FAQ

1. How do I request a commission?

You can submit your idea through the Commission Request Form on our website. Include as much detail as you’d like, concept, characters, mood, references, etc. Once received, we’ll review it and get back to you with a quote and timeline.

2. How much do your illustrations cost?

Pricing varies depending on the type of artwork, level of detail, and intended use (e.g., personal, commercial, or book cover).
A general price guide is available on our Pricing Page, and you will always receive a personalised quote before any work begins.

3. What information do you need from me?

Typically:

  • A description of your idea
  • Character details or references
  • Preferred style or colour palette
  • The intended use of the artwork
  • Deadline (if any)

The more detail you provide, the better we can capture your vision.

4. Do you offer revisions?

Yes. All commissions include a set number of revisions at the sketch and colour stages. Extra revisions beyond that may have an additional cost, which will be discussed upfront.

5. How long does an illustration take?

Turnaround time depends on complexity and current workload.
Most commissions take 1–3 weeks, while full book cover illustrations may take 3–5 weeks. You will receive a clear timeline with your quote.

6. What payment methods do you accept?

We currently accept:

  • PayPal
  • Revolut

Payment instructions will be provided once your commission is approved.

Book covers can also be delivered with bleed, spine, and print specs if needed.

10. Do you draw everything?

We specialise in:

  • Book cover illustrations

We may decline commissions that fall outside our style or expertise (e.g., heavy graphic design, NSFW, or ultra-realistic portraits).

11. What if I cancel my commission?

Deposits are non-refundable once work begins.
If you cancel after significant progress has been made, additional partial payment may be required depending on the stage of completion.
