Each project is unique so to make the final price I would need more information/description of the illustration
(more characters, complex elements, the background complexity, etc.
The price may change if you have special requests (e.g.: strict deadline, more sketches, psd file, etc.)
BASIC PRICES, COMMERCIAL USE
Full resolution with preparation for printing, (300dpi, bleeds, cover composition, RGB and CMYK)
Single character + simple background $600
Two characters + simple background $700
Simple background: lights, fog, color, basic simple forms, distant simple landscapes (more shapes), no details, etc.
More complicated background from $100
There will be extra pay for: Complicated armor, weapon, accessoires, costumes, wings, pets.
Additional typography $50 – $125 depends on style and complexity
The final pice depends on complexity of the illustration – how many characters you would like, complex elements, the background complexity, additional elements (wings, etc.)

Cover illustration:
1. You send me a description with visual references (you can collect some references in a Pinterest board or Google Drive folder or send it with a link by Wetransfer, etc. to showcase the mood, character, clothes, the environment pertaining to your book. You can also sketch what you have in mind, sketches work really great, no matter if they are stick men 🙂 The references are often better than written descriptions because you can simply show what you have in mind and avoid unnecessary changes and amendments in the project.
2. I send you 3 sketches of the artwork – at this stage you will have 2 rounds of changes in the selected sketch.
3. I send you a more advanced sketch with some color variations to choose – at this stage you will have 2 minor corrections or adjustments (in the sketch and/or colors)
4. I sent you the final piece for preview – at this stage only minor changes are allowed, like change of colors.
After payment I send you the full resolution version.
Typography:
After step 3, I send you selected cover with 2 version of typography to choose. At this stage you will have 2 minor corrections or adjustments
– I will send you a recipe or invoice.
– I use Wise so you can send payment directly in Wise (e-mail or link) or to my Wise bank number account.
If you prefer other payment method, please ask.
– For clients from outside the EU VAT is 0%, for clients from the EU it depends on the country.
(If you are outside of the EU but don’t have a company and want a bill, there will be added +23% VAT to the price)
As an artist I retain rights to the artwork (displaying in portfolio (+social media)/gallery (after the official premiere)) unless otherwise negotiated.
