This is a beautiful concept. Illustrated folktales done in a realistic style can become a truly timeless book if the storytelling and visual language stay consistent across all stories. I specialize in illustration and book design, so I can help deliver the full package you’re describing: realistic illustrations paired with clean, engaging layouts that feel like one cohesive volume rather than separate pieces. My approach would be: • Develop a consistent visual style (palette, lighting, and character proportions) across all 11–15 stories • Create culturally respectful, research-based environments, clothing, and landscapes • Design each spread so the text and illustration complement each other naturally • Prepare the entire book as a press-ready file for print and digital marketing assets Deliverables will include: • Press-ready PDF (CMYK with bleed) • Layered source files (PSD/Procreate) • 300 dpi images for marketing and promotion Timeline for a project of this size would typically fall within your target range of about 6–8 weeks depending on feedback rounds.
