About this gig

Create childrens book characters from the buyers story, description, sketch, or reference. I focus on personality first, so each character has a clear identity, age, silhouette, clothing, facial features, body language, and visual details that make them memorable on the page.


This gig is ideal for:

Picture books and middle grade stories.

Main characters and supporting casts.

Adventure, fantasy, school and family stories.

Educational and self-publishing projects.

Authors who need a character developed before full illustration.


I can create human characters, animals, fantasy creatures, or imaginative story characters. Your package can include a character, supporting character designs, expressions, poses, color direction, and source files depending on the option selected.


My process is simple: understand the story develop the character concept refine the approved direction create the finished hand-drawn artwork.


Send your character description or manuscript before ordering if you are unsure which package fits your project. I will help define full scope before we begin!
