Lifecast Information:

I like to meet with the model before the actual casting. I have 3 different types of material that I will test on your skin. This test is important to make sure that your skin is not sensitive to any of the products being used during the casting..(Note: I have never seen anyone that had any problems with the current materials used.) I usually photograph different poses and body parts of the model. The model and I will look at the photographs on the computer and discuss exactly what the model is looking for (the photos are an option and are not required but highly recommended, Please Note: Be assured that I am very professional, discreet and will not share your photos, personal information or any details of your art with any unless I have prior written permission from the Model.) All monetary information will be discussed during our meeting.

Some general information is listed below.

Models Must be 18 years or older for nude castings (some exceptions may apply to babies).
Casting time varies on size and type of material used for the casting.
Torso (1 side) cast take approx. 45 minutes of the models time.
Models may submit photos and request an estimate for casting prior to meeting. (Example: Front Torso Cast. 3 photos are required. 1 from the front and 1 from each side. A complete set of measurements are required. (Models Privacy is strictly enforced.)
Piercings must be discussed prior to the casting. Castings will not be done on NEW piercings or tattoos. The skin must be completely healed before the casting is performed. Castings can not be done on areas that have open wounds, skin irritations, burns or injuries.
Area that need to be shaved or groomed should be done the day/night before (at a minimal of 2 hours prior). The skin must NOT be irritated.
Most Casting are performed at the place of my choice. The casting process can get a little messy and I do not recommend doing it in the models home. I may make exceptions however an additional fee may be charged due to handling of equipment and travel.
Special castings may require additional material, a deposit may be required prior to the casting.
Castings are by appointment only. A deposit may be required.
A video/photo's of the casting process can be made. Additional Fees may apply.


On the day of the casting.

The model should eat something lite prior to that cast. DO NOT over eat it will cause bloating.
It is not recommended to have the cast done during the models PMS or menstrual cycle. (this is due to bloating and cramping).
The model should shower prior to the casting. DO NOT apply and lotions, oils, or perfumes to the areas being cast.
Area that are shaved or waxed should have this done at a minimal of 2 hours prior to the casting. Areas of the skin that show irritation will not be cast.
The model should wear loose fitting cloths to the casting. Tight clothing especially bra and pantie make marks on the body that may take up to an hour to disappear so that they will not show in the mold. Clothing that is used in some mold may be destroyed during the molding process.
It is recommended that the model bring a rob to wear before and after the casting. Shower Caps may be needed. ( I have shower caps available)
The model will be allowed to clean up and shower after the casting (location permitting, some locations do not have shower facilities available). A towel will be provided if the model does not bring her own.Gen soaps and shampoo's are available (at my private residence). Model may bring their own if desired.
The model may bring a companion to the casting, however this must be discussed with the artist prior to the day of the casting. The artist reserves the right to request that the companion leave the casting area. (this will be discussed in detail with the model.)
There is NO SMOKING Allowed during the casting process.
Models under the influence of alcohol or other medications will not be cast. This may result in the forfeit of any or all deposits.
Models that are late to appointment may forfeit any or all deposits.
Models that are NO SHOW or NO CALL will automatically forfeit all deposits.
Models must give a minimal of 3 hours notice to change appointments. This may result in the forfeit of any or all deposits.

The model may wear any type of clothing they prefer home....

Completed Art Work

The final art piece will be available ASAP. This depends on type of materials used for statue. Most are completed within a week to 10 days. Others may take as long as 45 days to complete.

Final Art Pieces may be shipped (limited to size and weight). I will help make arraignments for packing and shipping. Packing and shipping may result in additional cost to the model or buyer.

Thanks,
Jim
