How the work starts
The first useful step is a clear idea. Scope can become more precise as the work develops.
01
Send the references
Provide clear photos, the preferred size, and the details that cannot be lost.
02
Agree on interpretation
Discuss which features must be exact and where the sculpt can use artistic judgment.
03
Review the progress
Use WIP photos to make early corrections while they are still practical.
Common questions
Use these answers to decide whether the service fits your project.
How many photos are needed?
More angles help, especially for likeness work. The studio can discuss what is possible when references are limited.
Can the piece be shipped internationally?
Yes. Every finished sculpture is packed in custom suspension crating and shipped via DHL Express or FedEx Priority with full international insurance and real-time tracking.
What if I only have a few photos?
Send everything available, including different ages and angles. Likeness work is scoped honestly from the references at hand, and any gaps are discussed before a deposit is paid.
How long does a pet sculpture take?
Most pet sculptures follow the standard two to three month production window. For a birthday, gift or remembrance date, state it in the first message so the schedule can be confirmed.
