Decide on how many characters you’d like in your illustration. Option one, Baubles & Bobble Heads, allows you to have up to 9 characters and option two, Winter Wonderland Snow Globe allows you to have up to 5. The more you buy, the less you pay 🙂 Include anyone you like. Maybe your dog? Maybe you, your partner, your kids, and your furry kids? Or perhaps your mom and her pup? Or maybe you’d like to get an illustration done for your bestie? All creatures welcome too, so horse lovers, cat peeps and piglets come on over!
Your final illustration will have 9 circles, some of which are for your characters. For the extra decorative circles, you can tell me you absolutely must have the penguin or Rudolf, or any of the others, and I’ll slot that in for you. Or you could just let me have artistic license. Quite often I think that most people enjoy the surprise :]

Gather your reference images and either make use of the awesome ordering form or email your requirements to hello@nandiappleby.com. Please include your Instagram account handle too, so that once your piece is finished, I can share and tag you (unless you’d like me to keep as a surprise). Before I start your piece, I’ll write back to you to say, ‘Hey lovely face, you’re on the list and your piece is going to cost x’ so that it doesn’t freak you out when it’s your turn!
No problem. People are easy that way. I sort of really just need to know if what color hair you have, whether or not you normally wear glasses, and how old you look. Honestly, it’s not a photo realistic version of yourself, but a silly representation, so details aren’t that vital. However, I’m probably going to need a full version of your pets, particularly if they have interesting markings. If your dog is all one color, no sweat, but if he’s got rainbow dots, I’ll need to see that to include them. You can send multiple images too, and you don’t all have to be in one image for me to place you together in your illustration.
Firstly, I put your name in my super nerdy spreadsheet and check out your reference images. If I need something else from you, I’ll mail you asking for it, or I’ll write back to say that everything is good to go.
When it’s your turn I’ll illustrate your piece from start to finish and email you a low resolution version and a paypal.me link with the amount. When you’ve had a chance to make the payment I’ll send you the final version of your image. Easy peasy.
Absolutely. Because I live in South Africa, I regret that I don’t offer any printed products, which is one of the reasons I can keep my prices so reasonable. I don’t really trust the post office here to actually deliver your piece to you, and if it does arrive, probably after Christmas, it’s likely that it’ll be damaged. This is why I supply you with the artwork to have any printing done locally.
Anything you like! As many times as you like. I believe that you should have the freedom to turn your piece into greetings cards, gift tags, cushions, coasters, bedding if you so wish! The only limitation I have is that unless you specifically talk to me, these illustrations aren’t for commercial use. That means that sure, use it as your profile image, but please don’t turn it into an advert to promote your products, or use it as your logo. To be absolutely transparent, the reason for this is that usually commercial illustrations and graphics are designers’ bread and butter, and they’re not usually as inexpensive as this.
It is. You just need to give me a heads up before I start illustrating letting me know that this is your plan so that I can make sure all the lines are crisp and delicious. Sometimes it’s hard to see imperfections on a colored background (if you had one, we’d both be happy with it) so if you need a PNG with a transparent background, the process is a smidge different. No biggie, just let me know beforehand.
This years size is 16.6” square, but yell if you want your illustration to be bigger!
Sadly no. The amount of work to detail each piece (don’t forget those birds and snow flakes etc) is the same for once character on a single piece. If you had to squish all 4+ characters together for a family portrait, they’d probably be touching, and there’d be less room to do those details. That’s why I’m comfortable knocking down my prices for single pieces filled with multiple characters.
Of course! I’m happy to keep it a secret until Christmas 🙂 Who doesn’t love surprises?
It really depends on where you are in my list. I’m trying my best to finish at least one piece a day (though some families are huge, and these take longer) so more often than not, I’ll mail you to say I have so many people ahead of you in the queue so expect your piece this week, or next, or whenever. This promo is first come, first served, but if you haven’t provided reference images, or I need to query something with you before beginning, you might lose your place to the person just behind you. I’ll always do my best to get to you as speedily as possible though, so don’t worry, I’ve got you!
The nice thing about illustrating is that unlike a photograph you can use your imagination :] I prefer not to do traditional colors for animals, simply because in this color scheme, black and brown are way too harsh. Black is also tricky because you don’t want to lose any details, like eyes. I also tend to turn dark hair into purples and blues, so that things look softer and more playful, and red heads (how I love illustrating you) can expect corals and pinks!
I accept Paypal. I’ll send you a link to do this once your piece is ready. If you’ve never used Paypal before, don’t worry, I’ll talk you through it. It’s one the safest, most secure way to pay for online goodies.
Not unless you really love my work and you have extra pennies floating around to buy me a coffee :] You can do that by clicking here. But it’s not necessary! I love what I do, so that makes it worth while.
Oh you’re so sweet, why thank you! You certainly can. Send me an email to hello@nandiappleby.com and I’ll give you my addy.
Yes please! I’d love to see! It also helps me to share ideas with others considering getting an illustration, and this keeps the newfs and I in beanos and bananas :] A few words about your experience working with me would also be amazing!
Please email me! I’m really friendly and I’m very happy to help.
Decide on how many characters you’d like in your illustration. Each character costs US$33 when you order in August, US$35 in September, U$38 in October and US$40 in November , and you can include anyone you like. Maybe your dog? Maybe you, your partner, your kids, and your furry kids? Or perhaps your mom and her pup? Or maybe you’d like to get an illustration done for your bestie? All creatures welcome too, so horse lovers, cat peeps and piglets come on over!
Once you’ve thought about your characters, it’s time to think about the way this looks. Because this is a promotion, with super special prices, you can only pick colors used in the examples for your background. This year we have a dark option with a photo wall gallery, or a light option with loadsa pressies to choose from.
You also have to include Christmas props too (’cause otherwise, I’d have no work during the rest of the year and I’d have to find a ‘real’ job and be a ‘real’ human being, and that idea sucks). You can pick from the props, or you could just let me have artistic license. Quite often I think that most people enjoy the surprise :]
You don’t at all. So long as your piece fits this promo, I’m happy. It really just needs to look Christmasy. P.S Come on, these cliches are just supposed to make you giggle :]
The closer it gets to Christmas, the more rushed off my feet I tend to be. Think of it as incentives for giving me plenty of time to do my best work for you :]
If you have 4 characters, you get $5 off, 5 characters = $7 off, 6 characters = $10 off and so on! The more characters the merrier!

2017 Christmas Illustration Promo is now available! Click here to read more.
Every once in a while, and especially on the lead up to Christmas, I love to give everyone a chance to have a custom illustration to mark a special occasion at an affordable price. Each promotion and special is designed with a set colorscheme, a specific look and feel, and at a certain size, but apart from that, each piece is unique, full of personality and illustrated especially for you.
Each character (person, dog, horse, cat, pig etc) starts at US$33, but for those of you with big families, I offer discounts on 4+ characters, and for those of you who have bought from the same promotion the year before, get even more off! Please note that promotional pieces are not for commercial use. Otherwise, turn them into greetings cards, t-shirts, gift wrap, mugs and more :]
Promotions and specials run all year, so please don’t forget to follow on Facebook or Instagram to stay updated.
Branding is not just a logo alone. Every time you put something out there into the world that is meant to serve your company, it never hurts to brand the poop out of it. Nothing says, ‘This is us’ than making sure your company aesthetic is used whenever possible. It creates a sense of uniformity, recognizability and this in turn, gives your customer the feeling that your brand is trustworthy, established and professional, which means they’re far more likely to invest in your products or services than use someone else.
Branding elements include banners, buttons, icons, graphics for stationary (think business cards, letterheads, stickers, decals), t-shirts and tote bags, informercials, labels, social media posts and more! To tie in with your new logo, I also offer custom branding elements, that fit your aesthetic, corporate colors and help your customers navigate through your material with ease. Sweet!
And, if that wasn’t enough, these elements will reaffirm that your company is approachable, standout and fun to deal with :] All elements are custom designed especially for your needs, to fit your specifications, so please enquire about pricing. As with all illustrations, you’ll be included every step of the way too. Ready to order?
A good logo is always memorable, simple and relevant. But there are a gazillion of them out there, and coming up with something original is hard work. An illustrated logo is an awesome way to stand out from the crowd, let your customer know you’re approachable, give your brand a unique and sweet look, and create a talking point!
Got corporate colors? We’ll include them. Revamping an existing logo into something fresh and new? No problem. Want something out of the box? Got you covered. Or starting from scratch? Your logo is always designed especially for you, with you, every step of the way.
You’ll receive your logo in various formats, with and without text and often additional branding elements to get you started :] Ready to order?
A custom, personalized illustration of you, your significant other, family, kids, fluffy kids or a combination of everyone close to your heart is a great way to mark a special occasion, celebrate someone wonderful, give a memory to cherish forever, or even just bring some joy to a living room or Facebook page.
Family & Pet Portraits are limitation free. You have control of the concept. You can pick a location, a feeling, something magical, full color, full detail, flowers, snow, mountains, whatever your heart desires; and even items, special mementos, your favorite dress, Bruce’s favorite ball etc. Pretty much anything you can imagine.
You’ll receive print ready artwork to use on whatever you like, as many times as you like! Custom sizes are available too :] Ready to order?
