FAQ

It can be daunting and confusing trying to find information scattered around the website and social media, and sometimes things are too vague and don't quite cover specific issues. I intend to cover them here. Any common questions will appear on this page below. Still unsure? Get in touch! 

Q: Why are your digital files so expensive?
A:
I recognize that my prices for my digital downloads are higher than average, but to put it simply: I value my time. People often feel a disconnect when purchasing a digital good, because it's not tangible until it's made so. They forget that the file still had to be made by someone. Effort and craftsmanship still goes into making a digital sculpture, no matter how much people try to discredit it because at its core, it's a string of code.

Selling digital files gives you the means to create infinite copies of the model you purchase. If I chose to print and sell the model myself instead of offering the file for download, you would pay more for a single model, because more labor goes into printing and processing in addition to the cost in time to create it. In the case of commercial licenses, I'm not only giving you the means to make infinite copies, I'm also allowing you to profit off of it. I don't charge royalties, and I still have to create the file to sell it, so the cost has to be worth my time. 

Q: Can I cast and sell your models?
A:
My Terms of Service state that you cannot, however, I do make exceptions. A commercial license is required for any model you wish to produce (or reproduce) for sale. Please contact me to discuss resin runs. 

Q: Will you ever release a Traditional version of Lazarus?
A:
Not in his current form. Lazarus originally released in 2016 in traditional scale. He was home-cast in my trailer in Kentucky and the mold broke shortly into his run. I couldn't afford to make a new one. This means there are less than 15 Traditional Lazarus in existence, and re-releasing him in Traditional would harm the value of those original models. I know many people want him in Traditional, so I will have to think about how I can make that possible while preserving the value of the original run. 

Q: Will you ever release Zombie horses as digital downloads?
A:
Unless I receive a commission for one, and the client requests I make it a public file, I will more than likely keep my zombies and macabre creatures as physical-only models. This is not a hard rule, though; things happen, and if I need to shift to digital only, I will not hesitate to offer them as digital files.
