When I listed the second VintageBeef plushie on Etsy, I received an inquiry from somebody else about a VintageBeef plushie. Over the next few weeks to a couple months I just started to accrue a list of people willing to wait until September for their plushies!
VintageBeef III made an appearance on the Mindcrack
subreddit:
Unfortunately, after a month his buyer hadn't contacted me.
Thankfully, there's a waiting list, and the next person was more
than happy to give Beef III his forever home.
During this time, I had also been hard at work on my first-ever Zisteau plushie. He ended up being a whole lot more work (because of all the color-changes) and I had been sick, which didn't help me keep on track.
Thankfully, his buyer was so understanding, and was thrilled with the result:
Mindcrack Plushie Series #5
Of course, I also did some gimmick photos. The one that made a
Reddit appearance was:
This one to date has received the lowest karma.
I think it was the time of day I posted it.
However, I did also tweet the photo to the buyer, and I included Zisteau at the same time. She and I had mutual fangirl fiestas when this happened:
A couple days after that, I also tweeted this picture, but did not tag Zisteau.
Yup, I had a bed full of Mindcrackers. I also did another photo op with them, but I'm saving the pictures for a future release, when there's downtime between plushies and I want to keep the followers on Facebook and Twitter entertained. ^_^
I think my favorite part of the Zisteau commission (other than the awesome sorry-for-making-the-buyer-wait lava bucket!) was that Midnight_Sentry fully intends to go to a MineCon and have Zisteau sign the plushie (I suggested to her the cape idea I used). She's promised to tweet me photos!
Mutual fangirlishness rocks!
Next time we'll have to talk about my (to date) most infamous Tweet!
