Nobody else has your character. You built them in the character creator, chose every piece of their kit, and spent more time with them than with some of your friends. No shop sells that figure, so it has to be made. We have had this request through our quote form, so here is how we go about it, for one character or a character and their companion.
What to send us
- Screenshots of the character from the front, both sides and the back. Photo mode or the character screen is ideal, with the camera turned around them.
- Close-ups of the face, and of any armour, weapons or details you care about.
- Screenshots of the companion taken the same way, if there is one: a sidekick, a pet or a mount.
- The pose, and whether the two should share a base or stand separately.
- Which details matter most, and which can be simplified at figurine size.
From screenshots to a sculpt
Game characters are designed to be seen moving, through a camera that is rarely straight on, so screenshots from several angles matter more here than anywhere. We sculpt from all of them together, fill in the views the game never showed you, and check those with you.
At around 15cm, the face, the silhouette and the colours of the kit are what make a character recognisable. Very fine patterning is painted rather than sculpted, which keeps it sharp at this size.
You see renders before anything is printed and can ask for changes. It is printed in resin and hand painted, and a companion can share the base or come as its own figure.
Size, material and finish
- Size
- Standard, around 15cm. Large, around 20cm, gives elaborate armour more room.
- Colour
- Hand painted, full colour, matched to your screenshots.
- Material
- Resin, for the finest detail in the face and the kit.
- Base
- Plain, engraved with their name, or one shared base for the character and the companion.
- Finish
- Matte or gloss, whichever suits the art style of the game.
How long it takes
The quote comes back within one working day with a lead time. Sculpting from screenshots usually takes a round or two of renders, so if it is a gift with a date, put the date in the form and tell us whether it can move.
Questions
What are the best screenshots to send?
Photo mode with the interface hidden, neutral lighting, the camera at chest height, and the character turned to the front, each side and the back. Add close-ups of the face. If the game has no photo mode, the character or inventory screen usually lets you rotate them.
Can you do the companion as well?
Yes, on a shared base or as a separate figure. Send screenshots of the companion the same way, plus one of the two together so their sizes against each other come out right.
Can I get it unpainted?
Yes. Choose single colour, unpainted, on the form, and it arrives with the supports removed and the contact points cleaned back, ready for you to paint.
