Custom figurine maker & character commissions.

I create custom figures for collectors worldwide, working from your character sheets, photographs, or original designs. We agree on the pose, scale, base, and finish before the build begins.

Commissions are welcome from the Philippines and overseas. A short idea is enough to start; you do not need a model or complete references.

What this is

One-of-a-kind figurines
sculpted from your references.

A real custom figurine starts with the subject. The posture, expression, clothing, colors, base, and small details should belong to that person, pet, or character.

I work from photos, character sheets, sketches, moodboards, and conversations. If the references disagree, I help decide what the final piece should say. The goal is not simply recognition. The goal is presence.

If you came here looking for a statue maker, you are in the right place for collector-scale statues and display figures. Trophies, medals, ceremony awards, and bulk promotional objects are not part of the studio's work.

  • People, couples, families, and personal tributes
  • Pet figurines and memorial pieces
  • Original characters and creator-owned designs
  • Character-inspired collector pieces
  • Display bases, props, and environmental details
  • Hand-painted resin and mixed-media finishes

Choose your starting point

Your character.
Your commission.

Anime and original characters

A character sheet, costume version, expression, and pose help define a new figure. Explore anime figure commissions and the completed Urek Mazino statue for examples of character detail and painted finish.

Photos into a stylized figure

Combine photos with a preferred illustration or anime style. Agree on which facial features, hairstyle, clothing, and expression should remain recognizable. The Kobe × Sanji project shows one completed character reinterpretation; your likeness and style are scoped individually.

VTubers and creator avatars

A 2D reference sheet is enough to start. Use the VTuber and mascot figure service for a physical version of an original avatar, with pose, base, and painted details agreed for your display.

An existing figure or model

If you already own the sculpt, you may need painting rather than a new figure. Choose figure repainting for an existing painted collectible or 3D print finishing and painting for an unpainted print. The words custom, customized, and personalized point at different jobs. This guide sorts them.

International collectors

Commission from
overseas.

You can discuss a custom figurine remotely with Charles. Start with the character or idea and your destination; references and display dimensions can follow. The private proposal defines the sculpting, painting, approvals, packing, and delivery scope before work begins.

Collectors in the Philippines follow the same worldwide commission process, with insured express delivery to Metro Manila and beyond.

A typical full commission takes two to three months, with timing confirmed for your piece. Tell Charles about a fixed event date at the start so production and shipping can be considered together. Read the overseas figure commissioning guide for reference preparation, progress reviews, and shipping questions.

How it happens

Digital sculpting, resin printing,
and hand painting.

Reference

Start with the person, pet or character you have in mind. We can work out references, size, deadline and the details that matter after your first message.

Design

We agree on the pose, proportions, materials, base, and finish. For a digitally sculpted piece, you review sculpt renders before fabrication. The proposal defines the approval checkpoints and revision scope.

Build

The piece may be hand-sculpted, digitally sculpted and printed, built in mixed media, or made through a combination of methods. The idea chooses the process.

Finish

Cleanup, primer, skin, fabric, shadows, eyes, small accents, and protective coats. The paint carries more of the final feeling than most people expect.

Selected commissions

Three ideas.
Three different worlds.

Each brief calls for different choices: the Sarimanok's ornament, Giannis's three-sword pose, or the painted firelight on Kobe's figure. Open the project galleries above to inspect the details, then tell Charles which character or idea you would like made. A short description is enough to start; references and dimensions can follow.

Questions

Before you inquire.

How much does a custom figurine cost?

Custom figurine commissions are quoted individually based on character detail, scale, fabrication hours, and hand-painted finish. Share your references and dimensions to receive a private proposal covering digital modeling, 8K resin printing, hand painting, custom suspension crating, and insured worldwide delivery.

How long does one take?

a custom figurine commission typically requires 8 to 12 weeks from slot reservation to delivery. This schedule accounts for digital sculpting revisions, high-precision 3D resin printing at 0.03mm layer height, surface preparation, multi-layer airbrushing, hand painting, and protective clear coating.

Can you work from only a few photos?

Yes. While multi-angle character sheets yield the fastest likeness approval, we frequently reconstruct three-dimensional figures from front and side photos or concept sketches, agreeing on key facial and costume landmarks before fabrication.

Can you turn a person into an anime-style figure?

Yes. Send photos of the person and references for the style you have in mind. We agree on the features to preserve and how stylized the face, proportions, clothing, and pose should be. Sculpt renders provide an approval checkpoint before fabrication for digitally sculpted work.

Can I specify the exact height?

Share your target dimensions and whether the measurement includes the base, hair, or accessories. If the figure needs to fit a shelf or match a collection, include those measurements so the proposal can define the finished size.

How does international shipping and packing work?

Every figurine is encased in custom-cut shock-absorbing suspension foam inside a reinforced, impact-resistant crate. Shipments are dispatched with full transit insurance and tracking via DHL Express or FedEx Priority to collectors worldwide.

What does a custom figurine commission include?

A custom figurine commission covers the full build from your references: digital sculpting with pose and proportion approval, high-precision 8K resin printing, hand painting with protective clear coating, and custom suspension crating with insured worldwide delivery. Every commission starts with a private proposal so the scope is agreed before work begins.

Do you accept commissions from the Philippines?

Yes. Collectors in the Philippines follow the same worldwide commission process: share your references and destination to receive a private proposal, then track insured express delivery to your door. Start with the inquiry form below.
