Melancholic Rat-Girl Bar Illustration
Budget: $15 – $25 CAD
I need a single, full-colour illustration in an unmistakably Anthropomorphic style: my rat-girl singer on a small, grimy stage in a smoke-tinged dive bar. The band behind her plays shoegaze, so everything should feel muted, washed-out and solemn. A reference sheet for the character will be supplied; her expression must read clearly melancholic—soft eyes, slight slump of the shoulders, microphone held close.
Character details are the heart of this piece. Please give extra care to fur texture, whiskers, tail placement and worn clothing, while letting the background stay suggestive: flickering neon, half-empty glasses, scuffed floor, diffuse stage lights that barely cut through the haze. The palette can lean into dusky purples, dirty reds and pale blues to capture that shoegaze vibe.
Workflow I have in mind: rough sketch for approval, then a polished final at roughly 3000 px wide, delivered as both a flattened PNG and a fully layered PSD (or Clip Studio) so I can make minor colour tweaks later.
Acceptance criteria
• Rat-girl matches the provided reference.
• Expression is unmistakably melancholic.
• Lighting and tones evoke a solemn, shoegaze atmosphere.
• High-resolution, clean, layered file delivered on time.
