Our process

How We Turn Your Story Into a Comic or Animation

Our process ensures transparency, collaboration, and quality from start to finish.

  • You share your theme, story, or message, along with any background information.

  • We review your brief and send you a custom quote.

  • Once approved, our team researches and writes a contextualized script that fits your audience and location (for example, adapting for Togo, Cameroon, or specific communities or explaining crypto to kids).

  • We provide a one-page synopsis to ensure we’re aligned on story direction before illustration begins.

  • Our writers develop a detailed script for artists, which you can review.

  • Once your project is approved, our illustrators bring it to life through a streamlined, specialized production process. Each artist focuses on their core expertise, ensuring both high quality and fast delivery. With years of experience, we’ve refined an optimal workflow that guarantees efficiency at every stage.

    The penciller creates the storyboard,

    the inker refines the lines, and

    the colorist breathes life into the visuals.

  • The letterer adds dialogue and sound effects, while the translator adapts the content for multilingual audiences — ensuring your story speaks to everyone it’s meant to reach.

  • You review the draft to confirm it matches the approved synopsis. At this stage, only corrections, not story changes, are made.

  • We apply your feedback and send the final version for approval.

  • Once approved, you receive the final digital files, and the project is officially completed.

FAQ

s

  • 1. Do you offer printing services?

    No. Our deliverables are provided in digital format (PNG or JPEG). However, we can recommend trusted printing partners if you wish to produce physical copies.

  • 2. What types of projects do you handle?

    We specialize in children’s illustrated books, comic books, and short animations. Whether you’re an NGO, company, or storyteller, we adapt your message into engaging visual narratives.

  • 3. How is payment structured?

    Our payment plan is divided into three stages:

    50% upfront before production begins

    30% upon submission of the first version (before corrections)

    20% after final delivery with all corrections applied

    This ensures transparency and smooth collaboration throughout the project.

  • 4. How long does a typical project take?

    Production time varies depending on the scope, but it’s not a matter of days.

    For example, a 10-page comic book (with 4–5 panels per page) typically takes around 30 days:

    3–7 days for research and scriptwriting

    2 weeks for penciling, inking, coloring, and lettering

    1 week for corrections and client feedback

    This timeline ensures both quality and storytelling consistency.

  • 5. How is pricing determined?

    Our pricing depends on the type and complexity of your project:

    Comic books: Priced per page.

    Animations: Priced per minute.

    We recommend a minimum of 10 pages for comic books to deliver a complete story with a clear buildup and satisfying conclusion.

    Each project is unique, so we’ll provide a custom quote based on your needs and expectations.
