Oh Wow... Hunky that is great work as usual. I never would have thought about using a Tpol head for B Elanna but it looks great. Nice work.

Amazing work, as always Hunky. I just dont understand why the client wants T'pol to become Torres. I would think that you could use any base head that you wanted, can you enlighten us on why it 'had to be' her. I see the uniform option as more fitting on a Klingon Torres, but I havent thought outside of the box yet.
Can you reveal anything, can you sell the heads (the latter I know is a NO)
Cant wait for more

How much does a commission like that cost?

wow, thanks guys, what a response *blush* It was difficult to do, but I'm pleased with the result at such a small scale (smaller than I'm used to working at)
Tiberius...... it didn't 'have' to be made from a T'Pol, that was the figure he had though, and he asked if it could be done, as he wanted to use that body for the figure. He's also getting me to alter the neck at some point to fit one of the next gen figures (deanna maybe, not sure) to have the uniform be a normal Voyager uniform
As for selling these heads, pm me..... if that answers your question
Thehsbr..... there's no standard price for a one off commission like that, I basically take every case as it come. It depends on things like what is the figure I'm changing, and what am I changing it into (ie: how much work and time will be involved and how difficult will it be), how much materials will be used (in this case resin and silicone as well as the usual epoxy putty and paint)..... and basically I just work it out how long it'll take and come up with a price
Thanks for all the amazing comments again guys!!
