Full description of what you want your commission to look like
When you need the commission done by (please specify a month)
30% of the final price ready to be deposited

Once you have chosen to get a commission from the Raptor Arts Studio you are expected to pay 30% of the full commission price so I can start on it. Once you have paid the 30%, you will be added to the list and your commission will be worked on the month that we have agreed. If you cannot pay the 30% the day or soon after, we have agreed on the commission then do not place an order.

Do take in mind this 30% is non refundable
If you would like to order, be sure to read this FAQ page completely.
I accept checks, money orders and paypal. That includes international money orders as well. My paypal address is "VinceRaptor (AT) gmail (DOT) com"

What materials do you use?
Here at the Raptor Arts Studio I create masks, costumes, statues & model kits that are made from a variety of materials. For example my masks are sculpted from clay and then molded to be produced in Resin or Latex. My costumes are made of foam, latex or resin or all of the above. My sculptures are done in a polymer clay and are sculpted on a base or free standing. I recommend the base because it looks much cooler and finished.

Do you only do masks & costumes?
Nope. I create limited edition sculptures and models as well as just about anything else you can possibly imagine. Just look at my gallery and you will see the variety of things that I create.

What styles of costumes and masks does Raptor Arts offer?
You can order anything, from cartoon looking to realistic. I am not afraid to try out new creatures that have not been done before.

Where do you see out of your masks?
For most of the head you see out of the actual eye area. Masks where they have plastic or glass eyes you see out the eye ducts. The one with the most range of vision is the use your own eye style. Those you do not have anything restricting your vision. If you are interested in seeing out the mouth, nose or neck be sure to ask me.

How many people make up Raptor Arts?
At the moment theres just me. So if on my front page it says "Accepting Commissions!" better jump at the chance cause it wont be open for long :)

Do you make copy righten characters (from games, tv, movies..etc)?
Do not ask for a creation that has a copyright attached to it. (This means characters that are seen in games/TV/Movies etc..) I only make original one of a kind creations. If you own the Copyrite to the character that you wish to commission me to sculpt then I will sculpt it.

Can you make my ears move, my lips snarl, and all that with animatronics?
At the moment I don't do anything with RC Animatronics.

I sent an Email and you didn't reply
I always reply to emails the same day they are sent but sometimes I do go on vacations so please be patient. If it's been more then a week and I haven't replied, please send another message. My Spam filter on occasion deletes messages.

I do not live in the US, can I still order from Raptor Arts?
Yes you can. I offer my services worldwide. This means I will ship anywhere in the world, no matter where you are.

What does it cost to have you sculpt my character?
Remember each and every piece is an original sculpture done by me in my studio. These prices all depend on the complexity & materials used on the commission. Dont always think that it will be the highest price. Most of the time its the lowest price. And dont forget that if you use paypal you need to add an additional 4% to cover their fee.

How will you ship my commission?
Pending on what it is I use a brown box with plenty of padding. Everything is triple checked to see if theres any chance whatsoever of it getting damaged in mailing. I send only through USPS (United States Postal Service) since I have had no problems with them and their shipping prices are very decent. If you want it shipped via Priority mail or Flat rate box, insured, tracked, I can do that also.

Could I use your art outside of your site?

Can I add your link to my page?
