This project involves creating beautiful line art drawings that have minimal coloring. I have attached 2 samples of the style I am looking for. The tricky part of this project is that I already have many of the line drawings, but they look too cartoonish. I need a talented illustrator that can make the characters look more mature, but add just a little bit of shading to make the images more interesting.
The first 2 attachments are examples of the style I am looking for. The third attachment, which is just a line drawing, is the first illustration I need done.
I have a total of approximately 20 illustrations, but have a limited budget (of course, sorry). All I can say is that if my book ever makes any money, I will send a huge bonus to the illustrator.
Please only attach samples of your work that are similar to the style I need and tell me your fee for this first illustration. The illustrations need to be given to me in a high-resoultion jpeg file.

I am currently in search of skilled animators who can produce outstanding 2D or 3D animations at affordable rates. Please note, I’m specifically looking for high-quality work without the high price tag—if your rates are on the higher end, I kindly ask that you refrain from contacting me, as I am not looking for price justifications or promises that the quality will justify the cost. I’ve heard it all before, and I’m not interested in inflated prices.

That being said, I’m offering permanent credit in my videos, with your name and information prominently displayed across my social media platforms as a highly recommended animator. I have multiple projects to discuss, but first and foremost, I need to review samples of your work. It’s crucial that you can demonstrate your ability to handle these projects with care and attention to detail. For example, character animations must be smooth and natural, with proper walking cycles and accurate perspectives—such as buildings and trees appearing larger than a character when they pass by.

Please note: Due to prior experiences with dishonest or unreliable animators, I am extremely cautious about who I work with. I’ve been misled too many times, and I am wary of promises that are not kept. To give you an idea of my past experiences: I once asked an animator to show my character walking to a house, only to receive a floating character with legs moving unnaturally, alongside a dog that was never part of the script. On another occasion, I hired an animator for a 3D character design of an old man in cartoonish style and fully clothed, but was given a completely different version—an realistic, naked character instead. These are just a couple of examples of why I’m now seeking a trustworthy professional who can deliver exactly what they promise.

If you are confident in your abilities and can offer affordable, high-quality animation, please feel free to reach out with your portfolio or samples and your price quote. I’m eager to discuss potential collaborations with a reliable animator who can deliver consistent, professional work.

Thank you for your time,

Cory

This project involves creating beautiful line art drawings. I have attached 2 samples of the style I am looking for. Please note that the characters look realistic and the lines are not a single width, they are thicker in the middle and then thin out towards the end.

I already have many of the line drawings, but they look too cartoonish. I need a talented illustrator that can make the characters look more mature, but add just a little bit of black and white shading to make the images more interesting.

The first 2 attachments are examples of the style I am looking for. The third attachment, which is just a line drawing, is the first illustration I need done.

I have a total of approximately 20 illustrations, but have a limited budget (of course, sorry). So, my pay for these cannot be high right now, but if my book ever makes any money, I will send a huge bonus to the illustrator.

Please only attach samples of your work that are similar to the style I need and tell me your fee for this first illustration. The illustrations need to be given to me in a high-resolution jpeg file.

I posted this ad before. Unfortunately, many people applied but they did not follow the instructions here. Some just colored the cartoonish sample that I provided and that was it. Others just sent me a link to their portfolio, which had nothing similar to the first two samples of what I am looking for. So, I am trying again. I understand that it is very difficult for artists to get work these days, but I cannot hire someone that ignores these instructions.

Hi

I need three characters developed for an educational resource manual.

One is a slightly chubby teacher with curly hair, the other two are fictional characters, Noodle (intellectual, logical and practical) and Doodle (curious, creative and playful).

I need them to have an array of different emotions and movements in order to place the characters on different pages and worksheets throughout the manual.

I'd like the use of only black outlines, with bright primary and secondary colours, as well as pink.

I'd also like you to create a book cover page and back page for me featuring Noodle and Doodle on the front and Miss Jessica on the back.

JOB DESCRIPTION:
Hi! I’m looking for a talented illustrator to collaborate on a paid test page for an upcoming adult coloring book. This is a relaxed, cozy, whimsical project with a soft and dreamy tone — think magical objects, yummy food, sweet animals, and gentle fantasy.

If the test goes well, there’s strong potential for long-term collaboration. I’m planning to publish one book per month for the next 6 months at least, and I’d love to find someone I can grow with creatively.

ABOUT THE WORK:
-One (1) black-and-white line art page, based on a clear scene prompt
-Must be clean, colorable linework only (no shading or grayscale)
-Style: gentle, magical, cozy — I’ll send references and a written brief
-Each illustration should start with a sketch/draft before moving to final
-I'm open to AI-assisted workflows, but only with full transparency. I value honesty and creativity above all.

FOR WHO?
-You love drawing dreamy, gentle, or emotionally soft scenes
-You’re comfortable with diverse characters, cozy details, and whimsical animals
-You’re reliable, open to feedback, and easy to communicate with
-You enjoy collaborating on something meaningful and visually magical
-Bonus if you’re looking for an ongoing creative partnership

BUDGET:
-I prefer to work hourly for now, so we stay flexible and fair (and learn to work together)
-Please include your hourly rate
-Also estimate how long you think a single coloring page might take

TO APPLY
Please include:
-Your portfolio (especially any black-and-white line art or coloring book-style work)
-A few sentences about your process (do you sketch first? Use digital/AI tools?)
-Any questions you have for me

To confirm you’ve read everything, please start your message with the word “Dolphin” 🐬

The prompt for the test page will be shared with selected candidates.
Thanks so much — I’m excited to find the right artist to build something beautiful with!

We’re working on a new site, a platform for digital board games — and we’re looking for a talented artist to help us bring the vibe to life.

The current hero image (a crystal-like formation) is an AI placeholder — and it doesn’t align with what we’re envisioning. We’re specifically avoiding AI-generated assets and looking for something handcrafted and more cohesive with our style.

The vibe:
We’re aiming for a Raygun Gothic aesthetic — retro-futuristic, imaginative, playful. Think: vintage sci-fi paperbacks, stylized mid-century space exploration, and analog wonder. It’s less about “epic galactic conquest” and more about curious explorers hopping across star systems in search of games, fun, and weird joy.

Here’s a Pinterest board to give you a better idea of what we’re going for:
https://ca.pinterest.com/gb1138/merchants-of-play-website-inspo

Would you be interested in creating a custom illustration for our hero section? Ideally one image in that visual language. If so, could you share your rates, availability, and any questions you have? When would you be able to complete it by?

Hello Jesus. I am in need of a cover design. I am ready to go with my book so I would like to have the cover fairly soon. I would rather work with a flat fee rather than hourly. I have a mock up done that I like but the coach wants a few things changed. 1. She does not like the fonts, Perhaps Montserrat or Water's Titling? The word Murder could be different. 2. She wants the top to be the same color and the white line dividing the colors gone. 3. She wants the title and subtitle to be on the top third of the page. Not so close together. 4. She wants it to be brighter-like daytime and the streetlight gone. The sign also or smaller. She feels it is distracting.

I will attach a picture of what I had in mind. Also the original before I added text and a file of some of the book covers I want mine to be similar to.

Do you think you could work with this? If you are interested would you get back to me soon with your expected fee and a couple of examples of your work?

Also if I decide to print this as a paperback would you be willing to add the spine and back copy at a later time? Do you have any idea what that charge would be?

I'm looking for a 2D, front-facing illustration of a Funko Pop character based on a provided photo. The character should be designed in a 'Realistic with Funko elements' style, which means it should have a balance of realistic features and classic Funko characteristics.

Key Details:
- Style: The character should be drawn in a 'Realistic with Funko elements' style. This means the character should have a mix of realistic features along with the distinctive, oversized head and small body typical of Funko Pop figures.
- Level of Detail: The illustration should be 'moderately detailed'. This means it should have some textures and finer details, but not to the extent of being 'highly detailed with textures'.
- Background: The character should be set against a 'plain color' background.

Ideal skills and experience for this job include:
- Proficiency in 2D character design and illustration.
- Experience in creating designs in the Funko Pop style.
- Ability to work from reference photos and translate them into a different style.
- Understanding of 'moderately detailed' versus 'highly detailed' illustrations.
- Ability to create simple, clean backgrounds that don't detract from the main character.

I am looking for a designer/artist to draw clothes and add realistic colors to them for 3 different girls in new poses. I have attached images (Girl 1.PNG, Girl 2.PNG & Girl 3.PNG) where I have already provided the outfits for each girl. However, the clothes are currently shown in different positions. Now, I need the same outfits drawn on the girls in their new poses.
I have already designed the clothes in a different position, and now I need them drawn to fit the new poses.
The clothes should be accurately placed and match the original design.


What I Will Provide:
PSD file – This contains the already drawn & colored clothes to be used as a reference for colors and shading.
Illustrator (.AI) file – This has the line drawing of the girls without clothes, so you only need to draw the outfits on them. (Don't change the pose of the girl)


References:
The attached reference images show the 3D effect, shading style, fabric details, and textures required.
The final output should look smooth, professional, and highly realistic. (Reference 1 & Reference 2.jpg)


Final Output Required:
PSD (Photoshop file) with all layers organized for future editing.
JPG (High resolution) for immediate use.


Important Notes:
Strictly NO AI – The clothes must be drawn and colored manually.
Proper layer organization in PSD is mandatory so I can adjust in the future.


Budget & Timeline:
$40 per girl (Total: $120)
Deadline: By Saturday, end of the day

Illustration Brief for Children’s Book Series Level-1 (Ages 3-4)

Background

We are a family-run business dedicated to early childhood education. The educational vision is spearheaded by Jumana Al Qabbani, a well-known teacher specializing in this age group. She has authored 12 children’s school books that are taught in many schools and sold in major bookstores.

Beyond books, our business is expanding into digital learning, with a state-of-the-art educational app currently in development. This app will complement our books by offering interactive experiences that enhance children’s learning and development.

Project Overview:

We are developing a series of children’s stories where Level-1 is for ages 3-4, and level-2 is aimed to continue for children ages 5-7.

This project is for Level-1 (3-4 years old), which is made up of 6 books. The books will be interactive, encouraging parent-child engagement through activities integrated into the story.

Illustration & Production Style:

The books will incorporate interactive elements, such as:

Textured surfaces (e.g., soft fur, rough tree bark, smooth water)
Lift-the-flap windows for surprises or learning moments
Pull tabs or sliders to reveal hidden details
Pop-ups or layered pages to enhance engagement.

We are looking for the following in the illustration style that suit this age group and align with the interactive nature of the book. The style should be:

Simple, expressive, and engaging
Bright and warm color palettes to hold attention
Soft, rounded shapes to create a friendly and safe visual environment

Number of characters:
1. 6-7 human main characters
2. 4-5 human secondary characters
3. 10 Basic animals (chickens, cats, dogs, etc)

Each of the 6 stories of this level (3-4 years old) will have 12 pages.

Estimated Budget: $1,500 but it’s a competitive bidding process so we are evaluating multiple artists’ proposals and sample work.

Your proposal should contain:

Pages 2 and 4 of the below sample story.

Share the pages with two different styles of illustration.

Also share your lump sum price for the Project in total (Level-1).

Here is a sample story:

A Day at the Zoo - Language Development

(Family at Home) p. 1

Sarah woke up excited because today she and her family would be going to the zoo for the first time.

p. 2
What animal would you like, Sarah?

The sheep, Dad

(In the garden) p. 3

(Where is the sheep?) said Sarah

Here is the birds section, do you know the names of the birds here? (said the mother)

This is the hen

p. 4
And this is the duck

Well done, Sarah!

*Exercise*

-Have a child name any simple objects in the room-

_

The “exercise” section is very important to us and we are interested to know your creative solutions to integrating exercises in the books. As mentioned above, they could be in a pull-out a hidden section for example.
