Cosplay commission questions
How much does a cosplay commission cost?
It depends on the build, the finish level, how wearable it needs to be and your deadline, so we don't publish a price list. Post your brief free and compare bids from verified makers. See the price guide for what moves the price.
How long does a cosplay commission take?
It depends on the build and the maker's queue. Each maker states a timeline in their bid, so compare timelines as well as prices. Post as early as you can, well before you'd naturally think to.
Do I pay upfront?
You pay when you accept a bid, but your payment is protected and the maker isn't paid until you confirm delivery. Your payment is protected, not handed over.
What if it doesn't fit?
Wearable pieces are built to the measurements you give, so measure carefully. If the maker built off-spec, the dispute process covers it. If the measurements were wrong, adjustments are up to the maker and usually cost extra.
Can I commission just the props?
Yes. Post the prop, the scale you want it at, and whether it needs to be con-safe (no sharp edges, under length limits).
Do makers ship internationally?
Some do. Ask about shipping to your country before you accept a bid. Large armor is expensive to ship, so a maker in your own country can save real money.
Can I commission a 3D-printed helmet?
Yes. Say whether you want it printed raw (you finish it), printed and sanded, or fully finished and painted. Each is a different price. If you have an STL already, upload it with the post.
How do I find a cosplay maker near me?
Maker profiles can show a location. Say 'local pickup preferred' in the post if you want someone nearby. For anything wearable a local fitting is worth a lot.
