Heya folks!

Apologies I do not post here very often (I really should find out how to make Spore creations more appealing in 2D haha) but I wanted to announce that I am doing a huge raffle for Spore creations, and will be hand-choosing a couple of requests to create as ZBrush Commissions.

Anyone is welcome to join! The Raffle will be open for a week - After which I shall end and randomly draw the winners. Haven't decided on how many yet, but at least 10!
Post your submission(s) in the video comments :D

Come join, best of luck, and as always, thank you very much!

If the embed isn't working, here's the video with details - youtu.be/-QFKrTn2bpo


PS: Will be opening ZBrush Commissions after this celebration is completed.

New, Short and Sweet Commission Details; detvcreative.carrd.co/



Star! Welcome to my 3D Commissions! Star!

Want to see your OC in a new style? Or get some new angles for a reference sheet? Perhaps you'd like to try your hand at rigging and printing the model? Or you just want something new and shiny!
        What you can expect from me: Professionalism and Communication!
I aim to be polite, cooperative, and proper. I wish to give you your money's worth and create something worth showing off. I also try my best to be as efficient as possible when sculpting, to get good quality in a reasonable timeframe!

only accept payment via PayPal and Ko-Fi. All of my prices are stated in Great British Pounds (GBP).
If you wish to make a purchase or inquiry, email me at business@darkedge.tv - Contact me on Email, DeviantArt or Discord for questions and information.

My commission process usually goes as follows;
  1. You inquire me → We'll discuss your character and I may ask some questions to best understand what you desire, and offer an estimate time/price
  2. You pay initial deposit  → I'll sculpt the basics and show you the base (like a sketch)
  3. I'll progress with the sculpt and periodically message you with WIPs and if I have any questions, concerns, or want your input
  4. Details → Colours → (optional) Posing → Send you some watermarked examples to confirm you're happy with it
  5. Calculate the final time/price → Once the commission has been fully paid, I'll email you a Dropbox .zip of several renders of different angles (.PNG or .PSD), some 3D exports (.OBJ .STL and .FBX), occasionally an animated turntable (.MP4), and you may request more angles or the project file (.ZPR) for your own needs!


Examples & Prices - First Hour is Always Free!

Star! Discount Bundle Available Star!

You may order up to 3 commissions at a time together as a package deal, to get a large discount on the deposits! Buy 1 for the standard price (eg. £100), include a 2nd one for 30% off (eg. £70), and even a 3rd one for 50% off (eg. £50)! This only applies for commissions purchased together, as one large singular deposit - The individual construction-fees will be processed individually, to ease the pressure and separate the final cost per-model, so no giant scary bills to worry about. Cheapest style is prioritized for the discount, meaning a duo bundle of Smooth (£35/£100) and Detailed (£50/£135) would discount Smooth's initial deposit.
Additionally, Patreons also get a discount from the hourly construction-fees! www.patreon.com/DarkEdgeTV

Crystal Figure (£25) < Light (£25) < Spore (£30*) < HD Icon (£30*) < Custom (£30*)
*£30 per hour, however these projects USUALLY take a single hour to complete. "Custom" is for bespoke projects

No limits, no deadline, no holding back. The large deposit is a trust agreement that the project will come to fruition. Premium will allow for more flexibility and freedom, more risks, and (optional) up to two complete models within the single commission.
First FIVE hours are free! Average production time is 6-12 hours. Payment schedules offered, such as every 5 hours of work, to space it out and avoid a massive bill at the end.

Bullet; Pink Companions (depending on complexity!)


Commission Form:

Here's what I need to know to get the best out of your commission!
Bullet; Black A clear visual reference is required - I will accept old sketches so long as you can give me a clear demonstration of what you're after.
Bullet; Black Which of my categories would you like to purchase?
Bullet; Black Would you like any special features, alterations, expressions, or posing?
Bullet; Black Am I making a 3D representation of your character, or would you like me to put my own spin into it?
Bullet; Black Is there a deadline or timetable?
Bullet; Black Do you plan to rig and/or animate it? (eg. so I know whether the mouth needs to be functional)
Bullet; Black Do you want your commission to be private? Can I livestream and/or make a video of it? (Note: Videos are a happy bonus and are not a part of the commission)
Bullet; Black Tell me a bit about your character - It may add context or influence to the design
Bullet; Black Is there any extra details or information you'd like to provide? The more the better!
Bullet; Black Can you provide the deposit upfront, and pay the remaining fee upon completion?

Bullet; Blue Please check my rules below and respect my limitations - I reserve the right to decline any commission I feel uncomfortable participating with.
Bullet; Blue Please express any deadlines or urgency ahead of time - Typically I aim to complete commissions within a month, 3 months maximum.
Bullet; Blue Understand that I am not an expert 3D artist - I'm an avid hobbyist who is still learning!
Bullet; Blue Currently, I can not do UVs, Manual Retopology, Rigging, and game-ready models. For now my models are high-poly conceptual images, however I can give you the object files to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions and Notes;

Bullet; Black Q: Why are these so expensive?
A: 3-Dimensional means I have to create from every perceivable angle, which takes a lot of time and planning. Additionally, time spent on commissions will directly compete with time I could be spending on other projects. I value my time greater than minimum wage.
Bullet; Black Q: Why increase the Price Per Hour if higher-detailed models take more time too?
A: It's all about technique! Sometimes a clean smooth surface actually takes longer than using various scale alphas. I'm a fast drawer, and I usually find creating the basic shape and large features takes longer than adding in the little details.
Bullet; Black Q: How do you deal with queues?
A: I aim to be respectable and opportunistic with juggling and squeezing things in. I prioritise finishing one project on a "first come first serve" basis, but I will try to slip smaller projects in during feedback phases, so that no one has to wait too long.
Bullet; Black Q: How long do these typically take?
A: The model itself varies wildly between styles and features. If it has big draconic bat wings or a dozen uniquely shaped/positioned spikes, that's going to take more time to block out. On average, my models can vary from 2-8 recorded hours, stretched over a couple of days.
Bullet; Black Q: How will Price Per Hour be determined?
0-15 minutes = Rounded to zero, no charge | 15-45 minutes = Half an hour, half the price | 45-60 minutes = Rounded up to an hour
I record all of my projects, thus whether or not I manually keep track of time, I will still have an honest recording of time-spent.
Bullet; Black Q: How do you determine what is complex/detailed and what is simple?
A: Technique and style! Not the polycount or features. I'd be happy to explain this further if requested.
Bullet; Black Q: I've already purchased, can I change the style?
A: You can upgrade but not downgrade, unless you give me plenty of notice. You may upgrade before or after the commission is completed - Send me the remaining deposit to upgrade and I'll recalculate the final fee accordingly.
Bullet; Black Q: Can I upgrade from Portrait to Full Body?
A: If I've not started or done too much work, then yes! If the Portrait is entirely completed, then adjusting the model may be complicated and we'll need a discussion.
Bullet; Black Q: Is having a portrait with BOTH open mouth and closed mouth considered two commissions or one?
A: One commission. I sometimes play with the hinges on open-mouths anyway to make sure the jaw length is correct, so I could just take that a step further.
Bullet; Black Q: Can you do multiple creatures in one commission?
A: This is something I need to put some consideration into. For now, the answer is no.
Bullet; Black Q: Can I commission someone else's character?
A: As a gift, of course! If it's another artist's work, I need their confirmation and permission.
Bullet; Black Q: Can we trade? Can you gift me? Can I get a discount?
A: Nope. Discounts only apply to Patreons.
Bullet; Black Q: Can you rig your models? Can you animate them? Will you?
Not yet but one day! It's a lot to learn but I want to do it in the future.


Customer Feedback;

Heart Becca's work is phenomenal, and her attention to detail is amazing. The amount of effort she puts into her work is astounding, and you can rest assured that the work she puts out is of stellar quality. The realism, or even expression she managed to get on the work she did of my character Glass was breathtaking, and you can usually catch a stream to see it all happen in real time, if you're interested in watching her work on your piece. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who loves this kind of art. The prices are expensive, but well worth it. ~by ShatterGlassStudios

Heart I'm so amazed by how much work and detail you put into this, not to mention I think you're ever so slightly mad for attempting to hand-sculpt almost every scale. The end result speaks volumes for itself, though! This is my favorite sculpt of yours so far as well, and I don't think that it's just me being biased because it's my character. I believe I got exactly what I paid for, and I will absolutely be commissioning you again in the future. ~by Oreloki 

Heart From what I've seen I must say that she takes this sort of things seriously. The quality of her works is stably high so you mustn't worry about it. She always tries to consult the customer to figure out some details so the end result turns out to be what you originally wanted (or at least as close as possible to it). I won a raffle (still a bit hard to believe, haha) and got a 3D model of my OC (that Tea Noodle). All process was streamed so I managed to see all the process from beginning to an end so I can relate for the stuff said earlier. And the end result was far better than I was originally expecting. So yeah, you can trust this woman! ;D ~by Alespill

Heart For a first time setting up a model to be rig-able you did an amazing job. You even went with ideas you thought would be good like separate tools for the hair/mane and I didn't even think of that. I am happy with the work and definitely having great communication helped. Everything was professional and you made sure you kept me up to date (: ~by Cassandra

Heart Holy baboon butts this is fantastic, I feel like I absolutely got my moneys worth with thisThis looks gorgeous, and I am very pleased to hear that you had fun with this project 😊 I am most certainly satisfied with the outcome of this, I especially really like the mane for some reason. Again, fantastic job, I’m amazed! Can’t wait to see the other renders 😃 Thank you so much!! ~by Sommy
Heart You're the grand master god wizard of flawlessly translating designs from 2d to 3d I swear ~by Sommy (responding to another commission)

Heart I've gotten two commissions from Rebecca and both of them have turned out amazing. She can do a variety of characters or creatures as seen with the two of my commissions being a weird tree monster and the other being very humanoid so not only is she good at dragons or lizard like creatures she can do a large variety of designs. She has been extremely professional and pleasant to talk to throughout the commission. She is the first person I have commissioned and I'd highly recommend her commissions to others. ~by @EmpiricEmissary

Heart Even though it took longer than expected, I fecking love it! Absolutely amazing! Thanks for making this for me! ~by DarkDemonDragon

Heart My beautiful creature ❤️ Thank you so much, again, for your kindness and your professionalism ! It’s a real pleasure to work with you. My dragon look so good in your 3D style 🥰 especially in colors ! Badass ~By @VendettaPrimus

Howdyho people and peoples!

First of all, thank you all very much for all of the wonderful birthday messages :hug:
I had a wonderful birthday, and in particular one that was filled with an overwhelming amount of wonderful and incredible art. They were all just absolutely stunning and special, and I can not thank you all enough for it! Here are some examples in particular that I want more people to see and appreciate;

Next up! I'm very happy and excited to share that I have reached 200,000 subscribers on YouTube! This is a monumental milestone for me, one I by far never expected to obtain, and I want to share my excitement with everyone! First up is this megabuild I've been slowly working on over the last couple of months, immediately rushed over this weekend, and am really excited to share :giggle:


And last but not least, as is usually the case with my milestone celebrations, I have opened up a raffle of sorts. Comment in the video on any particular creation or character concept that you'd like to see made, whether it be an OC or movie/game character, and I'll randomly choose at least 10 comments to recreate in Spore, and one or two to recreate in ZBrushCore. Good luck!


Once again, thank you all so very much! You're all amazing, and I hope you have a wonderful day ^^
