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.

Custom figurines & figure commissions.
I make custom and personalized figurines 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.

Selected work
Choose your starting point
Your character.
Your commission.
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. For a realistic statue or bust of a person, see custom statues and busts from photos.
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.
Video game characters
Armor, weapons, effects, and a display base all affect the scope. See character figure commissions from your reference art and the Pudge Dota 2 commission to compare a finished piece with the idea you have in mind.
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.
Original sculpture and busts
For a one-of-one fine-art piece rather than a figure — a bust, a tribute, or an original object — see original sculpture and bust commissions.
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 commissions.
Three different worlds.
Each brief calls for different choices: the glowing LED effect on Urek's raised hand, the pose and costume of an anime character, or She-Ra’s gold armour and silver sword. 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.
Commissions
Custom figure commission — how it works.
Every custom figure commission starts with your references: character art, screenshots, or a written brief. We agree the pose, base, scale, and finish up front in a private proposal — then sculpt, print in high-resolution resin, and hand-paint every detail. Most custom figure commissions complete in 2–3 months with insured worldwide shipping.
Figurine commission timeline and what's included.
A figurine commission with Luminary Studios includes digital sculpting, 8K resin printing, museum-grade hand-painting, and a signed one-of-one finish. You approve the sculpt before paint begins, and progress photos keep you in the loop until your piece ships insured, anywhere in the world.
Custom figure commissions, made one-of-one.
From anime and video game characters to original designs, custom figure commissions are built one-of-one — never recast, never mass-produced. If you can picture it, it can be sculpted. Tell us about your idea and we'll work out the details.
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.
