Yes, for the first time in about two years, I'm opening for some kind of commissions, although more limited at the moment than some might prefer. Specifically, in preparation for Anthrocon 2012 next month, I've decided to open up for badge commissions to give myself a little extra money for expenses! Make sure to read all this stuff below if you'd like one :V
They'll be digitally-drawn and will have your character in my chibi style with whatever name you'd like below it. They'll be around 3 1/4" by 4 1/4" in size, give or take a 1/4" here or there. They'll be printed on photo paper and laminated in 10mm thick lamination paper, making them far more durable and resilient than your average badge! As Immy likes to put it, they'll "likely outlast you and all your loved ones with regular use". Speaking of Immy, he'll be the one printing, laminating, and mailing out badges, so if you're familiar with his badge works, it'll be that level of quality!
Price: Each badge will be $20. For those not picking up at AC, domestic shipping will be free and international shipping will be $5 extra. You'll also get a free badge clip with each badge so you can clamp it to your shirt as soon as you get it!
Payment, AC Pickup and Mailing: For people attending AC, you will be able to pick up your badge in-person at the con from the Pangolin Press dealer's den table, table O04! You will also have the choice of either paying online before the con via Paypal or paying in-person at time of pick-up with cash. Also, badges for AC will be given priority over others obviously, with AC only being a month away.
For people not attending AC, your badge will be mailed to you from Pangolin Press (i.e., Immy) when completed. Again, domestic shipping will be free, but international shipping will cost an extra $5. Payment will be done online via Paypal.
How to Get a Badge: Simply note or comment in this journal stating that you'd like one! In your note/comment, please give the following information: the name you want on the badge, at least one detailed color reference of your character, what sort of action, pose, and/or emotion you'd like them to have, and how you plan to pay and receive the badge (online/in-person, pick-up/mail). If all your stuff is in order, I'll add you to the queue.
If you're planning to pay online, I'll also give you my Paypal address so you can send your payment as soon as possible. When you do so, please include both your badge name in the Paypal message so I know who you are and confirm that you've paid. If you're getting it mailed to you, also include your mailing address so I can tell Immy where to send it. Once I've received notification of payment, I'll get to work on your badge when it comes up in the queue. If you're planning to pay in-person, obviously work will start before you can pay, but if you find you can't attend all of a sudden, I'll discuss with you on paying online and mailing the badge to you when done. Also, previews of your badge in sketch form will probably not be given to save time, but any large changes in the final product that may be needed can be done if asked.
Finally, there's currently no real limit on how many badges one can get per person (within reason) and how many slots in the queue there are. This might change, though, if demand becomes higher than I thought it would be and depending on the preferences of Mr. Laminator Cutter Mailer Man Immy. Basically, if you want a badge from me for AC to pick up and wear there, I'd reserve one as soon as possible!
