ChaosKnights puppylove713 I've never tried that, but I'm also not really sure how to go about that... Well as a suggestion if your skills are good enough you can sell your work online to cosplayers. It's a good way to make some side money.

puppylove713 I mean how do you make props? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I'm serious... There are many different ways for many different people which revolves around the use of many different materials such as wood, paper mache, plastic, foam, etc. The end goal is simply to make the item that was requested to the best of your ability while being durable.

puppylove713 Hmm, that doesn't sound much different than a sculpture... But I don't know of anybody who would ask for anything. It's at cosplay.com You need at least to make 10 posts and wait a month before you can start as a comissioner. But once you've done that you can check out the marketplace under 'comissions wanted' where people posts items that they want to which comissioners take on the job for certain prices.

ChaosKnights Zero the Crimson Agreed! Though I gotta say it's gonna be hard to top this chapter. I mean Kagami in a light of epicness, with a proclamation so shocking even Options was surprised! Bet ya when he becomes principle and tears down everything that made the school what it was, he'll just quit. Even going to go as far as say that he'll only hold the office for one day before growing bored with it. That actually wouldn't be that surprising..

puppylove713 Hmm, that doesn't sound bad, but again I have absolutely nothing to work with in my house and no money to get it... That's why you choose the contract you want to take. But it's all a matter of luck if the one that fits your preferences come along. But nevertheless, depending on the person you contract you can ask for a deposit down payment to get you started then the rest of it when you're finished with the project.

Zero the Crimson That actually wouldn't be that surprising.. New chapter just came out. So Choices and Brouche Rolls are cousins huh. Makes me wonder who holds more power since Brouche Rolls is in control of the main branch.

That reminds me, I read another manga by the same author. It's so different and yet in a way just as interesting.

puppylove713 Is that what you do or something? It changes from comissioner to comissioner. But the general consensus of all comissioners is that the deposit will strictly cover materials so that in the event the contracted decides to back out you won't be out on your butt with material cost. Example wise in my case, I make prop swords for about $120. Material wise I ask for a deposit of $30. Then comes the cost of shipping it to wherever the person is which is about $20. So in the end I make a profit of $70 roughly. Some of the more high end comissioners can ask for more as they have the skills to back up what they're asking for. For those asking for entire costumes, a comissioner can go as far as asking between $500 to $1000. But this requires quite a high level of dedication to do.

puppylove713 I actually know how to use a sewing machine too. I could do something like costumes, but I'm not sure how well they turn out because I have never done anything like that. But I don't have a sewing machine, but my mom does and I still live with her, so I do have access to it... It's entirely up to you. But I'd suggest starting out small just to gather a reputation for yourself as well as confidence in your abilities.
