BJD Aesthetic Commission Information

Commission Status – CLOSED

Foreword
Due to the lack of artistic freedom and personal fulfillment felt throughout 2 years of Face-up commissions, I've decided to make matters a little more simple for myself. I am very dedicated and meticulous and tries to give my customers the best results to the best of my abilities, however this has cost me dearly as it drained my creative energy away. I want to try and finally enjoy what I do and thus this system is created, separate from how I used to work on the forum.


Important information Please read everything before sending me an E-mail!
I will now only accept face-up commissions through this blog and my personal e-mail: [e-mail]. I will no longer be offering modification services. Customized pieces will be for Auctions only.

I would like to paint heads that I'm very interested in. They are kept in the list down below. If you would like to commission me please check on the commission status before e-mailing me for a spot. Please don't feel offended if I can not take on your commission at the time, I could be full and did not have time to update this Entry.

I work through my commissions in a systematic way. My work flow is as follow:

•E-mail me to book a spot, wait for my reply, Yes or No
•Send me the doll head, I take blank photo
•E-mail me any and all specific requirement you may have for the face-up, picture references are hugely welcome
•I go work on a computerized Mock-up using the blank photo and your description. You approve of the mock-up

•I go paint the head. You approve the final result
•Settle payment
•I send the doll head back to you

If you have a specific character in mind, I can achieve such a result by using the computerized mock-up. Every mock-up is painstakingly tweaked to your satisfaction before the face-up work begins. This is done to ensure that the final result will look closely to what you wanted, if not perfectly on the spot. Please also send the appropriate eyes and Wig should you wish to colour match the facial hair details to the intended wig.

Turnaround
I am usually very quick if I'm in the right mood. Depending on how quickly you answer my e-mails and how quickly we settle on the mock-up, it goes anywhere between 2 days to 2 weeks. However, I would prefer it if your doll doesn't have to be completed within a narrow time frame as it creates much stress for me.

I do not stock eyelashes on a regular basis. If you wish to have eyelashes applied for your doll, please send them with a pair of appropriate colour and size.

Shipping
Shipping is not included in the face-up service prices. I will send doll heads back to you with your choice of shipping method. These include:
•Registered airmail
•Airmail

I am not liable for any damages the doll may sustain due to shipping, to and from my Studio. So please insure it if you're worried. I'm most likely to recycle the box in which you sent your dolls to me, please make sure that it is undamaged and made of firm material.
Local commissioners may give me the head in person.

Payment
Payment is Paypal only and strictly in US dollars. I will not convert it into any other currencies. Please do not send e-checks, it takes too long to clear. I will invoice you through paypal. Dolls will be shipped as soon as payment clears. Please send me the following form once you're satisfied with the face-ups.

•Payment type, i.e. bank/paypal balance or Credit Card

Disclaimer
