CUSTOM ART MADE TO SUIT YOUR STYLE
Welcome to Subtle Touch Creations!
Whether you need a book cover, character art, maps, formatting, or a new website, you have come to the right place! Check out my individual services for more information.
I create custom book covers to specifications, both through photo-manipulation and illustration. I also make premades, which can be bought at a cheaper price. The currently available premades are at the bottom of the page.
I make character art to specifications, one or several characters in a painted style. I also create NSFW character art.
I create fantasy maps using Inkarnate and/or Wonderdraft, and then edit them as needed in Photoshop.
I create logos and symbols for author names and to use for book interiors.
I format books using Vellum. This includes to ability to create a stunning interior with full-page art and/or gorgeous chapter headers.
I design websites for authors and businesses, using providers such as Wix, One, etc. In addition to creating the individual pages, I can also assist in designing all elements, for example logos and banners.
Typography, mockups, additional format for existing covers - I'm here for you! I'll help you get those touches done, so you're ready for your release date!
Just ask! Send me an email with what you'd like done for YOUR book, game, or anything else, and I'll see what I can do for you!
I use various techniques to create my digital art. The chosen techniques depend on the project and include digital painting, overpainting, and photo manipulation. I usually start with a mockup I send my client to accept before proceeding with the image. From there, we will keep in close contact as I finalise the art.
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.
“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!"

“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."
