I am commissioning a fully-coloured, pen-and-ink illustration that turns a bedtime story I invented for my now-28-year-old son into a piece of “lost” gaming memorabilia. The piece should look exactly like the front of a Nintendo Gameboy cartridge box for an imaginary Pokémon “Watermelon Version,” starring the fictional Pokemon , I named Peekapocka Hootie. Style & palette • Traditional pen and ink is a must, finished with bright, saturated greens, blues, reds and yellows that echo classic Pokémon packaging. • The illustration should feel period-accurate to late-1990s Gameboy box art—clean lines, bold outline work and a playful, high-energy composition. Mandatory front-panel elements • Nintendo Gameboy logo (original vertical orientation) • Official Pokémon logo in English katakana or standard latin type—whichever fits best visually • A dynamic, central illustration of Peekapocka Hootie (I’ll send exact physical details, powers and any turn-around sketches once we start) • A small watermelon emoji, visually indicating the cartridge as the “ Watermelon” version. Everything else—rating marks, Nintendo seal, Japanese text flourishes—can be added if you enjoy that level of authenticity, but the four items above must be unmistakable. Deliverable • One original, physical artwork on quality illustration board sized roughly to a scaled up Gameboy box front (≈24 in × 28 in) plus a high-resolution scan (600 dpi TIFF or PNG). • Safe, well-protected shipping of the physical piece to the United States (address provided after award). I’m looking for someone who loves classic Pokémon aesthetics and has proven experience with pen-and-ink colour work. If that sounds like you, let me know how you’d approach capturing the nostalgia and I’ll share the complete character brief for Peekapocka Hootie.

This is such a fun and meaningful idea turning a personal story into a nostalgic Gameboy-style Pokémon box is a brilliant concept. I understand the importance of getting the late-90s Pokémon feel right—bold ink lines, energetic composition, and that classic saturated color palette. I’ve worked on illustration pieces where style accuracy and character personality are key, and I can bring Peekapocka Hootie to life in a way that feels authentic and collectible. I can create a fully hand-crafted pen-and-ink illustration, carefully colored and composed to match original Gameboy box art, including all required elements. I’ll also provide a high-res scan ready for print. Timeline would be around 5–7 days for completion. You can view my work here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12
