Create the perfect look with a custom nose - with this listing you get a custom, artist designed hollow cast latex piece made to your specification / character.
General Information.
The price bands on this listing have been grouped into tiers 1-4 which reflects the sculpting time, molding and materials needed for your design, please contact me before purchase to be informed of the correct option for your design as a more complex design would need more design time regardless of size, or your idea might be better suited to full section pieces or a mask
The processing time to produce a custom piece will be set at 2-4 weeks to allow for your project to be booked in to my schedule, it will often be completed sooner but please be aware that the minimum possible lead time for a single item is 4 days -to allow for the design, mold cast and piece cast and curing times- before postage.
With the "single" option you will receive one cast item in the custom design, you can get additional casts at a greatly reduced rate when purchased at the same time as the design, mold and latex prep is already done- useful for productions, regular cosplay characters or if you want to practice application and makeup designs and have a fresh piece for your event.
Example of additional cast costs:
Tier 1 (available in options)
+1 extra cast = £8.50
+2 @ £7.50 per item = £15
+4 @ £7.35 per item = £29.40
+9 @ £7.20 per item = £64.80
You can choose to have the piece with trimmed edges or a wider thin flange edge to suit your design, you can also trim it yourself with a rotary cutter to make the nose bridge area smaller if desired, I will also leave any nostril covers in so you can trim in the correct position for your fit
This item is sold as the plain latex piece for you to apply and decorate yourself.
I can approximate a solid colour tint latex to help you with incorporating into your make-up, if you are going to be doing full face paint coverage I can cast in basic flesh tone or leave it the natural yellowish colour.
If you would like the item to be custom decorated/painted for you: contact me for availability and cost of additional hand detailing, my basic rate starts from £5 per item via further custom order.
The prosthetic will be sent lightly powdered with corn flour to avoid damage from it sticking so just needs a quick wipe before usage, I would advise that you attach a nose item with either pros aide or spirit gum (None included) I also have my own rough guide to latex application on my website blog to which i will send a link to with your order

How does commissioning work?
1. Get in touch with your idea/images, where you are based and what your deadline is.
I'll take a look and discuss what you need, roughly how long it would take to create, what time-scale I can deliver and assess what the best listing option would be for you
2. Purchase the agreed appropriate tier listing and how many casts of the design you want, for nose items you must provide the required pics for basic measurements as shown above- just 4 snaps with a ruler will do as this is not a bespoke/life cast listing.
3. I'll confirm payment received and confirm the details of your order.
4. I create the design, for some instances I will sketch something for you first, for most cases such as characters I will go straight to sculpt based on images and your input from our discussions.
5. You get to take a look at the sculpt to make sure you are happy with the design, I can send images to you privately via message, email, drop-box or I can put updates on social media
6. Let me know if you need any amendments making to the design, if so we repeat the last step (revisions are reasonable but not unlimited)
7. Once you approve the design I will cast the sculpt to create a mold
8. I test the mold and then cast the number of pieces you require
9. After curing I prep and securely package the items for shipping from the UK
10. Enjoy your custom noses! I would love for you to share your photo's with me

Important info
Whilst I am more than happy to create something based on existing characters, themes or inspired by something you love, I will under no circumstances directly copy another artists work.
I retain full intellectual property and retail rights on my designs, e.g. You are not permitted to resell items received or reproduce my design.
Normally I will add any created design to my catalogue for public purchase, if you wish to delay its availability till after an event or you want to purchase exclusive rights this must be discussed before purchase
For short runs the latex will be tinted with acrylic and large numbers with colourant, I cannot tint with metallic colours as it degrades the latex too quickly so i would recommend black latex which really brings out metallic makeup
* Please remember to be on the safe side- so check that you have no latex allergies prior to using this item or using any liquid latex products and pre skin test any adhesive products which you wish to apply with*
