Hi, I'm a writer working on a novel and I need a series of professional illustrations. They should be A5 landscape views, and ideally readers would see them on eBook readers or tablets. The sketch below is the first illustration I want to do. There should be three faces that we see clearly. The style should be realistic and lifelike, but distorted by the way the pictures are drawn. So there can be obvious brush strokes, but we should still feel the person on the other side (I'm attaching examples). Of course we know it's fiction, but we feel this is a real person. I'll provide photos to make this easier. What I want to avoid are cartoon-like characters -- no matter how good the detail is, it will still look like a cartoon. The mood/tone can be anywhere from important and symbolic to dark and cynical, and although some illustrations (like this one) seem disturbing, they do reinforce the positive feminist morals in the story. Please give me a quote to turn this sketch into a picture. Please also send me some of your work with this kind of style that I'm looking for. I would like to get a lot of illustrations, so I'm really hoping to find a reliable professional here.
