Prints and gear for your characters

How to choose a format

Start with where the picture will live, then pick the surface. Paper prints suit a frame you already own. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang; a framed print ships with its frame in the same package, and you fit the print. Canvas, metal, wood and acrylic are the surface itself, so there is no frame to sort out. Mugs, bottles and totes carry a smaller image, and one strong subject reads better there than a busy scene. A T-shirt takes a print about 12 x 16 inches on the front, a hoodie about 12 x 12 inches. A digital download is the file alone, for your own printer or framer.

Sizes are listed in inches first, with the A-series or metric size beside them where there is one. The smallest paper size is 8 x 10 in, and the biggest is 27.6 x 39.4 in (70x100 cm). Measure the wall before you pick, and remember that your image sets the limit too: each size is checked against the resolution of your upload, and a size your file can’t carry sharply stays listed but can’t be chosen.

You can start two ways. Print your artwork as it is, and the file is trimmed to the product's shape and nothing is generated. Or send a photo of a painted miniature to the scene studio, which changes the surroundings and gives you free watermarked previews to approve first.

Matching the product to your figure

The backdrop you photographed the model on decides a lot. A figure shot on white card sits cleanly on the white T-shirt, the mug and the water bottle, because the card melts into the white surface. Shot on black card, it suits the black hoodie, the black tote, a black frame or a metal print.

The pose matters too. Tall, upright models fill the bottle’s front panel and the T-shirt’s tall print area. Busts and compact poses fill a mug or the hoodie’s square print. Wide line-ups and figures in a scene need a wall: canvas runs to 23.6 x 31.5 in (60x80 cm) and paper to 27.6 x 39.4 in (70x100 cm).

Then think about the finish. Paper is matte. Acrylic is glossy, so a gloss-varnished figure shows more shine there. On wood, the grain comes through every pale area, the highlights on the model included. Each product page has its own notes on photographing and cropping for that surface.

Common questions

What is the price on each card?

It is the starting price for that product, meaning its lowest-priced size when you print your artwork as it is. The product page lists every size, and the scene route has its own prices. Everything is in US dollars.

Is shipping included?

No. Shipping is priced when you check out, for the address you enter. A digital download has no shipping, since the file arrives by email.

Which route should I use for a painted miniature?

Print it as it is if the photo already looks the way you want. Choose the scene route if you would like a new setting behind the figure. Either way the crop and price are on screen before payment, and a scene is only printed after you approve the exact preview.
