The Great and Plushable Trixie is always first!

Now that we've got a new thread...

STREAM!

Since Livestream is such a butt, I'm going to try twitch. Gotta get it all set up, but here's the link for now: twitch dot tv backslash equinepalette

Let's say 3pm just to be sure I'm not late? Might have it up earlier, if I do, I'll post again.

>>25657411
yay, twitch is so much awesomer, to be honest family.

Also, testing Harshwhinny manes/bumping the thread

>>25657883
why doesn't it work with your laptop? OBS is the software, right? should work the same...

>>25656956
I'd fuck that

I just bought one of the cheap Chinese RD plushes. What am I in for? I've heard very mixed reviews on here

>>25658063
Same

>>25657883
Nice! Need more Harshwhinny!

Is that 4de AJ on sale or preorder or whatever?
Also Toywiz listed everything for January. What's going on?

Yes! Yes! Finally! Fuck Yes!
After 2+ years I finally have all of the M6 plushies from 4de.
They are perfect. Like literally perfect.
They all look the same size, the colors are great, and hair is done really well on each of them.
For $25 each, there’s absolutely nothing better out there.

A couple of notes:

Twi and Pinkie are 2 years old and I noticed that the new plushies are stuffed
much more firmly than they are. It makes them feel much more substantial and durable, which is nice.

Applejack’s hat appears to be held on with 3 small threads and I don’t see any glue.
Her hat is likely removable by cutting the threads but I haven’t tried.

ok so who's streaming next?

>>25658736
nice
now I want the full set

>>25658736
Is it just me, or do the snouts on RD, Fluttershy and Rara look really weird?

Pinkie and Twi are older, and I think the new ones are a little better/more consistent

>>25658862
I don't know what you are expecting, I think they look great.
Do you know of any $25 mlp plush that looks better than these?

>>25658946
Because you have shit Twi and Ponk
I have not broken version and it's definitely better than everything on your photo

>>25658960

There really isn't any point to hate on these plushies, especially seeing how you didn't make them. The Fluttershy one is the only one that looks kind of dopey, but whatever.
May comfy cuddles come to you, anon.

Like, plushies? There have been a few good ones.

Anyone know where I can get a decent Octavia or Lyra plush toy? I don't want to pay something crazy but I'll be willing to pay a bit. I really like the ones that look like real hair, think it's called faxfur or something. However, those are expensive as shit!

Jump threads are little threads that "jump" two isolated areas with the same thread color in embroidery. It helps with speeding up the embroidery as the machine doesn't stop, but you have to cut them if they don't get covered by stitching. Some machines will cut them for you, but most lower priced or older one's don't.

>>25669988
Thank you for the explanation but I'm still not seeing it in that picture...maybe I'm just blind.

Hey QT, ponka freak here, I got irl friend stuff to do, so I can't make any stream before 1 AM tonight

>>25670775
Oh, sorry. You just said you didn't want to pay a ton for a good plush, so I assumed you knew your limitations. Standing up Lyra or Octavia that's actually good is gonna cost you a pretty penny. Like, probably no less than $200. More if you're wanting something over 12" or so.

>>25671357
Oh that's expensive. I'm extremely cheep and I thought someone had something in the $25-50 price range. I only thought that because of the eBay ones they have along with the Anon that posted the new ones he got. I think he paied around $25 per you so I thought that was normal. I just couldn't find anyone with open commissions or other that make the ones I wanted. I think I need to do a bit more research?

Send her a note in Deviantart and see if she will make one for you. Tell her how much you want him and what he means to you. Do not balk at her price or try to haggle. I don't know if her commissions are open or not, she made a couple of ponies recently and put them on etsy to sell. I say go for it, the feeling of getting a plushie you want and taking it out of the box is like no other. You only live once, so jump at this.

>>25672674
Usually, if it is not on the website that means it is either sold out or never was available. I had to get the Funko Luna off of ebay as the Hot Topic ones sold out so fucking fast. My brother is pissed because he waited too long and did not get her and now they are scalping her. Best bet is ebay, Amazon or actually driving to the Hot Topic stores and physically searching them. The elephant behind the counter may be able to help you once you arrive there.

Yeah, but that is how I got the Funko CMC ponies. I just balled my fists and went in there wearing my blue collar uniform and dug through all the Funko's until I found some without blemishes. The employees were on me happily spouting aloud my love of ponies. I paid for my goods and got the fuck out.

>>25672658

She's pretty much full, I tried to get a commission a week or so ago and she only replied saying that she would get to me in a bit because she was busy with other peoples Commission & stuff.

>>25678025
>plush makers giving out the thing that keeps people coming back to them

best you could do is look at a bunch of pics and extrapolate the pattern from that

Very nice! So many attractive ponies being made, I cannot by any more.

>>25678208
Lots of peeps sell their patterns. It brings in extra money and I doubt they lose many potential plush customers over it, because the people who wanted their plush are still going to want them. And if they have a high demand anyway there will always be someone who can't sew with lots of cash to throw at them. It's hard to replicate perfectly even if you have the basic pattern for the body. There's still all the work of embroidery, making extra accessories, manes and tails, stuffing, etc.

>>25678505
In addition, it brings in new revenue from people who would never have had the money for a $300+ plush anyway. For example if someone only has $25 they can buy the pattern instead and try making their own, but they would have never had the $300+ for an actual plush. So the seller isn't missing out on a huge sale, but rather adding several small ones. There is the issue of other plush artists using your pattern to sell their own versions though, but if you state that the pattern is only for personal use and you keep an eye on the market you can suppress that to an extent.

>>25678505
true, but those are usually older patterns
or in the case of MLW beanie kits and such, she stated in her files that it's to be used for personal only and not for financial gain

and they could always do what EP started doing and selling their embroidery skills for those who don't have the time or patience or machinery for themselves

>>25678528
Can plush makers really stop others from copying their designs? That seems wholly unenforceable.
I find it hilarious when plush-makers get butt-hurt over stolen patterns of some shit, totally ignoring the fact that they are stealing Hasbro's copyrighted characters in the first place.
Total double standard there.

I suppose technically, OC might be exempt from copyright though.

so where did the original plush pattern in the OP come from?
It's so perfect and out of seemingly nowhere, like a gift from god

Do miracles really only happen in the plush thread?

>>25678609
>Can plush makers really stop others from copying their designs? That seems wholly unenforceable.
It kind of is. I doubt they can do anything legit about it but they can raise a huge stink, alert their fanbase and social media, and get you blacklisted in order to ruin a lot of potential sales for you. Artists are fiercely protective of their sources and every shred of their work, even if they are creating things based off of copywritten characters owned by big companies. I don't really blame them, I mean, it's a shit ton of work. But it's easy to take patterns from people and modify them just enough to argue that you didn't copy them. There's a billion and one free and purchasable pony plush patterns out there anyway, they're going to look similar there are only so many ways you can put them together.

>>25678643
it was from a kit that Zombies8mywaffles sold a long time ago and they did THAT because they had a new pattern and wanted to get rid of old stock
it has been modified enough that it's not recognizable as their pattern

>>25678662
for MLW, she asks that if you post a pony made with her pattern, to at least provide her as the source
aka give credit where it's due
I think that is the part that rustles many artists
seeing someone who buys the pattern from you selling ponies at competitive prices and taking away your customers
but there is still the embroidery that can make or break a good pony plush

the pattern can be perfect like MLW or EP, but if the eyes and CM are poor applique, bad embroidery or pasted on from printed fabric, no thank you

there will be enough customers for years to come and even if you have everything right, you have to work to get your name out there and set the prices where you can still make a little profit

once people try to get into the business, they see just how difficult a plush can be to make

hell, I'm not even trying to get into the business, but I already know how difficult it is to make a plush
it's a fun hobby to do in my spare time, but I'd rather support makers whom I really like

>>25675477
Fluttershy looks like a pimp with those two doctor Hooves

Newcomer here. I have only 2 plushies, a Pinkie Pie and an RD from NICI. I'll try and make a big RD for cuddles after christmas with the help of the plushie info that there is here.

Does anyone bought plushies from the chinese company that makes them? Due to cheap shipping costs (My Achilles heel) and designs I'm interested in buying a few of them and I was wondering if the quality and appearance is good.

>>25677749
Tee hee I see what you did there Anon. Seriously awful looking cosplayers and shitty plush's, what a combo.

>>25679184
They're cute. The quality is okay. It's certainly appropriate for the price since they're usually about $15-20. They can have uneven embroidery sometimes or be misshapen so I recommend finding one in person if you happen by a convention but if you want one go for it.

>>25679550

No pony conventions or something that has ponies here so I can't see the quality up close.

Ain't the most perfect pattern around but all the other free patterns are terrible. I saw planetplush released a paid pattern that looks pretty good though.

So very much this. Anyone can make a plush but making them look good requires a ton of skill, multiple attempts, and a bunch of practice. So much can go wrong making a pony from putting a cutie mark on backwards to thread snapping in the worst places, to embroidery files going haphazard.

>>25672128
Sounds like it friend. $25-$50 is manufactured price range. You're not going to find any decent quality custom for that much. Especially not a standing pattern. The plush list will give you a good idea about it, but if you have any questions I'd be happy to try to help. It sounds like you're kinda new and just don't quite understand what all goes into a custom plush and what drives the prices up like they are.

>>25678662
This. In the United States, the only thing protected under copyright as far as patterns is concerned is the direct pattern itself. Like, you can't copy and paste the pattern to sell it. Anything you make from it and try to sell, even if the owner says it's personal use only, is technically unenforcable under the law. However, the whole blacklisting and alerting their fanbase (which is likely larger than yours if you're taking their pattern to get started) is 100% what happens. Really, the rule is just don't be a douche. Respect artists. Take their pattern, learn from it, make your own.

I suppose it's a case of honor among thieves isn't it? Respect the artists, but everyone is OK with shitting all over the big faceless corporations (Hasbro) by profiting off of their IP.
I don't care that they do this, and I certainly respect the raw effort and skill that artists put into their plush making, but It's kind of delusional for non-OC, non-liscensed plush makers to think that
they should have any kind of ownership over FIM designs.

>>25675032
>Chinese plushies

>>2567688956
Aaaaah nice!

>>25682452
In this case it's not FiM designs. It's a pattern for a cartoon style equine/cervid quadruped. Most patterns don't nail showstyle to a T, so combined with those differences, change the eye shape and it could just as easily be not a MLP. People getting butthurt over copying a certain way they made RD's hair, that's excessive.

>>25682042
Yes EP, stream please!

>>25682452
The fanart/commission thing is a real grey area with the copyright laws, from my very, VERY limited understanding in it these plush's and designs fall under the fair use law due to various loopholes and what not.

It's something too complicated for me to keep up with and I'd more than likely get it wrong so take what I said with a grain of salt.

>>25682483
they are a decent starting plush for people
not everyone can drop hundreds of dollars on a commission
the only reason why I even was able to get a LS was from a ton of overtime
same reason why I've got a few plushies in the works or being shipped right now, overtime

>>25682452
Hasbro has the resources to make plushies that are on par with top tier makers easily and the resources to pump them out at thousands made a day, making them cheaper and more readily available to the general consumer
but they are in it for a quick buck, using cheap materials, cheap labor and machines doing 95% of the work

as >>25682573 it's the pattern that's the concern here, not Hasbro
not eve Hasbro's patterns really come close to the show

it's more that these makers take time out of their day to work on something just for YOU
making sure that it's just right for YOU
the better makers with a waiting list are the ones that go above and beyond, putting more love and care in each hand made plush just for YOU
which makes each plush unique and special for each person

everybody loves custom things because it makes themselves feel important or special

I'd rather interact with an artist that's willing to work with me in getting my vision of my waifu right and cares about that almost as much as me, than a faceless corporation who only wants my money

>>25683302
>not everyone can drop hundreds of dollars
Don't forget the shipping in Europe or someplace like that. I had shipping rates of over 60$ for a T-shirt in some stores. I don't want to know how much a plushie will cost.

>>25682042
>In the United States, the only thing protected under copyright as far as patterns is concerned is the direct pattern itself.
Incorrect. 17 U.S.C. 106(2) gives the owner of a copyright the exclusive right to prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work. In other words, anything made using the pattern would be infringement without permission of the owner of the pattern copyright.

However, that assumes that the pattern is not substantially similar to patterns in the public domain, and since stuffed animal horses have a much longer history than even MLP in general, that could mean that horse patterns in general might not be protectable. That would require more research than I want though.

>>25681762
Shit, there go my sides.

>>25683302
I completely agree with everything you said with respect to the customs artists and skilled trade.
I like to play devil's advocate by discussing the ehtics of all of it, to keep a sense of perspective on the whole matter.

>>25683462
For example, here are two patterns that I found for sale, using a quick google search. I know nothing about these artists, I just found these with a quick search

https://www.etsy.com/listing/250752217/planetplush-fluttershy-starter-pack?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=pony%20plush%20pattern&ref=sr_gallery_34

In both of these listings, a plush pattern is for sale. The phrase and image of "Fluttershy" is used to describe the pattern and promote a sale.
The artists also clearly state that they don't want other people using this pattern to sell or to make and sells plushies.
The artists want us to "respect" them by honoring this policy.
I just feel like there is no respect to be had, since they themselves are copying a copyrighted design. Would it really be wrong to take their pattern and profit from that?
Certainly it couldn't be any worse than them profiting from the IP that Hasbro paid for.

at that point, it's up to your moral compass to tell you if it's "right" or "wrong"
just be prepared for consequences if you were to get caught
for instance, Drawponies was a very popular artist for their show accurate style
getting tons of commissions and I think they had a Patreon too, but on one of their live streams they were seen literally copying poses from still images in the show
suffice to say this caused an uproar for many
it's one thing to use stills for references, but they were and always had been tracing off of the show and they fell from grace and became mockingly known as Traceponies.
basically a, "they will never work in this town again" situation

in the case of the plushies, yes, they used a pony from the show to show off the pattern, than either an OC or a blank one:
>www.etsy.com/listing/249809440/planetplush-minky-pony-sewing-pattern
this is a better way to advertise a pattern, or like this
>www.etsy.com/uk/shop/valleyviolet
but it's easier for people to get an idea of what the pony will look like with the eyes, CM and mane/tail on it
the artistic license comes in the pattern itself
you can take any color and apply it to the pattern to make any pony, but the pattern design is the most important part
it took hours to days of trial and error to get it to look right
even then, most makers strive to improve their patterns and rather than waste the retired pattern, they sell it under the agreement that the pattern as is and will not be used for financial gain
and now we're back to the moral dilemma for the new owner of said pattern
it's fine to use it as practice and a reference for making your own

So.. My beanie pattern at the legs didn't work at all how I was imagining it. Thankfully it doesn't mean I can't put it together, just means that it's not going to have the pronounced hips like I thought it would. Next time I think I'm going to try a horizontal pattern instead of vertical. Progress update since I need to get ready for work and this is all I finished.

Just because there's a C&D does not mean that the underlying claim is valid. Plus that particular C&D dealt with the infringement of a character copyright/trademark.

Plushie makers who sell at cons (or people who sell anything else at cons), have you had to stop anyone from picking up a plush with clearly cheeto-dust or otherwise dirty fingers?

Any other artist alley/vendor shennanigans stories?

>>25684705
What ever became of the Lyra plushie anyway?

>>25684456
I made an error in >>25683462 which makes you technically right. Patterns themselves cannot be copyrighted, but they can fulfill the requirement for copyright of a design to be fixed in a tangible medium of expression. It is the design of the plush that the pattern makes which is the copyrighted subject matter. Therefore, you are right that objects made from patterns aren't derivative works. However, those objects can still infringe on the design, subject to the validity of the copyright on the design.

I still wish to see the article in case my understanding is mistaken.

>>25682042
New to this thread yes if that's what you mean. I know very little about what it takes to make one. I have an Octavia plush toy a friend made for me for my birthday a few tears back. She told me a few things that she had to do to make it and material is what makes it so expensive. I remember something about a device that could make the eyes and cutie marks really easily. However, she didn't have one and they are expensive as well.
The doc has a lot of different people that all offer different things and I'm even more lost now. The lingo is foreign to me and I could use help there since I'm not even sure what I want now. Any recommendations? I'm always willing to learn something new and this stuff interest me considering I do have some of the equipment to make one myself. Might read the how-to later if I have time.

>>25684865
Unfortunately, I tried to find the article and couldn't. Feel free to keep researching, though--I wouldn't blame you for not taking some random person on the internet's word.

>>25685026
Honestly, material isn't what makes it expensive. It's labor. Sure, the material used on them is more expensive than most, but most materials for a standard plush won't run over $50 tops. Labor, however, will take anywhere from 12-40 hours depending on the pattern and pony. If a plushmaker doesn't undersell themselves and charges at least minimum wage, that's $87-$290 just in labor hours. Not counting if a plushmaker charges overhead or puts a price on their experience and skill level.

That hour count may sound crazy, but I can totally break it down further for you if you'd like.

>>25685201
I'll keep researching, and I'll let you know if I find anything. Last thing I want is to be like most people on this board and spread misinformation on copyright law.

>>25685201
>That hour count may sound crazy
if by crazy you mean crazy low.

That is one very unappealing Starlight. The mane is wrong and the accessories are tacky. Starlight would never wear that garish getup. Looks like she is about to fall on her face.

>>25685550
>>25685617
she's had too much to drink and is a little "tipsy"

>>25685550
That plushie is made by the same woman who made Jin's Twilight.

>>25685739
I thought she was out of the plush business because of that

>>25685201
I think it's hard for me to understand why they are so expensive because I'm so cheap. I've never seen something so common charged for so much. Then again, I can see why they do for the reasons you stated. Another huge concern I have is what I expect and what I get. At a store you can see and feel the product before you buy it. I think that's my biggest concern. I don't know what I'm getting and putting that much money on the line for something I might not like is unsettling to me. I'm not even sure what I want other than I want it to stand, look good, not fall apart, and maybe cuddleable? If that's even a word.

>>25686661
That's a large reason why you look at an artist's previous work. You get a feel for their style, how they generally do things, etc. That way, you get a good idea of what the final product will look like for you, even if it is an OC or something.

>>25658068
iv got the knockoff rarara, aj, appleboom, lyra, and sunset, all are awesome, cuddly and still no sufficient damage

>>25686661
If you're worried about not knowing what you're going to get then I would go with someone who has a good reputation for plushies. However this would probably put your price really high as they would be in demand.

>>25686716
>>25686767
I looked at the doc and most of them look really nice. Any recommendations on a cheap maker or one that you like the most? I'm open to any recommendations and criticism. I'm looking for mostly and Octavia one but if they have some already made I'll talk a Lyra or Octavia. Some artist I like, such as zis-zas (really expensive), equinepalette (he has Octavia buy its simple? I'm lost from his commissions page), Pinkamoone(weird prices), and others but too many to list. Who would you recommend and can someone explain what a show pony is?

>>25687190
Let me break it down a bit

zis-zas is amazing (honestly probably my favorite plush maker besides Naz), but yeah, you'll be paying for that quality

Equinepallete is in these threads all the time. She's super chill, and prices are rather affordable. As far as simple vs. complex for her, her beanies usually just have button eyes. If you want fancy embroidered ones or nicer bits, that adds up to the complex price.

Can't say I've dealt with Pinkamoone, so no idea on that one.

Show ponies are any pony appearing in the show. For example, Twilight, Harshwhinny, Red Gala would all count as show ponies. Little Pip, Nightwatch, and other fandom ponies would not.

I'm biased towards recommendations, since I make plushes myself Top Plush, but it all really comes down to style and price. EP does good work, and it's always nice to support in thread folks. Up to you what you decide on. Also, messaging folks and asking for quotes/questions is always a good way to go about things too

>>25687455
Oh I'm stupid. When I first looked at top plush I honestly thought it was whoever made the doc's favorite one or artist that they thought were top tier artist. I like your stuff and I would consider buying from you or EquinePalette. Your chibi ponies' eyes creep me out a little so I would want the bigger ones. I would much rather support someone on /mlp/ than dealing with others. That and most others have their commissions closed. I'm guessing they got booked already from the holidays? If either of you are still open I'd like to see if we can work something out. I hope EquinePalette considers Octavia a show pony. You two have some of the better prices.

>>25687665
haha it's no worry. I get that comment on the chibis pretty frequently. Also, I'm quite certain she'd consider Octavia a show pony. I know I do anyway. She's actually pretty fun to make

I'm pretty booked for the holidays right now, but I'll be open again after the new year. Shoot me an email and we can discuss things more [email protected]

>>25687740
I will and thank you for putting up with me and teaching me about what you do. I'm filling out EquinePalette's form and wow you have to put in a lot of information. I can see why. I was reading through the rule EquinePalette has and started to wonder, do you ever have huge problems with people and what they want? She (I'm guessing) has a lot of what will happen if you don't pay or how to pay. I find is scary if something bad would happen with the money and you lose out or waste time because someone didn't want it or anything other reason.

>>25688026
It's no problem at all. Commissions can be complicated, so I'm more than happy to help

And yeah, you'd be surprised at how awful some customers can be. Granted, it's like 1/100. But that 1/100 just puts a sour taste in your mouth for a while. Especially if they insist on paying after for their complicated OC plush, then refuse to pay for it because they "don't want it anymore". Then you're stuck with a useless plush no one's going to buy, that you just wasted loads of time/material on.

Again, it's a rare occurrence, but it happens occasionally. Anyway, I'm off to sleep. Look forward to hearing from you

I was wondering. Does anyone has patterns for those anthro ponies I saw on a /trash/ thread?

>>25688317
>Anthro
>Hot glue thread

Those two strikes aside, most folks don't normally make anthro ponies. You could ask the creator of them, but good luck getting the pattern hahaha

Your best bet is to look at it intently, then figure out how to do it yourself.

>>25688418

True, how I saw those plushies, seriously doesn't sounds that I want them for a good reason (PS: I don't do that thing but it's fun to watch it)
but I like how they look, how they stand and they are just... weird, but in an interesting way. Definitely something that is more unique and stands out. That's why I like them.

>>25686435
Well that's a new one. Cutie mark makes me think he's a dancer.

>>25688026
OC's are more sketchy when commissioning. I think most plush makers charge full price upfront for an OC because if the buyer wanted to back out they'd have an OC character that no one wants to buy.

>>25688569
I my OC appeared on the show, is he a show pony or OC character?

>>25689236
it's both
so it's cancer, unless you happen to be Faust

>>25689274

I'm not Faust, but I made an OC with really similar features to the show, and it appeared in one episode in the background due to the simplicity of his design.

>>25656956
OH WOW so cool Dashie looks so cool like that

>>25688569
There are also some who if the buyer flakes out after they make it (part money up front, part afterword), they will significantly change up the OC (change hair, eyes, cutie mark), and put them up on eBay.

>>25688026
It's really important for the artist to have as much information as possible. Otherwise the customer can say "oh no, I wanted this" or "I thought it would be like that" or "this part is x material but I wanted it to be z". Also when I was newer I had a customer ask for a quote, assumed he was in the states because that's where I'm based at, and then found out later it was international shipping when I told him it would only be $4. I decided to just eat the cost because I felt responsible for not having asked whether he was in the US or not but it really reminded me that you need to get all the facts before you commit yourself to taking a custom order.

>>25689544
I understand that and it's perfectly reasonable. I just didn't expect it. You want to minimize the bullshit as much as you can. It feels like a huge risk to me but I'm a negative thinker and like Top said its 1/100 when it happens.

>>25689284
You make enough pastel ponies you're bound to see one that matches a color scheme. Doesn't really make it your OC in the show. Either way, only a few background characters even get enough attention. Lyra, Octavia, Vinyl, Derpy, Bon Bon, and a few others of note.

>>25689305
Yeah. It's just an attempt to make up for losses. Who wouldn't want a discounted pone? They all cuddle the same in the dark I guess.

>>25689562

No I have made just 1, I'm not that fan in making multiple OCs.

>>25689570
I meant the animators. There have been a ton of background characters doing daily stuff in the background of episodes, especially as the show progresses from s1-5. With so many characters one of them was bound to eventually look like a pony someone else drew.

>>25689598

True.

I'm asking because I ordered unicorn Twi back in December last year and today she finally arrived! Except... yeah...

>>25690973
It's an improvement really. They upgraded you.

>>25690952
What the fuck is that. Are the eyes made of paper? Is the skin around her mouth melting?

After a google search: How does cutiecorral sell so many of these things. Her chibis look so simple and they're all fleece, how does she get $65 for them?

>>25691105
this is the second anon who ordered one pony and got another from 4DE...not looking good on their part.

>>25691115
If you tell them about the mixup, will they let you keep the extra pony when they send you the right one? I've had companies do that for me before. And that way, hey, you have to wait a little longer but bonus pone!

>>25691105
They also weigh a fuck ton. Like that shit is hard as bricks. 1/10 would not cuddle

>>25691200
What does she stuff them with? And I know regular fleece is not that soft plus the printed eyes look scratchy. Looks un-cuddly as fuck.

>>25691633
desu? depends on what you value. if you want a lewd from someone who intimately knows how to do lewd right, i'd go with plushwaifus. qtpony may be too, but not sure he's done lewd yet?

if you value show accuracy over cuddling, i'd go with someone like MLW or EP, if they'd even do it with their backlog.

finally, if you just want a cheap lay, check out bigsexyplush. they might scare you tho desu.

they've gone MIA since April of this year, but not sure if I should share it or not
they were supposed to have been gone for a few weeks, but never heard anything from them and I have no way to get the money back from the commission I paid for just before they disappeared (it was due to a series of unfortunate events, they didn't do it on purpose I hope)

Pretty much what >>25692406 and >>25692473 said.

We have some differences in the way we construct ours though (embroidery machine applique vs manaul machine applique) and we have some slight pattern differences that mostly are down to our personal preferences, but essentially were the same. That said, QT is a lot faster than I am because in part because he doesn't have to fuck with programs for applique then try to get it to run and fail miserably 100 times...

>>25692785
I do live with and make love to a lewd pone, but I did tell qt how to do it the same way I did. That said, I only do a certain type of lewd (see lewd guide in OP), because I really can't get away with doing any other type where I live here. QT, MLW and Clopaholic will do other types however.

She's adorable. Only issue is you can see the red marker you used to outline her pattern on all her seams. I'm terrible at pricing so I won't even attempt to quote something at you, but be more careful with the marker next time and I'm sure you could sell one for a nice price.
