Does anyone do custom commissions?

[Darklord]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone does commissions?

I'm wanting to get some aliens made (Nikto, some of the Jedi).

If anyone does this sort of work & are interested in taking on the project, please let me know.

Thanks

DL

I hope someone wants to take the project on.

Cheers

Yes. There is a Nikto head. Enaud (Duane) did it a while back. Im sure he has some still available.

Around here, in the Star Wars Customs section, we mostly make our own stuff, and then offer it to others on the board. We ask for help or collaboration on things, but I don't think I've seen a single "commission," well, commissioned in here to date (since the Star Wars Customs subsection was made distinct from the Star Wars Section and the Customs section, at least. Please someone correct me on this if I'm wrong...)

To me, the idea of commissions seems very impersonal. In a commission, it implies that both the artist and commissioner are acting in their own self-interest (the commissioner for the finished piece, and the artist/customizer for the money). In this subsection, I think we are less about the money, and more about the joy of customizing and helping each other out.

I dislike the idea of people only customizing something because they're being paid for it, or that a commissioner becomes the "boss" of the customizer commissioned. It just doesn't sound very nice to me.

Just my two cents on the subject... Don't mean to seem snooty or opinionated or anything, I apologize if I come across that way...


Anyway, instead of trying to commission people to do stuff for you, you could always just ask around and see what's already here (like the Nikto head, for example.)

Hope you find what you're looking for.

The dude person, no offense taken, I'm new to this forum & SW figures.

However, I've been working on 1/6 military figures for years, mainly in customizing uniforms, webbing & weapons & I have taken on commissions for specific figures (never heads as I just don't have the nack).

That being said, I'm more than happy if someone has spares of what I'm after & they are OK with helping me out in whatever way they feel comfortable with.

Cheers
