# About me
I am a aspiring concept artist and illustrator for film and video games. I studied at the Otis College of Art and Design where I doubled majored in Digital Media and Fine Arts. After collage I started my own company with my friend, Tearatone, called "The Props Shop," where we work to bring the imagined to life. We work from video games, tv shows, anime, films, etc and are inspired to create the amazing pieces from them using the most durable and lightweight materials possible. I am a professional prop maker and avid cosplayer. I love going to cons, showing off my hard work and getting my pictures taken. Hanging out with friends, strange conversations, it's great. I really enjoy making my props, every project is a unique puzzle for me to figure out, trying to turn fantasy into reality. I always say that props help keep me sane, because in all my daily repetition, they are something that is different, something that gets finished and stays done. So, should you ever have that hard to approach prop you're trying to make, I'm happy to advise or take on commissions!Current Residence: California

I think one of your pictures has been stolen: andrushonchik.deviantart.com/aβ¦

well the link doesn't work anymore, so I'm going to assume either the image or the account has been taken down. Thank you for your concern though!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep, the account got deactivated. Wasn't entirely sure but they had a photo that featured the same little girl in the same costume so I presumed it was part of what you took.

Hello.
Do you take commissions? I'm looking into purchasing Qrow Branwen's sword. Send me a message at teichou_hitsugaya_toshirou@yahoo.com with a quote if you do. I would send some pictures with the message, but I can't figure out how. If you'd like to see some pictures, send a message to my e-mail.
For referencing, I suggest watchingΒ roosterteeth.com/episode/rwby-β¦Β as of 5:10. This is where the character is really shown off with his weapon.
Thanks,

Oh I'm always taking commissions! I'll go ahead and send you a email

Heyo, sorry about that, it's been a busy month and my internet keeps going down (stupid country living). I've got the base going on, I'll go ahead and load a pic in the next day or two. Thanks for your patience!

Hey! I got my staff in the mail yesterday. just wanted to let you know! I also made an unboxing video if you wanna check it out <3

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you liked it =3 Haha I made you earn it getting it out of that box huh?
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL oh yeah XD Big box, and lots of coupon papers haha I thought that was kinda funny ^_^ Once I get used to this staff I'll totally have to commission a bigger staff in the future. But for now, this works great for photos and simple cosplay ^__^
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha newspaper is free and it does a good job keeping the junk in place. Enjoy the staff and let me know when you're ready for a commission
π: 0 β©: 1
true true. We don't get the newspaper anymore since none of us read it lol. But that is a clever idea.
Is there any way to say like, make a middle piece for the staff? like a piece to connect the other two to make it bigger whenΒ I want it. Just curious.
π: 0 β©: 1
If you need a middle piece, just let me know and I can make you one for $20 plus $8 for shipping. It's easy enough, I just have to make sure the paints line up proper haha
π: 0 β©: 1
really? Cool I gotta save up for a bit but I'll let you know when I want a middle piece :3

Hey there! Its JokerGirltf2 from Etsy...I was wondering, how is my staff coming along? I made the order back in July, and its September now and I haven't heard much of anything since our last conversation. Will I be seeing the staff update anytime soon? I'm hoping it will be done well before December comes around and I get all that fabulous snow where I live lol

Hello! Sorry, the last few weeks I've been prepping for a convention last weekend I was selling at. I'm now back in the shop working on my orders and commissions. 
π: 0 β©: 1
ok awesome! I'm glad to hear back from you :3
π: 0 β©: 0
May I ask how did you make your kitty mask off of Courage the cowardly dog?Because I am going to be her for Halloween. ^^Β Β
π: 0 β©: 0
Just shoot me a note with the piece you have in mind, photo links, when you roughly need it by, and if you have a rough estimate on your budget. Look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you, I sent you a message

Hello. I've been sending you multiple messages regarding a prop commission for an upcoming convention. As it stands the con is next week and I still don't know how much of it you've completed. You mentioned being at a convention Memorial Day weekend and told me you would send progress photos when you got home. I have yet to receive any such photo a week after the fact, nor have I received any correspondence since that last message. I am hoping that you will see this comment since the prop still has to be completed and shipped to the other side of the country before the 11th as that is the first day of the convention. Please respond.

Sorry about that, I lost my aircard and live in the country, so I've been offline for the last week. I've gone ahead and loaded progress photos of your staff on my gallery, and I'm going to focus on your prop so I can have it finished and ready to go by the end of the week.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you very much, I was getting concerned about the progress and not hearing back. Thank you for responding, and thank you in advance for focussing on this prop! Out of curiosity, would there be a better mode of communication for you? If not then that's fine. Thank you again!

Oh I've got the net back, so I'm actually able to talk to my clients again haha! If you really would like another way to contact me, my email is ashley@thepropsshop.com

Well, it really depends on the mask itself, if you want a cast of one I've already made, or if you need a custom piece done, the difficulty and details on it, and the materials we go with. So what mask did you have in mind?
π: 0 β©: 1
i want a mask from the manga akumetsu now its a guy on this site who created it but now is inactive i cant find him i search the entire online world still cant find him so he left the greatest blue print from scratch from the mold to the paint job but i just need you to be honest that you can take on such a task and make the mask basically identical to it i need it for a music video so it has to be on point. Β Now you can google Akumetsu to know more about the manga and mask but below is the mask and you can say the best Example for it

I'm not sure I currently know how to make a mold that will handle those horns. What I use typically would tear with horns like that. I suppose I could ether make it out of worbla if you'd like, or if you'd like to pay for the mold, I can either look into a different molding material that's tougher, or do a one-time mold that I'll cut apart to get the mask cast out of. Let me know what you think

Everything arrived safely! I'm terrified I might accidentally break the ankle cuffs, but I'm still super happy with how everything turned out. Thank you again so much!
