I'm traveling a ton this summer so I am closing commissions for the time being. I'll reopen in the fall. Thanks!

Sorry for the long silence! I've been frantically working on things for Katsucon and I also went to Japan for a long trip. I'm back now, and since Katsucon is over, I will be opening commissions!

Send me a dA note or you can email me at ger.tysk@gmail.com if you're interested in a quote. As a note, I charge what I do for my work based on costs for materials and what I think my time is worth. I do get a lot of requests for quotes from people who don't realize the cost of a prop and end up disappointed. Commissioning is my full-time job, and I (and other commissioners) charge what we do because we need to make a living and we base our prices off the costs of our time, labor, and experience.

If you are wondering if a prop is within your budget, here is a ballpark figure of what I charge.

-Small daggers/knives/fancy kunai start at ~$65.

-Regular sized swords and scythes start at ~$180.

-Oversized swords and scythes start at ~$300.

-Fang's Bladed Lance from Final Fantasy XIII and Genesis Rhapsodos' rapier from Final Fantasy VII are both $360.

These prices do not include shipping.

Again, if you're interested you can message me here on dA or email. I have a one month turnaround so props ordered now will be deliverable at the beginning of April. Thanks!

Hi! So as the title says, I'm looking for artists because I want some drawing commissions done :P I recently wrote and published a novel. In this novel are a fair number of different characters and I'd like someone to do portraits of them.

Here's the cover:


I have a post up on my tumblr for anyone who's interested. I'm looking for a few different artists because I think it would be awesome to get character portraits in different styles, as well as maybe even some landscape/scenes from the book done. For those who want a summary:

:bulletred: it takes place on a ship in 1841
:bulletred: there are mostly male characters
:bulletred: I'm looking primarily for digital artists

I am willing to pay! Artists should be fairly compensated for their work :) I'm not made of money, so I can't pay a million bucks or anything, but if the info in the tumblr sounds like something you'd be up to doing, please email me!

AND if you're interested in historical fiction, you can check out the novel on Amazon for Kindle for only $0.99. You can also get it on Barnes and Noble.com for NOOK - or if you don't have an ereader, it's available in print as well :)

Again, here's the tumblr post: gltysk.tumblr.com/post/3471241…
So yeah. Artists! Email me and we'll talk. Mwah :heart:

Yo~ commissions are closed for now! Thanks for your interest :) I'm still selling my Shiva wig and the Arc Reactor pendant (below)

I just retired my Shiva costume from Final Fantasy X and am selling the wig. It's only been worn twice, so it's in really good condition. It's made out of a 51" blue wig and 13 packs of extensions and is fairly heavy - about 7 lbs or so. It's worn by hair combs that hook into the front of your hairline. I braid my hair around the front of my head so the combs have a sturdy base to hook into. Because of all the dreadlocking and modifications I did to the wig, the wig netting itself doesn't really hold the wig onto your head - the combs do.

I'm asking $250 OBO for the wig. Shipping will be calculated separately. I paid MUCH more to make it, but I'm realistic here :D. It's in almost perfect condition, seeing as I wore it only twice for about 4 hours each, and it really is something I'm very proud of. I hope it can go to a good home. :heart:

Back:
Shiva - wig back

Front:

To read more about the wig, you can check out my tutorial here: gerodere.deviantart.com/art/FF…

Please send me a note or email me at ger.tysk@gmail.com if you're interested!! I'm willing to entertain any offer that's reasonable (so as long as it's not like $5 XD). The wig is taking up a lot of space in my basement that could be used to store other things, and I'm never wearing it again.


ALSO! I'm offering up this Arc Reactor pendant for sale. Modeled after the triangle reactor from Iron Man 2, this particular pendant is 2 inches in diameter, made out of individual sheets of aluminum cold welded together, covered with transparent styrene sheets.

Arc reactor pendant

It's $65 with shipping included to the lower 48 U.S. states. Shipping to other areas or international can be calculated with each buyer. :)
