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.

Commission a sculpture made for your collection.
Work directly with Charles Luminary on an original sculpture, custom figure, repaint, or resin print finish. Each project is scoped individually, with progress photographs and shipping arranged for your destination.
What I do
Different starting points.
The same standard.
Figure Repainting
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 →3D Print Finishing
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 →Original Sculpture
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 →Cultural Pieces
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 →Bloominary Workshops
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.
Explore workshops →A custom figure, a customized figure, and a personalized figurine are different briefs. Custom, customized, and personalized figures matches each phrase to a service.
The process
No mystery.
Just craft.
Show me the idea
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.
We define the work
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.
I build and update
You receive progress photos while the piece moves through sculpting, printing, cleanup, painting, and finishing. Corrections happen while they are still useful.
You receive the piece
Insured courier shipping (DHL Express / FedEx Priority) is arranged with custom-engineered shock-absorbing foam and reinforced crating so your sculpture arrives pristine anywhere in the world.
This is not mass production.
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.
Deciding between paths: commission vs mass-produced · repaint vs recommission · commissioning from overseas. Plan the stages and approvals with the custom sculpture timeline guide.
