Illustrations for a fantasy style book

  • Status: Closed
  • Prize: €80
  • Entries Received: 16
  • Winner: cocier

Contest Brief

Hi there,

I am looking for an appropriation of the design of my characters in your style. The work will be to bring me illustrations that will be used in a book to conclude an event, or accompany a poem etc.
The contest prize is for one illustration, knowing that the contest will offer several illustrations to complete the entire book. Number of illustrations to discuss.

The style of the illustrations is based on a unique style, very Egyptian, ancient art, rough, blurred. Watercolor accepted but I prefer black, shade of gray.
NO REALISTIC DESIGN, COMICS/MANGA STYLE REALLY APPRECIATED. Also like Abstract art.

The illustration should contain my two main characters, the already designed example is in the attached files under the name ''illustrationexample". The illustration can be landscape or portrait format, detailed. Why not try to do something else with the two characters to make you stand out. ;)

Abraham needs to be entirely designed, please refer to the draft paper, which is the closest to what I am looking for.
Ishamael has a tanned skin unlike the digital model, do not take into account the clothes.

You have ''carte blanche'' to do this illustration draft. Do preferably a draft that will help me to decide, and you will not waste too much time if the design does not please me. The winner will have to bring me the finished illustration. And especially to interest you for future illustrations.

I am sure available at any time for any rectification, precision.

      Hello, could you rate # 28 and leave a comment?

      I still have time and I want to know what you would like to change, maybe you want my version of the same image that everyone has done.
      Thank you.

    UPDATE : I put one more reference for Abraham's face, that's what I have trouble for each entry, it remains very simple, basic. It's not because he's neutral that he does not feel anything. He is hypnotized, imprisoned by the veil by a curse. Maybe it can help. The hair can be short like you can see in ''ReefsIshandAb''. I really need their faces to be unique,
    recognizable.
    Thanks to all for your work !

    Let me see if I understood correctly, you want a design of your characters in our style and we have to do the same illustration that you attached as "illustrationexample"?

      Hi, you have already the basics for the characters, you must adapt them to your style. So yes, you're right ! It is quite possible to change the format (landscape, portrait). The model for the illustration requested for the contest is '' illustrationexample '' as you understood. The example will be one of the illustrations of the book already defined.

    Hi, the final illustration is to be done digitally or traditionally?

      Traditionally is preferable (and then you will scan it) but digital works too

    Hello, wanted to ask there seemed to be two styles on the style references. Do you wish to combine the styles or do you wish for two options of the illustration?

      Hello! I like the idea of combining the styles, but if you have to pick one, go for "refsAbandIsh.png". Thank you!
