Small, specific, painted
Keep the oversized head, compact body, and a pose that still reads as that character on a desk or shelf.
CHIBI / NENDOROID-STYLE FIGURE COMMISSION · MANILA
Custom chibi and nendoroid-style figure commission Philippines.
Luminary Studios builds one-of-one chibi and nendoroid-style figures from character art and conversations, then finishes each surface by hand in Manila. Paint is the art. Collector work — not a licensed Nendoroid, not a catalog item.
Who this is for
Use this path when the brief is a chibi, super-deformed, or nendoroid-style portrait of a character you have the right to commission as a display piece.
OC and VTuber
The same character, smaller
Chibi is a scale and a proportion, not a different studio. Original characters and talent-owned designs fit this path.
Not a licensed line
Nendoroid-style, not official
This is one-of-one collector sculpture in a chibi proportion. It is not Good Smile Company merch and not a Nendoroid product.
What the studio will and will not claim
The work is collector sculpture. The paint carries the feeling. Affiliation is not part of the offer.
No IP claims
Not licensed merch
Luminary does not sell official Nendoroid merchandise and does not claim partnership with Good Smile Company or any IP holder. Send a design you have the right to commission.
Custom figurines
Not a template with a name added
The custom figurines page is the same rule here: posture, expression, clothing, colors, and details belong to the subject.
Collector display
Paint is the art
Each commission is a one-of-one piece. Sculpt, cast, and hand-paint happen in Manila at Luminary Studios PH.
How the work starts
The first useful step is a clear brief through the existing commission form. Scope can become more precise as the work develops.
01
Send the chibi brief
Include character art, the proportion you want (chibi or nendoroid-style), pose, preferred size, face and hair notes, budget range, and deadline. Use the commission form on the homepage.
02
Resolve the design
Agree on the details that must remain faithful and the areas where sculptural interpretation is welcome. Color, silhouette, and expression are decided here.
03
Finish for display
Sculpt, prepare, paint, and finish the piece around the intended display context. The paint is where the model becomes present.
Common questions
Use these answers to decide whether the service fits your project. A real quote still needs the brief.
Yes. Character art and a short note on face, hair, and must-keep details are suitable starting references. Send a design you have the right to commission.
No. Nendoroid is a product line Luminary does not sell or partner with. This page is for a one-of-one chibi or nendoroid-style collector piece.
The public guide is about ₱2,000 per inch. That is a guide, not a rate card. Face work, hair, and accessories change the number. Send the brief for a real quote.
Use the commission form on the Luminary homepage. A public reply-within-24h note is already on that page.
Next step
Send the brief.
Include the model references, pose, size, timeline, and any constraint that cannot change. Use the commission form on the homepage.
