FAQ
What do you need from me, the author?
Your story text, character descriptions (age, appearance, personality), description of the world of the story, If you have a desired color scheme, include it, visual references = great! Also: number of pages/illustrations, book size, any other technical requirements.
What style can you do?
I am somewhat flexible in whether I create a digital watercolour look or a flat gouache or pastel look - I can even work in vectors if you need - slightly more cartoony or slightly more realistic. But the way I draw characters does tend to shine through, so have a look at my portfolio to see.
Do you illustrate characters only?
Yes! My Basic package on this gig could be used for a single character and simple background, but have a look at my character illustration gig for more flexibility and pricing options.
Do you illustrate book covers alone?
Yes! If you're looking for an illustrated cover for your YA, fantasy or Romance novel, please have a look at my other gigs for pricing and to place an order. Or message me for a custom quote.
