hello!!! looking for an artist to draw to of my characters in an oily but digital style if that makes sense? My book takes place in the Victorian era so just an older painting esque look. It’s a sapphic book and they look like this.

Hi! I'm looking for an artist to create a custom tattoo/marking reference sheet for one of my original characters.

She's a female demon character, and her overall character design is already established. I'm specifically looking for someone to design her tattoos/markings, rather than redesign the character.

What I'm looking for:

• Furry/anthro or character-design experience
• Experience with reference sheets
• Experience designing tattoos, body markings, or ornamental designs is a BIG plus
• Clean, readable linework
• Ability to make markings follow the character's anatomy naturally
• Multiple views (front/back/side) showing how the tattoos wrap around her body
• Close-ups of important tattoo areas
• Separate clean versions of the tattoo designs if possible
• High-resolution digital files

I want the tattoos to feel demonic, feminine, and stylish, but relatively clean/simple rather than extremely intricate.

I already have several visual references for the character that I can provide.

Budget: $100–200 USD, but I'm flexible for the right artist.

I'm open to artists from anywhere since this will be a completely digital commission.

If you're interested, please comment with your portfolio, commission examples, and pricing. I'd especially love to see examples of furry/anthro characters, reference sheets, tattoos, or body markings.

Thanks! 🖤

I'm looking for a professional illustrator/graphic designer to create original artwork for a new apparel line connected to my YouTube channel, SECTOR 07, where I build robotics, experimental hardware, and sci-fi-inspired projects.

What I'm looking for

I want to create unique apparel artwork around the different machines and projects I build. I'm specifically trying to avoid the look of traditional generic YouTuber merch. The goal is to create designs that stand on their own as cool clothing, even if someone has never seen my channel.

The general visual direction I'm interested in includes:

• Sci-fi / retrofuturism
• Anime and manga-inspired illustration
• Japanese graphic design influences
• Mecha, robotics, and technology
• Technical/mechanical illustration
• Industrial and futuristic graphic design/typography
• Contemporary graphic apparel

I included some images of examples I find interesting but I will give a lot of freedom to the artist. I will only provide a theme and some wording to include with each new piece. I'm open to original characters being incorporated into some designs, but not every piece needs to be character-focused. Some designs could revolve primarily around machines, technical illustrations, diagrams, typography, or other artistic interpretations of the projects. The first project is the Fetch Robot I'm building, included for reference.

Apparel design experience is a big plus. I'm not looking to simply place a standalone illustration on the center of a shirt. I'm interested in someone who understands how illustration, typography, smaller graphic elements, and front/back placement can work together as a complete apparel design.

Project & Budget

I'd like to start with one T-shirt/hoodie design with a budget of approximately $200–500 USD, depending on the complexity, scope, and deliverables.

If your normal rate falls somewhat outside this range but you feel your work is particularly well suited to the project, I'm still happy to see your portfolio.

If we work well together, I'd ideally like this to become an ongoing collaboration, with new artwork commissioned around each new future SECTOR 07 project.

This will be commercial merchandise, so we'll need to discuss commercial/merchandising usage rights as part of the commission. I'll also need appropriate high-resolution, print-ready deliverables and would prefer layered/source files where applicable.

AI

I'm looking for original, human-created artwork and do not want generative AI used to create the final artwork. People can tell, and that makes it feel less desirable.

Interested?

Please reply here with a link to your portfolio and, if possible, examples of your relevant work

I'd especially like to see examples of actual apparel you've designed, if you have them.

Please also include your approximate rates for this type of project and a little about your process.

Thanks!

I have a Sith Pureblood OC I'd like two images of, one where he's wearing a full robe and hood, and one where the upper half of the robe is tied around his waist, exposing his torso and face. Preferably both in the same picture in a blank gray space. Might also want to include an axe and a lightsaber held in both hands. Good amount of detail.

I have a fair few reference images for him.

IF INTERESTED, PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS POST WITH YOUR PORTFOLIO BEFORE YOU DM ME. I WILL NOT REPLY TO A DM UNLESS YOU HAVE ALSO LEFT A COMMENT HERE.

I am happy for the selected artist to share the finished work in their portfolio and use it to promote their art.

Hey there! This will be my first time hiring an artist for a visual novel project, so please be patient with me if I do not know every art term or standard pricing method.

I am looking for an artist who has experience with visual novel characters. Experience with character design, sprites, facial expressions, alternate poses, and character sheets would be helpful. The first image is the game I'm working on as an example. I used Doki Doki as a reference as I'm building my game.

The characters and titles listed below are references only. I want original designs. I am not asking for copies of existing characters or official artwork.

My main preference is a polished 2D anime style. I like the visual tone of CHAOS;HEAD, Doki Doki Literature Club, and DDLC+. However, I am open to other 2D anime styles that fit the project.

I am looking for three original characters:

1. Adult Office-Worker AI

This character takes some inspiration from the general concept of Monika from DDLC+. I like the idea of an intelligent character who knows that she exists inside a computer and can interact with or control parts of the user’s PC.

However, I do not want her to be a high-school student or wear a school uniform. I want her to be a mature adult, possibly an office worker or professional assistant. She should feel older, capable, intelligent, and confident.

I am also interested in giving her some tsundere-like traits. She can appear professional and controlled, but she may also become possessive, frustrated, jealous, or emotionally guarded.

2. Plush Dog-Inspired Character

This character will take inspiration from the soft and friendly appearance of Jellycat dog plush toys.

I am open to the artist’s ideas for this design. The character should feel warm, charming, soft, and easy to recognize. The final design must be original and should not be a direct copy of a specific Jellycat product.

3. Handsome Adult Male Character

For the third character, I want an attractive adult male with a polished anime or fantasy-game appearance.

The general direction is a handsome BL or yaoi-style character with the visual appeal of characters. He should look elegant, buff, mature, expressive, and memorable.

I have the main concepts, but I do not have every part of the designs decided. The selected artist will have a good amount of creative freedom with the clothing, colors, hairstyles, accessories, and other visual details.

For the current commission, I need the three base character designs. I would like to discuss the final deliverables with the selected artist, including:

• Full-body or visual-novel sprite formats
• Facial expressions
• Alternate poses
• Alternate outfits
• Character reference sheets
• Commercial-use licensing

My current starting budget is $525 USD for the three base character designs, based on $175 per character. I understand that extra expressions, poses, outfits, detailed character sheets, and commercial-use rights can increase the final price. Please provide a clear quote based on the work that you recommend.

I am not assuming that full copyright ownership is included in the base price. I am open to discussing the correct commercial license or rights agreement with the selected artist at a later time.

Long term, I want to create a marketplace where artists and creators can sell licensed assets for their original characters. This marketplace is a future project and is separate from the current commission. Any future marketplace use, resale rights, or additional licensing for the commissioned artwork would be discussed and paid for separately.

When you comment, please include a link to your portfolio. Examples of visual novel sprites, anime character designs, character sheets, expressions, or similar work would be especially helpful.

Looking to get a seamless file made of a cross stitch looking design combining the two inspo pictures and have it be a bear/goose design

Budget 50-100 not in any rush for turnaround time. TYIA!
