The Ducatista Icon

Looking for an illustrator, possibly working in tandem with AI. Need to create a children's book with an approximate total of 24-32 pages. The books will be produced in 4 languages. The book needs to be made in a format ready for publication and for listing on Amazon by the author. All rights will be transferred from the illustrator to the author. The project involves work over several months to create 5-7 books. An example of one book will be provided, along with examples of characters and plots. The plan for the illustrator is to create with the author's editing and agreement on all points -> one complete book with texts in 4 languages in approximately 1 month +-.

Marina, I apologize for the delay. Thank God we are back. Now for the work, if you are free, of course. The first volume is the English version, different cover, everything else as it was, dividers, epigraphs. Seven Spectra, MARYNA TOLMACHOVA If possible, make the title as the AI advised me. Typography of the "Seven Spectra" series) 1. Font style (Vibe): Main title: A modern, elegant serif font is needed. It should look magical but not "childish." References (free): Cinzel Decorative, Bellefair, Playfair Display, Cormorant Garamond. References (paid/Adobe): Lovelace, Orpheus Pro, Recoleta. Important: Avoid standard fonts like Times New Roman or overly ornate "handwritten" fonts that are hard to read. 2. Composition and effects: Placement: The title "Seven Spectra" — in the upper third of the image. The author's name — at the bottom, under the characters' feet. Texture: Apply a light gold foil effect or a soft gradient from light beige to golden on the letters. This will add a premium feel. Glow (Outer Glow): Add a very soft, barely noticeable glow around the letters (color — pale lemon or white) so that the text "stands out" from the purple background and becomes readable. 3. Working with details: Kerning (spacing between letters): Increase the letter spacing in the title and author's name. "Stretched" inscriptions look more fashionable and expensive now. Ligatures: If possible, use decorative ligatures between letters (for example, connect S and T) so that the title looks like a unique logo. 4. Text hierarchy: Title: The largest. Series (Book 1): In a thin, simple sans-serif font right above or below the title. Author's name: Medium size, in all caps, with a large letter spacing. Font: A beautiful, slender serif font is needed (these are the little lines at the ends of letters). Don't take something ordinary like in newspapers; choose something elegant, like on the covers of Western bestsellers. Spacing: Let the letters "breathe." Don't stick them too close together; make more space between them (this is currently the main trend in fashion). Text color: Don't just make it white. Try ivory or soft gold. The letters should slightly glow to be easily readable on the purple background. Placement: Title ("Seven Spectra") — at the top, large. Author's name — at the bottom, in smaller letters, but also with large spacing between them. "Volume" effect: Ask her to make it so that the lavender branches or the edges of the magical whirlwind slightly "overlap" the letters. As if the title is inside this world, not just stuck on top. And the most important advice: Ask her to make the title larger. On Amazon, people look at covers the size of a postage stamp. If the title is small and "modest," no one will notice it. Is that clearer? If she asks, "What style should I do?" just say: "The style of expensive modern fantasy, focusing on elegance and airiness." She will understand everything! So, shall we send such a task or add something else? There may be errors in the responses of the artificial intelligence. I really don't understand what he is writing about.

Task: You need to draw 3 vector pizzas (for printing). Style: Line art (like in the photo). Crust: Not perfectly round, but "alive," voluminous (like Neapolitan pizza or American). Sizes and slices: 25 cm - 6 slices. 30 cm - 8 slices. 35 cm - 10 slices. • Toppings: Place schematic ingredients on the slices (pepperoni, mushrooms, greens, shrimp, jalapeños, etc.). The ratio of ingredients should be proportional to the size of the pizza. Requirements: Vector format (AI/EPS/SVG) in curves. Uniform style for all three sizes. Please send examples of illustrations Indicate the estimated cost and deadline for completion. Additionally: I have added style examples to the task. These pizzas will reflect the actual sizes of the pizzas so that visitors can visually understand the difference and choose their desired one.

Good day, I need a professional specialist for the development of a similar game, I am attaching the field below. I don't like it, it needs to be made modern in a different style, more urban/lively (possibly by a cinematographer). For me to choose you, please complete a test task. Using the example of the State of Texas, create a product card (that is, like a designer video full game field), but for the example to demonstrate yourself based on this state. What I received below does not appeal to me very much; something better needs to be done.

Project Description Looking for a 2D Game VFX Artist / Sprite FX Artist for a browser-based 2D MMORPG in the dark fantasy style. I already have combat animations implemented in PixiJS, so no coding is required. I need help specifically with graphic VFX assets: improving existing sprites or suggesting a new effect with new animation frames. I will integrate everything into PixiJS myself, so I only need high-quality graphic files and a clear frame structure from the performer.What Needs to Be Done Work is needed on combat effects: sword hit effect; magic hit effect; block effect; shield impact; shield break; miss / dodge effect; dust; speedlines; glow; particles; slash trail; magic trail; impact burst; arcane portal / magic dodge; crit / lucky / counter visual effects.There Are Two Types of Tasks1. Improve Current Sprites For example, there is already a ready effect, but it looks weak. It needs to: be made brighter; have cleaner outlines; remove excess noise; enhance glow / impact / particles; make the effect more readable in combat; maintain approximate size and direction so I can easily replace the file in PixiJS.2. Suggest a New Version of the Effect If the current effect is weak, a new animation variant can be suggested. For example: different sword slash; better hit impact; stronger shield break; more beautiful magic block; more understandable miss/dodge effect; new portal effect for the mage; more dynamic dust/speedline effect. In this case, a set of frames or a sprite sheet needs to be prepared, which I will then connect in PixiJS myself.What Is NOT Needed No need to: write PixiJS code; build React; integrate assets into the game; change combat logic; draw characters; create 3D; make a complete animation system. Only 2D VFX sprites / frames / sprite sheets are needed.Format of the Result Assets need to be delivered in the format: PNG or WebP; transparent background; separate frames or sprite sheet; preferably preview GIF/MP4; no text; no background; with proper file names; preferably source file: PSD / Krita / Spine / After Effects / Figma, if available. Example of names:sword-hit-impact-01.png sword-hit-impact-02.png sword-hit-impact-03.png shield-break-frame-01.png shield-break-frame-02.png shield-break-frame-03.png mage-dodge-portal-open-01.png mage-dodge-portal-open-02.png mage-dodge-portal-close-01.png warrior-miss-dust-01.png warrior-miss-speedline-01.pngImportant for PixiJS Assets must be convenient for further integration into PixiJS: transparent background; clear edges; no excess white outlines; the effect must be well readable on a dark background; preferably the same canvas size for frames of the same animation; the center of the effect must be stable between frames; frames must be numbered; if it's a sprite sheet — information about frame size is needed.
