What I will make:

If you aren't sure whether I'll make your character or not, send me your ref anyway! I might be able to figure something out for you. 

Info about my dolls:

Each doll is custom-made to order. My dolls have clay heads with handmade glass eyes and feet/paws which are sculpted in Super Sculpey and painted with acrylic paints. They feature fully poseable wire armatures, with wooden “bones” to create accurate posing. Over top of the armature is a stuffed hand sewn body of fake fur or other soft materials, which I oftentimes airbrush or dye by hand. They can include other embellishments and accessories as well, like jewellery and clothes. Each doll is ooak, made to your liking, of your requested design!

Materials I use include: polymer clay, acrylic paints, glass cabochons for eyes, aluminium or steel wire, epoxy putty, quilt batting, and soft fur fabrics.

But... When Will Commissions Open?

I expect I'll be open again in July. I really appreciate the interest so many of you have shown in my work! So many people have been asking about prices and commissions, I felt so bad because I didn't have any answers to your questions!  
In the mean time feel free to note me with some references for a quote! 



Also I am much more active on instagram: 

Hey all!
I'm opening 2-3 slots for mini poseable artdolls.
These dolls will be just like my other dolls, with glass eyes, sculpted head and feet, wire armature and a plush body. 
These dolls will be a flat price of $200 CAD (Canadian dollars), 6 inches tall/long and fully customized for you. Accessories/jewellery is an additional $30 CAD.

These dolls will have heads similar to this one: 

Minimal texture and glass eyes.

Please read ALL of the following info before inquiring!

General info about my dolls/commissions
My dolls are entirely hand made by me, from scratch. Each creature's head and feet are sculpted using Super Sculpey polymer clay. Clay pieces are painted with acrylic paints, sealed with a matte spray finish and then gloss varnish is added to any shiny areas of the creature, such as the eyes, mouth, nose, claws etc. These sculpted pieces are then attached to a wire armature with epoxy putty. This armature is what makes the doll poseable. The armature is then wrapped in quilt batting and a custom sewing pattern is made. My dolls are sewn by hand and sometimes partially by machine (usually large dolls). For these mini dolls I will be using fleece or minky material (the commissioner gets to choose) and faux fur accents for manes and/or tails.
Each doll is poseable and cuddly! However these are not toys, they can be handled and posed, but are mostly made to be a display piece.
Each doll I make will have my initials and the year painted subtly on one of the sculpted pieces, such as the inner hind foot or the back of the ear.

I provide work in progress pictures to ensure that you are satisfied with the doll and that you are up to date with your commission's progress. I suggest you follow me on instagram (@ gebrek_) and provide me with your username so you can instantly receive progress updates when I tag you. 
I do not work in very specific time frames, for example I cannot finish a doll and ship it to you within seven days. A doll can be finished as early as two weeks, and at the very latest two months. I do have school work to do on the side, so please do not expect that your commission is my only priority. Commissions are second priority to my school work. Do not harass me or act rude. I try to update frequently with my commissioners, but if I haven't contacted you in some time then feel free to kindly request an update!
Please be kind, it will make the process much easier! Constructive criticism is definitely welcomed, since this is your commission and I want you to be satisfied with my work. I frequently ask if what I am making is correct so please be very specific so I can correct any mistakes. Check your email, deviantart or instagram frequently so you can view and approve the progress of your doll!

What I will make
Your original character
Anthros
Any type of fluffy animal, any mammalian species, real or made up

What I will not make
Copyright protected characters/characters that don't belong to you 
humanoid characters (exceptions might apply, such as a human face or hands on a fluffy body, please ask if you are unsure) 
articulated/poseable wings (I can however sculpt small clay wings for your creature) 
excessively detailed creatures 

Exceptions might apply to some of the above so if you are unsure if I will make your character or not, please ask!

Shipping information:

When your commission is complete and packaged, I weigh it and send you a short list of shipping options to choose from. I can ship internationally from Ontario, Canada using Canada Post. Canada Post provides accurate arrival dates, tracking numbers, and insurance if the package is lost or damaged. Shipping costs vary depending on the size/weight of the packaged doll and the destination. If you give me your mailing address and I know what size doll you want I can give you an estimate of the shipping cost, which is somewhat accurate give or take a few dollars. The exact shipping cost will be determined once the doll is complete and packaged. I cannot guarantee that you will not be charged with customs fees, that is out of my control.
I prefer not to ship un-insured packages, I strongly suggest that you purchase additional insurance for your package. Insurance costs $2.25 CAD per $100 of value, for example insurance for a $400 package would cost $9. This ensures that if your package gets lost or severely damaged, you’ll be reimbursed in full. You may choose not to purchase extra insurance, just be aware that I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages.
If you would like more information about shipping fees and options, please ask!

Terms of Service:

By commissioning me, you are agreeing to these terms:
For each transaction made, an additional 2.9% fee is required so I do not lose any money to PayPal.
I do not offer refunds or returns for custom commissions. All purchases are final. This is because I provide many progress photos to ensure that the doll is to your liking. But please contact me if there are any problems upon receiving your doll and I will try to sort it out for you. 
Do not reproduce my work in any way whatsoever. Custom commissions are for personal use only. You are not allowed make copies or claim it as your own work. 
The last payment and/or shipping payment must be sent to me within 14 days of your doll's completion.

STATUS:

(I do not answer price questions or give quotes at this time!)
Here's a quick little update for those who are interested in doll commissions. 
I will be taking a hiatus from doll commissions. I have no idea how long this will last, so please don't ask ;u; 
I need to focus my time on school work and personal art projects as well, so for this reason I'm going to take a break from making custom dolls. I'm also updating my commission prices, since my older prices were too low for all the work and materials I put into my dolls. 

Keep an eye out for more journals regarding new base prices and commission openings. 
I hope everyone is doing well!
Thank you for reading, have a nice day
