art, drawing, characters, comics etc

I'm looking for a talented artist to help bring my ideas to life through realistic drawings or art. I have several characters I need drawn including humans, animals, and fantasy creatures, so I need someone who is able to produce unique and detailed art that can be used in comics, animations, and books. My ideas involve a specific theme and over 7 characters, so I need an experienced artist who has a skill level suited for this type of project. I'm open to seeing multiple approaches to the same character and various suggestions – creativity is appreciated. I'm looking to start this project right away so let's get to work!
