Service introduction
About our digital cartooning service
A good cartoon is instantly readable and full of character.
We sketch expressive concepts, refine the chosen design, and deliver clean digital artwork in poses and formats you can use across channels.
Character and humour
Cartooning for mascots, strips and editorial work
Cartooning carries tone quickly, which is why it works for brand mascots, explainer content, greeting ranges and editorial commentary.
We build a mascot or cartoon character as a system: a set of expressions, a pose library and clear construction rules so the character can be redrawn in new situations later without drifting. Line weight and colour are set for the smallest place the character will appear, usually an app icon or a social avatar, then scaled up rather than down.
- Expression and pose libraries supplied with every character
- Construction rules so the character can be extended later
- Designed to hold up at avatar and icon size
We work with brands, app teams and publishers in the United States, United Kingdom, UAE and India. Send us your project details and we will reply with questions, an approach and a quote before any work starts.
