Comission Pieces - Sculptors

[Bullseye]

This is a question for kd and the sculpting gang. Do you do commission work or have you ever done commission work?

[Zurbaran1]

Bullseye, I think most sculptors will take on commission work but how much and when is going to depend on their schedule. These guys can get pretty busy and if they are working on retail product they may not have much time to devote to private commissions. Count on paying a pretty penny for a one of a kind commissioned piece from any one of these awesome sculptors. Most have taken on commissions and probably more so when they were first starting out.

[Bullseye]

I was thinking of that Zurb. If your prepared to pay say $1200 - $1600 for a SS piece you you be prepared to pay a similar price to a sculptor to do a one off piece. PS. It wouldn't have to be a one off piece. If there were a number of members on the board who would like a character done (say for example A Balrog) how many here would fork in to have say 10 made. You get the idea.

Trying to get this group to agree on which piece to commission would be an effort in futility!:D

How many to pony up for a Frankie Ray Gold Chrome Nova commission?:D

[Bullseye]

I bet I could get 10 people to agree to a character being made. Its agreeing how much they want to spend is the tricky part.

[Wayne Industries]

So what are WE having made???? :D

[Sniper]

depends on what character will be made and what is the final damage on the account

[Bullseye]

Well how about putting a list of five characters you'ed like to be made. Don't limit it to Marvel/DC if and LoTR stuff interests you.

1. A Balrog Piece
2. A Spider-man Piece
3. A Thor/Silver Surfer Piece
4. A Hulk Piece
5. A Darth Vader

Just a few examples.

isn't there a limit to sculpts (as in under 20 pieces) being made before a ceast to desist order is filed?? just thought I saw that somewhere??

[Kdawg59]

Yeah you can have a limited amount and I'm told fly under the radar. But it depends and I don't know for certain... But with Sideshow and Gentle giant??? I heard they really bulldog the Garage kitters... Like I aid I can't be certain but i remember hearing about how someone had a sculpt of a piece on his site and they slammed him with a C&D... It wasn't even more than a portfolio piece... I could be wrong, it's just a scary thought nonetheless...

You could be right too Wayne... like I said I'm not completely sure, I don't wanna fiond out though:( LOTR seems like a hornets nest to me...

yeah you're right, :thumbs2: don't really see any compelling reason to wake up the sleeping dragons....

[Bullseye]

This would be a very limited number as I can't imagine more than 20 people agreeing on the same character.

[Sniper]

one piece I would like made is the original sketch of the bowen gargoyle statue. IT is on the sleeve and his postion is off the gargoyle with his arm extended . If I had the sleeve I would post it

[nbr3bagshotrow]

I'm in on a Johnny Quest commission.

[DDura711]

I would want Mephisto on his Throne, Adam Warlock from the cover of Infinity Watch 1, & Eternity

[Kdawg59]

you know it would awesome to have a mega diorama of the cover to Secret wars #1!!! WOW!

[Jerseydevil]

I'd definitely be in on a Harley Quinn commission.

Cheers Jim. Must put some thought into it.

[Sniper]

I do sculpts on the cheap, check out my site at www.koolsculptz.com Particulars to look at are my sculpt of the crow and yoda

[AstroWho]

I asked a few well known sculptors here about Commissions. Some quoted $2500.00 to $3000.00 for each character. So, be prepared to Pay!
