FAQ
Do you create every artwork from scratch?
Yes. Every artwork is created exclusively for your project. I never use AI-generated images, templates, or copy existing artworks.
Can I send references or inspiration?
Absolutely! Feel free to send album covers, artworks, Pinterest boards, color palettes, photos, or anything that helps me understand your vision. References inspire the direction of the artwork but are never copied.
Can you include me or my band in the artwork?
Yes. If you’d like specific people to appear in the artwork, please provide clear, high-quality reference photos.
What will I receive?
You’ll receive a high-resolution file ready for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Bandcamp, printing, and other platforms. If your artwork is created digitally, a source file can also be provided if included in your order.
What music genres do you work with?
I work with all genres, but my artistic style is especially suited for metal, rock, gothic, dark pop, electronic, ambient, experimental, cinematic, and other projects looking for a surreal or symbolic aesthetic.
Can you copy another artist’s style or album cover?
No. I create original artwork inspired by your ideas, but I don’t copy existing artworks or imitate other artists’ work.
Can I request revisions?
Of course! The number of revisions depends on the package you choose. Revisions are intended for adjustments to the approved artwork, not for creating a completely new concept.
Do you create Photoshop photo manipulations?
No. My work focuses on original fine art and illustration rather than Photoshop photo manipulations. If you’re looking for a unique artistic cover, I’d be happy to help.
Why should I choose your artwork instead of AI?
Because every piece is created with artistic intention, personal communication, and attention to your music. I don’t generate random images—I create artwork that reflects your story, atmosphere, and identity.
