Hire me to sculpt

I deliver geometry that survives manufacturing — not just a pretty viewport. Every file leaves here cut, hollowed and print-tested for the process you're actually using.

// Three ways to work together
[ 01 ]

Tabletop miniatures

For game publishers, studios and self-publishers.

Historical and sci-fi figures, vehicles and terrain at 15–35mm. Production-ready for SLA resin, FDM, or handed off for tooling and injection moulding.

Commissions start at $450 USD

A straightforward single figure lands near the starting point. Scale, part count and complexity move it up — every project is quoted on its own brief.

Bobbleheads & collectibles

For brands, franchises, promotional and licensing programs.

Caricature and likeness sculpting for collectible figures — the same production discipline, applied to character merchandise. Prior brand work includes the Marlins, Hurricanes, Texans, Florida Panthers, Eagles, Romero Britto and Ron Jon Surf Shop.

Photo ops, environment props & art installations

For venues, events, agencies and sports franchises.

Large-format work at human scale — photo ops built to be posed with, environment props that dress a space, and standalone art installations. Sculpted, engineered for fabrication and specified for the shop that builds them. The service set I ran at Unique Rabbit Studios, alongside franchise work across the Marlins, Hurricanes, Texans, Florida Panthers and Eagles.

// The baseline

What every commission includes

  • Alignment pass — I read your brief and come back with scale, silhouette and pose direction before sculpting.
  • High-resolution sculpt — ZBrush, detailed for the scale you're printing at, not for a render.
  • Two revision rounds — at blockout and at detail stage.
  • Print preparation — hollowed, part-split, keyed, and test-printed on FDM or SLA as appropriate.
  • Presentation render — one KeyShot hero shot you can use for your campaign or store page.
  • Delivery — production files plus a print-settings note for your caster or printer.

What moves a quote above the starting point

  • Multi-part vehicles, mounts, monsters and anything above ~35mm.
  • Variant kits — alternate heads, arms, poses built for modularity.
  • Tooling-ready output for injection moulding (draft angles, mould-line planning).
  • Revisions beyond the two included rounds.
  • Rush scheduling.

How it runs

  1. Brief — you send references, scale, process (FDM / SLA / tooling) and deadline.
  2. Quote & slot — fixed price and a start date. 50% to book, 50% on delivery.
  3. Blockout — silhouette and pose for sign-off before any detail work.
  4. Detail & print test — sculpt to final, then print it to prove it works.
  5. Delivery — files, render, print notes.
