Description
Little Pleco fish plushie for a commissioner
Personally I call them sucker fish, but whatever you call them, they're the kind that like to suck the sides of the fish tank. Commissioner requested I put a suction cup mouth on him so he can cling to windows and cars and what have you 8D In the bottom left picture he's clinging to my mirror x3
He's about 7-8 inches long and is made out of super cool shiny dotted fabric that reminded me SO much of the plecos I use to have

That is adorable! I have a Pleco myself (her name is Scooter). This plush is very cute (wants one for the car)

Wow!! I generally don't think plecos are cute, but this plush is definitely cute! I was just searching for one for a birthday present and your site came up on google. I am definitely interested after seeing the picture you posted! I have several questions:
1. How much would it be to make it about half the size (but still with a suction cup in the mouth)?
2. Would it be possible to make it into a keychain or cell phone charm?
3. I'm thinking about getting a pair, but one with a lighter color but same fabric pattern, do you have a lighter color pattern available?
4. I see that your commissions are currently closed. How much time before your next open slot and how would I know...do I just keep checking back on your main page for an open slot or is there a waiting list?
5. If I were to get multiple...3 or 4 most likely (I can totally see these as great xmas gifts for my family & friends who are all pleco lovers), would I have to wait. I guess my question is....is it one item per commission slot or is it one order or customer per commission slot? And are there any discounts for multiple orders? And how long would it take?
Thanks!

Thank you very much for your comment! I'm glad you enjoy my pleco plush
1. Half the size would make it about 4 inches long. At that size, with the suction cup, it will cost $35 plus shipping costs.
2. Absolutely! I could easily attach a keyring and a loop at no additional charge.
3. Currently I just have the shiny black, but I shop all over the internet for fabric so I'm sure we could find something that you like
4. Commissions are closed for the time being, as I am getting my business licensing taken care of. Almost done though! You can keep watch on my deviantart page for updates, because I will create a new journal update when new slots are open. I will also make note on my etsy. Or if you give me your email address, I can make you part of my email newsletter subscribers, who get notification by email when commissions will be opening. As far as when they will open, I am thinking in August or September. I am waiting on one plushie license to come back to me to make everything official, and I have about 3 plush orders to make before I open the commission lists to the public. There is no waiting list, it is done as a first-come-first-serve basis.
5.Commissions will be taken on the basis of how many plushies I feel I can get done in one month. So if you were one of the first people to contact me after the slots open, I can easily take 3 or 4 of these small plushie orders from you at once, because I know I could get them all done in one month. So it is not limited to one plush per slot. There are discounts for multiple orders, yes
I think that answers it all! If there's anything I missed, or if you have any further questions, feel free to contact me

OMG O_O how much would a commission of another one be?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sorry for this late reply, I'll answer your question here:
You had asked about the pricing of my pleco plushies.
A mini keychain one would be $30.
Around 6" long would be $45
Around 12" long would be $100
And large, around 18", would be $150
Thank you for your interest

I think this is one of the cutest plushies I've ever seen, how much did you charge for the commission? c:

thank you so much!
I can't recall the exact price that was charged, but for something similar including the suction cup mouth I would now charge in the range of $60. It would be cheaper without the suction.
Though I'm working on a bigger, more realistic pattern of these guys lately too

How much would it be without the suction cup mouth, out of curiosity? I would definitely prefer a smaller plush, if I were to buy one. ^^' More like...hand-sized. xD;

Where DID you get that awesome scaly fabric? It's almost as amazing as the plush itself!
PS- I replied to your message on my journal or something a while ago, did you get it? DA was being really glitchy that day with my darn inbox, so I dunno if it went through or not.
