Indie Zine (8–16pp)
A complete short zine, from your seed of an idea to print files.
What this commission entails
The full descent: an 8 to 16-page zine built with you from a seed — a sentence, a dream, a photograph. Story shaping, thumbnails, inks, color, lettering and print-ready files, all in one commission. You arrive with a spark; you leave with a book.
Zines are the studio's native format, so the process is thorough: a story outline you approve, thumbnail pass, finished art in the spectral palette, hand lettering, and a pre-press check with your printer's specs. Ideal for convention debuts and kickstarters.
What's included
Story shaping
Outline and beat sheet developed from your seed, approved before drawing starts.
Full sequential art
8–16 finished pages through the whole four-layer process, thumbnails to lettering.
Cover + pre-press
Cover design and print-ready files checked against your printer's specifications.
Debut support
Social crops, a convention-table banner file, and a launch checklist from six years of tabling.

Asked before you ask
I only have a vague idea. Is that enough?
It's the ideal start. The story-shaping phase exists exactly for vague ideas — bring the feeling and we'll find the plot together.
Can you print and ship the run too?
The commission covers print-ready files and printer liaison. Print runs are quoted separately once the page count is locked.
