Premium Children's Book Illustrator Required

About the project

Children's Book Illustrator Needed (Consistent Cinematic 3D Style) – Ongoing Series I'm creating a premium children's book series and am looking for a talented illustrator who can either closely match or improve upon an existing visual style. This is not a project starting from scratch. I already have: Complete manuscript Storyboard for every page Character designs Existing illustrations Detailed art direction Reference images Your job is to create polished final illustrations that remain visually consistent throughout the book. Style Looking for a warm, cinematic, highly detailed 3D illustrated style similar to modern animated feature films. Requirements: Strong facial expressions and emotion Consistent characters from page to page Beautiful lighting Rich environments Excellent composition High attention to detail Child-friendly but premium quality Characters The primary recurring characters include: Bubba (young boy) Daddy RJ (golden retriever) Additional recurring supporting characters Character consistency is extremely important. What You'll Receive Full manuscript Storyboard Existing illustrations Character references Detailed notes for every page Revision instructions where needed Deliverables High-resolution illustrations Print-ready quality Layered source files (PSD or equivalent) Commercial rights transferred upon final payment Important Many scenes already exist and simply need improvements or revisions. For example: Increase emotional expressions Improve facial animation Refine lighting Maintain identical composition Keep props, backgrounds, and layouts unchanged while improving character acting Attention to detail is critical. This is an ongoing project. This is the first book in a planned series, so there is significant future work available for the right illustrator. To Apply Please include: Portfolio of children's illustrations Examples of expressive character artwork Any cinematic or stylized 3D illustrations Your estimated cost per full-page illustration Estimated turnaround time Confirm you are comfortable matching an existing style rather than creating a new one. Budget: Please provide your quote for the entire project and your per-illustration rate.
