Deveo Studio - Illustration & Animation Reviews 

I had a fantastic experience working with Will and Reka from the Deveo Studio team! From start to finish, the process was smooth, organized, and transparent. Communication was clear, timelines were well managed, and everything was delivered exactly as promised.

Most importantly, I was impressed by the quality of the work, the attention and care that went into every detail, and how open and collaborative the team was throughout the entire process. They welcomed ideas and feedback while also bringing their own creativity and expertise to the project, which made the experience especially enjoyable.

I’m thrilled with the final result and would highly recommend Deveo Studio to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and professional creative team. A wonderful experience from beginning to end!

Will was a fantastic guide through illustrating, editing, and publishing my first book! He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I learned a lot on the way and I'm thrilled with the outcome of my book.

Working with Will and his team has been an incredible experience. They didn’t just illustrate my book, they truly understood my vision and brought it to life with so much heart and creativity. The response to the book has been amazing, and the illustrations have played a major role in that success. I’m so grateful. Thank you, Will.

Will and Deveo were amazing to work with. They understood my project, and followed direction and did everything possible to get thing done in a short timeframe!!! The artwork was also even better than I envisioned. I HIGHLY Recommend Deveo Studio and will use them and recommend them frequently!!!!! GREAT COMPANY !!

I Started working with Deveo Studio's in 2019/2020 to do illustrations for my first book in the Monroe Series. I had Deveo Studio's on my radar for a couple of years, but I didn't think they would work with an independent author. I reached out to them just to see what they had to offer, and they immediately started working with me on creating a cover for my first book. I Have worked with Horace the entire six years and I have been fully satisfied. They always answered any question I put to them and kept me engaged in the total process of creating pictures for story lines that I would send them. The artist would add to my instructions making my illustrations come to life beyond what I could imagine. They have illustrated seven book covers for me and over 35 pictures. I am totally satisfied with the work they do and how they handle their business. Everything was reasonably priced, and I was in constant contact with Horace every step of the way. At one point in the process, I was given a different artist. I was so afraid my series would be ruined. Horace reassured me that everything would be just find. He had the new artist draw me a picture of my Monroe character before I agreed to the project so they could fine tune whatever needed to be done to satisfy me the customer, and everything did work out for me. I absolutely love working with Deveo Studio's They have made my illustrations process easy, manageable and affordable. Thank you to Horace and everyone who worked on my projects.

Will Robertson helped me get my first book out (The Chicken Chalet Capture) and he was absolutely amazing. His knowledge and attention to every detail of what the author is looking for. He then coordinates how to get it to the illustrator and then to the publisher which was a very smooth process. He really understands how the text should be placed on each picture page and he makes sure it’s done the way the author wanted it expressed.
Filip Paul Gabriel is truly an excellent artist. Everyone that has told me they read and enjoyed the book and made a point to mention how beautiful the illustrations are. He is also very patient in making adjustments to meet the authors expectations. Truly a very gifted and talented artist.
I plan on doing another book and I will use both Will Roberson and with Filip Paul Gabriel.

The first time I reached out to them I didn't know anything about getting a book published. They walked me through everything. My first book was not long enough so suggestions were made about how to make it longer. Changing 1 page into a 2 page spread. They had me look at different illustrations to see why "type" of characters I liked best to find me the best fit for look I wanted. Then they had me review everything and let me make the changes I wanted and ever updated the phrases for grammar that I missed. They even told me what platforms my book could be purchased on and set me up the accounts I needed. I ended up using them again along with the same artist a second time.
The artist took my scribbled stick figures and how I wanted the scenes to look and brought them to life in a way I never imagined and it was better than my original ideas. They took the changes from colors to size and even a whole character and did them in a timely manner. If for any reason it was taking a bit longer than expected, they communicate that reason and give you timeframes that are workable.

Will and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They were very transparent on the process and easily available to answer emails and questions. Grateful to have found them to help with my first book. Excited to create many more books with this amazing team!

Will was very responsive when we had our million questions. This was our first time publishing a book and will ensured we knew everything up front, including costs. He always kept us informed, was respectful, and very helpful. He even offered tips on certain items when we were unsure. We will definitely by utilizing them again for our next publications

Had a great experience with this team! My book turned out exactly how I wanted it! Will was amazing to work with and made any changes needed. Thank you!!🙏

Being a new author I was very nervous about the whole process. Deveo was great from beginning to end, and it meant a lot to me to be able to use the same illustrator for books 2 and 3. Will Robertson and his team did an amazing job of putting everything together. The communication through each step was clear, concise and timely, no surprises! I'm looking forward to working with them all again. DD Halley, Ca.

Will presented a clear and streamlined three-stage process, providing detailed guidance and support at every step. His communication was consistently prompt, transparent, and instrumental in keeping the project on track.

Working with Will Robertson and Deveo Studio was an incredible experience from start to finish. They provided the illustrations and book design for me, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their talent, professionalism, and heart.
Will and his team did not just design a book, they transformed my vision into reality. They beautifully captured the heart of my story and brought every detail to life. Thanks to them, creating The Little Dude and His BIG Piano became more than just a project. It was a meaningful journey, and I am already looking forward to the next one.
My story is now alive through the pages, ready for children everywhere to enjoy, dream, and be inspired.
If you are creating a children’s book, look no further. Deveo Studio is simply the best. Thank you!
Highly recommended!

I want to say that Will and Deveo Studio did a great job throughout the entire process, helping me publish my first children's picture book. After receiving my physical copies, I was delighted with the illustrations, vibrant colors, and overall appearance of the book. I shared it with my peer coaches, who are either authors of children's books, teachers of young children, parents, or librarians. They loved the illustrations and said they were vibrant, popped, and kids would love it. Will and Deveo Studio are simultaneously working on my second children's book, and I am eager to see how it turns out, as it will be my first children's chapter book. Kudos to the Team.

Will made the process so seamless and truly helped to guide us to the best results possible- he helped our book become a reality and we’re so grateful! Pleasure to work with and looking forward to working with him on our next book!

Will and Deveo Studio have been phenomenal to work with. They made they entire process very structured and kept me up-to-date from manuscript to print! I would highly recommend them for any future authors.

Deveo Studio has been amazing! Beautiful illustrations and they really listen when we have notes on the design. We have already won awards on our book! We are already working on another book with them! They truly are special artists!

I had the best experience bringing my story to life with Will and Mara Gudina. Since it was a personal narrative, I had a very specific vision of what I wanted for my illustrations. Mara was amazing, working carefully to create what I asked for. Her art work was fantastic and we can see ourselves in her illustrations. She made revisions and the end result is better than I imagined.
Will was such a great communicator, and he helped me through each step of this process. I feel very lucky and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I can’t say enough how wonderful my experience has been with Deveo Studio! From start to finish the team exceeded my expectations. I answered a few simple questions on how I wanted things to look and it’s as if they read my mind because everything was exactly how I imagined. I’m was very impressed with the artwork and their customer service and I’m looking forward to working with them again in the future on my next project.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Will and the talented illustrators at Devious Studies, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Will communicated with me every step of the way, ensuring I was always in the loop and confident in the process. The illustrations they delivered went above and beyond my expectations—truly breathtaking work. Their attention to detail and dedication to bringing my vision to life were outstanding. I highly recommend Devious Studies for anyone looking for exceptional illustrations and a seamless, professional collaboration!
