These aren't being mass produced by a machine; they are handmade bespoke & unique items that someone spent hours creating by hand. I could walk into ANY art shop and be guaranteed to find a painting that A) was more expensive, B) took less time to create and C) took less skill to create. My ultralisk should arrive any day now and I paid $440 USD for it. That allowed $40 for shipping (though Chris actually paid the extra shipping cost out of his own pocket as the ultralisk is a big beefy bastard). If we say he spent ~$80 in materials total (paints, clay, metals etc) that leaves him with ~$320. That's the final cash. His website says that it takes him ~15 hours average per sculpt, though AFAIK Mr Ultralisk took more time than that. I get the impression that is pure crafting time only, not the total time required for the entire thing. I don't think that would include the time he must spend preparing and obtaining materials, planning the sculpt, preparing the sculpt for baking, baking time (~3 hrs), time spent packaging and posting it, and the time spent reading and replying to client emails (and Chris can confirm that I sent a lot of emails). That all takes a lot of time. So assuming he gets ~$320 per sculpt, and he spends ~25 hours on each one, that means if you commission a sculpt from him you're paying ~$12.80 for each hour of his time. Seems pretty reasonable to me. | ||
