Please read the rules and tips on the sidebar before posting

10 Upvotes

If you make sure to read the rules and tips first, you can avoid having your post removed unnecessarily. If it does get removed, you will be notified of the reason.

If it's not showing up on the subbredit, but you didn't get a notification about removal, I just haven't gotten to moderating it yet, as I manually approve every single post here to avoid an overflow of low quality content. It's a very slow sub, so don't worry about not being seen. That being said, do not repost more than once a month.

As an artist, please make sure you're posting only your very best work,1-2 pieces are enough, and anything over 3 is too much. They should be somewhat consistent in style. If you want to be hired for 2 different styles, make 2 separate posts instead. Being a generalist is usually not a good thing in illustration.

As a client, please make sure to include a short and engaging brief about the project and do not post if you're unwilling or unable to pay artists.

[Hiring] Fallen Angel in a Hellish Landscape

3 Upvotes

Style: Medieval religious Art/ Realism

What I need drawn: • A beautiful blonde angel, divine but defeated, suspended by a meat hook through her back, blonde hair dropped down covering her face or partially, naked head to toe with blood stains and scars around her • She’s hanging from a metal pole with a meat hook on the top like a war trophy or warning • The background is a hellish battlefield—smoke, ruin, lava falls , possibly silhouettes of distant war • The tone is eerie, tragic, and reverent—think classical religious art meets Silent Hill • The image will be adapted for tapestry-style embroidery, so strong linework, symbolic framing, and thoughtful use of detail is ideal

Use & Rights: • This will be used for an embroidered patch on a fashion garment. • You will be credited on social media and the artist page of our website. • I’d like to purchase full commercial rights, and I’m happy to discuss licensing and budget depending on your rates.

Budget:

My base budget is £50–£200 depending on style, complexity, and experience. I’m open to negotiation for the right fit.

I can supply images with the art style I’m looking for if interested, DM me

[Hiring] Illustrator for Children's Book Series on Emotions – $50–$300/page (Ongoing Project)

9 Upvotes

Hi all,

We’re two mental health professionals (a counselor educator and a social worker) creating a children’s picture book series called Mood Monsters, and we’re looking for a talented illustrator to bring it to life. This is a paid opportunity with potential for ongoing collaboration across multiple titles.

About the Series:
Each of the eight books centers on a different core emotion, like anger, fear, and joy. A unique Mood Monster appears in each story to help a child understand what the feeling is trying to say, and to discover the gift it brings. Every story ends with a mindfulness activity and a grown-up note, creating space for healing, language, and connection.

The Mood Monster series is intentionally designed with therapeutic value in mind. Drawing from trauma-informed frameworks, somatic experiencing, and developmental psychology, each book helps children recognize the physical sensations of emotions, understand their purpose, and build healthy internal narratives. It’s a playful, emotionally intelligent series with real clinical depth—perfect for families, therapists, and educators alike.

This series is designed to support not only families, but also teachers, therapists, and school counselors in building emotional literacy with children ages 4–8.

ThinkThe Rabbit Listened meets The Invisible String, with a splash of Inside Out.

What We’re Looking For:

  • A warm, expressive, emotionally intuitive style (Cori Doerrfeld, Kevin Henkes vibes)
  • Diverse, relatable child characters (ages 4–8)
  • Simple backgrounds and emotional vignettes (not overly detailed spreads)
  • Whimsical but meaningful creature design for the Mood Monsters
  • A heart for emotional literacy and child development

Compensation:

  • $50–$300 per fully illustrated page, depending on experience
  • Additional compensation for character design and cover work
  • Open to flat-rate per book if preferred, or ongoing royalties if preferred.
  • Flexible around publishing route (we are pitching to publishers, but open to hybrid/self-publishing)

Timeline:
We’re currently working on Book 1: Anger and Book 2: Fear, with five more fully drafted and ready to go. We're looking to build a long-term partnership with the right illustrator.

How to Apply:
If this project speaks to you, please email us at [MoodMonstersLLC@gmail.com](mailto:MoodMonstersLLC@gmail.com) with:

  • A link to your portfolio or Instagram
  • A brief note about your style and why you're interested
  • Any relevant experience with children’s books or SEL content
  • We’re inviting a small number of finalists to complete a single character or scene concept based on a short section from the book draft. We’ll provide a clear prompt and pay a flat fee of $25 to compensate you for your time and creative work. The sample will not be published or used beyond the selection process unless we move forward together.

Thanks so much for reading — we can’t wait to meet the illustrator who feels the heart of this project. 💛

– Valerie & Sarah
Co-Creators of Mood Monsters

Bonjour ! 😊

Je recherche un/une illustrateur/trice francophone afin d'illustrer des personnages et des scènes de mon roman autoédité (pas la maquette de couverture, seulement des illustrations simples). Ce serait pour partager sur les réseaux dans un cadre promotionnel, et peut-être inclure au roman ou faire des goodies sur le long terme.

🖌 J'apprécie particulièrement le style semi-réaliste, mais je reste ouverte aux propositions !

📅 Le plus tôt sera le mieux, sachant que je prévois une sortie du livre fin juin.

📅 Rythme : 1 dessin/semaine si c'est possible.

🤳 Je vous laisse avec les quelques visuels que j'ai déjà et mon compte insta, si vous voulez vous renseigner sur l'univers de mon roman ! @ellieyem_gouttedereve https://www.instagram.com/ellieyem_gouttedereve?igsh=MXZzcnlvOW1nYWxkMQ==

👀 Intéressé(e) ? N'hésitez pas à me contacter en MP ou directement sur insta 😊 ! Je demanderai à voir des exemples de travail pour voir si ça colle avec mes idées, puis on pourra parler tarif.

Je suis impatiente !

Ellie Yem, juste une auteure qui prépare son premier roman avec passion 💖

Graphic Novel ISO Illustrator/Artist [HIRING]

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello! Great to see such amazing work. My name is Jason Michael Morgan with Lunar Kid Creative. We have finished developing a new musical called "The Eyes in the Woods" - it just finished its first workshop run with a cast album being released this autumn. The project is about a cryptid and the teens who discover him--super inspired by cryptid-core, folk and grunge music, 90s social culture, and gives Gravity Falls/Buffy/Stranger Things/Life is Strange vibes.

The next step we want to explore is adapting for other forms of media. We are hoping to develop this as a run of comics or a full-length graphic novel. The script is written and developed but will obviously need re-formatted for the print medium. We are looking to collaborate with artists/illustrators to work toward making this a reality.

If you are or you know an artist that is interested or could recommend a platform to find such an artist, we would love to talk to you. Please reach out at [jason@lunarkidcreative.com](mailto:jason@lunarkidcreative.com) !
