Q1. Is consultation or estimation free?
A1. Of course, consultations and estimation are free of charge. Please feel free to contact us.
Q2. How much is the production cost?
A2. It will also change depending on these factors. The size of the illustration, taste and touch (atmosphere of illustration finish such as three-headed manga style or seven-headed realistic feeling), single color or full color, drawing condition, purpose of use, amount and delivery date. Complex ones are more time-consuming than simple ones. Also, the more realistic taste than the comical one, the more preparatory work such as collecting materials and taking poses to make the person look natural, so the production cost will be increased accordingly. It will be made to order from one point, but I will respond as flexibly as possible to match your budget. Please feel free to contact me.

Please refer to the production process.

Q16. What are your evaluations and achievements?
A16. I have more than 130 transactions since the opening of the business, and I have actual results of 20 years. I respond sincerely to all requested projects and deliver them without delay, which has been well received by our clients. The image below shows the actual use of the danger prediction illustration created at the request of Child Safety Town Development Partners. It was very popular with children.
Q17. Is there a policy for illustration production?
A17. As for the production policy, I believe that it is my top priority to give shape to the image according to the request of the client, except when I can leave everything to me. I hope my illustrations will be useful for something, which may be exaggerated, but I would like to contribute to society with illustrations.
Q18. Can I arrange and use the illustrations posted?
A18. In order to avoid troubles, the reuse of illustrations created in the past or the use of some of them arranged are limited to the same client. If you would like a similar touch, I will make it again, so please let me know.
Q19. How is personal information handled?
A19. I will not use it for anything other than what is necessary for the progress of production. I will handle it strictly, protect it from leakage to the outside, and manage it appropriately. Also, please be assured that I will respond promptly if you receive a request for deletion.
Q20. I can't connect to the phone, what's happening?
A20. apologize for the inconvenience, but I don't accept calling from overseas because of my literacy for foreign launguages.
Q21. Is it possible to buy illustrations including the copyright?
A21. Yes, it is possible. Regarding the purchase cost, I am considering about 50% of the production cost. In addition, I usually think that the moral rights of the author (right not to modify the work without permission (identity retention right), etc.) will not be transferred even if purchased, but depending on the contract, the moral rights of the author may not be transferred. Please contact me.
Q22. You're drawing portraits and movie illustrations, but is it okay?
A22. I think these are fair uses. Because I specify the reference sources, respect them sufficiently, and create them as studies. But if you have any problems, please let me know. Thank you.
