Interested in a chibi c0mm? I now have them open! 35 USD for a full color character like the one shown here! If interested, send me a DM with a blue heart emoji 💙 and I'll forward you the link to the form cuz I'm still scared of adding links to posts here lol

if the price is a bit much for you atm, worry not! I can start working with a base pay of 10 USD, and then you pay the rest when you're able so I can send you the unwatermarked version at full res! So feel free to reach out! Currently starting with 3 slots, but will add more if there's enough demand!

[crystalsoulstudios]

also if you like this chibi style... I'm posting something tomorrow, so keep an eye out. It's already up on twiter tho, so if you haven't checked there yet, feel free to do so 👀

Finally got around to practicing my chibi style, with my FFXIV catboi Sy'vyn as the test subject, and I love this end result!! 💜💙

New commission type just dropped!

🧵Cross Stitch Cushions!!🧵

Three different types to choose from:

Small Single Sprite: Perfect for small sprites like those found in menus or in the overworld, like in Undertale, Zelda, and Fire Emblem and such. Fits nicely into ita bags!

Single Detailed Sprite: For larger more detailed sprites, like Pokemon battle sprites

Multiple Small Sprites: For when one small sprite isn't enough! Great for pairings such as a Pokemon team, a group of your favorite characters, your favorite item set, etc. As few as two, as many as nine

Wanna add some extra flair? Three additional features available! Pockets, frames, and text!

Have a custom sprite you want stitched? No problem! I'll even do minor sprite edits (ie palette swaps) or convert official art or symbols (ie RWBY and Smash Bros symbols) into sprites (within reason and for an additional fee, of course. Ask if you're unsure!)

Interested? Then check below the cut for finer details and the link to the form!

Custom Sprites: While I'm more than happy to use custom sprites you provide, if it wasn't made by you then I'll need explicit proof that the original artist is okay with it. A screenshot of a DM is fine. I just want to make sure I'm not using stolen art or something randomly found on Google as I typically count that as theft.

Colors: While I can occasionally find special colors for cross stitch fabrics, these have become hard to reliably find at my local stores. The colors that always seem to be around are White, Off-White, Black, and Oatmeal (a textured beige). As for the backing fabric, I just need a general idea of what colors and/or patterns you're interested in, and I'll look around and send you whatever suitable options I find to choose from.

Converting official art: This can be anything from making a pixelated version of symbols to drawing over official art (and only official art plz). I mainly have this listed as an option for folks to have an option for Pokemon sprites from Gen 6 and above, since we went 3D at that point, but I'm open to hearing about your ideas! And while I have a price of +15 USD listed on the graphic, this can vary based on complexity (ie a Smash Bros symbol wouldn't cost that much, but a detailed conversion might cost more). Tell me your idea, and I'll make an estimate.

Payment: At the moment, I only do payments via Paypal Invoices. I am looking into other options, but as of writing, PP is all I have. I'll make an edit here once I have more options. Also, after consulting with you about your idea and putting a concept together, I will let you know the cost. I will require half payment before I can begin stitching for material costs, so this will be non refundable. Anything past that halfway cost is refundable, though. I am also open to doing partial payments if you can't pay all at once. This counts for the required half payment as well. I just won't be able to send you your commission until I receive full payment.

Things to note: Obviously, you have to be comfortable with providing me your address, as this is a physical product. Also, I am currently unable to ship to the UK. I'm looking into solutions for that, but as of now it is unfortunately not an option. Also, minor disclaimer, but I am limited by the thread color options available, so some colors may not be accurate to the concept. I will do my best to keep colors as close to the source material as possible though. Lastly, I do have a cat and a dog living with me. Keep that in mind if you have any severe allergies.

Any questions not answered here? Feel free to send me a DM or ask! I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have!

So, still interested? Then please send me a DM/ask and I'll send you a link to a Google Form to fill out to keep things organized on my end. I'd link it here itself, but I'm scared of Tumblr possibly suppressing this post because of a link ^^;;; On a similar note, any reblogs to spread the word will be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for at least checking this post out! 💕

I'm looking forward to stitching things for ya! 🧵

Hey guys! I'm finally taking a shot at commissions to aid with my time in college, and my bro when he needs a little help! Rules and styles in the pics above, and if you're interested then please fill out this Google form and I'll reach out asap!

Additionally, if you want to help support me but can't afford a commission at this time, I do have a Ko-fi page set up! Every little bit helps, and thank you for at least reading this! 💖

[crystalsoulstudios]

Well, I can’t edit this into the original post, so I’ll just add it here! 

I am now able to offer sending you a 1.5″ pinback button of your commission! :D

Firstly, you MUST be able to provide an address, otherwise I can't send it. Second, I can handle the shipping for domestic orders in the US, but if you're international, be warned that it gets really pricey. I wish this weren't the case, but alas. Just be sure to keep it in mind.

Also, to promote this new commission addition, I’m offering a $5 discount on all commission orders! I’m starting with 3 discounted slots for now, but may add more in the future! Be sure to keep an eye out!

Slot 1: TAKEN Slot 2: [OPEN] Slot 3: [OPEN]

Sorry I cut it so close to the deadline, but here’s my @fieldsofvesuvia gift for @myonlystorm! She asked for her fan apprentice Ekaterina laying in a field of baby’s breath after realizing she had the plague. They also mentioned liking blue lotuses, so I included one as well considering their symbolism for rebirth, which feels fitting for the apprentice. Ekaterina is absolutely gorgeous and I had a lot of fun working with her! So I hope I did her justice!

This was a very sweet event, so thank you to the mods at @fieldsofvesuvia for hosting it! And thank you @myonlystorm for the chance to work with your apprentice!

Oh gosh, I super appreciate the promo! But allow me to clarify real quick that these aren’t for preorder. In fact, they’re in hand right now and ready to ship out! Well, as soon as I’m done with finals this week lol, but yeah they’re here and ready to find good homes! There should be links to either Storenvy or Bigcartel in my blog description, so any curious buyers can go for whichever shop they prefer!

[mrs-han]

Asked for some emojis over on Instagram, and used them to do some expression practice with Nerida!

😳: Standard reaction to Asra’s teasing or flirting. She’s a cute blusher. Make her blush more. seriously, it’s actually very easy to do

😑: Honestly, this would be her reaction to just about any of the Lucio interactions in Heart Hunter, but this one felt best to use at the time

😏: When you hang around your master/lover so much that you learn his knife cat ways. Bonus points if using it on him. (Two versions cuz I couldn’t decide which I liked better)

[fausts-snecrets]

Another expression practice from Insta, but since I got a few 😱 emojis, I decided to do more than just Nerida. So I dragged in my other two OCs I’m using for The Arcana, Hasani and Kagami!

Nerida’s expression was easy to figure out. I just kept picturing her covering her mouth and worked with that.

Hasani was relatively easy, since he has a phobia of being physically bound or restrained (and he’s my OC for Julian’s route, so that’s been interesting!). If restrained, he’ll start to have a severe panic attack. That really the only time you’ll see him like this, since it takes A LOT to scare him otherwise.

Kagami was actually pretty hard to figure out. She sees herself as a protector, and she’s able to hide her fear incredibly well, if she feels it at all. So it was hard to get a reaction out of her for this. But everyone has a breaking point, and this is about what she’d look like at hers.
