Characters that feel like someone you already know.
We draw picture books, game characters and friendly mascots for brands that would rather be liked than noticed.

Selected work
A few projects we can show. Most of our client work lives under NDA until release day, so the archive is bigger than this page.
What we do
We are small on purpose: two illustrators, one project at a time, and you always talk to the people drawing.
Picture books
Full books from first sketches to print-ready files. We work with authors and with publishers, 24 to 48 pages.
from €4,800 per book
Character design
Turnarounds, expressions and colour keys for games and animation. Sheets ready for 2D or 3D production.

Brand mascots
A friendly face for your product: the character, a short style guide and a starter set of poses.
from €2,400
Editorial

The studio
“We draw the kind of characters we wanted on our walls when we were seven.”
Blinde Dog started at a kitchen table and moved to a small studio with a large window. We still answer every email ourselves, usually within a day.
