(Description made with AI so confirm details)
My medieval-fantasy graphic novel is ready for visuals, and the entire art direction centres on a “300-esque” look—dark, gritty, and cinematic. I need one consistent hand, not a studio, to carry that tone across roughly 50 double-page spreads over the next twelve months.
NO AI ART WILL BE USED. I want a real person working on this.
What you will be working toward:
The script is locked, page breakdowns are done, and I can share sample pages from my previous illustrator so you can match panel sizes and pacing. Characters and environments must feel tangible and battle-worn: detailed, realistic anatomy; textured armour and weathered stone; dramatic lighting; and colour palettes that lean into shadows rather than pastels.
Key expectations
• 50 finished spreads delivered in high-resolution layered PSD (or Clip Studio/Procreate files) plus flattened TIFF/PNG for print.
• A steady schedule—about four spreads per month—so I can sync lettering, layout checks, and print prep.
• Consistency in brushwork, palette, and proportions from the first page to the last.
• Openness to brief art-direction notes; turnarounds on revisions within the agreed milestone window.
Acceptance criteria
Artwork is considered approved when each spread matches the provided thumbnails, follows the “300-esque” style guide, exports cleanly at 600 DPI CMYK, and passes a side-by-side consistency scan against earlier pages.
I value clear communication and will supply prompt feedback, reference boards, and detailed scene descriptions before every milestone. If this pace and tone excite you, let’s talk timing and start dates so we can keep the year-long schedule on track. If you ever need more time, tell me. If you think the original timeline is too tight. Tell me. Do not farm it out to someone else.
