Kompanie — How it works

Six steps, and you approve each one.

Nothing is painted until you have approved the characters and the sketches. That is how a fixed price stays fixed.

    You tell us

    What you're making, who it's for, how long it is and when you need it. For a gift book, a few photos and the things your child loves. For an author's book, the manuscript or a summary.

    A fixed price

    Within two business days you get a package, a price and a schedule. Anything outside the package is quoted before we start it, never after.

    Characters first

    Before any page is drawn you approve a character sheet: each character from the front, side and back, with a few expressions. This is the cheapest moment to change your mind.

    Sketches

    Every page arrives as a pencil sketch. You check the story, the poses and where the text sits. Revision rounds on sketches are part of every package.

    Finished art

    Approved sketches are painted in the look you chose. You see the finished pages and use your remaining revision rounds.
