Realistic Adventurous T-Shirt Design

I'm looking for a talented illustrator to create a T-shirt design for me. The design should feature a man backpacking in the mountains, carrying an elk head that he harvested from his hunt. It should be evident that he is transporting his harvest through the mountains.

- The illustration style should be realistic, not cartoonish or abstract.
- The tone of the design needs to convey a sense of adventure.
- The color scheme should primarily consist of earth tones.

Ideal Skills:

- Ability to convey mood and tone through design.
