Finding a Customizer

Posted in Custom Workstation

I myself am a customizer, but I tend to fall short on the finer details. Mainly small detail work, heads/faces, etc.

Now I know of a few of the head guys in the field who do commissions, But I know there are a lot more. How would I go about contacting them? Does anyone have a list of seasoned commissioners? Other than Jin Saotome and Shinobitron. I know they're awesome, I just want to expand my options

Thanks

I agree, it is something you should attempt yourself. If you purchase some casted heads or some older wrestling figs aa they have more realistic face sculpts at a cheaper price. Then watch some youtube face sculpting videos. Learning to do them yourself is the best way. Just remeber to do it in layers so you can perfect one area before moving on. Get some oil clay and practice. This can be reused and doesn't dry out. If you make something really nice in oil clay it can be molded using calcite then casted in resin.

What have ya got to lose? Pick a base figure and let it rip or pick your choice of custom around a base you already have with low risk. If you aren't happy with the head, you could always swap it later. Finally, you could sell your output if it comes out well to finance a commission. Everyone wins!

Countpichula here on the forum does fantastic work but I know he is pretty busy at the moment but you should send him a pm with questions

I would do them but I'm currently not available for commissions till May. You could always sign up to procustomizers there are plenty of customizers there.
