Q: Hey Mike, are you available for painting and/or 3D-printing commissions?
A: Yes! Please get in touch!
There used to be a bunch of discouraging text here about how my hobby time is precious to me but I might deign to work on something for you for if you give me enough money. But y’know what? I really like painting for other people. It’s just as fun, but I don’t have to fret over finding display space when I’m done. Ditto for printing; I can put my printer to the miraculous work of turning goop into cool models, without having them clutter up my apartment? Sign me up!
I’ll probably be updating this page with more details in the future, but for now: yes, commissions are open, please get in touch if you’re interested! For some samples of my work, head over to the Gallery page or take a gander through my Instagram feed.
Q: What models are available?
There are a handful of digital sculptors/designers that I support, for whose work I currently have—or can easily get—a commercial license (i.e. permission from the artist to sell 3D prints). Choosing a model from one of these folks is probably the best bet; I already know that I enjoy working on these models, and that the files will be high quality and good for printing. I’m happy to sell these models as unpainted kits that you can build and paint yourself, or as finished models painted by me with your direction!
Here are just a few of the sculptors I support:
Ritual Casting (Patreon) “Femme Fatale” pin-up sculptures; full figures and busts, all original characters, sci-fi & fantasy influences
Edythe Cross (Patreon) Full figure models, busts, and adorable chibi sculpts from anime, video-games, and comics. (And some great originals!)
PREYcollectionSTUDIO (Patreon) Awesome sculpts from TMNT and elsewhere, designed to work just as well as 1:10 scale (or larger) models or 32mm minis. (Also some cool prehistoric creatures!)
EllaArt (Patreon) Full figures and busts from games, anime, comics, Disney, and original characters.
Q: What other options are there?
Get in touch! I’m up for printing basically anything for you as long as the sculptor/designer gives their blessing. (Either by selling the file with a commercial license or just confirming to me that they’re cool with it!)
I also have a ton of plastic and resin and metal models in my “pile of shame” that I’d be thrilled to paint for you. I’ll do a proper inventory at some point (if I can stand the shame) but let me know if you’re curious. I’ve got entirely too many display minis, garage kits, and sci-fi vehicle models that deserve some paint and a home! From Miyazaki to Miniac to Maschinen Krieger, the depths of my shame can be the heights of your opportunity! 😂
Already have a model that you want me to slap some paint on? That’s cool too! Ship that sucker on over here and I’ll bring it to life for ya!
