How does this work?
We'll draw whatever kind of comic or illustration you want, in whatever style you want, whether it's for a gift, for your business, or just for yourself. Easy ordering, flat rates, and no hassle! Once we receive your comic concept, I'll contact you to set a deadline, gather photos, and make payment arrangements. As soon as we receive your payment, we'll start drawing your comic.
What information do you need from me?
You can give us as much or as little information as you want. Some folks send us a full script. Others just tell us roughly what they're looking for, and let us be creative! Send photos, notes, whatever you want and we can work from it. We can draw anyone you want anyway you want into a comic book.
How many frames will fit on a page?
We will draw up to 5 simple panels per page, or one big beautiful illustration.
How long will this take?
Let us know when you need it, and we'll work it out. But the longer you give us, the better the comic will turn out. Generally we can produce 2 complete pages in 7 business days.
Our track record:
This year we created over 300 pages of comic book art that was in fact published. In 2010..300 pages of published art. IN 2011 around 200. And...we can back up these numbers. We don't talk about production--we produce. Not many studios can boast those kind of numbers. Most studios are lucky to produce 20 pages a year.
What if I want a printed book?
We are not printers but create print ready files. These files will be sent to you and you can take them anywhere and print them!
After we create your original comic book art we produce for you a high resolution set of color files that can be sent or brought by hand, to any printer and printed into a book or posters or whatever you want. We currently suggest to use a local printer for a small number of pages. It is cost effective and local printers are fast. If you want to produce a compete book and want prints of that book we can suggest a comic book printer for your book and that cost is between you and the printer. To create a print ready book (a file is produced of your comic pages that meets the specs of your printer) for a book, from your comic pages, is a fee of $25.00.
What if I want a poster print?
After we create your original comic book art you can take that digital file and make a poster anywhere!. The digital file can print into a poster at any local print shop. Kinko's or any local print shop can and will do it and charge depending on the size.. How much does it cost for a poster print of a single page? It all depends on what your local printer will charge you.
What is the deal with rights?
Each custom comic book comes with the full, nonexclusive rights to do whatever you want with it, even if you make a billion dollars off of it. You can make copies, post it online, sell it to a major publisher, whatever you like. We reserve the right to use the comic in our portfolios to show off our work. If you're interested in exclusive rights, just ask! No need to worry if we're working with your scripts or original characters, we make no claim to them!
Do I get to approve each stage of the process?
The production process of custom comics are set up to get work done fast, and cheap. This means that writing, penciling, and inking are done all in one go. If you want to okay a script or a character sketch before we start however, we can do that. Just let us know up front. We will make certain that the comic is of high quality, and fits all of the parameters we discussed prior to starting work. The finished product is sent "as-is". If there is a mistake, or a spelling error, we will make quick fixes, but if you want changes to the comic that will require redrawing or anything, we will have to negotiate a fair fee to do the extra work. Changes after work has begun will result in an additional fee.
What if I'm interested in something that isn't mentioned or offered here?
Just e-mail, and we'll work it out! Whether you're looking for logos, flyers, brochures, coloring books, children's books, animation, music.... Really, if you are seeking out any creative endeavor chances are we can do it, or can find someone who can!
