hah! Thanks Anon. I THINK they thought they were doing me a favor, too. By the time she made it through customs, the box she was in was SO trashed they they repackaged her...and put her in wrong, so the seam on the back of her neck popped.
Luckily, Agatrix was ridiculously helpful in walking me through how to sew her back up the right way. It seemed to upset her as much as I was.
Still...as amazing as she was, I'm kinda weary about commissioning her again. I know it's not her fault...I just know it could have been much, much worse.

Ehhh, it's probably just my unpopular way of doing things, but I make pattern changes based off what my eye tells me, not what vectors and references tell me. If it were me I would absolutely keep the current one, but that's just my opinion for what it's worth.

Are you underage, Anon? If so, then >>>/out/
If you're an adult, then why do you need to announce to them when you buy something? If you really feel the urge to justify owning a figurine, for some reason, then point out how much the price of the Luna figurine's inflated and claim you're banking on the ones you ordered to do roughly the same.

Or, you know, you could just not tell people what you buy, and ask why they're snooping around your room, if they bring up your pone figurines
>>
>>25906438
Hey man I know that feel. It might not be so bad, though. You could get a small one and say it was a gag gift from one of your online friends and see how they react. These Chinese ones I have are about 20 dollars and they're really faithful to the original design. They're stiffer than the handmade ones but that just means you can squeeze them tighter.

You were right, anon. I fucked up. The silhouette is much closer to what I was wanting, but the stretch pulled from the back end instead of the shoulders when I fixed it. So now the cutie mark is at an unforgivable 45deg tilt. Dammit. There's a certain margin that's okay with me for visual effect, but this is unacceptable.

Well, I've adjusted my pattern AGAIN so I guess it's time to restart. I can't accept this level of shit for a commission. Maybe I can get this Twi done and she'll be the lifesized I take to Bronycon this year.

>>25906636
Best of luck. Before I went to college, I owned 2 shirts I could never wear, and a Derpy and Dash funko figure. That was it.

Now that I'm at college (this is my 3rd year, so this wasn't all aquired in one year) and have my own place, I have a life size Fluttershy, a few posters and other wall art, a bunch of other plushies, around 6 or 7 shirts, ALL the Funko vinyl figures (minus the blue Discord because I don't need a second that's a just a pallette swap), a blanket, the comics, both vinyl records, odds and endes, ect.

Protip: get an on campus job, but don't tell your parents. Even if your school has a site where they post job listings, still go to places personally and show interest. At least at my school it's up to the managers there to update them, which they never do.

Yeah, right now that seems to be my only option as far as I can tell. Can't really find a comprehensive list of pony conventions. Probably gonna ask some friends if they'd go with me, split room costs, ect.

I'd like to use airbnb, as most hotels run at 150 a night, wheras I could use an airbnb room for anywhere from 30-100 a night. At the same time, it seems pretty sketchy.

Anyone have experience with airbnb?
>>
>>25909677
Yeah, I've used airbnb before for Anthrocon. It was on the 'good side' of Pittsburgh, it was also one of the cheapest places to rent a room ($45 a room). It was out of a beauty boutique, the woman was very, very nice. The room I stayed in was half the size of the house (pretty much the entire upstairs). Without going too off topic, it was definetly worth it. You just have to read the reviews and hope (if you're a new airbnb user) they choose to allow you.
>>

Cool, thanks for the advice. I guess that I should start getting on that now as we get closer. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this idea.

Now, back to plush pones, what do you all think of this Celestia?

So how much would it cost to build a life size plushie since buying one is 500$ and up.

If I had a job/weren't broke I wouldn't complain but life blows sometimes.
>>
>>25909929
L-lewd.
>>
>>25909944
Depends on on how much you have on hand. If you have literally nothing, 250-300, if you have a sewing machine and some sewing supplies (like thanks to grandma), probably like 170-200.
>>
>>25909944
I'm working on my very first LS. So far:
Sewing machine - $150 for a good starter
Materials - $40-60 for minky and thread (2 colors)
Quality fabric & craft scissors - $20
Embroidery patches for eyes/cmark - depends, shop around, at least another $50, buying a machine and the software to do your own is a pretty big investment. $500-3k
Time cost - to be determined.

I think that was said the last time that pic was posted.

I'm potentially getting furloughed from my job in the next day or two. Already over 3,000 employees furloughed and they might go as far as 5,000. Now I'm really considering making plushies in my downtime at home to sell. Problem is I haven't made all the M6 so I'm sure the manes are going to be sketchy if I take commissions.
>>
>>25912118
that would suck
companies always do that shit at the end of the year when someone has already spent the equivalent of rent or more on gifts and have almost nothing saved, just so they can get a tax break.
fuckin assholes

make a smaller plush and sell them at a slight discount

you should be able to look at other plushies and guess what/how they were done
>>
>>25912503
I don't think it has anything to do with taxes. There just isn't enough rail traffic to support the ridiculous amount of hiring that happened over the last year. We are losing ANOTHER 25 coal trains some time early next year which means ~1 less two-man crew will be needed every day and that's just one out of four territories in Denver.
>smaller plush
I like making the bigger ones. They tend to be easier since the curves are more shallow.
>>
>>25906047
damn, the hair-quality is great. like Trump
>>
>>25912539
but most companies like to keep the new hires because they are being paid less, rather than keep someone who is paid more but knows the in's and out's of their job

could make the smallest big plush you can, Ebay seems to have done well for Agatrix

>>25912579
YOU CAN'T HERP THE DERP!
>>
>>25912590
Nah. A newhire at the railroad makes exactly as much as someone who has been there 40 years assuming they take the same amount of time off and that they consistently work the same job. It's a weird place. We start off at a higher rate of pay than most anywhere but our pay stays the same throughout our entire career with the exception of company/union-wide negotiated pay raises. The entire system is based off seniority and the people being furloughed are the newest people.

I have a few things to figure out before I start selling them. Like putting up my works on my DA and then finding actual commissions. Working on a LS Rainbow right now and I'm hoping she comes out really good to demonstrate my capabilities.

guess the larger cutie mark does look better. Fills a lot more of the blank space.

Question about the water soluble stabilizer though. It's not sticky and I can't use a hoop with this size of cutie mark. Would it work to pin the stabilizer in place on top of the fabric while using tear-away on the bottom or would the loose stabilizer defeat the purpose and make no difference?

This is why I hate applique. This machine is so retardedly inconsistent in everything it does. The red decided to bunch up in two places for no reason which I'm going to attempt to fix. The machine misses stitches constantly as you can see with the blue in-progress. The only way I'm getting stitches to work is to literally pull the fabric back and forth about a 1/16" until one of them magically grabs. The yellow took about 15 passes to finally get enough stitches down that I could go over it normally from one end to the other and tidy it up a bit.. It still looks like shit but will hopefully look better when I go back and fix it up.....

I learned a new trick for rounding off the corners. The inside of the blue bolt looks a lot better than the outside corner. It looks better in person. Obvious a few spots that are screwed up but it's not worth trying to fix and ruining something. I'm done for the night.
>>
>>25920370
Way wider of a stitch than I would have used personally, but it doesn't look too bad.
>>
>>25920467
Kind of had to use that wide because there was almost a quarter inch gap between the red and yellow fabric after I started sewing. I think the next one I'll sew the red, then baste the yellow, sew, then baste the blue. Also I've never used anything smaller than 5 on the width except for a few small places like the bottom point. It's really hard to distinguish the edges of the applique too since minky is so fuzzy. The extra width gives me more wiggle room. Slowly getting better with each project.

Anon said their Agatrix pones smell good.
What do they smell like?
I remember for some reason my two Bladespark ls pones had a particular scent for a couple months, it was an unusual smell but it became nice as I grew fond of them. None of my other pones had the same thing happen. (some makers prewash the minky)
It was like...a faint sweet packaging peanut smell, but there were none in the box.

I don't like the green apple but that is an awesome looking plush.

>>25925090
I wonder if your plushie scent comes from Agatrix's ambient house smell. Or like lotion on her hands or something. Nevermind I guess it's soap. >>25926427

So while this technically isn't a plushie it's what I've been working on all day and it has ears which is pone related. I made two of them. The first one is off center by a whole letter and the second one the N is noticeably bigger. I reeeeeally want an embroidery machine. I'm officially furloughed so I'll have plenty of time to keep working on Rainbow. Next thing is her second cutie mark.

Nice. Keep us posted on how the other cutie mark turns out and if the machine still misses stitches, having to go over same area if this is the same anon. I am interested in this applique DIY progress.

Just noticed this on Agatrix's main journal page/commission list page:
" I have to rest a few days finally, I hope you do not mind. I try to answer to all comments. It is not easy, there are hundreds.
I'm sleeping 15 hours a day finally and not 3! I charge my batteries to catch my calendar. I know you are waiting.I will not disappoint anyone."
I really hope she does not burn out/wither away and everyone gets their plushies. I am happy with mine and want other's to experience that happiness.

>>25929170
Yeah, that would suck. :(
here's to hoping...
>>
>>25908498
i dont understand what this anon is saying
why would "people like Agatrix" come under scrutiny?
>>
>>25929448
Maybe tougher laws for self employed people? Higher taxes? Harder way of living? I can only guess, Europe is a whole nother world.
>>

>>25929646

This.

While I doubt Poland will go full Nazi without anyone noticing (and I doubt it will overall, just a thought), I'd also fear if for some reason what she does would be viewed as 'immoral', like how there are Russian militias of people who chase down gay people and beat them half to death.

Once again, I doubt that would happen, just worrying.

>>25929884
Yeah I certainly hope not! I plan to visit the place sometime... maybe if I time it right I can visit and pick up my Agatrix commission personally! That would be kind of awesome to do.

After taking a nap with Cheerilee, I have found another nice position with Agatrix LS pones without wings or with folded wings. Besides her on top with me on my back, I can lay on my side with my groin against her thigh/flank while she is flat on her stomach, normal laying position for her, and one arm around the back of her neck under her mane with that hand holding her fore leg and the other arm under the other fore leg holding the hoof of the same leg that first hand is holding. Intertwining your legs with her hind legs and her tail over your leg is optional. I do this fully clothed as I want her to be as new forever, don't want any dead skin cells/oils/organic matter on her. Sheets/pillow cases changed very often are a must. Better to be too clean

Has anyone used a lint roller on minky plushies? Is it too adhesive/tough on the minky?

>>25930175
but minky on bear skin is amazing
glad to hear you are enjoying earth pony master race

Her back is so smooth and sleek! I can't stop stroking her back and her thighs. Only way it would be better is if her cutie marks were minky applique.

Left is the first attempt, right is the second. Definitely came out a lot better this go around. Still had a few issues with stitch skipping and thread bunching but not as bad as last time. I start red, yellow, then blue. Red starts off perfectly then starts skipping after about 2-3 inches. Yellow skips the entire way down. Blue works almost perfectly all the way. I don't understand why. But after going back over it two or three times in trouble spots it came out really well. Sizing is slightly off but on opposite sides of the plush it won't be noticeable.
