My brother proposed to his fiancé on a rainy day on the Pacific Avenue Boardwalk bridge in Virginia Beach. As a wedding gift, I’d like to give them a painting of that moment. I have photos of the area if needed, as well as photos of the kind of style I was thinking of, but I’m very open to ideas.

I’d like a short, 2-D animated wedding invitation that feels personal from the very first frame. You’ll receive clear reference photos of the bride and groom, and I’d like you to turn them into lively caricature versions of themselves—fun and slightly exaggerated, yet still recognisably them. The finished invitation should flow through the key information our guests need: • the important dates and locations of each function • the exact timings and any brief RSVP or dress-code notes we decide on together Beyond that core content, I’ll share a few small design cues once we start—preferred colour accents, a motif that runs through our printed stationery, and a short background track we already love. Please handle the full process: illustr...
I’m building Trace Protocol, an 18-card cyberpunk micro-game whose visuals are just as important as its mechanics. I need every card face to feel like a comic-book panel lit with a neon-soaked, futuristic palette. When the eighteen front faces are laid out in order they must lock together into one seamless “data path” illustration without losing individual readability for icons and rules—a balance of style and clear tabletop UI/UX. The reverse side of every card will carry a full-bleed character image that represents the Runner To keep the scope crystal clear, here’s what I’ll look for in the final hand-off: • 18 front-face card designs that connect edge-to-edge into one continuous illustration • 1 universal card back featuring character a...
2D, vektörel ve isometrik bir karaktere ihtiyacım var. Isometrik karakterin tam çalışması için 8 ayrı yönde 30 derece açı ile çalışılmalı. Tasarım minimalist olacak; gereksiz detaylardan arındırılmış, sade ama etkili çizgiler tercih ediyorum. Temada özellikle “chibi style” havası istiyorum: büyük baş–küçük gövde oranı, sevimli yüz ifadeleri ve canlı renkler karakterin ruhunu yansıtmalı. Poz olarak karakter koşarken tasarlanacak; dinamik bir hareket ve akıcı bir duruş beklentim var. Örnek 1-2 görsel vereceğim, benzer tarzda olmasını istiyorum. Eğer tasarım ve animasyon istediğimiz gibi olur ise 10 karakter ve farklı animasyonlar da çalışılacak. Teslimat: • Kaynak ...

I have a fresh product concept that needs a visual identity full of energy and charm. I’m aiming for a playful, colorful look, but expressed through a palette of soft pastels rather than loud primaries. The first milestone is a set of three logos built around a Greek temple dog in a child-friendly simple style. The dog should carry a lantern, and I want to use the dog with lantern in some settings and the lantern on its own in others. NB: If I wanted AI slop I could do this myself. Please at least look at what you generate so I don't get dogs holding lanterns with their back legs or other useless content. I don't want any temple iconography on the dog, just a clean icon I can use on my site. The lantern that the dog is holding has to be the same when seen on its own. The...
I’m running a new marketing campaign and need a single, polished illustration of a “friendly” Grim Reaper to act as the brand’s mascot. Think classic cartoon style rather than anime or modern comic art—smooth, expressive line work, vintage character charm, and an inviting personality despite the spooky theme. The palette should stay on the darker, muted side so it feels atmospheric, yet the skull must sport a warm, welcoming grin rather than anything menacing. Picture the character standing upright, comfortably holding his signature scythe in one hand while the other grips a blank sign or placard. I’ll be adding custom text to that sign later, so please leave it empty and clearly readable. Deliverables • Final artwork as an editable vector f...
I’m putting together a full set of Twitch emotes and need both static PNGs and short-burst animated versions in a bright, cartoonish style. The pack will cover the three core emotions my community uses most—happy, sad, and angry—so each expression should be instantly readable even at 28×28 px. Static files can come in the usual 28×28, 56×56, and 112×112 sizes, while the animated versions should follow Twitch’s GIF/APNG requirements and keep the motion snappy (2–3 frames per second or a quick 1-second loop is perfect). Consistent line weight, a limited but vibrant color palette, and transparent backgrounds are all important. When everything is finished, I’ll need: • Individual PNGs for each static emote • Matching sh...

Logo for a snow cone stand called Bahama Llama Shaved Ice. It should be colorful and fun. The working concept is a llama on the beach, laid back in a beach chair, sunglasses propped up on his forehead and holding a white cup with his bottom feet, with colored shaved ice above the rim of the cup, and perhaps his front feet behind his head like he's relaxing. Or, maybe his back legs are crossed on the chair and one of his front legs (hoof) is holding the snow cone. He is looking at the camera with a relaxed, chill, satisfied grin on his face.
