How do I sign up for a Commission Slot?

Make sure you have as much filled below and send me a note to my deviantart, tumblr or email: dustysculptures@gmail.com with a simple proposal (don't be going over board! That'll come later) and I'll read over it and see if its possible for me to do.

Please note that the Base Prices listed above are for a basic character on a base. Added complexity and accessories will increase in price as per the requirements for the commission. There is no strict price guide for this as it all depends on what is necessary for the commission.

Also note the Base Prices are on a per character basis meaning that when commissioning multiples, whether the two are on separate bases or on one large one, the prices will be similar. However certain discounts may be applied for multiple commissions at the time between proposal and final quote.

I try to get back to everyone in a timely manner! That being said just because I don't get back to you right away doesn't mean I'm not interested, so its okay to poke the nest every once in a while.

Here's some good tips on getting a slot:

--Have a good idea of what you want

Get Specific! Things like what will they be doing, what will they be wearing, even themes (lonely, jovial, intense) will all help!
Be flexible! I like putting some interpretation on every commission to make them unique for both you and me. I won't go running away from everything you want though! But I like to keep things interesting; which might mean bouncing some ideas off of you and taking things from there

--Reference! Reference! Reference!

Pictures is a must!
I work in a 3d medium so I need to know what your character will look like from every conceivable angle. That being said, I have worked from simple 2d drawings before and can fill in the blanks appropriately. But any additional material will help (no matter how small or insignificant)
Reference must be colored!
Working on a physical medium from digital characters is hard enough! Please don't make me interpret a color based on words. Don't make me wish I was an english major in college! (j/k I love ya~)

--Be interesting! Be challenging! Get Excited!

I realize this may be difficult to interpret, but basically if you show me pizzazz, I'll give you pizzazz~ (not to be confused with pizza which I love)

--Be Patient!

I know~ the dreaded wait! But please trust me if you like what you see, you're going to want to wait for it~ : )

After I've accepted your proposal:

Once I approve your proposal I will be sending you a link to a form where you'll fill out all the details about you and your commission (e.g. name, address, commission details, etc) Now go nuts! And do take your time with it, all that information is what I will be referring to when I do your commission.

Finally! Now all that's over and done with, I will give you a number which corresponds to your commission* (deli counter style). The number I'm currently working on should be displayed somewhere on the front page of my deviantart, if you're curious**. As soon as I get to your commission, expect a conversation as we hash out the details of your commission.

A final quote will be given after we've hashed out the major details (tho I may still message you about small stuff) and I've got a good handle on what you want. Any quote before this point is to be only considered a suggestion; I won't know how much work I will need to put into a commission until I've heard out everything. Payment should be made after a final quote is reached and while I am working on your commission. If you are having any issue with this please contact me immediately as I'm sure we can work something out.

Finally once the payment is made and I've finished work, I will send it out ASAP~! While its in transit please take some time for a little bit of reading on a guide I wrote to take care of your sculpture. Once you have her in your hands, remember to send me plenty of pictures! Have fun!

_{*If you don't get a number please bug me about it. You should have one.
**Number maybe out of date; I'm kinda lazy about changing that~}

Thank you very much for making it down here~ And Thank you very much for showing interest in what I do. I say it countless times but if it were not for your love and energy, Id never have gotten this far. So Thank you  

Have a lovely day!~
