Illustrate a Chinese Folktale Book With Me
ART STYLE
I want to capture the essence of ancient China. With that being said, I see in my head like a watercolor with black ink...some color...zero backgrounds or very subtle inked backgrounds. I will share some examples. Although this is what I see, I am very open to a new style that fuses both new and old style. I want this book to be unique and experimental, yet, classic and Chinese.
ABOUT PROJECT:
We will need:
-bid will be for 22 illustrations
-all source files (psd in layers) and jpegs
-a full-copyright transfer
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficiency in traditional Chinese and cartoon illustration styles
- Ability to create detailed landscapes and expressive characters
- Knowledge and understanding of Chinese culture and folklore
- Strong storytelling and narrative skills
- Attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of the folktale in the illustrations
NOTE TO UPWORK FREELANCERS:
This book is about a Chinese folk tale. I want to capture the style of ancient China through the illustrations. I would love the illustrator to have some Chinese background. If you have a dual citizenship, that could be beneficial to awards as some awards require both author and illustrator to be a US citizen. While this is a request, it isn't necessary though as I will choose an illustrator that captures the essence more than anything.
BEFORE YOU BID
Make sure that you give yourself some proper time to complete the project and bid accordingly. Most of my book projects go about a month. (22 illustrations)
