Character Creation

If you require a very specific character for your cover that cannot be sourced from normal royalty-free image sources, this character may need to be created using specialized 3D software for an additional fee. Examples of this will include very specific clothing or armor, body positioning, or detailed scenes. Requests like “running man” or “woman in a red cape” generally would not require character creation, but something like “man in blue armor, carrying a battle axe over his shoulder, while resting in the forest” would require character creation.

Alternatively, more flexibility in the brief can avoid this fee (e.g., an axe is crucial to the story, much of it takes place in the forest, and the protagonist wears blue armor). In that case, we would create drafts where character creation is not required. If you would like to discuss this aspect before submitting your full brief and paying a deposit, please contact us.

PLEASE NOTE: Simpler cover concepts are almost always better. If a scene is too complex and has too many competing focal points, then it makes that cover less effective.
