Colorful Style Projects on Upwork with Vollna

We’re looking for an illustrator to prepare up to 30 storyboard frames/shots for a children’s animated story.

This does not mean creating 30 completely new scenes from scratch. The same characters appear throughout the story, and several backgrounds are reused. Many frames are adaptations of existing artwork: different poses, expressions, close-ups, camera framing, or arrangements of the same elements. Some shots require new, simple backgrounds.

The characters are already designed and will be provided, together with existing artwork, style references, and a detailed shot list.

The illustrations will be handed over to an animator, so all artwork must be created using editable vector Shape Layers in Photoshop, with elements separated for cut-out animation.

Required delivery: 6 organized, fully editable PSD files — one per scene, containing the relevant shots.

Each PSD must include:

Clearly named folders/groups for each shot.

Clearly named and organized vector Shape Layers.

Separate backgrounds, characters, body parts, facial elements, and props as needed for animation.

Completed artwork behind overlapping parts so movement does not reveal gaps.

PNG previews of each shot for approval.

Layered PSD source files are mandatory. Flattened images or raster artwork placed inside a PSD will not be accepted.

Animation is handled separately.

Fixed budget: $120 for the complete project — up to 30 frames/shots, including adaptations and reused elements, delivered in 6 organized PSD files.

Please review the attached style references and send examples of your work in a similar illustration style. Also include your estimated turnaround and confirm that you can deliver editable Photoshop vector Shape Layers organized for animation.

I’m putting together a lively school reunion and need a bright, playful invitation designed as a single digital image for online sharing. The graphic must prominently feature the date, time, location, our school name, and graduating class, all wrapped in a fun-and-colorful style that instantly grabs attention on social feeds or group chats.

Please build the artwork in a standard social-media friendly size (for example 1080 × 1350 px or similar), delivered in high-resolution JPEG or PNG along with the editable source file from Illustrator, Photoshop, or Canva—whatever you prefer, as long as text remains fully editable for last-minute tweaks.

Once the layout, color palette, and typography feel right, I’ll drop in the final event specifics. At hand-off I expect:
• Ready-to-post image, optimised for web
• Editable design file

If you have a knack for bold colours and playful compositions, I’d love to see past samples that show your flair.

Skills: Graphic Design, Photoshop, Digital Art, Canva

Long-term illustrator needed for ongoing children's book series. We’re looking for a watercolor illustrator to create 8 full-page illustrations and cover for each children’s book. We have multiple ongoing series and produce 10+ books per month and are looking for illustrators for long-term ongoing collaborations. For each artist who works with us for ongoing collaborations, we can guarantee 10+ books per artist. We need someone who can bring a painterly sophisticated memorable style to the artwork. Please share relevant samples of children’s book illustrations or similar work, and include your availability and estimated timeline for completing the project.

Looking for an illustrator to create child-friendly mental health and social-emotional learning artwork for elementary school counseling resources. Projects may include coloring pages, pamphlet illustrations, stickers, and educational handouts. Style should be warm, inclusive, engaging, and appropriate for ages 5-11 and 12-18. Experience with educational or children's materials preferred.

Hi! I’d love to ask for your help with this challenging, but quite nice idea for the illustration (please not AI generated).

Please let me know your price for the whole project and timing.


Idea: We are sending clients (and maybe partners) a holiday postcard (by regular post) with a Wimmbelbuch/Seek-and-Find/Where's Wally illustration. Five people wearing T-shirts with our logo are hidden in the scene. The recipient finds and counts them, then emails us the answer. Those who answer correctly receive a discount. The illustration needs to be engaging enough that people want to study it.

Vibe: A winter holiday mood: snow, lights, fir trees, warm windows, cosiness. Keep it festive and inclusive for people of all backgrounds. Avoid any religion-specific symbols or wording, including “Christmas” or “Merry Christmas.” The holiday should feel winter-wide and shared.

Text: None on the front side. No words, numbers, or dates.
Xometry logo: A small logo on a façade, sign, truck, or building plaque. It should look like part of the scene, not an advertisement.

Format: A6, 148 × 105 mm, landscape. 3 mm bleed, 300 dpi, CMYK.

People in the scene. All characters should look different from one another: a range of ages, body types, skin tones, hairstyles, clothing, and abilities (for example, a person in a wheelchair or using a cane, where it fits naturally). Diversity should feel natural, without stereotypes or emphasis on difference. The five people in Xometry T-shirts should also look different from each other.

The five T-shirt with logo characters:

Exactly five people wear Xometry T-shirts.

Each is doing something different: pulling a cart, holding a fir tree, fixing a garland, taking a photo, carrying a box.

They are spread across different areas of the scene and partly hidden behind other objects, but can be found with careful looking.

Scene and situations. A winter manufacturing town: a workshop with CNC machines and 3D printers, a warehouse, a street with fir trees and lights, a market, an ice rink, a café, a train station. Many small stories: someone building a snowman from machine parts, someone walking a dog past a machine, someone pulling a part on a sled, etc

“Easter eggs” from our everyday work: would be great if there are scenes clients recognise from working with us, for example:

A packing station where a parcel is being sealed with our branded tape.

An office scene that feels like a Xometry workspace.

Order calculation on the computer with our Xom interface.

A partner sitting at home and choosing an order from the Job Board.

Boxes and parts being prepared for shipping, with the logo on the packaging.

Small details that only regular partners or staff would notice.


These should be subtle and fun to discover, not a second set of characters to count.

Colours: The main palette is warm and festive. Flat fills, no gradients.

I have attached some pictures of the style which I mean

Slime pack design. It needs to be a design for a 4 x 6 quick seal envelope. I need to print the design on it. I want it to be simple so I was looking into the Gucci monogram, but with my logo or the wording slime pack I will add a sample of what I’m looking for and my first version . I want this to be Slime Pack V2 so I’d like you to change the logo of the “slime pack” but like I said it has to have V2 in it in some shape or form.

I'm completing a 36-page illustrated children's picture book. The illustrations already exist, and I need an experienced digital artist to make precise corrections while preserving the original artwork.

The work includes simplifying backgrounds, adjusting facial expressions and character details, maintaining consistency across spreads, and integrating approved text directly into the illustrations.

Important: I do not want the artwork regenerated or redesigned. Preserving the existing composition, character appearances, and illustration style is essential.

Experience with Adobe Photoshop, children's book illustration, typography, and print-ready book production is preferred.

I am not looking for someone to illustrate a new children's book. I already have the illustrations. I need a technically skilled artist who can make surgical changes without disturbing what I have already approved.

Specifically, I want someone who can:
- Remove unwanted objects and simplify backgrounds while preserving the original composition.
- Correct facial expressions, hair colors, and character proportions.
- Replace and position text directly within illustrations, without white bubbles.
- Keep all 18 spreads consistent and prepare them for printing.

We are a custom-gifting brand producing personalized gift boxes. We are hiring a graphic designer to create high-converting, visually striking front-lid box designs for our upcoming holiday, milestone, anniversary, and men’s gift collections.

You do not need to handle structural dielines, bleed folds, or technical print-prep templates. Your sole responsibility is designing the surface visual concepts (backgrounds, graphic elements, typographic layouts, and color palettes) that look stunning in digital catalog thumbnails and deliver a high-end unboxing experience.

Key Responsibilities Front-Lid Visual Design: Develop premium 1:1 square/rectangular top-lid graphics (300dpi) across four primary design themes:
Masculine & Groomsman /Holiday & Christmas /Anniversaries & Milestones.
Typographic Hierarchy & Layout: Combine fonts (luxury serifs, bold modern sans-serifs, and clean accent scripts) with clear, balanced text zones for dynamic names, dates, and personalized messages (e.g., "To Marc", "Will You Be My Groomsman?").
Source & File Handover: Deliver organized Adobe Photoshop (.psd) source files with editable text layers, along with high-resolution flattened renders (.png/.jpg)

Ability to create clean, eye-catching visual concepts that drive high click-through rates on e-commerce storefronts (Shopify / Etsy).

The pay is 50$ per design

We’re looking for a talented illustrator to create engaging visuals for a children’s book titled “Lily and Her Elephant Friend.” The story follows a young girl and her elephant companion as they explore the world together. We need someone who can bring the characters and scenes to life with a warm, imaginative style that appeals to young readers. The project includes creating illustrations for key story moments, developing expressive characters, and delivering polished artwork that supports the story’s tone and message.

Hi there,

We created this in chatgpt but we need to turn it into an Adobe Illustrator file for our clothing manufacturer. Can you help and what do you think the total cost would be?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a draft book and need a book front and back cover as well as formatting book in a graphically appealing way.

Already Sharedthe Description with the freelancer

Seeking an illustrator to create 13 original penguin illustrations (12 months plus a front cover) for a 2027 wall calendar. Each illustration will fill the top half of a landscape 11 × 8.5 in calendar page, with the date grid below. (We will send a sample calendar layout to the illustrator).

The series features 19 penguin species, some shown alone and some in small groups, and each must be drawn with accurate colors and markings. I’m looking for humor and personality kids will love, without being babyish or cherub-like, in a watercolor (not pastel) style consistent across all pages. All artwork must be original and created by hand, with no AI-generated or AI-assisted imagery.

Final files must be print-ready at 300 DPI, delivered as PNG and CMYK PDF, plus transparent-background cutouts of each penguin. Upon payment, the buyer will own 100% of all rights to the artwork for any use, with no royalties.

The budget is a firm maximum of $375 for the complete set, and we will prioritize highly competitive bids from artists with proven skills in their portfolios. Great work on this project may lead to a yearly calendar series and other future projects. Sketches are due November 2 and all final files by November 15, 2026.

Please include samples of your watercolor animal work, your price for the full set, and confirmation that you can meet these dates. We will send a detailed brief with species profiles, reference photos, and full specifications to interested artists.

We're looking for an illustrator to take our card game artwork from draft to finished. We have draft cards and a draft logo already, we just want them to look more fun, colourful and playful.

About the game: Company Chaos is a game where you race your rivals to build a company. Lie, steal and cheat your way to the top. Will you build a clean company or a dirty one? Will you survive the lawyers at the audit? Everyone cheats, it's just good business.

The job is to redraw 16 card icons in a fun, hand-drawn style, and to turn our logo into a set of 3 versions: a main stacked logo, a single-line version, and an icon/badge mark. The icons are existing designs being restyled, not invented from scratch, we'll share the full list and reference files on hire.

To apply: we'd love to see your take on our style, so we'll pay you to design one sample card. Please include your price for the sample and for the full job.

Requirements: final artwork delivered as editable vector files (.ai/.eps/.svg), full commercial rights to us, and real illustration, no AI-generated art.

We have attached our draft cards and logo so you can see the style we're interested in.

A note on the attachments: the two finished cards (Staff and Lawyer) are our current drafts, they show the icons you'd be restyling and how a card is laid out. They're a bit corporate and restrained right now, and that's what we want to move away from. Please make the new version more fun, colourful and playful than these, closer to the energy of our logo (see the logo plan page). The logo plan shows the look we love and the three logo versions we need: a badge, a stacked version, and a single-line version.

I’m seeking an artist to collaborate on a collection of 12 illustrated Bible story postcards for my faith-based brand, Among the Lilies Letter Co. Each month will feature a different Bible story, and I’m looking for original artwork in a soft, vintage watercolor style with botanical details, muted colors, and a whimsical, storybook feel. I’d love to build a long-term relationship with someone who can contribute creatively and work with me throughout the year. I’ll provide a reference image to guide the overall aesthetic, but I’m open to your creative input. I’d also like to promote the artist’s work across my social media and give credit and visibility as we share the collection.

About the Brand

We're launching YUCK FOU, a new independent streetwear brand built around edgy humor, sarcasm, clever wordplay, and a slightly inappropriate attitude.

The name is a playful twist on "Fuck You," which should give you an idea of the personality we're building.

We're looking for a designer to develop:

3 original T-shirt designs

1 initial YUCK FOU wordmark/logo concept

Front and back graphic placements where appropriate

Print-ready artwork for Shopify and print-on-demand fulfillment

Editable vector files and high-resolution transparent PNGs

Initial Creative Concepts

YUCK FOU: Our signature brand design. Bold, clean, distinctive typography.

DUCK FAT: A funny graphic built around the phrase sounding like "Fuck That." We're open to creative interpretations involving original duck illustrations.

Third Design: We want the designer to pitch something original, unexpected, and genuinely funny that fits the brand.

What We're Looking For

Strong portfolio of original streetwear or apparel graphics

Excellent typography and illustration skills

Understanding of vintage, skate, punk, and underground fashion aesthetics

Ability to create clever designs without relying on generic slogans

Experience creating production-ready apparel artwork

No generative AI artwork, stock templates, copied designs, or unlicensed graphics

Three examples of original apparel designs you've created.

Your proposed price for the complete project.

Your estimated turnaround time.

A brief explanation of your creative process.

Confirmation that your artwork will be original and human-designed.

We're looking to hire immediately and ideally establish an ongoing relationship as the brand grows.

We're interested in quality and originality, not quantity.

I’m ready to give our current WIX site a fresh, colorful and vibrant face-lift while tightening its connection to our Roller POS 4 system. The job begins with a full visual overhaul, updated copy, and cleaner navigation so visitors reach the checkout screen faster and with fewer clicks. From there, I need the site maintained month-to-month—new promos added, seasonal images swapped, security patches applied, and performance checked.

On the POS side, your mission is to connect Roller POS 4 seamlessly to WIX. Once the two platforms talk to each other, I want automated daily sales reports sent to my inbox and inventory levels updated in real-time, eliminating manual spreadsheet work. Experience with Roller’s API, Velo by Wix, and webhooks will be essential.

Deliverables
• Complete WIX redesign matching a bold, colorful style
• Content refresh and intuitive menu structure
• Stable Roller POS 4 integration (products, pricing, customer data)
• Automated sales-report emails and live inventory syncing
• Ongoing maintenance package with agreed response times

I’ll provide brand assets, current site credentials, and POS API keys. Show me similar WIX projects you’ve handled, especially ones involving third-party integrations, and outline the tools or code you’ll use so I can see how you plan to keep everything running smoothly.

Skills: PHP, Website Design, Graphic Design, Electronic Forms, Inventory Management, HTML, Wix, Web Development, API, Point of Sale

I have a children’s Christian book written and edited. I’m not ready to start illustrating the book but I want to come up with character designs. There are five animal characters. I’m leaning more towards water or oil coloring (open to other styles as well) while still giving expressive faces to each character. Not too realistic. Also, I’m looking for someone who can create beautiful backgrounds, specifically of autumn season.

If I am satisfied, this could lead to a separate contract where we illustrate the entire book. Since this will require a lot of communication, I prefer someone fluent in English.

Absolutely no AI involved in the illustration!

Job Title: Illustrator & Graphic Designer for Inspirational 2027 Calendar, Original Artwork Only, No AI

I am seeking a talented illustrator and graphic designer to create a beautiful, professionally designed 2027 calendar inspired by Silenced to Soaring.

Each month will celebrate a woman who has passed away and whose life reflects this theme. These women faced abuse and extraordinary adversity, yet found ways to reclaim their voices, pursue their purpose, and leave lasting legacies.

The calendar should honor their humanity, courage, and accomplishments through compelling original portraits and thoughtfully presented stories.

Creative Direction

Each month must feature:

A large, prominent, original illustrated portrait of the featured woman.

Her name and a readable account of her life and journey.

An accurate 2027 calendar grid with dates, days of the week, and agreed holidays.

A cohesive design that feels elegant, inspiring, and suitable for gifting. The color scheme should match that of the Silenced to Soaring book.

The portraits are the centerpiece. They must have substantial visual impact, while allowing sufficient space for the stories and functional calendar grids.

An attached draft identifies the featured women and provides date references. It is not a layout or style reference. The portraits in that draft are too small. Please use it only for the women’s names and date information, and independently verify the accuracy of all 2027 dates.

Scope and Deliverables

Develop the overall visual concept, typography, color palette, and layout.

Create 12 original illustrated portraits, one for each featured woman.

Design the cover and all monthly layouts.

Incorporate approved biographical text, with final text responsibilities confirmed before work begins.

Prepare final print files that meet Gelato’s requirements for the selected calendar size, format, and binding.

Deliver editable source files, high resolution artwork, and the final print-ready PDF.

Address any file preparation issues identified during upload or review of the printed proof.

Original Artwork Requirement

All portraits must be created by the illustrator. AI-generated artwork, AI-assisted image generation, stock illustrations, and automated photo filters are not permitted. Traditional and digital illustration are welcome.

Please be prepared to share preliminary sketches and work in progress showing your creative process. Any reference materials or third-party assets must be appropriate for commercial use.

Printing Requirements

The calendar will be printed through Gelato:
https://www.gelato.com/custom/calendars

Please review Gelato’s current calendar design guidance:
https://support.gelato.com/en/articles/8996274-how-do-i-create-my-design-for-a-wall-calendar

The selected freelancer must confirm the exact product template before designing and follow its requirements for resolution, bleed, safe areas, binding clearance, page count, and page order.

Ideal Qualifications

A strong portfolio of expressive, recognizable portraits of real people.

Excellent typography and editorial layout skills.

Experience preparing calendars, illustrated books, or similar products for professional printing.

Sensitivity when presenting stories involving abuse and resilience.

Strong attention to detail, clear communication, and reliable delivery.

Experience with Gelato is a plus.

Please Include in Your Application

Three to five relevant examples, including original portraits and print layout work.

A brief description of the illustration style you recommend.

Confirmation that you will create the artwork without generative AI.

Your proposed total fee, timeline, milestones, and included revision rounds.

The software you use and editable file formats you will deliver.

Whether your proposal covers both illustration and graphic design, and whether anyone else would contribute.

We will approve the visual direction and one complete illustrated month before proceeding with the remaining months. Please include this first milestone in your proposal.

Final original artwork and designs must be available for my commercial use, with ownership transferred upon full payment. Please disclose any separately licensed fonts or assets.

I look forward to working with someone who can bring these women’s stories to life with artistry, dignity, and emotional impact.

I’m looking for an artist to help bring my debut novel, Liquerious, to life through a collection of original illustrations.

Liquerious is a contemporary Australian novel exploring love, loss, curiosity and personal reinvention, with cocktails woven throughout the story. I’m hoping to find an artist who can capture the warmth, emotion and little moments of magic that make the story special.

The project

I’m looking for approximately 26 illustrations in a watercolour style, ideally with soft, fading edges. I’ve attached a few AI-generated reference images to help convey the general aesthetic I have in mind, but I’m very open to your creative interpretation and ideas.

The illustrations would be reproduced in the printed book, so I’m imagining artwork around A5 size that can be scanned at high resolution for print. I’d love to work with someone who enjoys storytelling through art and can bring their own artistic flair to the project.

The timeline

The book is currently in production, with publication preparation expected to take around 6–8 weeks. Ideally, the illustrations would be completed within this timeframe, although there may be some flexibility for the right artist.

I’d love to receive a quote for the project. Please include your estimated fee, availability, and any relevant details about your process.

The selected artist will be credited as the illustrator in the book, and I’d also be happy to promote your work across my social media channels if you’re interested.

I’m excited about the possibility of collaborating with an artist to create something beautiful for Liquerious, and I look forward to seeing your work and hearing your ideas!

**Children's Book Character Design & Cover Illustration – Grandma Bahamas Series**

I am an independent children's book author seeking a talented illustrator for the third book in my children's series, *Grandma Bahamas and Carmen's Tiny Pineapple*.

The story takes place in the Bahamas and follows Grandma Bahamas, Chatoen, and his younger cousin Carmen as they discover a tiny pineapple growing in Grandma's garden. Their adventure introduces children to Bahamian culture, agriculture, family traditions, and the importance of patience.

**Project Scope**

I am seeking two primary deliverables:

Carmen is making her first appearance in the series. I will provide photographs of the real child who inspired her character.

The illustrator will develop a reusable character reference sheet featuring:
- Full-body character design
- Front and side views
- Three facial expressions
- Consistent physical features suitable for future illustrations

**2. Front Cover Illustration**

Create a vibrant, original book cover featuring all three characters: Grandma Bahamas, Chatoen, and Carmen.

The cover should capture the excitement of Carmen discovering a tiny pineapple in Grandma's tropical Bahamian garden.

Existing character reference sheets for Grandma Bahamas and Chatoen will be provided to maintain their recognizable appearances.

The first two books have different cover styles, and I welcome fresh artistic creativity for Book #3.

**Required Deliverables**
- Carmen's approved character reference sheet
- Preliminary cover sketches
- One completed, full-color front cover with title placement
- Up to two rounds of reasonable revisions per deliverable
- High-resolution, print-ready artwork
- Editable layered source files
- Commercial rights and ownership terms suitable for publishing, translations, and future merchandise

**Budget:** $300 fixed price

**Timeline:** Approximately 3–4 weeks from contract start.

**Preferred Qualifications**

Experience illustrating children's books, creating expressive characters, and maintaining character consistency across a series. Familiarity with Caribbean environments and culturally authentic illustrations is a plus.

**To Apply**

Please provide examples of previous children's book covers and character reference sheets, your estimated completion timeline, and confirmation that your proposal includes both deliverables.

This project may lead to future opportunities involving interior illustrations, Spanish-language editions, and companion educational materials.

***********************************************
I've attached the covers of the first two books in my Grandma Bahamas series for reference. Additional character sheets and photographic references will be provided to the selected illustrator. I'm seeking a fresh cover design for Book #3 while maintaining the recognizable appearances of the recurring characters.

Looking for someone to help us get a few designs finished and ready to be shipped by the end of February.

We need someone who is great at communicating, has experience with clothing design, and able to use the templates provided. We are using Printify which has templates for the sizing. We will do a small trial run to begin with and if the team likes your work we will turn this more into a regular contract work.

Please have a portfolio I can provide to my team. NO AI, I am not looking for a "prompt engineer". I want real designs not slop. And consumers want something real too.

Name of the company is Quote Book Tees. We are also looking for a logo designer!

We are looking for a creative designer to develop a unique, fun t-shirt design for Gunselman's Tavern. We already have standard logo apparel for our team, but we want to introduce a fresh, eye-catching design that doubles as a cool merchandise piece our loyal clientele will actually want to buy and wear.

A vintage-style black-and-white pen-and-ink illustration featuring a plate with three chocolate chip cookies, a glass of milk, and a small handwritten note reading “For Santa.” The design should feel warm, nostalgic, and reminiscent of a classic Christmas tradition, with clean details suitable for laser engraving.

We have a finished bag design concept that was created using AI and now need an experienced graphic designer/illustrator to recreate the artwork professionally for production.

The attached reference is the final creative direction. We are not looking for a redesign or new interpretation. The finished artwork needs to look as close as possible to the reference, including the individual beach-inspired illustrations, their colors, proportions, irregularities, and overall hand-painted feel. Bag Designs V-2 (1).pdf

The pattern consists of small illustrated people, beach umbrellas, loungers and groupings of figures, arranged organically across a natural kraft paper bag. Each individual icon/illustration needs to be properly recreated—not simply traced poorly or pulled directly from the AI image.

We need someone who can preserve the slightly imperfect, artistic hand-painted / watercolor / gouache feel while creating clean, production-ready artwork.

Deliverables:

* Recreate each individual illustrated element/icon from the supplied design
* Match the existing artwork as closely as possible
* Maintain the hand-painted, slightly imperfect character
* Recreate the overall pattern/layout
* Supply each individual illustration as a separate editable asset
* Supply complete repeating/final pattern artwork
* Production-ready Adobe Illustrator file
* Vector where appropriate, while retaining the painted texture
* High-resolution transparent PNG assets
* Print-ready PDF
* All source/editable files
* Artwork prepared so our packaging manufacturer can place it directly onto the final bag dieline

Deadline: Must be fully completed within 24 hours of hiring.

Budget: $150 fixed price

Please only apply if you can begin immediately and deliver within the deadline.

When applying, please send 1–3 examples of illustration work that demonstrates a hand-painted, watercolor, gouache or similar organic style. Experience preparing artwork for packaging/printing is strongly preferred.

Important: This is an execution job, not a creative exploration. The goal is to reproduce the supplied design extremely closely and faithfully, while turning the AI concept into professional, usable artwork.

I need an illustrator who can draw a 50's style/house wife/pin up piece that will be for album artwork. I need it to be extremely period specific. Attached below is a perfect example of what I need. The actual piece itself I can describe in further detail later on.

Thank you! - Dan
