References that help. 3 to 5 clear images, with one "source of truth" shot. Sketches welcome. We stay on the right side of trademark law, so we design original takes, not copies of licensed characters.
Questions we get
Can you make a specific licensed character?
We design original characters and original takes. We don't reproduce copyrighted costumes or logos, which is also what keeps your piece legal to wear and sell photos of.
Who owns the artwork?
We do. ShapeShifterZ owns the digital artwork, always, and keeps the right to show the piece in our portfolio unless you ask us not to. What you get is the costume. Most fully original commissions stay yours alone to wear. Some are built on one of our existing line designs, and some customers are glad to see theirs join the line later. If that ever happens we wait a good while first, so you have worn it as much as you want before anyone else can.
What if I'm between sizes?
That's what custom fit is for. Send your height, weight and measurements and we adjust the pattern before we cut. Included with every custom piece.
How many revisions do I get?
Two rounds on original artwork, one proof on recolors. Extra rounds are quoted by the hour.
Can you rush it?
Yes, 7 to 10 days for 1 to 2 pieces when the calendar allows, with an in-person fitting if you're in Los Angeles. Rush is quoted on request.
