    I need a single, polished illustration of my frog persona—rendered in a realistic style—wearing sharp formal attire. Think a well-tailored suit that still feels natural on an amphibian body, with a confident yet serious look that conveys quiet authority rather than cuteness. The artwork will be used as my profile image across social media and gaming platforms, so it has to stand out at both thumbnail and full-size resolutions. Clean line work, nuanced textures on the skin, and a carefully lit scene will help the character pop. Feel free to bring your own artistic flair to the pose and background, provided the final mood remains serious and sophisticated. If this sounds exciting, let me see relevant samples of realistic animal or creature portraits you’ve done, and ...

    I’m looking to assemble a small creative team to produce a short animated teaser (30–60 seconds) for an original anime-style project called KingWorld. KingWorld is a large-scale fantasy/sci-fi story set on the world of Deia, a planet where humanity, beastmen, and powerful energy systems shape a complex political and spiritual conflict. The teaser will focus on cinematic atmosphere rather than full storytelling — dramatic shots, character reveals, and powerful visuals to introduce the world. I’m currently looking for: • Character artists (anime/manga style) • Concept/background artists (fantasy environments) • 2D animators (short cinematic sequences) • Possibly motion/compositing artists for final polish The goal is to create a visually compelling...

    I’m looking for a gifted illustrator who can turn a client’s story into a striking tattoo design. Portraits, symbols, characters—every style is in play, so feel free to follow your own creative instincts. Above all, I value artistic expression; I want to see ideas pushed beyond the obvious while still remaining wearable on skin. When you respond, focus on your experience in tattoo-specific illustration or adjacent fields where line quality, shading, and composition are critical. Links to finished tattoos or healed photos are ideal, but any evidence that you understand how artwork translates from screen to stencil will help. You’ll receive the concept, placement notes, and any reference images. In return I’ll need: • A clean line drawing suitable for st...

The bird must dazzle with vibrant reds and yellows, sport wings finished in an unmistakable glossy sheen, sing with a loud, powerful melody that instantly draws attention, and, above all, look built for soaring to impressive heights.

    I need a single, full-colour illustration in an unmistakably Anthropomorphic style: my rat-girl singer on a small, grimy stage in a smoke-tinged dive bar. The band behind her plays shoegaze, so everything should feel muted, washed-out and solemn. A reference sheet for the character will be supplied; her expression must read clearly melancholic—soft eyes, slight slump of the shoulders, microphone held close. Character details are the heart of this piece. Please give extra care to fur texture, whiskers, tail placement and worn clothing, while letting the background stay suggestive: flickering neon, half-empty glasses, scuffed floor, diffuse stage lights that barely cut through the haze. The palette can lean into dusky purples, dirty reds and pale blues to capture that shoegaze vibe. ...

If you have questions about canvas size or colour profile, just let me know—happy to agree on specs before you begin.

    I have the plot, key characters, and overall arc for a new series centred on Mask—an MMA prodigy dragged from the octagon into a brutal private-security unit called Carnage Squad. The story is driven first and foremost by high-impact action and combat, brought to life through traditional 2D anime. The mood shifts between dark, gritty realism and edge-of-your-seat thrills, yet still leaves room for those rare, inspirational sparks that keep viewers rooting for the hero inside the monster. What I now need is a production partner (or tightly-knit team) who can transform this written concept into animation that feels as sharp and visceral as the fights themselves. The immediate goal is a polished pilot episode that can double as a proof-of-concept for investors and streaming platforms. ...
