Oh gosh. I've been gone from DA for TOO long. What is up with this new look? I have no idea how to even change my status to say that commissions are open. LOL. (I'm a dinosaur, and I find the new look makes it super obvious that I've been a deviant for 11 years)


Anyway! For anyone interested in plush commissions, info is the same as before.


For new commissioners, please check out this link for all the details (includes price list, formats, ship/delivery info, etc.): http://www.jlauportfolio.com/pheleon/commission/commissionsgeninfo.html


For old commissioners, here's the link to the form: https://forms.gle/ynmw7qJhAH6zp4AaA


In the coming months, I'd also like to finally revive 'pheleon creations'. I really let it go, especially in this past year which has been personally... really rough, lol. I want to get creative again!


Anyway, if you're an old watcher and you're still reading this, thanks for all the support over the years! <3 If you're new, thanks for watching this dinosaur! I hope to share some awesome plushies in the future.

UPDATE #2: All slots are filled, thanks!

UPDATE: Thanks for the awesome requests! I can squeeze in a couple more slots, so I'm leaving the form open for only 1 more week.

Long time no post! I've recently finished up my last (ish) con of the season. Some mini-plushies have been posted on my Etsy (namely some Boku no Hero characters!) and I should be updating it with other plushies when I get home after finishing up my summer internship. :D www.etsy.com/ca/shop/pheleon
Btw, I say last-ish because I'm actually going to Kupocon Toronto in December! It's a small event dedicated to Final Fantasy and I plan on making all the FF characters. I don't anticipate selling all that much since it's a small event, but it's mainly to give me the excuse of making all of them, lol. Stay tuned for more FF plushies if that's your jam. :dance:

Late Summer/Fall Commissions 2018

Alas, I've finally updated my commission info! In terms of timeline, slots will be open from now until about September 1st (or whenever they're completely filled) and the projects will be scheduled throughout the next few months. Prospective deadline for these commissions will be mid-November, but I might experience delays since life is hard when you're juggling full-time grad school! :faint: If you're looking for a Christmas present for a loved one, plan early (i.e. now!) because I can't guarantee that I'll be open in time for Christmas!

Details on how to reserve a slot are on the commission page on my website:  www.pheleoncreations.com

(In case my site is being buggy, I've backed up the general info on my tumblr page: pheleon-commissions.tumblr.com… . It doesn't have the price list and shipping info yet, but the base info is there.)

The main changes are:
:bulletblue: I've updated the spreadsheet for the price quote calculator. It has more details in it. I've also added Chibi plushies into the calculator so that you can more or less quote all three styles at the same time.
:bulletred: Classics have very limited skintones: either super pale, or much darker brown. (there's also blue if anyone wants Nightcrawler or something, lol)
:bulletblue: Sorry, I'm not accepting payment through Etsy anymore. They've raised the fees to 5% and also on its shipping! :/ I dunno, I guess if anyone is okay with paying that much extra, then maybe I'll accept it, but it's quite disheartening. 

Hope everyone has had a great summer! Can't believe it's already over (but I welcome to cold air of fall with open arms because this summer's heat has been killing me) :peace:

Commission Status: WAITLIST CLOSES JAN. 14th
UPDATE #3 Waitlist will be closing by the end of this weekend, January 14th! Schedule deadlines have been changed: I'm making decent progress on my first round, so I'll probably finish early and get started on the second round (for those who sent payment). But since there are more projects in Round 2, I've pushed the tentative deadline till March 25th instead. Waitlist projects will be scheduled for April/May/early June.

UPDATE #2: Second-round slots are filled! Since they are not finalized yet, they might be subject to change. All waitlist slots will be scheduled for the spring, or for the second round in case someone else backs out.

UPDATE #1: First-round shotgun slots all filled! Thanks! The other slots and waitlist will be kept open (btw, there might a delay in response because they're less urgent!)

Happy New Year! :party:

Sorry for the lack of updates. Grad school really sucked up all my time, and when I got home after the end-of-semester craziness, I had a ton more to deal with for the holidays. And now, I'm already going back to school by the end of the week. :o

For winter/spring 2018, I've divided my commission slots into three categories:

:bulletblue: the shotgun ones (if you're able to pay right now. Plush will be completed by Feb.4th)

:bulletred: the later ones (payment due by beginning February. Plush will be completed by March 4th)

:bulletblue: the waitlist (if you're flexible or prefer to reserve a spot in the spring)

Details on how to reserve a slot are here:  pheleon.jlauportfolio.com/comm…

In a nutshell, I'm going to be super on the ball for the shotgun ones (if there are any takers) because I need to get everything prepped before I leave this Saturday. Payment (in half or full) must therefore be due by Friday (5th). For the later ones, there's less urgency because those will be worked on when I come back home for reading week.

On other news, I've been using Instagram in my personal life and really warmed up to the platform. I'm planning on finally using the account I made years ago for pheleon (but honestly never posted anything lol!) 

My Instagram username is: PheleonCreations

Hope everyone had a lovely holiday! Happy 2018! :hug:

I just got back from the crazy weekend of Anime North. It was a real battle agaisnt sleep the past few days. My body feels jetlagged. o__0 Con report can be found over at my blog: pheleon.blogspot.ca/2017/05/an…

Overall, I had a great time tabling with whitefrosty and next to BahamutDawnCreations . I also want to give a shoutout to ikeda for helping me bring down half of my keychain army (they wouldn't all fit in my suitcase!) Thanks to everyone who dropped by to chat, buy something, and generally keeping me sane: Superdemon-Inuyasha Jadejj Ladybloodskull Cmcookiez to name a few!

My next con is Otakuthon in August. I'll have time to prep so any recommendations are welcome!

On commission news, I'll be opening up slots some time in June. I just need to clean up and re-stock my materials. I'm also working out some slight changes: I have to officially phase out the classic style because I'm out of lycra fabric, sadly! I still love the proportions used for classics and I have a different type of lycra, so I'm working out a neo-classic style. I might also add my new 'nendoroid' type to the mix. Anyway, I'll need to work out these details before opening summer commissions! More info to come! :D

On other news... I finally got into grad school and will be moving this fall! :dance: In case people are really confused about my academics (because yes, seems like I'm forever in school)... After getting by Bachelors of Fine Arts, I worked a bit then shifted my career aspirations for art conservation which required taking chemistry and more art history credits. I completed an intensive certificate program in the field, worked again, and now decided to focus specifically for a Masters in paper conservation. I'd love to work with Asian art, like Japanese woodblock prints and etc.  So I now got accepted into the program and will be doing grad school for the next two years!

This means that I'll be taking lots of summer commissions, but probably won't be taking much (or any) in the fall because my schoolwork load might be too crazy.

I also need to update my DA gallery. I have a ton of projects that I completed and never posted, lol.

Update on 19/03/2017- Slots for the first round are full! When I complete this round, I'll open up new ones, which will probably be in a month or so (like towards the end of April). I'll update this journal entry and announce it on fb/tumblr when the time comes. Thanks!

18/03/2017
Info is finally updated!  Here it is: pheleon.jlauportfolio.com/comm…

To summarize some of the main important updates:

:bulletblue: I'll be scheduling slots on a first-pay/first-served basis. I want to have a quicker turnaround time, so I'll be taking the commissions in smaller amounts, but hopefully more frequently.  In other words, I'm not booking all the commissions for the season; instead, when I finish some, I'll open new ones.  (Therefore, please be ready to send payment asap!)

:bulletred: I've tweaked the google form for the application. Hopefully it's more simple/easier this time.

:bulletblue: I compiled a breakdown for the price quotes. Check it out here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… (and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!)

On other news, I got into Anime North's Crafter's Corner! :dance: I'm focusing my merch on my mini-plush keychains, but I'll also be introducing a new plush style! Stay tuned. :D
