Find Watercolor Projects with Vollna

We are seeking a talented illustrator to create soft watercolor illustrations for a children's book. The ideal candidate will have experience in crafting cozy textures, rounded characters, and expressive faces that evoke warm emotions. The illustrations should be story-driven and resonate with young audiences. If you have a passion for creating enchanting visuals that enhance storytelling, we would love to see your portfolio and discuss this project further.

1. Project Overview - Comfy UI Workflow
I run a design brand that sells high-quality word-art (script + decorative elements) on Etsy and other platforms. Samples can be viewed at this URL: https://inyobus.com/samples
I need a qualified ComfyUI developer to build a workflow that reliably generates sellable word-art images from text phrases, probably using Flux Schnell (or another model that would work well) with good spelling and consistent style.
Environment & Constraints
2. OS / Hardware
• Windows 11
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16gb
• Plenty of disk space
3. Existing ComfyUI install
• Main install folder:
C:\Art Geyser\0 ComfyUI Engine
• Uses a virtualenv at C:\Art Geyser\0 ComfyUI Engine\venv
• ComfyUI-Manager is already present and used.

4. Target Models & Node Packs
Base model. Through my research it seems that Flux Schnell is a good suggested model for text, unless you have another suggestion that:
o works on RTX 4060 Ti 16gb
o has good text rendering capabilities. (Most important)
o is appropriate for typographic / sign / logo style images.
If Flux Schnell truly cannot be made to work reliably on this GPU, propose a close alternative with similar performance and typography quality, and document the choice.
Node packs / custom nodes
Please install & configure only what is needed, but at minimum:
1. Any Flux-specific loader / node pack required to run Flux Schnell, or whatever alternate model is used.
If additional nodes are needed (ControlNet, IPAdapter, etc.), list them explicitly and verify they are compatible with the versions you choose.
5. Functional Requirements – What the Workflow Must Do
High-level goal
Given a phrase like:
“FAITH OVER FEAR”
or a phrase like “Real courage is doing the right thing when no one applauds you” with a subline like an author’s quote “Charlie Kirk” the workflow should generate a word-art image like the samples I provide.
• Correct spelling at least 75–90% of the time.
• A consistent “sellable” style — clean, bold, legible typography.
• Embellishments like flourishes, borders, watercolor backgrounds hearts, dots or anything other relevant artistic embellishment.
This is not about random art; it’s about building a reliable typography engine that creates word art. These images can be used in a variety of products such as mugs, t-shirts, pillows and so on.

Image specs
Default output (can be configurable in the workflow):
• Size: 1500 × 1500 px (or 1024×1024 if Flux strongly prefers it, but document that)
• Mode: RGB
• Background:
o Mode A (default for now): pure white (#FFFFFF)
o Mode B (added from the prompt): light neutral / farmhouse-style textured background (beige, wood, etc, floral style, or any other background style described in the prompt. (most of the time not used.)
• File format: PNG saved into a configurable folder, with filename including the first three words in the phrase slug and seed (e.g., faith_over_fear.png). When there will be multiple phrases that are the same we will let windows number them (1)(2) etc.
6. Model-Driven Text
Flux Schnell (or similar) directly creates the letterforms and style.
• You may use a text-accuracy LoRA (like Texta or equivalent) if compatible with Flux or your chosen model.
• The prompt will describe the text, style, and layout
• Success criteria:
• For at least one test phrase like “Real courage is doing the right thing when no one applauds you”,

7 out of 10 generations should be spelled correctly and totally readable. We would expect better for short phrases.

Single-Image UI Parameters
In ComfyUI, I need these parameters exposed in an easy-to-adjust way:
• Phrase text (FAITH OVER FEAR).
• Seed (integer).
• Steps (if applicable).
• CFG / guidance scale.
• Model selection (if you include more than one Flux checkpoint or LoRA).
• Number of variations (Default 1 options 1-6)
Don’t worry about fancy UI — just make sure a normal ComfyUI user (me) can see and tweak these easily in the node parameters.
Deliverables
ComfyUI Workflows (JSON)
At minimum:
1. Single-image workflow
o JSON file (e.g., ArtGeyser_Flux_Text_v1.json)
o Uses one phrase input and allows for 1 or multiple variations of the PNG.
Documentation
A short README.txt in plain English, containing:
1. Environment setup you actually used
o Python version
o Torch version (include CUDA tag, e.g. 2.3.0+cu121)
o Exact location of ComfyUI folder and venv
o List of installed node packs and versions (Impact Pack, etc.)
2. Model info
o Which Flux Schnell checkpoint(s) you used
o Download links (or at least release names / hashes)
o Where to place them on my system (e.g., models/checkpoints/FluxSchnell-Whatever.safetensors)
3. How to run the workflow
o Which JSON to load
o Which nodes to edit to change:
 phrase text
 background mode
 embellishments
o Where the output PNGs are saved.
Acceptance Criteria (what I will use to sign off)
You can test with the phrase:
Real courage is doing the right thing when no one applauds you. Charlie Kirk
No money’s will be released until the job is accepted. I’ll accept the job when:
1. ComfyUI starts cleanly with no CUDA or node errors.
2. The workflow loads without missing nodes.
3. Running the workflow produces:
o A 1500×1500 (or 1024×1024) PNG.at least 7/10 images with correct spelling.
4. Embellishments appear in sensible positions.
5. I can change the phrase text to something like:
o GRACE UPON GRACE
o BE STILL AND KNOW
and re-run, without touching any wiring.

6. Nice-to-Have (Not required for this milestone, but helpful)
• A simple batch script or documented method to:
o Pass a list of phrases (from a text file or CSV)
o Run the ComfyUI workflow for each entry
o Save outputs with phrase-based filenames.
• Suggestions for:
o Better text LoRAs that you have actually tested with Flux Schnell or the model used.
o Best settings for stable text (CFG, steps, negative prompts).
________________________________________
7. What I Care About Most
1. Stability – no “it works only on my machine” setups. It MUST function correctly on my computer.
2. Text correctness
3. Clean, legible, sellable style – not grungy horror AI artifacts.
4. Clear documentation – so that my AI assistant (ChatGPT) and I can expand, batch, and automate this later.

If there are any questions please reach out to me. If you want to place a bid put the phrase “Peanut Butter” somewhere in the first sentence. That shows me that you actually have read this and are serious.

Thank you very much.

I’m preparing a new book and need a single, fully-finished illustration to bring one of the key scenes to life. The image will appear inside the book, so it has to look great both in print and in digital formats.

Here’s what I’m after:
– A creative, original illustration that matches the mood of the story (I’ll share the scene description and references once we start).
– Final artwork supplied in high-resolution CMYK (for print) and RGB (for e-book) along with the editable source file—PSD or AI is fine.
– Clean, well-named layers so my layout team can adjust sizing without losing quality.

I’m open to any illustration style—watercolor, vector, comic, or painterly—as long as it feels cohesive with the narrative. If you’ve handled book illustrations before, please point me to those samples so I can gauge fit quickly.

Let me know your estimated turnaround time and how many review rounds you typically include. I’m new to this platform, so a clear outline of your process will help us move smoothly from concept sketch to final art.

I’m creating a picture book and need a talented watercolor artist to breathe life into the pages. The look I’m after is unmistakably hand-painted: soft washes, visible brush textures and a warm, inviting palette. I want a moderate level of detail, clear character expressions, recognizable backgrounds and a few playful touches, without the visuals becoming so intricate that they overwhelm young readers.

The storyline follows our cats meeting each other for the first time, and their fears and insecurties because they are special needs.

Your job is to interpret each moment faithfully, keep the style consistent throughout the book and deliver artwork that is ready for print.

Deliverables
• Page-by-page or spread-based watercolor illustrations (exact count to be confirmed together)
• High-resolution CMYK finals (PSD or TIFF) plus web-ready RGB versions
• Clean 600 dpi scans or layered digital files for my designer’s layout work
• A simple colour palette and character sheet to lock down consistency

Acceptance criteria
• Genuine watercolor texture—no flat digital fills
• Consistent proportions and facial features across scenes
• Print-ready files that pass a pre-press check without colour shift or cropping issues

When you reply, please share relevant watercolor samples, especially anything showing aimals in real-world situations, and outline a timeline you’d anticipate for a standard 32-page picture book. I’m ready to begin as soon as I find the right illustrator and am happy to answer any questions about the manuscript or layout.

Looking forward to working with a creative, reliable illustrator on this project — with the potential for ongoing children’s book illustration work in the future.

I’m looking for a skilled digital artist or illustrator to manually repaint and refine digital artworks for high-quality, large-format printing, with the intention of building a long-term working relationship. This is a hands-on painting job, not a simple enhancement or upscaling task. The work must be done in Procreate or other similar digital painting tools, using real brushwork and traditional art techniques.

The goal is to recreate and refine each artwork so it looks genuinely hand-painted — with natural textures, depth, and expressive brushstrokes — while staying faithful to the original style, composition, and atmosphere.

What the Artist Will Do:
- Repaint or overpaint the artwork manually, closely matching the original style and expression
- Refine textures, brushstrokes, lighting, and fine details
- Add traditional painting qualities (watercolor, gouache, acrylic, ink, etc.)
- Improve clarity and overall visual consistency
- Ensure the final artwork feels cohesive, organic, and professionally crafted
- Work at full print resolution for large-format output

Key Requirements:
- Strong artistic background and understanding of traditional painting techniques
- Professional experience with Procreate or similar digital painting tools
- Ability to paint large, high-resolution canvases with consistent detail
- Excellent color matching and ability to recreate style and expression accurately
- Sensitivity to texture, brushwork, grain, and depth

Nice to Have:
- Experience preparing artwork for large-format print
- Knowledge of real media textures (paper grain, watercolor flow, ink behavior, acrylic layering)
- Ability to maintain consistent quality across multiple artworks

What This Is NOT:
❌ Not a simple enhancement or touch-up job
❌ Not an upscaling task
❌ Not filter-based illustration
❌ Not tracing without artistic reconstruction
❌ Not quick or automated work

This project requires real digital painting skills, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.

I need a highly skilled artist to create a detailed, realistic portrait of my dog.

Requirements:
- Realistic style preference
- Ability to work with either digital, oil paint, or watercolor mediums (please specify your medium in your bid)
- Experience in pet portraiture is a plus

Please include samples of your previous work, especially any pet portraits.

Skills: Photography, Photoshop, Illustration, Caricature & Cartoons, Painting, Digital Art, Oil Painting, Watercolor Painting

I’m creating a custom board game as part of a surprise engagement proposal. I need an artist who can illustrate in a Studio Ghibli / Miyazaki-inspired watercolor style, with soft colors, warm character designs, and whimsical scenery.

The deliverables include:
- 1 board game map (fun background with 3 rows by 5 columns for game cards). I have an AI generated layout, but want someone to bring it to life
- 15 illustrated cards (3 rows × 5 cards). I'll provide 15 pictures that I would want turned into anime/cartoons
- 1 final “proposal card” with an engagement ring illustration
- 2-character tokens (a cute cat and cute hamster)

This is a sentimental project, and I’m looking for someone with a soft, storybook approach to linework, color, and composition.

Timeline is important as I am hoping to finish before Xmas. Also, I'm hoping to hire someone to complete the entire job at a fixed price, not hourly. Happy to chat with more details if anyone is interested

I’m looking for a skilled illustrator or colorist to digitally retouch and color existing black-and-white line illustrations for a children’s mindfulness book.

The line art is already complete. This project is not full-page illustration work and does not require creating new drawings. Most illustrations are small doodles or half-page at most.

The goal is to add soft, hand-drawn color and texture so the illustrations feel warm, organic, and playful — similar to colored pencil and crayon drawings found in traditional children’s books.

Style & Look (Very Important)

The finished illustrations should feel:

Colored pencil and crayon-style

Hand-drawn and illustrated (not painterly)

Soft, textured, and slightly grainy

Line art remains visible and expressive

Calm, limited color palette (provided)

This is not brush-based watercolor, flat digital color, vector art, or cartoon-style shading.

Think colored pencil + crayon texture, with gentle layering and restraint — not smooth gradients or paint washes.

14 illustration pages

Existing black-and-white line art provided

Color palette provided

Illustrations are small doodles / partial-page (not full spreads)

Minimal revisions expected once style is approved

Final files should be clean, layered, and print-ready

Colored pencil brushes

Crayon or textured brushes

Paper grain overlays

Affinity or Photoshop also acceptable

$500 total for the project

This budget reflects the scope: retouching and coloring existing line art — not creating illustrations from scratch.

What I’m Looking For

Experience coloring or finishing children’s book illustrations

Strong sense of texture, restraint, and color harmony

Ability to follow an established palette and visual style

Comfort working with existing line art (not repainting it)

How to Apply

2–3 portfolio samples that show colored pencil, crayon, or textured hand-drawn work (children’s work preferred)

A brief note on which software you use

Confirmation that you’re comfortable working within the $500 budget

Optional (But Preferred)

Why This Project Might be a Good Fit

This is a calm, creative project focused on mindfulness and emotional regulation for kids. I’m looking for someone who enjoys subtle, thoughtful illustration work and understands that less is more when it comes to children’s book color and texture.

I’m looking for an experienced illustrator or colorist to digitally retouch and color existing black-and-white children’s book illustrations so they have a soft, hand-drawn watercolor or colored-pencil look.

The line art is already complete. This project is not full-page illustration work — most illustrations are small doodles or half-page at most. The goal is to add gentle color, texture, and organic shading, not heavy digital rendering.

Style & Look

Soft watercolor or colored pencil feel

Visible texture (paper grain, subtle shading)

• Describe your recent experience with similar projects

We are seeking a talented book cover designer to create an engaging cover for a children's book. The design will be for eBook AND Amazon publishing: so two versions needed. The design will incorporate artwork provided by our watercolor illustrator, so a keen eye for color and child-friendly aesthetics is essential (aged 9-13). The ideal candidate will have experience in children's book design and a portfolio showcasing previous work in this genre. If you have a passion for creating vibrant and captivating designs that appeal to young readers, we want to hear from you!

• Describe your recent experience with similar projects

I am preparing a new line of high-end scarves and need fresh, abstract motifs that feel exclusive yet timeless. My vision leans heavily on hand-drawn illustrations—elegant ink strokes, expressive water-colour washes, or pencil sketches that can be translated into production-ready repeats. While I will eventually digitise the artwork for print, the soul of each piece must start on paper and showcase the unique imperfections of true craftsmanship.

Looking for a range/mix of styles- from abstract to architectural - collections will be thematic, designed around a specific place or culture, and will require the designer to do extensive research ( will also provide very clear inspiration and guidelines). Looking for someone who can help with custom/corporate gifting designs as well - inspired by a company/brand without being literal- no logos- -- designs should reflect the experience of a place or brand.

Here’s what I’m looking for right now:
• 3–5 original scarf designs suitable for silk twill or cashmere/modal blends
• Each design supplied as the raw scan of your illustration plus a cleaned, layered file (preferably AI) ready for colour separation
• A seamless repeat or panel layout sized for a standard square scarf (90 × 90 cm or equivalent)
• A brief note on your palette choices and any finishing suggestions

Because style alignment is crucial, please send examples of past work that highlight your hand-drawn pattern or illustration skills—anything on textiles, stationery, or prints is welcome. I will shortlist based solely on portfolio strength and how well your abstract aesthetic fits the brand mood. Bonus if you have experience with equestrian inspired print design.

If selected, you’ll receive a concise mood board, logo placement guide, and the print house specs so you can finalise the files quickly. Turnaround for the first draft is two weeks from the brief; revisions are minimal if the core concept is strong. I will also set up a video call to provide all information prior to starting the project- as each will be different depending on if for a specific client, or for our core retail collection.
Interested in incorporating hand drawn/abstract style art as well.

I am looking for an illustrator for my second children's book (ages 2-6), featuring two horses, Big Sister and Little Brother, who attempt to. solve the mystery of their missing things. Most likely watercolor, but I will consider other painting styles. Absolutely no AI!

This would likely be the first book in a series.

Here are the first few pages:

Sister and Brother Horsey: A Sneaky Surprise

by Shelby Raebeck

(**Illustration descriptions are only suggestions)


It was a cloudy spring afternoon when Big Sister Horsey walked into her little brother’s room and asked what had happened to her favorite green sweater.
Little Brother Horsey shook his head. “I haven’t seen it,” he said.

“Then what did you and Goat use to make the green tent?” she said, pointing out the window at a small green tent in the back yard.
“We took a green towel from the bathroom,” said Little Brother Horsey.

The next day, Big Sister Horsey arranged her jumps in a circle in the back yard, and then, because it was so sunny, went into the storage shed to get her straw hat. But the hat wasn’t on the hook where she had left it.
She found Little Brother Horsey in the front yard. He had seen his sister’s jumping course and was setting up some smaller jumps of his own.

“Did you take my sun hat?” she asked.
“This hat is mine,” he said, removing the hat from his head and showing her the label inside that read, “Little Brother.”
“What about yesterday when you were playing with Goat?” Big Sister asked. “Did you let him wear my hat?”
“Yesterday was cloudy,” Little Brother Horsey said. “Who wears a sun hat when it’s cloudy?”

Just then, the two horses heard a sound, faint but clear, like the plucking of a violin string. Dimp dimp.
“What was that?” asked Little Brother Horsey nervously.
He moved over to stand beside his big sister, and the the two horses stared out into the woods at the edge of the yard. The woods were silent and still.

I am looking for a professional Stable Diffusion / ComfyUI specialist to help me develop a fully consistent children’s book character, create a ready-to-use SDXL pipeline, and produce 15 final illustrations in a watercolor anime-light style.

1️⃣ Creation of a Consistent Character Model (LoRA)

I already have several example images of my character (a girl about 8–9 years old).
However, these images are not stylistically consistent enough to train a high-quality LoRA directly.

Therefore, I need the following:
A) Creation of a Clean, Consistent Reference Set
The artist will generate 20–30 highly consistent training images of the character based on my visual guidelines:
same face structure
same proportions
same hairstyle
same art style (watercolor anime-light)
gentle pose and expression variations
clean, high-resolution outputs suitable for training

B) Training of a Final Character LoRA
Using this curated set, the artist will train a stable SDXL LoRA with:
strong face consistency (Face-Lock)
stable style (Style-Lock)
low drift across poses and scenes
suitable for professional children’s book illustrations
ability to reproduce the character reliably in many scenes

2️⃣ Development of a Professional ComfyUI Pipeline
I need a turnkey ComfyUI workflow that I can use independently.
The workflow must include:
Character-Lock (LoRA + RefNet / IP-Adapter-Face)
Style-Lock for consistent watercolor anime-light visuals
Background Control (for specific environments like bedroom, dreamworld, outdoor scenes)
Lighting Control
High-Res Pass / Upscale
SDXL Refiner
Watercolor / Ink shader pass
Automatic output at A4 landscape, 3508×2480 px, 300 dpi

The goal:
I write a text prompt → I get a consistent, print-ready illustration of the character in the correct style.

3️⃣ Creation of 15 Final Illustrations
A4 landscape, 3508×2480 px, 300 dpi
Watercolor anime-light style
Consistent character using the trained LoRA
Scenes based on my written descriptions
Includes environments (e.g., child’s bedroom, emotional dream spaces)
Includes a stylized light-dragon creature (“Chi”)
2–3 revision rounds per image

Please include in your proposal:
Examples of character LoRAs you have trained
Examples of ComfyUI workflows or screenshots
Samples showing consistent character generation
Your proposed timeline
Your total price for the full package

📌 Key Question (must be answered before hiring):
“After you train the final character LoRA and set up the ComfyUI workflow, will I be able to create additional illustrations on my own — with the same consistent character, style, face, and proportions — without needing further assistance from you?”

Please confirm:
That I will receive the complete LoRA (.safetensors)
That I will receive the full ComfyUI workflow (.json)
That all necessary models, nodes, and settings (Face-Lock, Style-Lock, RefNet/IP-Adapter) will be included
That the workflow will reliably reproduce the character in new scenes

Hi Moumita

I'm looking for a talented surface pattern designer in fashion. I'm not a fashion designer but I'm building and designing a line (yet to be launched) and therefore I need your help with the print design aspect of it.
I can take you through the essence of the brand, and what sort of prints I'm looking for. But I'm looking for someone who can create prints inspired from my moodboard, and literally walk me through the process of converting a digital print into how it will look on an actual print (work that i saw in your portfolio).
I also want to safeguard my brand from anybody claiming that I copied their prints - so I'm looking for someone who can help me in this regard as well.
There are 2 floral designs I'm looking for which have moodboard inspirations prepped (here I want to protect myself from being called a copycat)
And one polka (which i know is quite common and nobody owns)

Hoping to hear from you.

Regards
Ameya
