| Commissions |
This info will be expanded upon when time allows but for now, here is a brief idea on commissioning a project in the meanwhile.
Please consider these tips to help expedite your requests and save time on both ends. Quotes are free, sketches are free, but please only request a sketch if you are serious as it can and often does take substantial time to think of designs and then commit them to paper.
If you know exactly what you want, go ahead and send an inquiry with as much detail as possible, some basic measurements and/or a photograph standing straight and facing the camera. And I'll reply back with a quote or more questions if I have any.
If you do not know exactly what you want, start by giving me a brief concept or general direction of what you're after and set a budget if you have one in mind and I'll spend time with you to figure out what will best suit you.
I've had countless inquiries that read similar to the following: "Hey, can you make dragon armor for me? If so, how much?"
Well, this kind of question is vague for a number of reasons. Mainly because there are no set parameters for any design and the design could vary in many diverse ways. Dragon armor is an especially diverse category since any number of textures could be added, as well as exotic horns and bones for spikes, using real gator or croc hide for example too. The list goes on and on and the moral of the story is to specify if at all possible. This isn't to say I can't come up with something if you really dont know, in fact I relish the opportunity to take artistic license and really this is where my best work comes into play.
Consider some of the following to help move things along:
Set a budget and decide if its firm or flexible.
Next, decide whether you'd rather have fewer pieces that are more ornate, or more pieces but less ornate. In example, you could get a basic set of armor with many pieces for $1500, or spend that same $1500 on something of higher quality but with fewer pieces.
Then decide which parts of the armor you'd like.
If you have any ideas already in mind, be sure to lay them out.
Think about what color choices you might want.
Where will it be used? Just for show and conventions? Role play or SCA combat? etc.
What sort of impression do you want the unsuspecting spectators to relay upon seeing you equipped in your new set of armor or costume?
You may want to look through my gallery and past work examples and then tell me what parts you like or dislike of various armors. This process isn't to pick which past armor you want made for you, but it will help me get a more intuitive feel for what will suit you best.
Sometimes a client will come to me and all they know is that they want to look cool for a convention. This is fine too and I'll work with you to create something that will suit you and impress bystanders.
