b>Completed</b><br />1- ~<a class="u" href="http://lunanoctis.deviantart.com/">LunaNoctis</a> <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Lopmon-commission-139241604">[link]</a><br />2- ~<a class="u" href="http://nrgeticinsanity.deviantart.com/">NrgeticInsanity</a> <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Terriermon-commission-139653631">[link]</a><br />3- ~<a class="u" href="http://yumeotaku.deviantart.com/">yumeotaku</a> <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/terriermon-the-third-142146159">[link]</a><br />4- *<a class="u" href="http://suppiechan.deviantart.com/">SuppieChan</a> <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/puppy-face-144878693">[link]</a><br />5- ~<a class="u"... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ alright, so after waiting over a week for news from that last job I was hoping to get, I give up. So yes, this means I'm opening up commissions. <br /><br /><b>Rules/Info</b><br />-Send me a note if you are interested in commissioning me with the form below.<br />-I accept Paypal and money order. (make sure payment is in CANADIAN dollars)<br />-payment is to be sent when I show the first WIP. That way you know I'm working on it and I know I'm not working for free. <br />-I draw OCs, RP characters, Gaia avatars and MMO characters. <br />-I can work from a written description. Not recomended though.<br />-I will show WIPs, and there is no revision limit. Unless it gets to a ridiculous point.  <br />-I can draw anime and cartoon.<br />-I'm willing to draw pretty much anything. But there are still a few select things that I can't/won't draw like hentai and such.<br />-I have the right to refuse a commission.<br /><br /><b>What I am offering and how much it costs</b><br /><i> NOTES: all prices are in CANADIAN dollar.<br />           I can add a simple background for free (something like <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Chocolate-127337759">[link]</a> ) Fees for more complicated backgrounds will depend on what's requested. Note me if you want a quote.  </i><br /><br />-Fullbody:<br />    Sketch; 5$ <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Another-fairy-127798938">[link]</a><br />    Lineart; 10$ <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/miku-lineart-127798223">[link]</a><br />    CG; 15$ <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Chocolate-127337759">[link]</a><br />    coloring pencils; 15$ <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Chocolate-127337759">[link]</a><br />    Extra character; 5$<br /><br />- waist up:<br />    lineart; 5$ <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Angel-lineart-102572389">[link]</a><br />    CG; 7$ <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Couple-100103625">[link]</a> <- not my fav sample but that's all I have right now.<br />    coloring pencils;7$ <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/The-elf-100103104">[link]</a><br />    extra character; 2$<br /><br />-Chibi (all chibis will be CGed)<br />    no background; 7$ <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/Lelouch-chibi-113243711">[link]</a><br />    with background; 10$ (background would be like this <a href="http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/art/The-Lizoobear-125581892">[link]</a><br /><br /><b> The Form</b><br /><br />Username: (insert username here)<br />requested character(s): (place reference, description, etc)<br />I want a: (fullbody, waist up, chibi)<br />done in: (sketch(what color?), lineart, CG, coloring pencils)<br />background: (to be discussed)<br />Total: (not including backfround at this point)<br />method of payment: (paypal or money order. I will give my adress/paypal info when everything is finalized)<br />notes: (if you want something specific.)<br /><br /><br /><b>Slots</b><br />1-<br />2-<br />3-<br />4-<br /><br />Only 4 slots for now. <br /><br /><br /><br /> ...I think that's all. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask them here or through notes. I'm sure some things are ambiguous or that I missed something, but this is my first time taking real money commission online. Makes me kinda nervous.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, so far I'm going to be spending a jobless summer. All the projects that I've applied for either never got my application or decided to not hire students. I haven't heard anything about the other jobs. I don't need money <i>too</i> badly, but I still need a little bit to prevent me from picking in my college fund over the summer. So as my very last resort, I'm strongly considering opening up commissions. I haven't decided what I would be offering and how much I would charge. I would also need to learn how paypal works lol (I have an account that I used once to order a wig from e-bay half a year ago xP).<br />So yeah, really thinking about it. <br /><br />I'll probably know next week if I really don't have a job. Then I'll start gathering/drawing samples xP<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well I'm on my laptop right now. Something unusual since I'm sitting right next to my super powerful desktop. That's because my desktop is currently running in safe-mode and is busy doing backups of my important files. I've been attacked by a trojan that goes by the mane of win32.joleee, and what it does is that it slows down your computer to the point of not doing anything. it's also an e-mail worm and can apparently shut down your windows firewall and a whole bunch of other nasty things. it's also very resistant, meaning that even if I did manage to get rid of it, it might just spring back anyways. So I have to nuke my hardrive. As long that I don't back up any registry files I should be good.<br /><br /> It still highly pisses me off though xP I'll have to re-install everything, re-download a year's worth of stuff, find those old CDs that I thought I would never need again, etc... Well at least I'm able to back up. I have to do it in safe-mode because my computer is too slow otherwise, but still( I can't even open folders. it just doesn't respond at all). Just the fact that I won't have to lose my drawings over this trojan makes me feel incredibly relieved. <br /><br />I still want to try a few more things before wiping my hardrive, but I doubt they're going to work. <br /><br />-sigh-<br />Back to monitoring the backup process xP<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well, Animaritime 2009 was this weekend. It went fairly well I guess. I got to meet alot of old friends, make new ones and promote my art a little with my artist alley table. A big thank you to everyone who bought from me or commissioned me! Didn't get to go to alot of events because I was always busy working at my table, but it was worth it. <br />This year I was able to get in the holy 18+ events! xD And I went to every one of them just because I could. It was tons of fun, and hillarious. <br />This year I entered the cosplay contest and won best female with my Azula season 3 costume! With a martial art routine that I improvised 5 mins before going on stage lol. And my prize was one of the CUTEST t-shirt ever! Sadly, I don't have a picture of it right now >:<br /><br />Also on the last day me and a bunch of friends went out for sushi at a nearby japanese restaurant and we ordered literally a crapton of sushi xD 70 pieces in total if I remember well. It was delicious, even though I kinda got sick of it after 5-7 sushi or so. I guess I'm still not used to the taste enough. <br /><br />Oh and I took the train for the first time ever! I loved it, especially since I was with alot of fellow con-goers, and alot of them were friends. <br /><br />So overall the weekend was really fun if you don't count a few misshaps here and there and lack of sleep. I'm kinda sad that there won't be a big con next year, I was getting in the routine of going there once a year. this year was my 4th year in a row there. Oh well, I'll just be twice as pumped for 2011 then!<br /><br />Any other people reading this that went to Animaritime? Anything awesome hapened to you? feel free to share here!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, it's been a while, hasn't it?<br />Over the summer I had lost all motivation to upload anything to DA, but now I decided to kick myself to work. I'm really sorry for the flood of drawings that aren't the best in the world xP Better ones will comme at the end, I promisse!<br /><br />About why I left for a few months... I gotta say it was because I was tired of all the drama going on. Now that it seems that everything calmed down, I guess that I can come out of lurking. <br /><br /><br />oh, and on a happier note, I've been making plushies! Plushie making is somethinng I started 3-4 years ago, but I never posted any of my creations because I simply kept forgetting to take pictures! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> right now I'm working on a plushie of my boyfriend's WoW character, an undead, using *<a class="u" href="http://babylondonstar.deviantart.com/">BabyLondonStar</a>'s sitting plushy pattern for the base. I even plan on making his mount xD I'll do my best to remember to take pictures of this one!<br /><br /><br />Skipping to another subject, I'm going to college now! having art classes all day long is the best! I'm already seeing some changes in my art since I started my classes. More...fluent I guess. I'm also trying out different art styles too. Trying to break away from my generic anime styles xP<br /><br /><br />And so that was it! I'll try to keep updating more often instead of flooding you guys every now and then xP<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, after a year of convincing, my boyfriend got me into WoW. The one MMO I swore to never play. SO I instal the client and then I upgrade it with the Burning Crusade expansion....only to get a message telling me that the authentication key on my Burning Crusade disk was invalid and I couldn't play it? what?? But I just took it out of the box, it should work .__. I want my expansion ;_;<br /><br />Anyways, I gotta say i was quite surprised by the new layout, like mostly everyone I bet.I really like the upgrade they did to the inbox. Having the deviations display as thumbnails is something I was wishing for for a long time now. I haven't been everywere yet, so I hope to notice more of those fun changes.<br /><br /><br /><br />Also, expect a flood of sketches from me soon. I just finished scanning my sketchbook, and I plan on uploading quite a few drawings.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ -contains certain sploilers for the show-<br /><br /><br />Anime marthons are a terrible thing that should not be done. you get no sleep, you barely eat, and you sit at the same spot for hours. <br />.<br />.<br />.<br />So why is it so fun then?<br />I just watched Eureka 7 in 2 and a half day. It was a great anime. I'm sad that I waited so long to watch it. I loved how the show was centered on character developement, not on the giant robots fights like most of the animes of that category. I gotta say, the story and concept was a bit difficult to follow at some points, but it wasn't too bad. I also like how realistic the show was. The side-characters that Renton met rarely succeeded, or truly struggled to reach success.<br /><br />Now, what really bothers me right now was the ending. Like the ending of many anime/manga/book/etc, it gave a conclusion, but not about all the characters. I wanna know what happened to the Gekko after Renton letf to save Eureka. ;_; I was actually very surprised that they didn't say a word about anyone on the Gekko in the epiloge since they all played sort of a major role in the story. When the last episode ended, it really felt as is there should have been another one after. I was ready to keep on watching, but then I noticed that I was at the bottom of my list and that it was over. ;-;<br /><br />Now I'll be going. Gotta get this Eureka7 high taken care of by doodling a bit xD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So here I am right now, in my basic informatic class (that I gave up on because it was stupid....but yet I'm still passing with a final score of 87%) ready to explode of joy any moment now. Today's my last day of high school, I can't beleive it!! It went by so fast! @_@ I'm a bit sad about leaving this place that I love so much, but I have to admit, I can't wait to get rid of a few people xP. I can't wait for the prom to finaly wear that dress that costed me an arm ( it was worth it though!) and party all weekend long. it's gonna be great!<br /><br />Nex year, I'll be starting my first year in college (in art fundamentals!). I've already been there a few times, and I can't wait to be sitting in those classes<br />as a student, not as an observer. I'm also really happy that my best friend is comming with me, instead of moving far away like she wanted to do at first. Living in an apartment with her isn't going to be much diferent of how we're already living anyways xD<br /><br />allright now, my time's up. gotta get going for my final art class. man, that's going to be  sad one ;_;<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ it's this time of the year again. The Animaritime con is only 2 days away and I can't WAIT to be there!!This year I managed to get an artist table, and I really hope that everything goes well. I can't wait to meet many awesome people and see old friends. I get the feeling that this year will be awesome, and I hope I'm right! xD<br /><br /><br />On a sidenote: omg I just finished watching Tengen Topa Gurren Lagann!! It's one of the best anime I ever watched! It's kind of ironic when I think about it though; I only started to watch it because I wanted to know who the hell was that Viral guy. but when I got to the Viral part, I  just keep watching after it, hoping to see him more xD Gurren Lagann art flood should come soon...sadly enough xD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I saw it yesterday and GOD was it good! I loved that movie! I noticed a lot of people saying it's not worth it, but they're wrong! unless you don't like fish people and action, then it's understandable. The ending surprised me, I must say. It's like the storie runs as fast as it can, and suddently decides to take a sharp turn, trips, and falls.o_o Though the Â¨who's the ally and who's the enemyÂ¨ question was sometimes hard to answer, it was a good movie. If you look carefully, you can spot various references to the first 2 movies. oh, and most important of all, STAY PASS THE CREDITS! THERE'S SOMETHING AT THE END!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For a while now, I've been questioning myself on why I draw. Some do it for fun, others to express themselves, ans a bunch of other reasons. But me??? I don't know. is it because I just like it, to express myself or  just because people say that I'm good at it??I know that I won't stop drawing, that's for sure. But the question why comes back every once in a while. I guess I'll find out someday....hopefully!<br />
<br />
<br />
So why do YOU draw?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ wew! finaly got the time to write this! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> First off, the con was PURE AWESOME. Sooo, here:<br />
<br />
FRIDAY.<br />
RAID TEH VENDOR'S ROOM!!! should have been an activity. Half of the attendants were squeezing to get the closest to the 'gate'. When it opened, everyone rushed in and utter chaos followed! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> I was one of the crazy fans <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />; It didn't help that people were trying to get pictures of the cosplayers.I was Toph from Avatar on that day!^^<br />
<a href="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a307/Shanara-chan/Animaritime%202007/measToph.jpg">[link]</a><br />
There was also a bunch of avatar cosplayers too!!<a href="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a307/Shanara-chan/Animaritime%202007/IMG_0395.jpg">[link]</a><br />
the bishi survivor was hilarious! Vincent emerged victorious of that major battle^^ the J-idol was really cool too!so many talented singers! <a href="http://magicalsinger.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/a/magicalsinger.png" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="magicalsinger" /></a> won second place! ^_^ Go congratulate her!! Me and my sis <a href="http://senmist.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/senmist.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="senmist" /></a> (who was cosplaying temari from Naruto btw<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> )spent the rest of the night just hanging out in the halls or the vendor's room.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
SATURDAY.<br />
weeee time to TRY to spike my hair like Axel! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> it failed, but at least I had the markings on my face to make it look a bit more like him <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />;I participated in the masquerade and somehow won the "best hall cosplay".Sadly, I don't have any videos, but if you go on youtube and search for Animaritime 2007, you should find them! ^^<br />
 The anime improv was sooooooo funny!! I have a few vids of it up in my photobucket, I'll post a link at the end of this journal...When I entered the build a villain  activity, I thought about building a villain for a story, like what characteristics give or not to give him/her. Imagine my surprise when I was given a barbie doll and pointed towards a box of fabric and stuff! o_o It actually ended up be very fun! Some of the villains were very funny!^^ We also went at the auction, but didn't buy anything due to lack of money. >< I wanted that Kero from Cardcaptor sooo badly!! ;_; oh well! I'll probably do one myself! <br />
<br />
<br />
SUNDAY:<br />
For Sunday, I wore my Toph cosplay again, but I brought my homemade Midna plushy with me!<a href="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a307/Shanara-chan/Animaritime%202007/IMG_0349.jpg">[link]</a><br />
the only thing we did that day was the plushy making. I made a crappy little Navi to go with my Midna, but when I got back home, it became my pin pillow <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> anyways, we went into the mall for like 2 hours and we didn't bother to take off our cosplays. The look on peoples face was sooooo funny! XD After that, we went to the closing ceremony. Some prizes were given out. I won first place in the art contest in my category with <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/50237066/">[link]</a> ^^ .....well,that was it for this year's con. it went by so fast.....;_;<br />
<br />
<br />
pictures and videos of the anime improv:<a href="http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a307/Shanara-chan/Animaritime%202007/">[link]</a><br />
I'll probably update more pictures, notably at least ONE of my Axel cosplay....<br />
<br />
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br />
<br />
TO BENDING ARTS FANZINE: I didn't forget!!!!!!!! I'm still working on the Toph doujin, it's just that I lack time to do it right now, but I'll update something again ASAP!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>
