Hello, I’m a fashion and textile designer with over 10 years of experience in digital illustration, surface design, and high-detail artwork preparation using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. My background in creating embroidery motifs, sublimation print production, and crest redesign for performance teams has trained me to work with extremely fine line details and complex compositions. When designing new gear for teams, I frequently reinterpret intricate heritage-style crests — preserving their identity while refining clarity, structure, and colour balance. These skills translate perfectly to the careful enhancement of historical engravings such as those by Hieronymus Wierix. I am comfortable using AI-assisted tools for an initial colour pass, followed by precise manual refinement to ensure: - Clean, artefact-free results - Accurate historical and stylistic consistency - Cohesive colour harmony across all 19 images - Preservation of delicate linework and engraving detail - A polished, hand-finished appearance suitable for archival display I work methodically and can dedicate the required 10+ hours to ensure each engraving receives thoughtful manual attention. Meeting the end-of-month deadline will not be an issue. Best regards, Marsha…
