Custom Figurines
A person, a pet, an original character, or an idea that exists only in your head. I turn references into a one-of-one display piece built around your story.

Luminary Studios is one artist, one workbench, and a lot of patience. I sculpt, print, repair, repaint, and finish pieces for people who care about the difference between finished and merely done.
What I do
A person, a pet, an original character, or an idea that exists only in your head. I turn references into a one-of-one display piece built around your story.
Explore custom figurines →If the sculpt is right but the factory paint is not, I rebuild the finish by hand. Realistic, cel-shaded, cleaner, darker, stranger, or closer to the source.
Explore repainting →Layer lines, seams, support marks, and flat primer are not a finished piece. I clean, fill, sand, prime, paint, and seal prints until the machine disappears.
Explore print finishing →For pieces that need to be built from nothing. Clay, foam, putty, resin, mixed media, digital sculpting, or whatever the form actually needs.
Start a sculpture commission →Filipino stories, symbols, and characters treated with research and respect. Not decoration with a flag added later. The culture belongs in the idea from the start.
View cultural work →Hands-on figure painting for beginners and makers who want stronger finishes. Brush control, gradients, eyes, airbrush work, color, and the small decisions that make a piece feel alive.

Send references, the size you have in mind, your deadline, and the part you care about most. A rough idea is fine. Good references make it easier to quote honestly.
I tell you what is possible, what I would change, what it will cost, and how long it should take. If the brief needs to shrink or become more ambitious, we decide before work begins.
You receive progress photos while the piece moves through sculpting, printing, cleanup, painting, and finishing. Corrections happen while they are still useful.
Pickup is simplest in Metro Manila. Nationwide and international shipping are available, with packing handled around the actual piece rather than a generic box size.
I do not make medals, ceremony trophies, or bulk promotional objects. Luminary Studios is for one-off sculptures, collector pieces, careful repaints, and finishes that need an artist's eye. If that is what your idea needs, we will probably work well together.
Start with the idea
You do not need a perfect brief. Send the references, size, budget, and deadline you have. We can work out the rest.
