I’m looking for a sculptor who can craft a full-bust likeness that will ultimately sit on display inside my home. I have clear reference photos ready and would like the final piece to read as realistic and expressive, not simply stylized. Scope • Collaborate with me on the overall pose and expression (a quick concept sketch or clay maquette to lock it in). • Recommend the most suitable medium—clay, stone, or metal—bearing in mind indoor placement and my budget. • Sculpt the bust at roughly life-size (minor scale adjustments are fine if they help with shipping or structural integrity). • Share progress photos or short video clips so I can approve key milestones. • Deliver the finished sculpture sealed, primed, and ready for indoor display—securely packed for transit. What I’ll provide • High-resolution front, side, and three-quarter reference images. • Prompt feedback at each review point. • Coverage of agreed shipping costs. Ideal experience You’ve completed at least one commissioned portrait or bust, can work cleanly in your chosen medium, and understand how to protect a piece for shipping. Timeline I’m aiming for a straightforward turnaround, so let’s discuss how long you’ll need for concept, sculpting, and curing/finishing once we connect. If this sounds like a project you’d enjoy, please tell me about a relevant piece you’ve done and outline your proposed workflow.
