Beyond the art: support for board game publishers and creators

From the first playtest to editions in other languages, one studio that knows your game inside out.

International Representation

We present your game to selected publishers in other markets as a non-exclusive agent. Each license is signed directly between you and the publisher, and there is no upfront fee. When a deal closes, we can also produce the localized edition.

International Editions

Translation, localization and full production of your game for a new market: rules, cards, box and print files, adapted for each language. One team from your source files to the printer.

Playtesting

Structured sessions with our in-house group, followed by a written report on rules clarity, pacing, balance and player experience. Useful before a campaign, a pitch to publishers or a final print run.

Rules Development

We review and rewrite your rulebook so new players can learn the game without you at the table: structure, wording, examples, iconography and consistency across components.

Campaign Visual Kit

Everything your Kickstarter or Gamefound page needs to look finished: page graphics, reward tiers, stretch goals, add-ons and ad creatives in the formats ad platforms ask for. Fixed price, agreed up front.

Trailer & Motion

Animated key art and campaign trailers built from your game's illustrations, ready for your campaign page, social media and ads.

All our artwork is made by people. No generative AI, in any of our services.

The Studio

Built for the craft

Velum Studio is the creative practice of Fabian Parente, a professional fantasy illustrator with over a decade working with the publishers who define the genre.

What began as a freelance practice serving the industry's major names has evolved into a full-service studio for publishers who understand that exceptional art isn't an expense. It's the product.

We don't decorate games.
We build the worlds they're set in.
