Cave Geek Art is a one-person operation. As the artist, craftsman, designer, shipping department, and customer service agent, I am responsible for every aspect of the commission process. The cost of a custom piece includes not only the materials and physical labor, but also my two decades of experience, my unique skill set, and the specialized tools and supplies I’ve invested in.

Please note that the estimate I provide for your custom piece is just that – an estimate. The final cost will depend on factors such as time and materials required. The exception is items sold in the Store.

The creation of a unique work of art is a labor-intensive process that involves research, finding reference images, material procurement, planning, designing, burning, sculpting, painting, and more. Each step takes time, and materials such as buckskin, pigments, pyrography tools, glue, display cases, lights, and disposables like sandpaper, mixing sticks, gloves, and knife blades are required.

All commission requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Although I take commissions regularly and plan my schedule well in advance, there are times when my schedule is already full, and I may not be able to meet your deadline.

The more detailed and specific your idea is, the easier it is for me to bring it to life. Don’t assume I’m familiar with every fandom, so please provide pictures and references to help me understand your vision.

When communicating your idea, be clear and to the point. Tell me exactly what you want and any specific requirements you may have.

Don’t worry about the technical details. Just tell me what you want, and I’ll figure out the best materials and methods to make it happen. If there are any issues or changes that need to be made, I’ll keep you informed throughout the process.

Your budget refers to the maximum amount of money you are willing to spend on your commissioned piece, including any additional items such as hangers, displays, or display cases.

Please note that your budget should be based on the actual amount of cash you have available, not on an estimate or assumption of how much the piece should cost. It is a personal decision that solely depends on your financial resources and priorities.

Even if you have an unlimited budget, it’s important to remember that everyone has a limit they won’t exceed. Therefore, determining your budget beforehand will help us establish the scope of your project and ensure that we can create a piece that meets your expectations and stays within your financial means.

This refers to the specific date you need the project to be completed and delivered to you. It is important for me to know the deadline so I can assess whether I can fit your commission into my schedule and plan accordingly.

Please avoid asking how long it will take to complete your project as it is not just a matter of turnaround time. Each project has a unique set of requirements and deadlines. As the saying goes, you can have something done fast, cheap, or well, but not all three.

If you require a rushed delivery, additional charges will apply due to the necessary changes in my schedule, extra hours, and possibly delaying other clients’ projects.
