Comic-Style Children's Book Illustrations

I'm seeking a skilled illustrator for a children's book. The illustrations should be in a comic book style, using soft pastel colors. Key elements include:
- All illustrations must feature fantasy creatures.
- Incorporation of everyday objects, but with a whimsical twist to align with the fantasy theme.

Ideal candidates will have:
- Extensive experience in children's and comic book illustrations.
- A strong portfolio showcasing character and realistic illustrations.
- A knack for using soft pastel color schemes in a vibrant and engaging way.

Please provide examples of similar work you've done in the past.
