Create 10 original vector designs for a premium souvenir magnet brand based in Surabaya, Indonesia. The magnets will be die-cut enamel metal pieces, typically 1–3 inches, with selected concepts potentially incorporating spinable mechanisms or liquid-glitter shaker features. Artwork should reinterpret Indonesian culture—such as local landmarks, food, flora and fauna, folklore, batik, or tenun motifs—in a bold, playful, modern Gen-Z aesthetic. The visual direction is flat illustration, strong linework, sticker-like shapes, and a polished collectible feel rather than a traditional low-cost souvenir style. Deliver editable, production-ready AI, EPS, or PDF vector files for all designs, including appropriate CMYK/Pantone color guidance, bleed, and die-lines. Designs must be suitable for enamel-metal manufacturing and developed using supplied references where relevant. Include reasonable revisions through approval and transfer commercial usage rights for the final artwork. Please share a per-design rate, package pricing for all 10 concepts, and your estimated turnaround time. Read more

Create simple, colorful, playful illustrations for a series of young children’s and board books. Each book will typically need 10–15 illustrations, including a mix of single pages and occasional two-page spreads. Rough sketches, layouts, compositions, and creative direction will be provided. Translate these into polished, original artwork with a fun, imaginative feel; styles may range from crayon-like drawings and layered-paper looks to simple cartoons. Artwork must be human-created, not AI-generated. The client will handle text placement and final book formatting. Illustrations will be used in commercially published books in South Korea, educational read-aloud videos, social channels, promotional materials, and related educational resources, so commercial reproduction, distribution, display, and promotional rights are required. Illustrator credit will be included in published books. Read more

Create original comic character designs using traditional ink techniques. The visual direction is futuristic and post-apocalyptic, with minimal color and strong use of contrast. Characters should feel edgy, gritty, and distinctive rather than soft, cute, overly polished, or cartoon-like. Emphasize expressive silhouettes, ink texture, shadow, and a raw comic-book sensibility. Please share relevant examples of traditional ink character work, especially designs with dark sci-fi, dystopian, or post-apocalyptic influences. Read more

Create approximately 50 hand-drawn minimalist illustrations for a fiction book about an autistic woman in her 50s who wonders whether the sea is her mother. Each image will depict the woman in the same position on a beach sloping toward the water, with subtle variation as required by the manuscript. The visual approach should be restrained and literary: potentially a white background, simplified scenery, and no facial features. Artwork must be original, human-made illustration—AI-generated or anime-style work will not be considered. Illustrations will share pages with text, so compositions need to work within limited available space and complement the page layout rather than occupy a full spread. Please be prepared to provide iterative drafts and final artwork with full ownership transferred upon completion. The project is expected to run over 2–3 months, with work delivered in stages as illustrations are developed. Read more
