Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use an illustration agency?

It’s a time- and money-saving option. An illustration agency takes care of all the communication, financial, and legal aspects of illustration creation. An agency producer works closely with you to ensure that all business tasks are met and the initial vision is preserved.

How much does the creation of an illustration cost?

The cost of an illustration depends on three factors: the illustration style, size, and project deadlines. Every style and illustrator has an individual rate per illustration. We’re always ready to suggest an artist that will meet your budget or offer to consider another style that will work with your idea, brand, or business.

How can I ensure that the illustrator meets the deadlines?

This is our responsibility. Our producers prepare and follow the pipeline from the beginning of the project until the final result. We know how to manage tight deadlines and meet expectations.

How do I know if the illustrator is right for my project?

You can determine this from the illustrator’s portfolio or a test image. Most artists’ portfolios are available on the TALENT page. In case of any further doubts, it’s possible to do a paid test illustration with one or several illustrations. This would give you reassurance for further cooperation and the final result.

What illustration style do I need?

The illustration style most often depends on the task and media placement. Sometimes you have references from other illustrators or Pinterest, and that’s great. Sometimes you only have an idea, and that's also fine! Our 10+ years of experience and talent selection will provide you with options of styles and artists that will meet your budget and terms. We’re constantly looking for new artists and keeping track of recent trends. We’ve got you covered with this!

What is the process of illustration creation?

We begin with your brief, then create a ballpark estimate and select artists. After illustrator and budget approval, we commence with the sketch, followed by a detailed sketch and final illustration. Our producers will carefully guide you through every stage and ensure that your revisions are implemented, respecting the deadlines.

Can I create an animation video with illustrations?

Absolutely! We love bringing motion to our visuals. Our animators and illustrators collaborate and understand the requirements of effective videos, including explanatory videos, cartoons, flat animation, and 3D. We can accommodate all of them. Please provide us with your references so we can suggest the appropriate style and solution or create something similar to the examples you have.

How long does it take to create an animation video?

The timeframe depends on the video duration, animation style, and project complexity. The simplest video animation takes 2-3 weeks to complete. Each video production comprises three stages: storyboard and script development, creation of illustrations for each frame, and animation itself. We also offer professional voice-over recording, music creation, or assistance with buyouts. Check our PROJECTS page to view some final results.

And finally, what is a brief?

A brief is a document, typically an email or a simple Word document, where you gather all the necessary information for the project. Rest assured, we will follow up with you in case we require additional information or if something is missing. Initially, we typically need the following data: what needs to be done, style references, and project deadlines. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you don’t have a brief. We can work together to figure it out!
