2. Upload Your Photos
You only need one clear front-facing headshot. A profile photo is optional, not required. For full custom designs, you may send optional images of clothing, poses, props, or colors.
3. Approve Your Sculpt
If you choose a “with proofs” timeline, you receive sculpting previews. Carefully review facial details before approving. Once approved, painting begins.
4. Hand Painting
Each figure is painted by hand using layered colors, shading, highlights, and detailed micro-brushwork to match skin tone, hair, clothing, and accessories.
