SERVICES


Here is the list of services I provide.


BOOK COVERS

I make custom book covers to specifications. I also do premades which can be bought at a cheaper price. Currently available premades can be seen at the bottom of the page.

CHARACTER ART


I make character art to specifications, one or several characters, in a painted style.

LOGOS & BOOK INTERIOR ART


I create logos and symbols for author names and to use for book interiors.

PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL


I do promotional material, banners, sales images, and so on.

WHAT I DO


MY PROCESS

I use various techniques while creating my digital art, including digital painting, overpainting, and photo manipulation. I usually start out with a mockup that I will send my client to accept before I go ahead with the image. From there, we keep close contact as I finalise the art.

NO AI

I do NOT use AI software during any stage of my process. Some stock image sites are selling AI generated images, but I do my best to avoid those.

TESTIMONIALS


“Working with Catrin on my covers was an absolute joy. She knows her way around Photoshop and has a great understanding of what works in different genres, and what doesn’t. I’m so pleased with the resulting covers. They look gorgeous and I’ll definitely use her again!"


Jayne Lockwood

“Catrin did a fantastic job on my cover(s). She took the key elements from my story and tied them all together in ways I wouldn’t have imagined. She was flexible and patient and brought her own ideas to the table, delivering the goods with professionalism and a sense of humour."


C. F. Welburn

“Catrin Russell is not only a prolific author but also an exceptionally gifted graphic designer. After admiring her many creations for covers and character art, I found out, she also offers cover design now. I reached out and asked her about it, as I had so far done my own covers, due to a very tight budget. Catrin not only patiently worked with me as we tried out several ideas my untrained mind came up with and her showing and explaining to me why one thing or the other would or wouldn’t work, but she explained things in such a way that I, as a complete amateur, could easily understand. All throughout the process, I felt understood, valued and supported. My input was taken seriously and my ideas enhanced and expanded upon in a beautifully artistic way that I could not have imagined myself.

I am beyond thrilled at my new cover for Her Badass Bikers, a contemporary reverse harem romance novel, the first professionally done of them all, and am already discussing the next one. I’m not only in awe of her professional skills but also her patience, kindness, and her willingness and abilities to listen to my ideas and find the best possible way to honour them while designing with her exceptional artistic skills. I must recommend her most highly to anyone seeking a designer who is not only gifted in talent and professional skills but also listens to the author’s vision and works together on a perfect final outcome for both."
