So, I have fabric. Lots, and lots, and lots of fabric, and I want it to go away. Thus, I'm offering DISCOUNTED COMMISSIONS! If you commission a plush from me that I can make entirely out of fabric that I already have in my possession, it will be severely discounted! The cost will only be for the time and effort I'll put into the plush, and not the materials I make it from.
General Rules:
Paypal only!
I prefer to do two payments: payment for the labor cost upfront, and shipping after the plush is made
Payment plans are a-okay as long as at least 1/3 of the cost is paid upfront
You can still order custom plush that have fabrics I don't already have, it will just be the full cost
You can combine shipping with stuff from my sales post!
Trading is awesome. I'd love to work out an art trade or a trade for merchandise in exchange for a plush!
I can make more than just Pokémon! Any other animals/creatures/whatevers are more than welcome. :D
For the time being I will not be making humanoid plush.
Concerning shipping: I can give you a most likely correct guess, but I won't know an approximate shipping amount until the plush is finished.
Also, I am not responsible for lost packages and the like. If you want tracking or insurance let me know, and I'll add it in to my calculations!
So can you make ___?
The answer is: maybe. I have a LOT of fabric, but I don't have every shade of every color! So it's best to just ask if I think I can make a plushie with what I have available. I'll go ahead and say that I have a lot of white and black fabrics (fur and fleece), blues, browns and greens, and less purples, pinks, reds, oranges and grays.
What size can you make the plush?
The smallest size I can make a plush right now is 6" tall or wide. I can make a bigger plush, it will cost extra, and also depend on the fabric I have available.
How much will it cost?
I have two main fabrics I can work with - fleece and fur.
A basic 6" plush made of fleece will cost $30. Bigger will cost more, and if a plush will be extremely complicated - ie more than three colors, a bunch of appendages, etc - will also cost a little bit extra.
A 6" fur plush will cost $50, mainly because fur is much harder to work with than fleece. Again, bigger will cost more, and more complicated plush will also cost extra. HOWEVER! If you want a Joltik it will only cost $40, as I have a pattern pre-made for Joltiks.
Remember, though - if I don't have the fabric already, it will cost a bit extra as well. I have fleece in almost ever color, though, and many different colors of fur.
Please just ask me for a price quote! I don't bite, I promise. :D
How long until I have my plush?
This will depend on a lot of the same factors as the plush. After all, since I am not charging for materials here, in this case time literally equals money. Cheaper, easier plush will take less time and be in the mail sooner. Complex plush will take considerably longer. Also, for the latter half of September I will be less available to work on plushies in my spare time, and therefore any plush commissioned in early September or even late August will take longer than they normally would. I will frequently pester you with updates on your plush, though, if you wish!
Any examples of your work?

For more examples, my DeviantArt gallery is chock full of examples of other plush I've made. :D
Cool, how can I buy a plush from you?
Comment to this post or PM me or somehow let me know that you are interested in commissioning me. Specifically, please say that you are committed to buying the plush! This will reserve you one of my available slots (see below). If you just post want to know if a plush is possible and how much it might cost, that does not guarantee you a slot!
Slots for November 2012:
1)
atlantia_rai: Flareon plush
2) open
3) open
If I get a couple of really simple orders, I may add more slots. In contrast, if I get a really complicated commission right off the bat I may have to take away slots!

And finally, please ask me if you have any questions!

I would love a Zorua more so, but depending on what fabric you have...
With fur for the neck poof if possible?
I would like one or the other, just depends on whatcha got. :)
Flareon would be possible, though! I actually have three options for you for a Flareon plush - a completely fleece plush, which would be around $30; a plush with fleece for the main body and yellow fur for the 'fire' parts, which would be $40, or a completely fur plush (I would use longer fur for the 'fire' parts and shorter fur for the rest), which would be $50. Regardless, the plush will end up in the Pokédoll style, like this custom Jolteon I made a couple of months ago. I would likely use the same yellow fur for the 'fire' parts, too. :)
With shipping and handling, it will be $55.50. :) Paypal to artikgato@yahoo.com. I'll be working on the plush later this week, and hopefully I should be able to get you pictures of the almost finished plush by next weekend.
I tried sending payment now but I don't think it went through? I've had problems with my Paypal today. D: Let me know please! If it didn't I'll try again.
Let me know which set of eyes you'd like, and what you think! I had a lot of fun making this plush, particularly the yellow furry parts. :)

It's so freaking adorable! And you shaped the tail! It's amazing in every way. I can't wait to get her! <333
I like the Poketime eyes better I think. :) Thanks for doing that! The other ones are nice, but I like the Poketime feel to it. :3
Can't wait to show her off in my next collection update. <3

Also, I think I may have mistakenly sent you $17 through paypal. I'm not sure why, I think The wrong address got pasted, or something, and I didn't notice until about 2 seconds after I hit the send button. Can you please refund that? Thanks!
I would totally commission a Zorua in the same style, but I'm a bit strapped for cash. Would I be able to for the end of the month?
I dont have sales permission but was just wondering if you were interested in a trade of some sort Im not sure if Im allowed yet so please dont hold this to my word but actually I was wondering if you would like to trade customs, I can draw or this was one of my first attempts at sewing an espeon cushion but it wasn't the best and Im pretty sure I can do better: http://pkmncollectors.livejournal.com/1
please let me know what you think and I understand if your not as I am still learning. ;) I will get back to you later if you are interested with an answer from my parents.
