Nikos Dresios working on a large creature sculpture in the studio

Nikos Dresios

N.A.G. Sculpture Studios was founded in 2006 by Nikos Dresios, a special-effects and makeup artist with a passion for character creation. From screen-inspired replicas to original characters, each piece is sculpted with precision, respect and a love for the craft.

Since then the studio has produced replicas, concept characters and creatures for collectors and for film, and takes commissions on portraits and replicas realised as life-size busts, scaled busts and masks.

From Concept to Creation

  1. 01

    Reference

    Every piece starts with research: screen captures, casts, anatomy and the reference the client supplies.

  2. 02

    Sculpt

    The form is built in oil-based clay or digitally, then refined until the likeness and character are right.

  3. 03

    Mold / Print

    Finished sculpts are moulded in silicone and plaster, or printed and cleaned for casting.

  4. 04

    Cast

    Pieces are cast in latex, silicone, resin or fiberglass depending on how they will be used.

  5. 05

    Finish

    Paint, hair punching, eyes and costume are done by hand, one piece at a time.
