How the Commission Process Works

1 — Contact the Studio

Things to think about:

  • The miniatures you want painted

  • Desired painting level (Tabletop, Tabletop Plus, or Display)

  • Color preferences or reference images

  • Whether the miniature will be printed or provided

2 — Quote & Timeline

You’ll receive a custom quote based on the model size, complexity, and painting level, along with an estimated timeline.

3 — Deposit & Project Start

A 50% deposit secures your commission slot.

You may either ship your miniatures to the studio or have them printed here.
Typical 3D printing turnaround is 1–2 weeks.

4 — Work-in-Progress Updates

Photo updates are shared during the painting process, allowing for small adjustments if needed.

Once the miniature is complete, final photos are shared for approval. After the remaining balance is paid, your miniature will be carefully packaged and shipped.
