Dear Sofiia!

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently developing a children's picture book about a red fox and her friends in the forest, aimed for children aged 5-8 years. The story follows a curious young fox named Frida as she explores the different layers of a mixed forest.
I am looking for a talented illustrator to bring this story to life in a soft detailed watercolor style that evokes warmth, wonder, and natural beauty. The illustrator should accurately depict central European flora and fauna with a strong emphasis on ecological accuracy and child friendly appearance.

Project scope:
Approx 5 chapter, 15-18 full page illustrations, each image will include background scenes and character interactions

Licensing:
I am seeking exklusive usage rights for print, digital and duration (unlimited/worldwide)

Please let me know:
If that project aligns with your interests. Your estimated cost range. Turnaround times and availability. Any questions or file format preferences you have

I would love to provide a detailed storyboard and example texts if you are interested. Thank you for your time and consideration - I would love to cooperate with you.

Best regards,


Vanessa K.

Linked below is a map of the fairgrounds where we host our annual event. I need a similar map done but in more of a portrait orientation. I can send pictures and/or a link to view the grounds from Google.

I like the pencil-drawn style that we have here, but am open to your specific style. Please send me a sample of something you've done that's similar.

I'd prefer the art be vectored, but if not, it needs to be large enough for me to produce on a poster sized 36"h x 24"w.

The description is pretty much what I said.
I have also attached a sample photo which I like. However I want the wolf to look more muscular and tough.

Instead of the half moon I would like a half sun design. Very minimalist and drawn too.

Job Description:

I’m launching a video series called Knowing Nothing: short, philosophical/scientific explainer videos designed to help people see clearly.

I’m looking for a visual thinker who can take rough sketches and voiceovers, and turn them into clean, hand-drawn-style diagrams that feel like someone is thinking through a chalkboard in real time.

This is not branding work. It’s not animation-heavy. It’s visual explanation: a pencil or pen line that makes abstract ideas suddenly make sense.

What You’ll Be Doing:

* Turn rough stick-figure diagrams into polished line drawings (5–8 per 5–6 min video)
* Maintain a consistent visual language (arrows, waves, clocks, mirrors, contradictions)
* Deliver layered .PNG or .SVG files with transparent backgrounds
* (Bonus) Provide stroke-order layers or Procreate playback for light reveal animation

Ideal Style:

* Clean, imperfect lines
* Minimal color (black + white, maybe 1 accent)
* Diagrams that explain systems, causality, implication, contradiction

Think:
• MinutePhysics
• xkcd meets metaphysics
• A philosopher drawing in the margin of a math textbook

Tools You Might Use:

* Procreate (preferred)
* Photoshop (line brush + tablet)
* Figma or Illustrator (if you can make it look hand-drawn)
* Goodnotes, Concepts, or Excalidraw for roughs

First Job (Paid Test):

If you’re shortlisted, I’ll send you:

* A 60-second voiceover clip
* 2–3 rough diagram sketches
* You’ll return 3 polished frames in your style

This is a paid micro-test to check fit. If it clicks, I’d love to bring you on for regular episodes (1–2 per week).

Hi, I am looking for help finalizing a logo for my business. I have attached an initial hand-drawn image that we are starting with. We would like to simplify the drawing so that we can use it in embroidered products, etc. A few notes:
-We'd like to keep the personality of the dog, if possible
-We want to remove some of the sketch lines so this can be used in embroidery (ex: a baseball cap)
-We want it to look hand-drawn and organic still (not cartoon-like)
-We'll need the transparent PNG file once it's complete
-I've attached an example of one logo we like - we don't want to copy this obviously but just as a directional example (grapes)
-This can be re-drawn, if necessary. Or you can work with the original image if you prefer.
-We do not need to include our company name as part of the logo.

We're looking for a top-level video creator to produce a high-converting VSL based on an existing script and creative direction. The video must combine:

Ultra-realistic characters generated via VEO3 or similar AI video tools (must be 4K, no visible AI glitches — even for viewers under 50).

Hand-drawn style motion design, fast and sketchy, fully aligned with our brand visuals and IA character designs.

🎨 Creative Direction
Crisp 4K resolution — no artifacts, no pixelation, no robotic transitions.

Realistic, human-like avatars with natural facial expressions and body movement.

Hand-drawn motion design (sketchy, minimalistic) to visually represent concepts — playful yet professional.

Everything must match our branding (ecosysteme.ai) — we’ll provide assets, colors, and references.

🧠 Required Skills
Deep experience with AI video tools (VEO3, Pika Labs, Runway, or equivalent)

Strong skills in motion design and animation (After Effects or similar tools)

Advanced prompt engineering to generate perfect visuals via AI

Eye for B2B storytelling and video sales psychology

Ability to follow and adapt a script, pacing and visuals included

❌ Do NOT apply if:
You deliver average or "okay" video quality

Your work contains visible AI defects or deepfake effects

You don’t have experience combining motion design + AI avatars

You can't work in 4K or match existing brand guidelines

✅ We expect:
Flawless video quality in 4K resolution

Emotionally compelling, believable visuals

Seamless integration of AI avatars and hand-drawn motion elements

A result that feels natural, cinematic, and conversion-oriented

💬 To apply, send us:
A portfolio with similar work (AI + motion design in 4K only)

Your preferred AI tools (VEO3, Pika, etc.)

Your experience in prompting and video storytelling

Estimated turnaround time and availability

🚨 IMPORTANT: Please apply ONLY if you’re capable of delivering pixel-perfect, studio-grade work. Quality is non-negotiable. We’re looking for a pro, not an experiment.

I’m looking for an illustrator with experience in soft, delicate watercolor and pencil drawings to recreate a set of 9 fairy sketches. Each fairy is paired with a specific flower (rose, lilac, poppy, hydrangea, sweet pea, tulip). The goal is to replicate the the composition of my existing sketches, preserving the original character poses, floral arrangements, and overall structure, while refining the line work and watercolor application for a more polished, professional result.

What I Need:

Pencil-style linework: clean, soft graphite or pencil look (not black ink).

Watercolor: delicate, transparent washes in soft, naturalistic colors (not fully painted or overly stylized).

Negative white space preserved as in the originals.

Avoid hard edges or digital “marker” effects; maintain a hand-drawn, airy, traditional illustration aesthetic.

We’re looking for a clever and expressive line art illustrator to create a continuous multi-scene illustration that will be printed along the sides of a product box. This will be the only artwork applied to the box. We do NOT need full packaging design.

An example of the type of illustration we're looking for is attached.

The illustration will wrap around all four sides of the box as one long, connected visual story. The tone is light-hearted, smart, and gently humorous and is intended to make estate and end-of-life planning feel approachable. Think of it like a visual comic strip (without panels) filled with quirky, relatable moments about family, paperwork, pets, and legacy.

What We Need:
- One continuous illustration strip (vector or high-res raster)

~50 small, simple “micro-scenes” we’ve already scripted
(Example: a cat knocking over a pile of paperwork, a bookshelf labeled “Important Stuff” with an urn tucked between cookbooks, a sticky note on a drawer that says “Passwords... maybe”) We have a list of potential scenes, but we're open to your ideas too.

- Connected in a single flowing line or loosely blended environments

- Clean, black-and-white or monochromatic line art — legible, charming, and print-friendly

Dimensions: ~54 inches wide × 8 inches tall

Style We're Looking For:
- Hand-drawn, editorial-style line art
- Whimsical, clever, but not cartoonish or exaggerated
- Fun to look at — each scene tells a little story
- Visual storytelling experience is a big plus

We’re looking for a children’s book illustrator to help bring a warm, funny, and heartfelt story to life.

The book is called “Katie the Caiman.” It’s a 32-page picture book written by my wife, inspired by a real animal rescue center. It’s designed for kids ages 4–8 to enjoy with their parents. The tone is playful, emotional, and character-driven with jungle animals, light humor, and a simple message about identity and belonging.

The story: Katie is a curious little caiman who follows a butterfly too far from her home in the Costa Rican mangroves and gets lost. She finds a waterfall pool inside a human building and starts splashing—only to be mistaken for a crocodile. After some panic, kind rescuers bring her to an animal center where she meets monkeys, sloths, macaws, and a group of rhyming turtles. She’s finally seen for who she is and finds a new home.

How We’re Hiring
We’re hiring three artists for a paid test round. Each will be paid $100 USD to illustrate the same full-color scene. After reviewing the test pieces, we’ll choose one illustrator to complete the full 32-page book.

The Test Scene ($100)
Katie has just discovered a warm pool with a waterfall inside a building. She’s joyfully splashing her tail in the water—totally relaxed and happy—when a human sees her and is about to scream. The goal is to show both Katie’s joy and the humor/tension of the moment. You’ll have creative freedom with layout (single-page, double-page, etc.).

Timeline: Start next week and due by July 31st

Full Book Details (If Selected)
32 pages total, including front/back matter

~15–16 illustrated pages (full spreads or single pages, depending on layout)

Budget: $1,500 USD for the full book

Timeline: ideally completed within 4 weeks

Final deliverables: print-ready and web-ready files (PDF + image formats)

We’re building this to be hardcover-print ready from the start

We’ll provide the full manuscript, a scene-by-scene breakdown, style references, and formatting specs from the beginning to make the process smooth.

Style We’re Looking For
Expressive, friendly animal characters (especially Katie)

Bright but natural colors, soft lines, warm tone

Think: The Gruffalo, Bluey, A Bit Lost by Chris Haughton

NOT overly cartoony or hyper-realistic — we want heart, texture, and character

To Apply
If you’re interested, please send:
1. A short intro about yourself and your experience with children’s books
2. 2–4 samples of your work (especially with animals or expressive characters)
3. Confirmation you’re comfortable with the $100 paid test and the $1,500 full book rate

We’ll provide the creative brief, character notes, and reference images to selected test illustrators. We’re excited to find someone great to bring Katie’s story to life.

Let us know if you have questions — we’ll keep things simple and collaborative.

Nous cherchons à développer un nouveau design pour un t-shirt streetwear dans un style artistique, moderne et visuellement fort.

Ce que nous recherchons :
• Une base blanche ou unie, avec des touches graphiques créatives : effets de pinceau, tâches de peinture, éléments abstraits, pixelisés ou légèrement glitchés.
• Un design minimaliste à l’avant (logo ou petit symbole discret), et un visuel percutant au dos, avec une vraie identité graphique.
• L’univers visuel peut mélanger formes libres, icônes modernes (comme des cœurs, silhouettes, visages floutés), ou des références culturelles stylisées.
• Le rendu doit être contemporain, urbain, artistique, avec un vrai équilibre entre originalité et simplicité.

Notre objectif :
Créer une pièce forte pour notre marque de vêtements streetwear. Notre identité repose sur l’expression des origines, la culture rif, et le mélange entre traditions et influences modernes. Nous souhaitons un design unique, qui raconte quelque chose et attire l’œil sans être trop chargé.

I’m seeking a talented and reliable illustrator with a passion for dark fantasy, eldritch horror, and tabletop RPGs to help bring my indie roleplaying game to life.

This is a solo or 2-player tabletop RPG set in a bleak, mythic world where players hunt titanic entities known as the Fellborne. The art style is moody, textured, and atmospheric—think skeletal ruins, gnarled trees, ancient relics, and colossal horrors towering over shattered landscapes.

This is a world shaped by shadow and silence, and the artwork should feel hand-worn, tactile, and immersive. We’re looking for visual storytelling that reinforces the themes of dread, isolation, and decaying beauty.

Job Title: Expert Canva Pro Designer Needed for Premium 52-Card Wellness Deck (Perimenopause Biohacks) – High-Res Digital PDF OutputJob Description:Hello! I'm seeking a top-tier Canva Pro and graphic design specialist to craft a world-class 52-card digital deck on biohacks for perimenopause (the transitional menopause phase, focusing on symptom relief like hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue). This is an educational, premium product with elegant aesthetics inspired by classic playing cards—rounded corners, symmetrical ornate borders, and unique custom illustrations—but no gameplay. The result should be visually stunning, professional, and engaging, hooking users with teaser text to scan QR codes for science-backed details.This is for one deck only to start. If the quality exceeds expectations, we'll expand to more (e.g., post-menopause). Budget: $150-200 AUD (fixed price; propose within this range based on your expertise). Timeline: 5-7 days for initial draft, up to 2 revisions, final delivery in 10 days.Project Overview and Requirements:Deck Theme: Perimenopause Biohacks – 52 unique cards (one per hack), grouped into 4 categories of 13 each: Nutrition, Fitness, Supplements, Lifestyle. Each card teases a groundbreaking, evidence-based hack with catchy lines, driving QR scans to detailed fact sheets.
Card Specifications: Size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches (portrait orientation, rounded corners for a card-like feel).
Format: Two-sided (front/back) design. Output as high-resolution, print-ready PDF (with bleed if needed for future printing) and individual high-res PNG files for previews/marketing.
Resolution: 300 DPI minimum for sharp, professional quality.

Aesthetics and Style Guidelines (Use Canva Pro for premium templates, fonts, elements, and advanced features like smart mockups or background removers):Overall Vibe: Warm rose-gold palette (soft pinks #FFB6C1, golds #D4AF37, neutrals #F5F5F5 for backgrounds) to evoke calm and transition. Designs should feel luxurious and collectible, like vintage playing cards but modernized for wellness—symmetrical layouts, subtle gradients, and high-end finishes.
Front Side: Thin, ornate border (e.g., custom filigree or geometric patterns from Canva Pro—gold accents for elegance).
Center: Unique, stylized illustration or icon custom to the hack (e.g., a detailed flaxseed pod with subtle glow for the flaxseed hack—use Pro tools to create or enhance; no generic free assets, aim for polished, hand-drawn style via Pro elements or quick vector edits).
Top: Hack title in bold, premium sans-serif font (e.g., Montserrat or Pro-exclusive like Playfair Display, 18-20pt, gold text).
Bottom: 1-2 catchy hook lines (14pt, white or neutral text) to intrigue and prompt scanning (e.g., "Slash hot flashes by 50%—scan for the estrogen-mimicking revolution").
No overcrowding: Prioritize whitespace (at least 20% empty space) and visual balance.

Back Side: Uniform across all cards for a cohesive deck feel.Background: Subtle wellness motif (e.g., faint, ethereal vines or waves in soft gradient—use Canva Pro patterns or create custom).
Content: Summary (2-3 sentences, 12pt), Benefits (3-4 bullets, 12pt), QR code (bottom-right corner, sized 0.75x0.75 inches, black/white for scannability).
Footer: Brief disclaimer in small text (10pt, neutral color: "Not medical advice—consult a doctor").

QR Codes: Generate one per card using Canva Pro's built-in tool or qr-code-generator.com. Each links to a dedicated fact sheet (create as separate Pro-designed PDFs or Google Docs with matching aesthetics—header with hack title, body in readable font).
Fact Sheets: One per hack (1-2 pages, A4 size, matching deck palette). Structure:Header: Hack title + icon.
Overview: 1 paragraph intro.
Deep Dive: 300-500 words on mechanism, dosage/protocol, benefits breakdown, potential side effects, synergies with other hacks.
References: 3-5 bulleted sources with links (e.g., studies, podcasts).
Disclaimer: Full version at bottom ("This is educational content only...").

Design Best Practices: Readability: High contrast (e.g., dark text on light backgrounds); sans-serif fonts for body text.
Uniqueness: Each card's front illustration must be distinct (e.g., vary shapes/colors subtly while tying to the hack—use Pro's advanced editing for shadows/glows).
Optimization: Ensure files are optimized for digital (under 50MB total) and print (CMYK color mode if possible).
Testing: Make QR codes scannable; preview on mobile/desktop.

Step-by-Step Workflow:Template Creation: Build a master two-sided template in Canva Pro with placeholders for title, hook, illustration, summary, benefits, QR, and disclaimer. Share an editable link for review before populating.
Content Integration: Use the exact content provided below for each card. Duplicate the template 52 times, then customize:Front: Insert title, hook, and unique illustration.
Back: Insert summary, benefits, QR (link to fact sheet), disclaimer.

QR and Fact Sheets: Create QR for each hack linking to its fact sheet.
Design fact sheets in Canva Pro (matching style—e.g., same borders/fonts). Use the provided fact sheet content.

Review and Revisions: Send a draft of 5 sample cards + 1 fact sheet for feedback. Incorporate up to 2 rounds of changes (e.g., color tweaks, illustration adjustments).
Final Delivery: Zip file with:Editable Canva Pro link for the deck.
Full PDF of the 52-card deck (two-sided layout for easy viewing/printing).
Individual high-res PNGs (front/back per card).
Folder of 52 fact sheets (PDFs).
Any custom assets (e.g., illustrations as separate files).

Exact Content for All 52 Cards (Use this verbatim; each has front hook, back summary/benefits, and full fact sheet details. Illustrations: Suggest one unique per hack in parentheses).Nutrition Hacks (Cards 1-13):Hack: Omega-3 Index Optimization (Illustration: Stylized fish oil droplet with brain waves).
Front Hook: "Revolutionize inflammation control: 2g EPA/DHA daily from fish oil—slash mood swings by 30-50% and restore brain balance."
Back Summary: This targets omega imbalances exacerbating perimenopause chaos, with high-EPA formulas reducing cytokine storms (overactive immune responses causing inflammation) for steady hormones; EPA competes with omega-6s in cell membranes to inhibit eicosanoid production, while DHA enhances brain fluidity for neurotransmitter stability. Benefits: • Lowers inflammation 30-50%. • Stabilizes mood/energy. • Supports heart health. QR to fact sheet. Disclaimer: Not medical advice—consult a doctor.
Fact Sheet Overview: Omega-3s, particularly EPA/DHA, act as anti-inflammatory agents by inhibiting arachidonic acid pathways, crucial in perimenopause where estrogen fluctuations spike prostaglandins causing flashes and pain. The game-changer is achieving an Omega-3 Index greater than 8% via supplementation, shown to modulate serotonin receptors for mood stability.
Deep Dive: Mechanism: EPA competes with omega-6s in cell membranes, reducing eicosanoid production that fuels inflammation; DHA enhances brain fluidity, improving neurotransmitter function amid hormone dips. 2025 trials show 2g daily elevates Index from 4% (average) to greater than 8%, cutting vasomotor symptoms 30-50% and anxiety scores 40% via GABA modulation. Dosage: 2g combined EPA/DHA (fish/algae oil); take with meals for absorption, test Index via blood kit every 3 months. Side Effects: Fishy aftertaste (use enteric-coated); bleeding risk if on anticoagulants—monitor. Synergies: With curcumin for 60% inflammation drop; pair with magnesium for sleep enhancement. Track via mood apps; benefits peak at 8-12 weeks.

Disclaimer: Educational only; may interact with meds—consult doctor. Results vary.
