About this gig
Bringing a premium TCG or board game to life requires striking artwork and precise technical design.
As a professional tabletop illustrator and layout expert, I don't just draw characters, I architect cohesive gaming worlds. I bridge the gap between your raw mechanics and manufacture-ready assets, using deep knowledge of bleed lines and UI layout to ensure your project looks like a polished retail product.
My Specialties Include:
- Custom TCG Card Illustration: High-impact character, creature, and item artwork.
- Premium Frames & Templates: Bespoke borders, resource counters, and vector text boxes.
- Board Game Assets: Immersive maps, main boards, and custom game tiles.
- Box Art & Packaging: Cover illustrations and print-ready box packaging dielines.
- Technical Deliverables: Flawless 300 DPI files, including high-res PNGs, PDFs, and layered PSD files.
Whether you are launching on Kickstarter or finalizing a custom deck, I ensure your assets match professional printing specifications perfectly.

FAQ
What do I need to provide before we start?
Just your basic game rules, a rough sketch or concept of your layout ideas, any visual references you like, and your manufacturer's print dimensions. I'll handle all the complex technical structuring from there.
Can I get a custom quote for a full deck or large project?
Yes! Every game project is completely unique. Just hit the "Contact Seller" button and send me your total card count or component list, and I will create a tailored custom offer that perfectly fits your production budget.
Do you handle the physical printing of the game?
I provide 100% digital, print-ready source files (300 DPI PNG, PDF, and layered PSD/AI templates) with exact bleed lines. You can send these files straight to any professional board game manufacturer or upload them directly to Kickstarter.
