Keiken Illustrations
Fantasy art in a variety of mediums at all price ranges.
Completed figures
- Painted, completed sculptures.
- These are garage kits, not original Keiken concept art, although each piece is a one-of-a-kind due to being completed by Keiken. (Don't know what a garage kit is? Look here for an explanation or for painting services.)
- EVERY piece has unique things which have been done to it, such as real metal earrings, real metal swords, or extra pieces sculpted on.
- Due to the delicate nature of these pieces, thay cannot be shipped. I will hand deliver them, within a certain geographical area in the United States. Look here for details.

Figure Q's & A's
What is a garage kit?
A garage kit is a figure made of hard resin or vinyl (I only work on the resin kits). It comes in lots of pieces, unpainted and unfinished. It takes a LOT of work to finish a garage kit, sometimes more than others. Garage kits are usually based on well-known characters that are geared toward the audience: comic book, animation and figures based on paintings by famous painters are the most common. How delicate are the figures?
Pretty delicate. They cannot be played with. They should be displayed behind glass just like any other collectible figure. That's the reason why Keiken is not shipping them -- the likelihood that they would break during transport. See the map section, below, to see where they can be delivered. Want to see the figures in person before you buy?
Currently, they are on display and for sale at a nifty little store in Nashville named Happy Japan. If you like cute Japanese stuff, you MUST visit this store if you're in the area. What are painting services?
It's when someone has a garage kit that they don't want to finish themselves, so they hire someone to complete it for them. Does Keiken offer painting services?
Sure do! The cost to do a kit would depend on the size of the kit, the kind of base you'd like, how much modification the kit would need, the detail of the painting/prepping, the resin quality (some resin is SO hard to work on), and the condition of the kit when it's received (it's actually better to get it without having anything done to it since it's easier to go from the base kit instead of stripping it down before working on it). What if I want a character but I don't have it? Can Keiken get it for me?
Possibly. I would certainly try. Not every figure has a kit, and not every kit is available. Most are only availble for a short time, since they're made in limited quantities. Just contact me and I'll see what I can do.
Where kits will be delivered to:
I will deliver anywhere in the radius of Nashville/Knoxville/Chattanooga Tennessee and Columbia, Kentucky.
