Pictures that carry the story
Two studios under one roof. Trade illustration for covers, interiors and comics, and a dedicated children’s book studio that works to page count, spread and bleed from the first sketch.
Covers, interiors, comics and trailers
Commissioned per book, matched to the genre and the shelf it will sit on. You approve the sketch before any finished art begins.
Original art built to the trim, spine and jacket flaps of your edition.
Chapter openers, maps, diagrams and vignettes for print and eBook.
Pencils, inks, colour and lettering, panelled to a finished script.
Animated art, type and score, cut for retail pages and social.
Sketch first, always
We read the manuscript and agree the style with you in writing.
Thumbnails and character roughs, two rounds of changes included.
Rendered at 300 dpi to the exact trim, with bleed and safety.
Layered source files handed over, with full rights assigned to you.
A separate studio, because picture books are a separate craft
Character sheets, a full storyboard, and page-by-page spreads planned to a 24, 32 or 40 page signature so the pacing lands where the page turns.
Turnarounds, expressions and scale, so the same child looks like the same child on page 30.
The whole book thumbnailed first, so the page turns carry the surprise.
Full-bleed spreads, hand-placed text, and print-ready files for hardcover or board book.
Nothing is rendered until the thumbnails work
Full-colour art is the most expensive thing in the book, so it comes last. If a spread is not working at thumbnail size, no amount of rendering will save it, and we would rather redraw a thumbnail than a finished page.
