Personalised Family Illustration – Detailed & Fun Christmas GiftUrgent

I’m looking for an illustrator to create a detailed, colourful digital family illustration as a Christmas gift for my sister. The scene should show Dani, Alex and their young daughter Sydney naturally interacting in a playful, energetic park setting rather than posing for a portrait. It should include family items such as bubbles, Sydney’s bike and toys, a playground, cricket and golf equipment, bags, and other details integrated naturally into the scene. I will provide photo references, family jokes and Easter eggs, while giving the artist creative freedom to create a cohesive composition.

The style should be warm, cartoon, anime or animated-film inspired, with expressive characters, a detailed background and plenty of visual storytelling. Their late dog, Apollo, should appear as a small background detail lying on a cloud and looking down at the family, without angel imagery. The final artwork must be a high-resolution digital file suitable for printing and framing, delivered before Christmas.

Budget range:
Small project ($750 – 1,500 USD)

About the client
I’m based in Brisbane, Australia, and I’m looking to commission a personalised illustration as a Christmas gift for my sister. This is a personal project rather than a commercial one. I have a clear overall concept and can provide plenty of photo references and ideas, but I’m also very happy to give the artist creative freedom with the final composition.
