FAQ
Do I need to send you the whole manuscript?
Not necessarily. But before starting, I’ll need either a full manuscript or a page-by-page breakdown of what should be illustrated. This helps me plan the layout, characters, and flow of the visuals accurately.
Can you help with text placement or layout?
Yes! I offer layout and text placement as an optional service. Just let me know the font you like and where you’d like the text to go. I can deliver a print-ready PDF file.
What if I want revisions?
All packages include a revision phase. Usually, I provide sketches first, and you approve them before we move to color. Once color begins, only small adjustments are allowed. Major changes after approval may incur extra fees.
Do you include source files (PSD / Clip Studio / Procreate)?
Not by default. The base price includes flattened high-resolution images (JPG or PNG, 300 DPI). If you want the original layered files, I can provide them for an additional 20–50% fee, depending on the scope.
Can I use the illustrations for printing, eBooks, or merchandise?
Yes, standard pricing includes non-exclusive commercial use for books (print and digital). If you want exclusive rights or plan to use the art on merchandise, we can discuss an extended license.
How long does it take to complete a full book?
On average, a 24-page book with a cover takes 6–8 weeks, depending on complexity and feedback speed. Rush delivery may be available — message me for details.
