Frequently asked questions
What does the Illuminated manuscript style look like?
Medieval painting on vellum with gold-leaf highlights and curling vine margins.
Can I use Illuminated manuscript for a black-and-white interior?
Illuminated manuscript is a color-first look. For a black-and-white interior, pick one of the line-art styles instead, or keep this style for the cover and color pages.
How do I keep characters consistent across pages?
Describe your main characters once when you plan the book. kdpbook.us reuses that description on every illustration prompt so the same character appears throughout, in the Illuminated manuscript style.
