Oh! I didn't know you were on DA too!
You may not remember me, but we talked last summer/spring about alicorn bjds. I bought just a normal earth male bjd while we discussed it and finished it up at last (Early September, so I'm late with this) and thought you might like to see what became of it <3

I had so much fun making and painting him, I was wondering if I could use your bases for commissions? Obviously I'll wait for your answer before I start waving around the commission flag since you did modify/make it xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
as long as you buy the bases from me and give credit back to me then you are free to do so. Right now I am selling them directly from shapeways (the 3d printing company I use to print my models) but you will need to string them etc. I can also do a bulk order directly through me with a small discount.
PROPER CREDIT= Any listing for sale or sale discussion must clearly state the base model is created by Silverbeam dolls and must have a link to my shapeways shop, also any sale you make please include a business card or flyer/note with my shop name and shop link.)

Hope that all makes sense and sounds reasonable.

That's sounds more than reasonable (but if I do bulk buy, I want you to have every penny you deserve 
However some questions:
Could I buy some of your cards? I just feel wrong copying your card ;∆;
I see some models in your gallery that isn't for sale in your Shapeways. Is this something planned or did Shapeway decide to be a royal butt?
Also: I know you kinda went off of the MLP and stuff, but I was wondering if perhaps we could work with each other in the future to expand the 'types' of ponies and stuff? Either it be me pitching ideas and blueprints and such or just a commission; I would love to. I don't have a computer though (I'm trying to get one currently. Slowly but surely...) so I'm unable to do any 3D things.
I have all kinds of blueprints but I'm unsure of how to make them real. Not just for the main pony base but the kinds of ponies too (dragon tails, different body types, bat wings, ect.).

---> If you get ponies through me then I would be happy to send you cards, if you get the prints via shapeways, if you don't mind paying shipping I can send a bunch. Otherwise I can send you my business card file that you can print out or order made from vistaprint or other printing company.

-----> a little of everything.. some hasn't been updated or listed, some is their but might be a little confusing as the m6 large pony version is in mix and match file parts.... Some was too annoying or expensive to put up due to the new pricing model that shapways changed to.
BJD dolls of my own design and BJD items is my main shop focus, I don't get much time to spend on various commission and outside projects, so if it is simple or quick then it might be doable but ponies are really my focus. I have thought about revisiting and remaking the BJD pony model from scratch and doing more with it, but I would have to get several big and important personal projects done before I would even think about doing more.

i know you use shapewear for people to get their things printed, but do you offer someone to buy the models themselves? (not for resale, just personal use) I found you through another site, but it only allowed streaming of the model, and it's not compatible with my 3d printer. (i am getting a dremel idea 3d printer)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't generally sell my models even if for personal use only. The only place I do is as one of my perks for my patreon account: www.patreon.com/silverbeam
I either create or choose a model from my library to send to my patrons every month. Sometimes I take votes or suggestions on the models, but usually it is at my discretion.

Thank you for the information!

I just wanted to say I really admire your work, making 3D printed BJDs is my dream and I can't tell you how wonderful it is to find such a talented artist demonstrating that it can be done, and done beautifully. I wish you all the best!

Awe, thanks so much! It's been five years so I have learned a lot, and Hope to keep improving and designing more dolls. Good luck in your endeavors!
If interested I do offer lessons with my patreon 
Or sometimes I do a livestream to show off my work, that is free.

Do you know anyone else who would make the different accesories and dolls because i wanted some too... :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most items that I used to make and sell I am working on getting them available on my shapeways shop so at least people can purchase the 3D prints and DIY (paint or assemble).
If their is anything in specific let me know, otherwise their are tons of different shops on etsy/ebay/taobao, etc, not too many I know do cosplay doll props and of course no one else does my dolls, but their are lots of good dolly stuff out there.

Hi i was wondering if you can help, i saw your 3D design of loki's staff from avengers assemble and I'm trying to find images based on the staff when he's in germany using it as a kind of walking stick, if you have any images I'd appreciate it because I'm trying to get someone to replicate it for myself as a walking stick to use everyday
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ugh, finding images was really hard! I didn't get much, getting the movie and grabbing stills is going to be your best bet

thank you for faving one of my sweets a while ago
may the Llama I offer in return remind you of my gratitude if you ever decide to any of my other works in the future since I won't be spaming you with more 'thank you' notes but I'm always happy to answer comments or questions if you have any
on unrelated note I think your use of 3D printing is amazing! the technology is quite new yet you managed to use it for art-making already! what a great way to make your imagination come to life!

Sure no problem.
Yeah been doing it for over three eyars now and love it. I just purchased my own 3D printer so it will be a lot of fun to play with when it arrives.

Your work is fascinating! As an artist homebound with gobs of health problems myself, I'm so impressed by the wonderful creatures you're making as a vocation! I was doing a lot of couture bjd knitwear several years back, & wouldn't you know it, right after I got into Haute Doll with it, I developed chronic intractable migraines that were totally crippling when you're working small & intricate! Grrr. I'm hoping to get back into it if I can...I even have a pile of unsold knits waiting around! Some day...

thank you very much, and thanks for sharing. There's a lot of us that wish we could do more and are so creative but our bodies hold us back. WE just strive onwards at the pace we can and let our creative spirit keep us going.
Migraines suck, I don't get them too often but I feel for ya.
