Studio Process
The Obsidian Guild Studios Process
Every piece produced by Obsidian Guild Studios moves through a carefully controlled production process designed to preserve the artistry of the original sculpt while delivering collector-grade display quality. From digital design to final inspection, each stage focuses on precision, craftsmanship, and presentation.
1. Artist Sculpt Creation
Every sculpture begins with a detailed digital sculpt created by independent artists in the collectible community. These designs capture dynamic poses, dramatic composition, and expressive character detail intended to translate into powerful display pieces for collectors.
2. Model Preparation & Production Planning
Before fabrication begins, each sculpt is carefully prepared for production. The model is analyzed for optimal scale, structural stability, and part separation. This preparation ensures that intricate details are preserved while maintaining the integrity and balance of the final sculpture.
3. Precision Fabrication
Using high-resolution fabrication technology, each component is produced in premium grade resin to capture the fine textures and sculptural detail of the original design. This process allows even the smallest features — armor textures, fabric folds, facial expression — to be reproduced with remarkable clarity.
4. Studio Finishing & Preparation
After fabrication, each component enters the studio finishing stage. Supports are carefully removed, surfaces are refined, and parts are prepared for assembly or finishing. This step ensures the sculpt maintains its intended form and display quality.
5. Final Inspection & Collector Presentation
Before leaving the studio, every piece undergoes final inspection to ensure it meets Obsidian Guild Studios' collector-grade standards. Components are reviewed for detail quality, structure, and presentation so collectors receive a sculpture worthy of centerpiece display.
Estimated Production Times
Each OGS collectible is produced to order. Production times are estimates and may vary based on model complexity, scale, order volume, material availability, and the selected finish. Shipping and transit time begins after production is complete.
- Unassembled & Unpainted (UU): 3–5 weeks
- Prepped & Primed (PP): 4–7 weeks
- Hand-Painted Commission (HP): 10–16 weeks from the start of the scheduled commission window
Gallery-scale and highly complex pieces may carry a product-specific lead time noted on the product page. We will communicate any delays proactively.
