I am looking for a talented artist/illustrator to create 36 unique dragon images for the metaphysical card deck "Wisdom of the Dragon."

About the project:

The "Wisdom of the Dragon" deck is a mystical tool for self-discovery, inspired by ancient knowledge, magic, archetypes, and symbolism. It consists of 36 cards, each embodying a unique dragon that represents a specific energy, state, power, or aspect of life (intuition, protection, wisdom, karma, transformation, etc.). The deck is divided into 6 "suits" (elements) with 6 cards in each.

These are not just illustrations — each dragon is a living symbol, a bearer of a message and energy, and it is important to convey this in the visual image.

What is needed:

• 36 detailed illustrations of dragons, each with its own theme, symbolism, and atmosphere.

• Design of the overall card back in the style of the deck, with a mystical aesthetic.

• Two additional cards that should harmoniously fit into the style of the deck:

1. A circular diagram divided into 36 sectors with numbers (1–36);

2. A circular diagram with sectors containing keywords.

Desires for style and visual concept:

1. Artistic style — deep, mystical, detailed. The images should convey strength, magic, and wisdom, without cartoonish or simplified forms.

2. Dragons — not classical monsters, but ancient beings that embody higher laws of existence:

• Some of them are ephemeral, created from energy, mist, light, or shadow.

• Others are material, with patterns or magical symbols on their scales.

• Their appearance should correspond to the theme of the card (for example, the Dragon of Power — massive, with golden symbols that evoke respect).

3. Symbolism — it is important to include signs of the elements, magical elements, and natural phenomena. The use of runes, alchemical symbols, and ancient alphabets is possible.

4. Atmosphere — the illustrations should evoke emotions and a sense of the presence of something greater.

5. Color palette — according to the elements:

• Water — deep blues, turquoise, smooth lines.

• Fire — red, gold, contrasting colors.

• Metal — silver, bronze, geometric shapes.

• Air — transparency, lightness, dynamics.

• Ether — glow, pearlescent shades.

• Earth — muted, smoky, contrasting effects.

6. No "cartoonish" or Eastern snake-like dragons — the style should be deep, strong, and mystical.

7. Visual integrity — despite the variety of images, the deck should look like a cohesive whole.

Technical requirements:

• Resolution: 300 dpi (for print);

• Format: PNG or TIFF;

• Size: minimum 2500x3500 pixels (vertical orientation);

• Quantity: 36 illustrations (partial collaboration is possible – for example, a test order for 1–2 cards), 1 card back, and 2 additional cards;

• Work stages: preliminary discussion of concepts before final drawing.

Card back:

• Should reflect the overall style of the deck and create a sense of mystery and deep knowledge.

More detailed information will be provided after agreeing on collaboration.

I am looking for an artist who:

• Feels the magical aesthetic, understands symbolism and meanings;

• Can create detailed atmospheric illustrations;

• Can offer interesting solutions while considering the overall concept.

If you resonate with this project — please send examples of your work in a similar style and your collaboration terms in private messages.

Deadlines and payment will be discussed additionally.

👋 Good day! I am very interested in your project — the theme of dragons and metaphysics is especially close to me. I am well acquainted with esotericism, symbolism, and transformational themes, so I can easily capture the mood and depth of each image. I understand the importance of each card not just being beautiful, but also carrying energy, meaning, and a cohesive atmosphere.

🎨 I work in an artistic style with detail, and I love creating mystical images with depth and mood. I am ready to create a test illustration to see how well we align in vision.
