Freelance Children’s Book Illustrator

I wrote a children’s book called “Stick Tales – Magical Wishes for My Little Sister” for my niece. The story is narrated by my sister’s dog, Cooper, who passed away. After Cooper’s passing, my sister and her husband learned they were expecting a baby. The book is told from Cooper’s perspective as he turns sticks from his walks into magical wands, each with a special wish for his new baby sister. The project requires a custom character illustration of Cooper, a yellow lab retriever, with variations showing different facial expressions and funny poses. I also need illustrations of my niece with several expressions and poses, as well as single illustrations of my sister and her husband. A slightly more realistic illustration style with a soft touch is preferred, and I’ve provided a reference image for style inspiration. The work is for a personal project, and I’m ready to hire someone to help bring these characters and the story to life.

Budget range:
Simple project ($30 – 250 USD)

Examples:
For this story I think a slightly more realistic illustration style would be best but with a touch of the softness shown in the attached photo
