F.A.Q.

F.A.Q.

Frequently asked questions and additional informations about my services.

Will my book cover include typography design?+

I am a digital artist and I will provide you with illustrations/artwork only for your commercial or personal project; I do not offer typography, formatting or layout design.

Can you draw [____]?+

Most likely the answer is yes! I specialize in animals, creatures (included dragons), characters, and natural landscapes. To make sure we're a good fit, you can check the list of what I do and don't draw here. If your project falls into a grey area, just ask me.

What is the average turnaround time for a commission? +

Starting from 3 to 8 weeks, heavily depending on current waitlist and workload.
Feel free to inquire about last minute projects; rush fee is +50-100% on the top of total price. Please note: I do not accept rush orders for book covers.

How does the commission process works?+

The process is usually pretty straightforward: brief & contract → deposit → WIP approval (sketch/pre-render) → adjustments → final payment → artwork delivery.

How early do I need to book? +

Spots on my waitlist fill up very quickly and I am typically fully booked, so I recommend reaching out *at least* 4-5 months before your desired project start date. The sooner, the better!

How does payment work? +

50% payment deposit is required before starting the project, with remaining 50% due upon artwork delivery. I also offer custom payment plans, for £400 and over projects only. Feel free to ask about it!

What if I am working on a budget? +

Just let me know upfront, and we will work something out together!

document.querySelectorAll('.faq-q').forEach(function(q) { q.addEventListener('click', function() { var item = q.parentElement; var answer = item.querySelector('.faq-a'); var isActive = item.classList.contains('active'); document.querySelectorAll('.faq-item').forEach(function(other) { other.classList.remove('active'); other.querySelector('.faq-a').style.maxHeight = null; }); if (!isActive) { item.classList.add('active'); answer.style.maxHeight = answer.scrollHeight + 'px'; } }); });
