Two ways in

Come for the art, the publishing, or both

Most studios do one and outsource the other. We do both in house — which is why the cover, the interior and the listing all look like they belong to the same book.

Art & Illustration

  • Comic pages — print or webtoon
  • Illustration & key visuals
  • Character art & reference sheets

Six things we draw, properly

No traced templates, no stock filters. Every commission begins as a rough you approve before a single line is inked.

  • Script-to-page or page-to-page
  • Webtoon vertical or print layout
  • Lettering and SFX included
🎨

Illustration

Single-image pieces built for a moment: chapter art, key visuals, posters, merch prints.

  • Line, flat colour or full render
  • Print-ready at 300 DPI
  • Backgrounds and props included
👤

Character Art

Turnarounds, expression sheets and references your whole team can draw from.

  • Front / side / back turnaround
  • Expression and pose sheets
  • Colour palette callouts
📕

Book Cover

Covers built to win on an Amazon thumbnail and still hold up on a printed spine.

  • Front, back and spine wrap
  • KDP and IngramSpark templates
  • Typography and blurb layout
🎞️

Animation

Short animated pieces — motion for a trailer, a loop for a channel, a scene brought to life.

  • Frame-by-frame or cut-out rig
  • Trailers, intros and loops
  • MP4 plus source files

OC's

Original characters designed from a description — for your comic, your channel or your table.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How much does an art commission cost?

It depends on complexity, page count and turnaround — a single character illustration and a twenty-page coloured comic are very different jobs. Send the brief and you get a fixed quote within 24 hours, with no obligation to book.

How long does publishing take?

Timelines depend on manuscript readiness and revision rounds. Typically three to eight weeks from submission to live publication, and you're kept informed at every stage with clear dates.

Who owns the book and the artwork?

You do — one hundred percent. You keep complete ownership of content, rights, pricing and publishing decisions, plus the layered source files for any art. A full NDA and service agreement protect your intellectual property.

Can I submit a handwritten manuscript?

Yes. Clear scans or well-lit photos of handwritten pages are fine. We transcribe and professionally typeset your manuscript to publishing standards.

How many revisions do I get?

Revisions are unlimited at the sketch and editing stage — that is the point of sketching first. After inking or typesetting, two rounds of changes are included, and anything beyond that is quoted upfront so there are no surprise invoices.

Can you match a specific art style?

Yes. Send references or an existing issue and we will match line weight, colour handling and lettering. If we do not think we can hit the style well, we will say so rather than take the job.

Where will my book be available?

On 50+ platforms worldwide including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Barnes & Noble, IngramSpark, Kobo and Scribd — in e-book, paperback and hardcover, with print on demand.

What does the money-back guarantee cover?

If we fail to deliver the agreed services to the standard set out in your service agreement, you are entitled to a full refund.
