Professionally Illustrated Artistic Cover
$999
People DO judge books by their covers — and sometimes stock photography simply isn’t enough.
When your vision requires original characters, a unique artistic style, or a fully imagined world, a custom illustration may be the only way to bring your book to life.
This option is designed for authors who need something truly one-of-a-kind — artwork created from scratch, specifically for their story, tone, and audience.
Custom illustrated covers can be used for paperbacks, hardbacks, digital editions, audiobooks, and all marketing materials.
Get Original Artwork Created Exclusively for Your Book
If you want a cover illustration drawn specifically for your book — based on your characters, setting, and creative direction — this option is for you.
Our professional illustrators create custom artwork that cannot be replicated through stock imagery or photo manipulation. Every element is built intentionally to reflect your story’s tone and genre.
A custom illustrated cover is especially effective when:
- Your book features fantasy, sci-fi, or world-building elements that don’t exist in stock photography
- You need original character artwork
- You’re publishing a children’s book that requires a cohesive illustrated style
- You’re building a branded series with consistent artistic continuity
- Your creative vision demands something completely unique
If your concept can be achieved effectively with professional stock image design, a standard custom cover may be the more cost-effective choice. This illustrated option is reserved for projects that truly require original artwork.
Fully illustrated covers deliver a distinctive, premium look that can elevate your book’s presentation — especially in genres where illustration is expected or essential.
You can feel confident placing your cover in the hands of our experienced illustrators, who work closely with you to translate your vision into compelling original art.
Series Positioning
Illustrated covers are particularly powerful for series branding.
Think of iconic fantasy and middle-grade series — while each book features different imagery, the illustration style remains consistent, building instant recognition and long-term brand value.
