Premium Children's Book Illustrator Required

Children's Book Illustrator Needed (Consistent Cinematic 3D Style) – Ongoing Series

I'm creating a premium children's book series and am looking for a talented illustrator who can either closely match or improve upon an existing visual style.

This is not a project starting from scratch. I already have:

Complete manuscript
Storyboard for every page
Character designs
Existing illustrations
Detailed art direction
Reference images

Your job is to create polished final illustrations that remain visually consistent throughout the book.

Style

Looking for a warm, cinematic, highly detailed 3D illustrated style similar to modern animated feature films.

Requirements:

Strong facial expressions and emotion
Consistent characters from page to page
Beautiful lighting
Rich environments
Excellent composition
High attention to detail
Child-friendly but premium quality
Characters

The primary recurring characters include:

Bubba (young boy)
Daddy
RJ (golden retriever)
Additional recurring supporting characters

Character consistency is extremely important.

What You'll Receive
Full manuscript
Storyboard
Existing illustrations
Character references
Detailed notes for every page
Revision instructions where needed
Deliverables
High-resolution illustrations
Print-ready quality
Layered source files (PSD or equivalent)
Commercial rights transferred upon final payment
Important

Many scenes already exist and simply need improvements or revisions.

For example:

Increase emotional expressions
Improve facial animation
Refine lighting
Maintain identical composition
Keep props, backgrounds, and layouts unchanged while improving character acting

Attention to detail is critical.

This is an ongoing project.

This is the first book in a planned series, so there is significant future work available for the right illustrator.

To Apply

Please include:

Portfolio of children's illustrations
Examples of expressive character artwork
Any cinematic or stylized 3D illustrations
Your estimated cost per full-page illustration
Estimated turnaround time
Confirm you are comfortable matching an existing style rather than creating a new one.

Budget: Please provide your quote for the entire project and your per-illustration rate.
