BOOK ME FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT!

I am currently taking painting commissions for single models of any size, squads of models, single large models like Primarchs or tanks, whole armies, or terrain pieces of any size.

I can also do assembly, basing, decals, and/or magnetizing upon request.

Why choose me?

It takes a special level of care and precision to achieve results that are stylish, and an equally strong love for problem solving to achieve those results in a timely manner. I believe I have both of these qualities. I've been painting miniatures on and off since I was in middle school (for almost 12 years now), so these qualities are coming from years of first hand experience. I of course still have lots to learn, but you're in good hands. I treat every model I handle like it's my own.

How to Book

First, please read the terms, hourly rate and services below. Then proceed to my contact page to fill out a form. Be as detailed as you can! We can also schedule a meeting over Google meet to discuss the commission if you so choose. No, you do not need to turn your camera on.

Or, if you'd prefer, you can simply send me a DM on my Instagram page @kenny_shumi.

THINK OF EVERYTHING

Here are some things to consider:

Do you want the model(s) varnished? If so, how? Glossy, satin, or matte? Would you like me to pick for you?
How do you want the model(s) based?
Do you want decals attached? If you want certain ones attached, please supply them with the shipment of your model(s) if you have them already or tell me which ones to look for.
Do you want effects/technical paints applied? Blood, slime, saliva, glowing paints, etc.
Do you want a specific style? Grim dark, Gundam style, blanchitsu etc.
Do you want anything special done for the assembly? Magnetizing, kit-bashing etc.
Do you want weathering and/or battle damage applied? If so, to what extent?

DISCLAIMERS

There are certain painting and modeling techniques that I will not do, and will say no to if asked. I can only do what I am capable of. Additionally, if there is a certain aspect or aspects of a commission that are along the lines of something I disagree with; I will respectfully decline that part of the commission, or the whole commission entirely. I reserve the right to ask any questions when it comes to intent and expect full honesty, as that is what you will receive from me. I am willing to negotiate, but if no middle ground can be met, I will respectfully turn down the job. Furthermore, if I'm personally getting a bad feeling about you, I will decline your commission outright.

These aspects include:

Free-handing ( rough, or graffiti style text can be okay)
Highlighting by wet-blending
Painting pupils on small models
NMM and/or TMM

Painting & application of any hate speech/symbols
Really intricate sculpting, such as green stuff fabrics.

Other Services

Need something else done?

Magnetizing

Got other weapon weapon options? I'll chrome 'em out for ya.

Model Assembly

Maybe you just want your minis built for you. I'll handle that.

Terrain Painting

Got some scatter terrain you've had in a box for a while? My airbrush would love to meet 'em.

PRICING

I will keep an hourly log of my work hours then present it to you as proof of work.
You will cover shipping costs.
We can negotiate how often payments are issued. Such at the first 5 hours paid upfront, payments for every 5 hours worked, weekly payments. This will depend on project scale.
A final total will be presented to you once the commission is finished. After it has been paid, I will send the shipment. Unless of course you're in Arizona, then we can set a place to meet.
All payments can be performed through Venmo, Paypal, or Zelle.
A rush fee will be applied if you need a fast turn around. This depends on the scope of the project, and how much time you give me.
TIPS APPRECIATED when the project is all said and done!

I go by a flat $20 per hour rate. No matter what your project is. If you need me to purchase anything for you (models, decals, tools) I can purchase for you, but will require reimbursement upfront, (receipts will be provided).

COMMUNICATION

Lack of communication will kill any project. Here's what you can expect from me:

Daily and/or weekly updates on progress depending on project scale.
Photos asking for feedback.

What I expect from you:

Acknowledgement of all communications.
Responses in a timely manner. The sooner the better.
Some enthusiasm is appreciated. E.G. "damn, that's fire 🔥"

Communications are to be carried out by text. Extended failure to reply at any point during the project will result in you not getting your models, and I will not refund you any payments. When I ask for feedback and quality checking, I will not continue until I get an okay from you. So please, don't leave me on read.
