Custom Figurine Maker · Philippines
Some ideas deserve more than a photo on a screen. I make custom figurines from people, pets, original characters, and personal stories, then finish every surface by hand in Manila.
What this is
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.
How it happens
Send clear photos from several angles when possible. Tell me the size, deadline, preferred style, and the detail that absolutely has to survive the translation.
I define the pose, proportions, materials, base, and finish. This is where a scattered folder of references becomes one coherent object.
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.
Cleanup, primer, skin, fabric, shadows, eyes, small accents, and protective coats. The paint carries more of the final feeling than most people expect.

Sometimes. More angles are better, especially for a portrait or pet. If references are limited, we agree on what must be accurate and where artistic interpretation is unavoidable.
Yes. Metro Manila pickup is simplest, but nationwide and international shipping are available. Shipping and packing are quoted around the finished piece.
