Shipping rate depends on your location in the world.

I can send things without premium for about EUR 20 but that easily takes 2 months to arrive since it will be shipped with seamail (with tracking# but only insured up to EUR 50).Ships to:

Should you cancel near the end and I already painted most of the figurine I will charge 50% of the agreed paint-job price!!

My PYO GalleryApril 14, 2022 at 2:57 pm #1656950Artist Name: Brock “Hardy” Stone / Kevlar Unicorn
Artist Contact Info: All my contact info is on my site at kevlarunicorn.com The best way to reach me is email at kevlarunicorn@gmail.com
PYO Painting Rates:
I have two tiers. “Artistic Liberty” and “Prompted.”
Artistic Liberty – You may pick a very broad theme of no more than three words (ex: Spring Flowers) or give me a few colors you like OR dislike (ex: “I love yellow and pink!” or “I don’t like browns.”) and I will create something fantastic for you!Prompted – You give me a mood board, a specific picture, or something else more closely specified. You could say “I want a medieval theme!” Or “Make it look like a sprinkle donut!” I will still retain some artistic liberty here, but you will have increased input.
Sculpture__________________Artistic Liberty__________________Prompted
Griffin____________________ $195 _______________ $245
Kirin______________________ $220 _______________ $265
Fancy Kirin________________ $270 _______________ $325
Dragon (small)_____________ $235 _______________ $285
Wolf_______________________ $215 _______________ $265
Keeper (big dragon)________ $375 _______________ $450
Unicorn____________________ $175 _______________ $225
Phoenix____________________ $195 _______________ $245
Muse_______________________ $210 _______________ $260
Rock Dragon________________ $325 _______________ $395
Oriental Dragon____________ $450 _______________ $525

Kitsune____________________ $120 _______________ $175
Kitty Griffin______________ $110 _______________ $165
Hen or Rooster_____________ $120 _______________ $165
Hippocampus________________ $275 _______________ $350
Maneki Neko (either)_______ $135 _______________ $185Materials/Techniques: I use a combination of airbrush, bristle brush, and antiquing on my pieces. I also sometimes dye pieces using natural dyes such as onion skin, avocado, coffee, or tea before adding painted details and antiquing. They are all sealed at least twice under UV resistant clear coat, either matte or gloss. Gems and eyes are set with high strength superglue.
Pet portraits: I will do pet portraits, but please be aware that that will be above the cost of a “prompted” piece due to the intense specificity of accurately rendering a beloved pet.
Original Characters/Fursonas/Etc: I can and will render characters of your design, including fursonas etc. This again will fall above the price range of “prompted” pieces. I will require clear references of the character desired and the price will vary depending upon complexity.
Payment: I
- will NOT
accept PayPal due to their high fees and seller-hostile policies. I send email invoices via Square. If you are not familiar, Square is just a credit card payment platform. You do not need an account. You can pay via card or ACH (bank transfer). I do not see your information aside from your shipping address that you supply yourself. If you’re thinking you’ve never seen Square, you probably have; they are frequently used by small businesses as a point of sale.
Shipping: I ship double boxed, with the original packaging included. I prefer UPS but I will also ship with USPS if commissioner prefers. Insurance is not optional and is at buyer’s expense. I can include signature service at additional cost. I use PirateShip to minimize costs to you.
Ships to: I will ship anywhere in the world. HOWEVER, buyer is responsible for customs fees. I will not lie on customs forms about the value of the package, nor will I mark it a gift. Please be willing and prepared to pay appropriate fees and understand that I have no control over this.
Artist location: Maryland, USA
Terms of Service
My work usually takes no more than three months to complete. I keep a small queue. If I don’t give you an estimated completion date, please ask.If I am not finished within six months of final payment, you have the right to request a full refund if you no longer wish to wait. Understand that this will mean that I sell your finished piece publicly with or without alterations to the design. (I will alter designs of personal significance such as pet portraits or original characters.)
I will generally provide a few WIP pictures. I do ask that if you have something about a design or work that really bugs you, ESPECIALLY for more detailed things like pet portraits/OCs, please speak up. I will usually do my best to make something work for you, so long as it isn’t an aggressive redo.
Please remember what level of commission you chose, and understand that something can evolve in looks along the way. I will not dramatically redo an artistic liberty piece just for the reason of disliking it. However, you are always welcome to trade or resell a finished piece once you receive it. I understand that we don’t all share the same taste and sometimes a piece doesn’t “grab” you.
Choosing commissions is at my discretion. I will usually accept a huge range of designs and inspirations! Many of the sculpts I haven’t painted yet are priced low because I would like to try them out.
Pricing: The pricing above is reflective of my prices as of the “last edited” date. Please be mindful that my prices may have gone up if it has been a long time since I edited. Sometimes I’ll discover a sculpt is more complicated than I realized, or sometimes I am just in higher demand at the time.
Sculpt Supply: Remember to be aware of what’s available in the shop! I will accept a sculpt from you to paint, but please note that once you ship it to me, it is mine until I have finished it and sent it to you. In the event of a refund, I will “buy” it back from you. I prefer not to take on commissions for sculpts not in the shop, as that will put stress on me to try and snatch one when it comes into stock, plus we never know when they’ll pop!
I have not yet had to employ this within the Windstone community because everyone here is incredibly gracious, but: I reserve the right to cancel and fully refund a commission at any time if I feel we are not working well together (I will pay current store price for any sculpts sent to me, plus reasonable shipping). I do my absolute best to make someone happy, often going well over time to get things satisfactory. That said, if I feel I am being mistreated or that I just cannot produce something you will be satisfied with, I will not continue with the working relationship.

Artist Contact Info: charloj93@gmail.com, or feel free to PM me here. Emails tend to get a faster response, only because I don’t always check my PMs every day.
PYO Painting Rates:
Contact me! Prices (for painting+the sculpture itself) generally start at around double the price of the shipped blank for simple schemes, and more if you want fine details, special patterns, or blended color gradients.
I’m open to trades as partial payment (or potentially the entire payment if it’s something I really want).
Type(s) of paint/materials used: Various acrylic paints. All pieces are sealed with matte or gloss sealer (client’s choice)
Brand(s) of paint used: Brands vary, but I tend to mostly use either FolkArt, Citadel (for fine details) or Golden.
Are pet portraits offered (when applicable): Not at this time
Shipping method (e.g., double boxed, UPS only, etc): Double-boxed, original packaging. I will use the client’s choice of shipping provider.
Shipping rates/insurance: Exact shipping rates. No packing fee.
Ships to (US, North America, Worldwide, etc): I will ship outside the U.S., but the client is responsible for knowing and paying all applicable fees and customs. The actual price of the commission will be put on the customs form.
Artist location (e.g. “California”, or “U.K.”for shipping purposes): Ohio, USA
Do you take payment plans or have any “Terms of Service”: I generally do not take payment plans. I ask for 50% of the price upfront, the other half when it is completed.
If you cancel the commission at any point after the blank has been ordered, I will refund the amount already paid, minus the cost of the PYO blank (including the cost of shipping the blank).
If for any reason I need to cancel a commission, I will refund the entire amount already paid.I will send at least one work in progress image during the process. Due to the nature of the process, minor changes may be able to be made once painting starts, but I cannot rework an entire paint scheme once the basecoat has been started.
