Where to commission chess pieces?

Hi Chess community! I'm trying to commission someone to make a chess set inspired by the figurines in the image below:

It doesn't have to be as elaborate in terms of detail, instead I want to keep the concept of the colors, black with gold accents and white with gold accents. I looked around for premade sets but didn't really find anything with this design concept.

Does anyone know any good artists that are up for this type of job? Thanks!

With the amount of demand volume that the craftsman from India are experiencing right now they aren't taking any custom orders. Otherwise they traditionally have been open to custom orders. 

If material doesn't matter I would look towards a vendor that deals with selling 3D printed items. Or possibly contacting a CNC fabricator.

You can try to go to the normal sources who produce their own sets such as Chessbazaar, the Chess Empire, and Staunton Castle. However, as KineticPawn mentioned, it might be difficult for these sources to help you.

Also a member here made his own custom set. I believe it was @EfimLG467 who had an old set commissioned. This was pre-QG release. He made 20 sets. You can also reach out to Dennis from Legends Products (https://www.legendproduct.com/index.html) and also Shelby from American Chess Equipment (https://amchesseq.com). They are both members of CB&E.

The owner Alan Power does custom refinishing on chess sets maybe he could help you.
