A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Can I commission an original character?+
Yes. Start with a description, references and the mood you have in mind. Use the project brief above to organise your idea for a discussion with the studio.
What about book covers and commercial use?+
Choose commercial / publishing in your brief and describe where the artwork will appear. Pricing, usage rights, exclusivity and deliverables must be agreed in writing before work begins.
How do pricing and timelines work?+
Each project needs an individual quote based on its scope, characters, background, usage and deadline. Final rates, availability and revision terms will be added by the studio before launch.
