Hi all! I'm thinking about trying my hand and making things for people but I wanted to do some smaller things. I want to get the feel of it before I go and do something full blown.

So, I've been cosplaying for about 4 years now, and making props for three. I will do my best to make sure that whatever I make for you is as close as I can possibly get it to what you want.

What are your props made out of? Most of my props consist of a cardboard or upholstery foam base that I cover in my own little paper mache recipe of straight glue and brown packing paper. I then either cover it in multiple layers of Gesso or Bondo and sand it down smooth, then paint it or whatever.
How fragile are your props? Like any prop, you can't go over and wack someone over the head with it. But my style of making props makes them pretty sturdy, I've thrown my things around at con and they have been completely fine, minus some chipped paint.
How long does it take you to make props? I'm currently in college right now so things can get a little hectic. The way I make props is a little time consuming as well so I require at least a month in advanced so I can make sure I can get it to you on time.
How much do you charge? I require that I am paid a base fee of supplies up front, then depending on the size of what I'm doing I might require that you pay some labor fees up front as well. Since I use cheap materials though, don't expect your bill to be that high, I can make props out of as low as $20 for materials sometimes. But let me know what you want made and I can give you a quote.
What else will you do besides props? I'm also open for doing accessories, painting and small costume pieces.

Some examples of my work (More pictures to come)
Bridget's cuff and May's anchor (My sister didn't want it gesso'd because she is silly which is why it looks lumpy)
Bridget's crosses and headplate
Mage Staff
Paint job, lettering and sculpty bits on Sword
Head and ass leaves
Watch

Some stipulations right now. I will not do swords. I believe that swords should be balanced and made out of wood and cardboard and paper just don't cut it to get that smooth. I also don't want to take on hard as hell props for my first time doing commissions.

So give me a chance

I'm sure you'll come out being more then happy. Ask for a quote~

I am currently NOT OPEN for anymore commissions.

How much would it cost for a shadow ball

ashdandy · « **Reply #6 on:** November 17, 2009, 01:31:04 pm »

How much would it cost for Rosette's life clock and her shoulder crosses?

I can send better pictures through email or something, just let me know

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #7 on:** November 17, 2009, 03:15:28 pm »

OK SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG

@xcthulhux- I can tell you right off that I have no clue how to do the shadow ball thing. The green whistle would involve carving and such. I would need to look into it a bit more.

@Gwarnekochan- That is a little more then I'd like to get myself into right now. Sorry D:

@ash- Watch would probably be around 15 for materials not including the actual watch part (I'm guessing you would want a real watch part, which would involve research for how much that would cost). Arm crosses would probably be about 10 in materials since at the moment it looks like they could be made out of foam and a little paper clay, I want to look into that more before I give you a definate answer. I'll research things and email you tomorrow.

Also I charge at least minimum wage per hour for props. I can give you and estimate on that too. I and inclined to add more depending on the difficulty of what I am doing. Let me look into all of this more though and I can give more accurate pricing by tomorrow. I've been moving and such and I'm at work right now. Sorry~

Urgh, sorry but I said in the first post that I really didn't want to tackle swords right now. I just feel that they need to be made out of wood so they balance correctly and I don't have the tools to do that at the moment.

Romo · « **Reply #13 on:** November 19, 2009, 09:01:44 pm »

How much do you think you would charge for this charm?

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 19, 2009, 10:33:58 pm »

Okay. Sorry, I think I misread that part ^^;

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #15 on:** November 19, 2009, 11:14:23 pm »

@Romo- Pffft, do you have a bigger picture? I'm super blind and can't tell what's going on.

Romo · « **Reply #16 on:** November 20, 2009, 07:17:59 am »

Sure, sorry about that!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 20, 2009, 10:34:07 am »

Okay, let's try this again...
How much for the Magnet Vocaloid headphones?

Would be in dark blue to match hair.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #18 on:** November 20, 2009, 11:26:43 am »

@Romo- I'll pm you in a moment and let you know!

@Nekovamp- Image not working, ffffff. I looked it up though. These are the ones with the butterfly wings yeah? I'll pm you pricing and you can tell me which vocaloid it is. I assumed kaito since you said dark blue.

No more requests please! I'm kinda full up for the people who want stuff now.
