I’m building a new card game and now need a collection of high-quality, anime- realistic illustrations to bring each card to life. Characters and scenes are my first priority, but the full set will eventually include tools, scenes, and background images, so I’m looking for someone comfortable switching between those elements as we progress.

Style & mood
• Photorealistic or painterly realism that still feels vibrant and readable at trading-card size.
• Cohesive lighting and color so the deck feels like a single universe even when the subject matter shifts.

Character scope
The roster will include humans, fantasy creatures, and the occasional sleek robot or cyborg—variety is the point—so you’ll need the range to move from a heroic knight one day to a neon-lit android the next, all while maintaining the same visual language and quality bar.

Workflow & deliverables
1. For each card, I’ll supply a short brief (lore snippet, pose or mood reference, any key items).
2. You provide a concept sketch for approval.
3. Once green-lit, deliver the final 300-dpi RGB illustration as a layered PSD (or Procreate/Clip Studio equivalent) plus a flattened PNG ready to drop into the card template.

I’ll start with a small batch to confirm the look, then scale up. Consistent communication and the ability to hit deadlines are as important to me as raw artistic skill. If you love detailed, realistic digital painting and can keep characters fresh and expressive across multiple themes, let’s talk soon—I’m excited to see your portfolio.
