Studio Commissions Open

About

I build costumes meant to be photographed and worn hard — engineered for the camera and the convention floor. Every commission is made by hand, from foam and fabric to resin and paint.

Frequently asked

How far out do you book? +

Usually one to three months depending on the build size and the season. Check the live status on the commission page — if commissions are closed, join the waitlist to hear when they reopen.

How does the deposit work? +

Once you approve the quote, a non-refundable deposit reserves your slot in the build queue. The remaining balance is due near completion, before shipping. Materials are passed through at cost.

How do measurements and fit work? +

I send a measurement guide after the quote is approved, and build to your numbers. Sewn pieces include a fitting pass; armor and props are sized from your measurements and references.

Do you ship? +

Yes — builds are constructed to survive shipping and con travel, and packed to arrive ready to wear. International shipping is available; customs and duties are the buyer’s responsibility.

Can you work from my reference? +

Absolutely. Original designs and reference-matched character builds are both welcome — send whatever you have and we’ll fill in the gaps together.

Do you take rush jobs? +

Sometimes, depending on the current queue and the deadline. Flag your con date in the request and I’ll tell you honestly whether it’s doable.

What if I need a change mid-build? +

Small adjustments are part of the process — I check in at key stages with progress photos so we catch anything early. Larger scope changes are re-quoted before I proceed.
