_{My latest update might be a bit strange for you - it's going to be *dun dun dun* commissions! Before you decide to click that big fat red X button on the top right of the screen, I would like to mention that this isn't your average ' prz pay mi 2 draw i wil draw nefin plz plz money plz kkthxbai ' journal.
I've already accepted commissions outside of dA among people that I know, in fact it was their idea for me to start it.

The commissions I will open are for Prop, Weapon, and Cosplay Accessories. It will not be drawing or sculpture commissions as I fail at that because I wouldn't enjoy that.

I specialise in making katanas, though I can and have made other props in the past. The katanas I make come in two different styles, 'Basic' and 'Best'. Yes, I know they are gay names but what else can I use to describe them D:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katanas will include:

* Full tang, carved pine wood
* A curved blade with one side of the blade sharpened, or two sides upon request (but will charge extra)
* Blade finished in primer and silver spray
* Definied habaki
* Defined tsuba/guard
* Defined tsukamaki wrap (traditional Japanese ribbon wrap with a diamond pattern)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Above prices are in USD for convenience. Currency converter website is HERE.
Scabbards are not included with katanas.
I can make replica and original katanas upon request - please provide several references.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to see examples of katanas/props that are finished or in progress, they can be found in the links below:

Nodachi
Sasuke's Sword
Wabisuke
Ulquiorra's katana
Zabimaru
Hibari Kyoya's tonfas
Gokudera Hayato's dynamite
Example of the tsukamaki

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interested in commissioning a prop from me for use in cosplay or just to be able to say "HAI GAIZ LOOK I HAS A SWORD HUR HUR"? Please send me a note or an e-mail at phoebethe1st@hotmail.com detailing what you would like made and I'll reply asap with what I think I can do about it.

Postage and packaging is not included in the price due to people being in different countries and all. I accept concealed cash at your own risk or PayPal.

Enquiries welcome, just because you send me a note doesn't mean you're forced to bind some legal contract ;D

Personal memo:
finish making dynamite
catch up on KHR!
buy a cheap-ass sewing machine

D'aww, the reason why I set these commissions up is because I know some people aren't allowed to have real ones, so a wood substitute would probably be better

I bought a great Brother sewing machine for £89.99 at Argos, you can get machines starting from £49.99 at Tescos. eBay have some really good deals if you're willing to wait for the right machine at the right price to come along.

Yes, it's annoying that the law has changed, as some of my friends have real katanas in England and it will be illegal, as they aren't martial artists, hardcore collectors, etc.

8DDD Good luck with all your commisions.

And, *ahem*

To Any Potential Buyers.

The Seller is an extrememly good craftswoman, who will provide dilligent and handmade work. It does not come from a Hong Kong Ebay seller called Kevin or Kenny (they always are!) who has broken english, she is both fluent and sensible (um... perhaps) in her communications. Overall, I reccommend this seller highly. Give her lots of business!

If I need a katana, I'll come to you 8DD

~Odd-One-Out Jan 12, 2008, 10:23:11 AM

You make me laugh anytime Mika!
I have a Chinese friend called Kevin, and another Chinese family friend called Kenny ;D
