Hi there my name is Hector Arce I'm 23 years old and I've been a sculptor for 3 years. I've always loved comic books, fantasy and sci fi and most of all I've been an avid toy and statue collector since i can remember. Discovering the art of sculpting was just a random act, one day i decided to take a sculpting class at school just for fun and it ended up becoming my life. Ever since then I've been sculpting the things I love. From comic book characters to video game characters from Godzilla to Optimus Prime. Everyday I have a goal to better myself in my craft, making sure each piece is better than the one before it.

I now am taking comissions and want to share my skills with others. I want to be able to offer costum statue/figures to people for a modest price. I as a kid, teen and even young adult always wished there was someone out there that I could message and tell them to make me a statue of such and such. Now that I can actually make these things, i want to make it possible for others to just contact me and let me know what they want done.

life is about living every moment as happy as you can while being able to bring a little of that happiness to others around you.

Feel free to message me about anything.

hope to hear from you soon.

-Hector

sorry he's in pieces but I don't have a camera.
If you do make it I don't care about the color just that all the eye's on the armor are like actual eyes.
the color scheme would be your choice but can you make a design for the cape.
if you do consider doing it of course.

Hey, do you remember my commission about the Metroid figure? If you're working on it it's cool, but if you hadn't started already, I want to change it.

Could you do a statue of Metroid Prime?

something like this will be pretty expensive, b/c i will need to mold it and cast it in a clear resin in order to get the transparent aspect to it so you can see the brain on the inside.

i'd estimate close to $900.00
