Semi-Realistic Bird Merch Illustrations

I’m preparing a new line of T-shirts, mugs and other print-on-demand items and need a set of digital, semi-realistic bird illustrations that look striking on fabric and ceramic alike.

The collection should cover:
• Local species people might spot in their own backyard
• Exotic species that add vibrant colour and character
• Endangered and native birds to help raise awareness

Artwork requirements
— Clean, semi-realistic digital style (not full photo-realism, not cartoon)
— High-resolution, print-ready files (minimum 300 DPI)
— Transparent background PNGs plus layered source files (PSD or AI) so I can adjust colours or scale without loss
— Consistent palette and proportion across all birds to keep the range cohesive

I’ll provide reference photos and a rough mood board once we start; you’re welcome to suggest interesting poses or compositions that show off each bird’s key features.

Please include examples of previous semi-realistic wildlife work and let me know how many unique birds you can comfortably illustrate within a typical two-week window. Looking forward to collaborating on artwork that both captivates customers and champions bird conservation.
