Pick Up At Convention Commissions (fill in your info!)

Post by okapirose »

As any experienced artist-con-goer knows, we always get at least 1 person asking "do you have xyz?" and when we are either fresh out or never had it in the first place, we divert them to commissioning, often offering commissions that will be taken, made, and given before the end of the con. However, not every artist can or likes doing this. Whether because the medium they work in does not travel or you just cannot turn commissions out that quickly, or for other reasons.

To alleviate some of the stress of commissions during the con, it's best to get a jump on things and open up commissions ahead to be picked up at the con itself, giving you time to work on them at your leisure and ensure the commissioner gets what they want. This also more or less guarantees a sale. And while the con seems to be MONTHS away, we know times flies very quickly, so it's never too early to start.

So, if you're going to be selling stuff in the alley and are willing to take commissions that are to be picked up at the con, fill out this form with the bits that apply to you.

Name: (your name/nickname)
Studio Name: (if any)
Payment method: (prior or at convention)
Offering: (prints, plush, charms, etc)
Full commission information: (provide a link to a blog or something people can look at the details of your commission information. If you don't have one or its different than what you normally offer, just post your info here)
Examples: (show at least 3 examples of your work)
Table: (obviously you don't know where you're going to be in the alley at this early stage but if you have a recognizable tablecloth or display, you can include it here)
Other: (any closing info to add)

I also added this extra bit because I know I'm not the only artist who likes to make the rounds and buy stuff from fellow artists but would like a hint to what others want to see:

What I like & look for: (fandoms, characters, prints, charms, etc)

Don't forget to post a link to this page on your Facebook/Tumblr/DeviantArt/Etc to ensure the maximum amount of people see this for you and your fellow artists benefit!

Name: Cathryn (Cat)

Studio Name: C'Lay La Vie

Payment method: Prior to convention. Paypal preferred, other methods to be discussed individually.

Offering: Everything I do is handmade polymer clay. Figures, and charms most prominently, and all charms can be atttached to a variety of things from earrings to bookmarks.

Full commission information: http://kitcat4056.deviantart.com/journa ... -349241922

Examples:
-Wobbles (polymer clay figures) of Vampire Hunter D http://kitcat4056.deviantart.com/art/Wo ... -334020541
-Tardis bookmark charm http://kitcat4056.deviantart.com/art/Ta ... -334019143
-Tentacle stud earrings http://kitcat4056.deviantart.com/art/Oc ... -334016104
-Toothless lure (character charm) http://kitcat4056.deviantart.com/art/Lu ... -245735503
-Stargate pins http://kitcat4056.deviantart.com/art/St ... -245735218

Table: Look for the black glittery tablecloth! In past years we've been against the back wall, though no promises to where we will be for this year.

Other: Pick up commissions will CLOSE May 11th Those last coupe weeks allow me to work on any last minute commissions for the con as well as prepare for it without interupttion.

What I like & look for: I love animals, if you have anything shark or especially okapi related, there is a 99% chance I will buy it. Same with Ergo Proxy stuff. I don't specifically look for any medium. What's on it and the quaility of it is more important.

Name: Heather

Studio Name: Decoy's Dork Decor

Payment method: Prior if the work is customized, at the convention if it can be resold if you're a no show. I accept Paypal and Etsy (for credit cards) for prepay, cash and all major credit cards at the con.

Offering: Functional nerd art for your home and self.
Home Decor - Lamps, night lights, coasters, coin boxes, storage boxes, clocks, wall art, etc.
Jewelry - Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.
Accessories - Ties, bows, belts, key chains, cell phone charms, etc.
Etched Glass - Tumblers, Mugs, shot glasses (different sizes and colors available)

Full commission information: Prices vary for commission work depending on what you would like. You can look in my shop for a general idea of what I charge and then contact me with details of what you'd specifically like! Feel free to contact me on these forums, through my website, or through Etsy. I'll respond the fastest to Etsy communications, almost always within 24 hours.

Examples: My offerings are going to change at the end of the month to include acrylic pieces and my current bead sprite items WILL NOT be brought to the con UNLESS you preorder and prepay! Click the links in the "Offering" section for examples of my work.

Table: I'll update with more info as it gets closer. Check my blog for more info: http://www.decoysdorkdecor.com/news-and-updates.html

Other: I adore custom work, so don't be afraid to ask!
Be sure to check back for the acrylic offers, such as lamps, jewelry, and clocks toward the beginning of March!

What I like & look for: Functional art! I'm not a "hang-prints-all-over" type of person. I like my art to have a purpose other than just looking pretty on my wall. Video games, anime, and pop culture are all awesome in my book. Oh, and I looove a good plushie!

Name: Rose
Studio Name: Tonbo Curios
Payment method: If prior, by Paypal or a mailed check works. If at the con, I can take cash, check or credit card.
Offering: hand-painted cork coasters.
Full commission information: check my Deviantart journal post: [link]
Examples: Deviantart gallery: [link]
Etsy shop: [link]
Table: I'll have a tablecloth/banner with my studio name and probably logo. I still have to make that
Other: I haven't really done customs before, but I'm more than willing to give it a shot. Also, if you see anything on my Etsy store and want me to reserve it for you so you can pick it up at the con and not pay shipping, I can do that, too. Or if you see something I've done and want it in a different color or something (say you want the Leo symbol in green) I can certainly do that as well.
Either contact me via DeviantArt, Etsy, or message me here if you're interested.

What I like & look for: Anything with the pokemon Mew. Otherwise, nothing in particular really.

Name: Lindy / Rindi
Studio Name: How Many Dragons?
Payment method: Prior is preferred - Paypal is best, but I can also do money orders and concealed cash. If at-con, I accept credit and cash.
Offering: I sell a variety of goods at my table, but the main draw is my selection of polymer clay dragons. For pre-con commission purposes, this is your chance to order a custom dragon for at-con pickup.
Full commission information: Custom dragons start at $30 and increase in price depending on complexity and materials. Feel free to contact me through DeviantArt or Etsy with what you want and we can hash out the details.
Examples: DeviantArt gallery, Etsy shop, Personal website
Table: I'll have a giant 'How Many Dragons?' sign hung over my table, so be sure to come over and say hi!
Other: Custom commissions will close on May 4th, because I need time to prepare for the con. Also, if you'd like to reserve anything in my Etsy shop to pick up at-con, just let me know.

What I like & look for: I love Okami fanart. Also, I'm always on the lookout for anything involving rats or hamsters.

DeviantArt: http://claylavie.deviantart.com/

Me personally:
DeviantArt: http://dixxy.deviantart.com/ (please note I am AWFUL about uploading photos of new stuff although is it me or did they streamline the posting process?)

Payment method: At convention
Offering: Magnets known as "Chibi Heads", charms, key chains,
Full commission information: http://dixxy.deviantart.com/art/Commiss ... -354359444

Examples:
Castiel - Supernatural http://dixxy.deviantart.com/art/Chibi-H ... -277344660
Felicia - Darkstalkers http://dixxy.deviantart.com/art/Chibi-H ... -277341820
Mane 6 + Spike - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic http://dixxy.deviantart.com/art/Ponies2 ... 1361156483 (I apologize, Fluttershy was unfinished at the time the photo was taken - she is just as shiny as the other)

Table: http://dixxy.deviantart.com/art/Anime-B ... -319985536 We have replaced the spool rack with a round spinner to save on space so don't look for that - the best thing to look for is the table cloth or the large display on the far left as those are likely the easiest markers to spot us by.

Other: Due to a recent change in my health that involves a compromised immune system (PM me if you want the whole story), me being at the con is a little up in the air - I want to and plan on attending, but my cosplay plans are geared towards keeping me safe from germs (it'll hopefully be a femme!Sogeking - so Sogequeen - from One Piece, as it has a full face mask and gloves) and even then I could end up spending a lot of time just resting in the hotel room. That being said, I am still able, willing, and ready to make commissions.

What I like & look for: I adore a lot of things but some big ones for me include One Piece, Avengers (in particular Captain America), Legend of Zelda, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. For media I primarily buy prints and buttons but I'm definitely open to other kinds of swag as well.
