Drawings and Character Illustration, in Any Style.

Custom illustration for campaigns, characters, key art, and the moments photography can’t reach.

What it is

A World of the Brand’s Own.

Illustration gives a brand a world of its own. For Literati’s Everglow Forest Book Fair, a dragon reading to a unicorn became the key art for a whole program, with social posts, print and animation built from it. Illustration works where photography can’t: abstract ideas, characters, maps, and the playful or editorial tone a campaign calls for.

We develop the style with you, references, sketches and a color system, then produce the set, with every piece built in layers so it can be animated, cropped or extended later.

Why it works

What Illustration Does for a Brand.

  • A style that’s yours

    Developed from references and your brand, or extended from the illustration you already use, so it can’t be mistaken for stock.

  • Built to animate

    Every illustration is layered and organized so Motion Graphics can bring it to life without redrawing.

  • Consistent across a campaign

    Key art, social, print and packaging drawn as one set, with a palette and character sheets that keep the next piece on model.

FAQ

Questions About Illustrations.

Can you match an illustration style we already use?
Yes. We study your existing work and extend it, or develop a new style with you from references.
Can the illustrations be animated?
Yes. We build in layers so Motion Graphics can bring them to life without redrawing, from a looping social post to a full explainer.
Who owns the artwork?
You do. You own the media and the files, and the layered sources are delivered with the exports.
