How we work

From spark to final frame, in four panels

  1. 1

    Spark

    We dig into your manuscript, audience and reading level, then agree on scope, style and schedule.

  2. 2

    Sketch

    Character studies, thumbnails and storyboards you can mark up before a single line is inked.

  3. 3

    Ink & color

    Final art, animation and lettering, shared through a private review portal at every milestone.

  4. 4

    Deliver

    Print-ready and broadcast-ready files, sent securely, with source files and usage rights clearly documented.

Made for young readers. Safe with your work.
