Modernize and Recolor 38 Classic Illustrations for eBook
I’m looking for a talented illustrator or digital artist to modernize a set of 38 existing images for an eBook project. The original illustrations will be provided — some are in black and white, while others are coloured. Your task is to re-imagine them in a fresh, whimsical, and pastel-toned style, similar to the sample reference image I’ve attached.
These illustrations can be hand-drawn or digitally created, as long as they align with the dreamy, modern, storybook vibe seen in the sample (think soft colours, subtle fantasy, Gen Alpha aesthetic).
I’ve attached:
One original illustration from the existing set
One sample image showing the updated visual style I’m aiming for
If you’re skilled in breathing new life into classic characters with a modern twist — and love working on narrative art — this is for you!
A modern, whimsical reimagining of Alice in Wonderland, designed to appeal to tween and Gen Alpha readers (ages 9–13). The style should feel dreamy, approachable, and magical — like a digital storybook with soft fantasy vibes.
Think:
Studio Ghibli meets pastel-core
Classic storybook meets 2025 Pinterest aesthetic
Illustration Style:
Soft, pastel color palette
Smooth digital shading or painterly/hand-drawn textures
Expressive characters with emotive eyes and stylized expressions
Whimsical scenery (curved shapes, surreal proportions, floating objects)
Light outlines or no harsh lines
Layered depth in backgrounds with magical lighting touches
Avoid:
Harsh realism or dark, gritty tones
Overly flat vector graphics
Thick comic-style black outlines
Overly cartoonish/exaggerated caricatures (unless story-appropriate)
Colour Palette (Suggested):
Lavender, soft lilac, sky blue, cream
Mint green, peach, dusty rose, pale gold
Light grey, navy accents for contrast
Pops of glowing teal or magical neon (sparingly)
Total Images: 38 illustrations (reworked from originals)
Style: Modern, whimsical, pastel-toned (see reference image provided)
Medium: Can be digitally illustrated or hand-drawn and scanned (high-quality)
Properties
File Type: PNG (preferred, with transparent background if needed) or high-quality JPEG
Color Mode: RGB (suitable for eBooks)
Resolution: 300 DPI (high print-ready quality)
Dimensions: Minimum 2560 x 1600 pixels
Aspect Ratio Match final trim size (e.g., 6" x 9") or scalable square (for flexible layout)
File Naming Clearly labeled
Images should be formatted for full-page use, with characters or scenes centered and well-framed.
Avoid heavy use of black outlines or comic-style effects.
Light, soft backgrounds are preferred. Make sure text (if added) is readable on top.
Please retain the dreamy, magical, and storybook tone throughout.
