Commissions Now Being Taken

original thread ↗

Hello all, I'd like to announce that Kaczy Studios is now up and running. If anyone wishes to commission my skills for a hobby-related project, feel free to send me a message through the Stronghold, or contact me at kaczystudios@hotmail.com. Please make your email topic clear (i.e. - Commission: Chaos Lord) so that it is not overlooked.

I am willing to undertake any project I am commissioned for, though understand that a request for an army project will be given thought, as these are very involved projects.

I can paint to any "standard" you request, including but not limited to the following:

Level I - Tabletop
          You have a tournament in and your stuff is unpainted or even unassembled? You prefer to play rather than to look at your miniatures? You want your miniatures painted fast and neat? This is the level that you should choose. I offer a complete miniature painted with one layer + highlights or ink shading , using drybrush when compulsory. These miniatures won't look crappy, they'll be just painted faster then usually.

Level II - Tournament
         This is the level dedicated for your troops/whole regiments. It differs significantly from level 1 painting. Minis painted at this level will look great on the battlefield, you'll score top points at the tournaments for sure. This level includes several layers of highlights with no drybrushing and nearly no inking.

Level III - 'Eavy Metal
        This is a Games Workshop Heavy Metal quality which you can see in Army Books, Codexes or White Dwarf issues. Miniatures painted at this level will look outstanding. This includes 5 or more layers of highlights including blending techniques. I give special care to all details , making every mini unique.

Level IV - Competition
        Miniatures painted to this level receive the same amount of attention I give to my Painting Competition entries. Countless layers to blend colors seamlessly, nonmetallics on request, freehand (request not needed) - this mini gets it all.


Prices: It's difficult for me to estimate a price without knowing the client's request. Rest assured that I give my prices a great deal of thought, and my prices are fair for whatever project you commission me for.

           Note that you can either send me miniatures, or you can request that I purchase them for a project. If I purchase them than their cost will be added to the final project cost.


Upon Completion of a project, I will contact you about payment details through an email address you have provided me with. If, after 10 days of this message, you have not responded, the project will be auctioned off on eBay or to another customer. If, for example, you leave on a trip in X and so time, just let me know if you'll be out of contact for some period of time - I will hold your project until a time we can communicate again. Your miniature(s) will not be auctioned off after 10 days if you communicate to me that you will be out of contact. I'm very flexible in this regard!


That's all the basics. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or message me. As said, to request a commission, message me here or get to me at kaczystudios@hotmail.com.

Ogres have a few good points. In summary, I like them because they make me sexy.

Hey there everyone, a few minor updates.

If anyone is considering commissioning me for a project, just shoot me a PM with a basic list of what you want and I'll knock out a price estimate for you. As I said before, it's hard to make a price list based on nothing, but if you take just a few minutes to give me some basics, I can gaurantee you'll get a reply.

For those wondering, I really don't have anything else up on the web as examples of my work. I just don't take the time to upload photos of my armies. Though come to think of it, I could do a one-model upload of some stuff I consider to be at each level...

This also serves as a bit of a bump - business is booming in the Market, and my little advertisement has been shifted to Page 2 in all the hustle and bustle.
