Custom Perler Ponies -Opinion wanted please-
« on: August 16, 2013, 02:17:15 AM »
So, someone asked me for a trade to make a pony based off of a design they saw that they loved.
I've only made two so far but I'm kind of in love with making them <3 It's so much fun <3
I'm still not very good at making perfect perlers, but I'm trying.

This one I made with out a pattern and is just a custom for someone for a kandi trade. She named her Sprinkles <3 I'm going to put her on a necklace.

And I made this one as a late birthday gift for my boyfriend. It's of his pony Tesla.


I'm thinking of offering pony bundles of these for sale or trade where you'd get
-1 Pony perler (And pattern sketch) by itself or on a necklace made with pony beads(possibly with the name of the pony on it)
- 1 drawing(hand drawn by me)
- 1 Bubble badge (found in my adoptables below)

And I would send them all to you. I think it would be fun <3
I was wondering what you guys would think for prices for that should be?

The drawings would look something like this but shaded:

They would be laminated so it wouldn't get damaged and the Bubble Badge would be printed out and laminated as well.

So, what do you guys think? What do you think would be a fair price for that?

Thanks for the input!

That's a fun idea!  :)  As for pricing, I think it would depend on how long you spend on each piece of art and what you feel is fair vs. what you think people would pay.  The longer the process takes, the more you would need for it to be worth your time.  But for all three things, maybe you could start at $10-15 and then adjust the price up or down depending on interest?  Commissions have been a bit slow recently, as lots of members seem to be hurting for money.  But it can't hurt to try!

Well, the perlers alone can take up to 2 hours to make.
The drawings take an hour and a half.
And the bubble badges can take up to an hour so all in all the whole process can be from 4.5-6 hours.

I wasn't thinking of trying to open commissions on here, but on other sites to be honest but it doesn't really matter. Everywhere you go, people are hurting for money no matter what and unless you're some really spectacular artist, more often then not, they won't buy from you.

But I want to give it a try at least.

Thanks for your input!
