Before / after

Not a generic character with your name on it.

We draw your features from your photos: face shape, hair, glasses, beard. A phone photo is enough. Here are sample photos, and their panel.

How it works

Four steps. Five minutes of your time. One comic.

  1. You tell your story

    A memory, a meeting, a whole year. A few lines are enough, we guide you on every screen.

    Prompts help if the blank page scares you.

  2. You add your photos

    One sharp photo per person, face clearly visible. We draw your features into every panel.

    A front-facing, well-lit photo gives the best result.

  3. You see the preview, for free

    The cover and the first pages within 24 hours. You only pay if you like it.

    Not convinced? We start again together, at no cost.

  4. Your comic arrives

    The PDF follows within 48 hours. The printed copy ships after your approval.

    Refunded until the comic goes to print.

No nasty surprises

You pay after the preview. You approve before printing.

Refunded until the comic goes to print

Your comic is made only for you: the law excludes the 14-day right of withdrawal for personalised goods (art. VI.53, 3° of the Belgian Code of Economic Law). We go further: until your comic has gone to print, you can cancel and get a full refund, no questions asked.

You receive an e-mail, “Your comic is going to print”, which closes that window, usually 48 hours after your approval. A damaged or non-conforming book is reprinted at our expense.

All the questions →

Does the comic really look like us?

Yes. We draw your features from your photos: face shape, hair, eye colour, glasses, beard. It is not a generic character with your first name on it, and you check it on the free preview before paying.

Is it drawn by hand or by an AI?

By an AI, and we say so plainly. The illustrations are generated by artificial intelligence from your photos and your story, then proofread, corrected and laid out by us before printing. That is what makes a fully bespoke comic possible at €59.90 instead of several hundred euros.

How many photos do you need, and which ones?

One to three photos per person. Ideally a front-facing portrait, well lit, face uncovered and sharp, no sunglasses, no filter. One photo per character beats a blurry group shot.

What happens to my photos?

They are used only to create your comic, hosted on European servers, never passed on to third parties and never used to train an AI model. They are deleted automatically 30 days after delivery, or immediately if you ask.

Can I see the result before paying?

Yes. You get the cover and the first pages for free within 24 hours, without an account and without a card.
