Sorry for the uninformative title but it's hard to explain what I'm trying to ask here.
For starters, I am REALLY sorry if I'm am posting this in the wrong place, but the M&P section is the only place I could think of to put this question.
Anyway, I have a ton of drawings lying around of 40k and random model ideas that I have wanted to see in actual model form for a long time. I just wanted to know if there is a way that I could see these drawings produced into full fledged models without actually having to sculpt them myself, I suck at sculpting(and dont know how to do digital design). I, myself actually have one idea to throw out there:
I could sell some drawings to company/sculptor that would like to make them into models(selling the drawings isn't necessary but I cannot pay for them to be sculpted because I don't have very much money)
As we all know, this probably would not work because I'm pretty sure that companies like Forgeworld, GamesWorkshop, etc. have thier own people in design and don't usually take designs from random people.
Is there a company that sculpts models from requests that prices itself extremely cheaply?(with good quality sculpting)
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas please share them.
P.S., here is my take on a greater demon of nurgle, is it good?:

just an idea here:
ask about on here for a sculpter, someone would be willing to make it for you for a price.
if you do get them to make it you can then take it and get it casted if needed.
thats how alot of people do it.
i like the idea, just not too keen on the thing popping out of its head.

Yeah, I didn't really like the top body and also it would probably mean that the GD would be killed in-game pretty fast since everything can see the top body.
also if anyone was wondering, that mouth on the main body is a gigantic rift in his upper body that leads into a tear in his stomach skin, not a gas tube or something else(pictures made it look weird)
Anyway thanks JD21290, How about this: If anybody wants to sculpt this mini(with or without the top body) please reply or PM me and we can work out a deal. The most I can pay anyone is around 40 u.s. dollars(everyone planning to reply up to this point suddenly stops and rethinks their decision) but If the person has an online store or sells minis they are free to cast and sell it and keep all profits.BUT i need to see pics of a previous sculpt from the person who pm's me, as i want the sculpt to look professional quality. also, Do I have to make this sort of announcement in the dakka swap shop? if so I will rewrite this post...

best bet is just make a thread asking for commission sculpters, explain in the 1st post all the limitations and what you want, im sure someone will PM you about it.
