Cartoon Martial Arts Baby Book

I’ve written an 8-page children’s story as a keepsake for my son’s martial arts instructor, celebrating the arrival of his new baby. I now need a talented illustrator to bring those pages to life in a bright, vibrant, cartoonish style.

Here’s what I already have:
• Final text for all eight pages, plus a short dedication.
• A rough page-by-page breakdown of the scenes (instructor, baby, simple dojo settings, a few playful martial-arts touches). I can share the storyboard and reference photos by email as soon as we start.

What I’m looking for from you:
• Eight full-page, print-ready illustrations that match the storyboard.
• A soft, welcoming cover that fits the same palette.
• High-resolution files (preferably layered PSD or PNG) suitable for printing in an 8x8-inch format.
• Simple rights transfer so the family can print as many copies as they’d like.

Key style notes:
• Cartoonish characters with clear expressions.
• Bright and vibrant colours—think joyful and energetic rather than pastel or monochrome.
• Emphasis on the bond between the instructor and his baby; subtle martial-arts symbols can appear in the background where it feels natural.

Timeline:
I’d love to have final files within three weeks so the book can be printed before the baby’s first milestone celebration. I’m happy to review rough sketches quickly and provide prompt feedback.

If this sounds like a fun, heart-warming project, I’d love to see samples of similar children’s illustrations you’ve done. Let’s create a memorable gift together!
