Congrats on winning! If you could please e-mail me at spark.costumes@gmail.com to tell me what pokemon you'd like to get, that would be great.

That's also my paypal address. If you want to pay in full now, it's $60, plus $3 for first class shipping or $5.50 for priority. Or we can discuss a payment plan, if you'd rather make payments.

Thanks!

I just saw the listing for your auction and decided to take a look~! The style is so cute! ;A;

You say that you're willing to do non-Pokemon Loonakit plush and have slots available and aren't part of the auction. Are those at a set price or does it matter how complex they would be? I might be interested, if you're up for the challenge, haha.

[identity profile] bladespark.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
It depends on how complicated they are. They run from $25-$50. I've done a few challenging things before, I don't mind complex characters. Though there are some limits at this size. :)

Sorry for the delayed reply, I wanted to find some references and had to upload them. XD The price range sounds just fine, so I think it really depends upon what you think of the type of character I'm asking about, haha. Here are the references:

Devoid Diu basic design (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h104/Tagami_darkness/InSer%20artwork/4b0fb792SCaG29hb.png)
Usual style, far left (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h104/Tagami_darkness/InSer%20artwork/devoid_group1-DA_version.jpg)
Related alternate style (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h104/Tagami_darkness/InSer%20artwork/Scribbler_2.png)
Chibi style, upper right (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h104/Tagami_darkness/InSer%20artwork/InSer_chibi_set_01c5-8_forDA.jpg)

Would doing a Loonakit plush of one of my Devoid Diu be at all possible? Apologies for how complicated they can be. XD;;

[identity profile] bladespark.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
It would be possible, certainly. :) It'd be at the $50 end, since it is a bit complicated, but it could be done. I'll do you up a sketch of how it would look, though my scanner and computer currently aren't talking. The problem should be fixed in a day or two though.

[identity profile] tagami-yami.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
That would be lovely, thank you for hearing me out! ;A; I'll happily await the sketch, then we can figure out the rest, such as specific price and all, if that's okay with you. I'm sorry to hear that your scanner and computer aren't liking each other at the moment, but I know it'll work out. Thank you very much for being willing to give this a try! <3

[identity profile] bladespark.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
Well, scanner and computer still aren't speaking, so I took a photo of the sketch.

I was thinking minky for most of it, but the "eye" or whatever that is in a metallic blue fabric I've got.

I really hope your scanner and computer make up soon regardless! D: It's no fun when they're fighting. A photo still works fine, and that's quite cute, haha. Metallic blue for the eye and minky for the rest sounds lovely! <3

[identity profile] bladespark.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
:) I was thinking $45 for it. If that sounds good to you, my paypal is spark.costumes@gmail.com Loonakits usually take around 3 weeks for me to make, so it wouldn't take long. Shipping is $3 for first class or $5.50 for priority, if you're in the USA.

[identity profile] tagami-yami.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Apologies for the delay! I just got back home, so I've gone ahead and sent money your way. It should cover the amount for the Loonakit plush and first class shipping, fees included. :) I really appreciate the estimated time, too. Thank you so much for being willing to take on my request, and I know you'll do a good job. <3

[identity profile] bladespark.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Got your payment, thank you very much. :)

While I was looking over your gallery of awesome (and being blown away by the sheer diversity of it all), I had a thought! Would it be at all possible to include tiny little versions of the arms on the plush? Sorry it's several days after we talked about it, though. It just hit me tonight. >_<

In your Loonakit gallery, I thought front legs like this shape one would look pretty neat, but preferably the same color of the spinal column tail:

If it's not too late to ask for this addition, please let me know! If it'll cost a little extra due to extra material being used, just give me a poke. :)

Apologies for the inconvenience of it all, regardless. I should have thought about it earlier when you showed me the cute sketch. OTL Still, thank you for hearing me out!

[identity profile] bladespark.livejournal.com 2011-04-03 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
I can add those, no trouble. :) I'd need to position them slightly "in front" of the mouth/tail area, as I don't think there's room to put them between the mouth area and the ear things. If that works for you, then they're no problem at all.

[identity profile] tagami-yami.livejournal.com 2011-04-04 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much! <3 In front of the mouth/tail area sounds just fine. It's complex regardless, but I think your choice of placement should allow the arm nubs to work out and fit. :) Sorry to bother you with my late request, but I really appreciate it! Thank you for your kindness! ;A;
