Crime Storytelling Sketch illustrations

I am looking for an illustrator to create semi-realistic, sketch-style artwork to be used in YouTube videos focused on true crime investigations and major catastrophes. The artwork should capture a dark, cinematic, and dramatic atmosphere, visually supporting the storytelling with expressive characters, tense scenes, and strong emotions, all while maintaining a hand-drawn, textured appearance. Proficiency in Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate, or similar digital illustration tools is required, and the ability to deliver layered PSD files is preferred. Experience with YouTube or video content illustration, publishing, comics, or visual storytelling is appreciated. You should be comfortable adapting your style to both serious historical and conceptual themes, following scripts and briefs, providing work on deadline, taking feedback, and making iterative improvements. Our production company, ZYGGYZAG, manages the ‘Neoxi’ YouTube channel. This is a remote, single project with the potential for follow-up work.
