Title: Plushies in Artist's Alley
Post by: Bow- on July 11, 2005, 07:52:43 pm: Hi,
Since It doesn't seem my email is going to be answered, I thought I would ask here.
I was thinking of getting an artist's alley table, but I am not sure whether the sale of fanart plushies is allowed. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance for any info :)

Post by: Anonymous on July 12, 2005, 10:36:26 pm: Yaay! Thanks for the reply, I am going to try and get a table.
As for characters, I have a couple of bargain basement ones up on Ebay right now, I dunno if I am allowed to link it or not, so please strike this post dead if not ;)
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsaraqQ2a

I do take commissions, but our website is down at the moment. We keep having the awful luck of buying a year's worth of hosting from people who take the $ and split, so we are just loading everything up onto our 3rd host for the year. Give us maybe 2 days, then you can check my Commissions page over at http://houyoutanwe.noldolante.com/
The site is TECHNICALLY up, but the menu isn't linked up to the pages yet :)

Post by: Bow- on July 15, 2005, 08:52:17 pm: Our website is finally all set back up, if anyone wants to have a look at my stuff before the Con :)
I also got my email reply along w/ my AA application. I'm so excited!
See you all there :)

EDIT: um... your sight is fixed, ne? well, i cant see any of the pics... just thought i'd let you know. :cry:
Title: Plushies in Artist's Alley
Post by: Bow- on July 17, 2005, 09:38:13 pm: Hmm, I dunno why you can't see them. Are you on dial up? It's a very image heavy site.
I plushed hatori from Fruits Basket today, i am so excited about him :)
Title: Plushies in Artist's Alley
Post by: Mei Long on July 17, 2005, 09:53:28 pm: wow, congrats on the hatori plushie! but no, i dont have dial up... my computer's actually very good and can handle huge loads at a single time... :cry:

i'll keep looking into it, i just wondered if your site malfunctioned or something... but it's good that it didn't. ^^

*sigh* time to go figure out what the heck my computer was thinking. ^^;;;;

Post by: shadowfox on July 28, 2005, 08:57:51 pm: OMG!! I WOULD GET THE FRUITS BASKET PLUSHIES ^o^ so you're really gonna set up?
Title: Plushies in Artist's Alley
Post by: Bow- on July 30, 2005, 08:52:44 am: Well, i sent in my check for a table, but i was told there were only a few left. I haven't heard back as to whether or not i got one, but I hope to be there, yup :).
If I can't get a table, and anyone here wants something already on my site, or a commission, i will come up with some kind of deal :)
Title: Plushies in Artist's Alley
Post by: Anonymous on July 30, 2005, 10:05:46 am: AAck! I can't edit my last post, as I was too lazy to register, BUT, I got a table!!
*does happy dance*
Anything in particular you all would like to see?
I'm going to have some mini BOWnigiri keychains, as well full size BOWnigiri, and I think I'm going to whip up a couple of FB mini plushies.
Maybe those Gravitation plushies I've been too lazy to get around to doing..
EE! I can't decided, lol!

Title: Plushies in Artist's Alley
Post by: Bow- on July 31, 2005, 09:54:50 am: That guy would have to be a commission, and not table stock. He'd take me ages, as all those buckles and stuff would have to be hand made. I also see a lot of hand painting on him.

I was wondering if anyone else will be at their tables all alone? Anyone? Maybe we could watch each other's tables for a minute for potty breaks? Assuming those of us alone end up near one another.

Post by: Bow- on September 05, 2005, 01:13:57 am: I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came by my table to see me this weekend :)
I had a great time, and really enjoyed seeing you all. Panda, your costume looked GREAT :)

Also wanted to thank Eric for taking such good care of me, and all the artists. I tend to be a bit temperamental, but he did a great job of making me happy and keeping me in a great mood. Thanks :) *squish*

Can you give me a rough quote/estimate on how much it would cost to make a bunch of mini-Nabeshins from Puni Puni Poemi?

I'm not familiar with the show, and google is giving me group pics, or a Nabeshin from a different series, can you send me a couple of pics?

Nabeshin is also from the show Excel Saga (he's the director, heh).

I think what guspasho is talking about is one particular scene in Puni Puni Poemi where Nabeshin shoots an arrary of mini-Nabeshins out of his afro. I can try to make some screenshots from a video sometime to show you the particular scene to give you a general idea.
Title: Wait, that was my idea *pout*
Post by: EcchiSpice on November 04, 2005, 07:47:30 pm: I actually wanted the Nabeshins for Gus' outfit. I will have enough trouble making him a new pink coat.

Pie, If you can get screen shots, can you get the cute Afroshin with the tiny guns, sticking out while Nabeshin says "Afroshin Soul Attack!" We really want the guns. Thanks!

Bow, one Afroshin has to be Fro mountable. (No legs) I'd like two more for Gus' pockets, with legs. Thanks, too!

Really, my dream is to have hundreds of little Afroshins to hurl at passers by.
And a chair, like my avatar, instead of a brain slug, to stick on my head. :D

Post by: bastett08 on May 03, 2006, 03:29:51 pm: Uh..... I hate to ask but.... do you take requests before the con? I'd love, LOVE to get a plushy of an original character of mine. I promise she will be fun to sew.

But yeah! I take it that plushies of a character are legal to sell. It has to be your original design but a rendition of a character is legal. It's not like America where making a plushy of a certain character pattened by some major company can get you in trouble.

Sorry to say but this thread has been dead for awhile. *points to date of post before you*

One plushie/doll thread that's going on right now is Catgirl Rin Rin's (http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2102) . ^_^

Post by: leashy on May 04, 2006, 06:31:47 am: Bastett, Rin Rin is making dollie requests for the con, go to her topic and she could probably make it for you!

Post by: OtokoNoShufu on July 25, 2006, 08:16:50 pm: Say, Bow-... Are you still doing commisions for brain slugs? I had meant to ask nearly a year ago, but never got my forum account activated. ^ ^; Was looking at maybe 3 or 4 of the regular sized ones. I'm sure they'd be a big hit given that a new season has been announced for Futurama on Comedy Central. ^_^ Much thanks!
