Hi! I’m looking to commission a portrait in a style very similar to the attached reference piece, which (used to) hang in the set of the podcast "Bad Friends".

I really like the abstract linework, minimalist facial features, and the soft blue/red color palette. I also like the soft/rounded corners of the design elements. I find them related to Mr Doddle's work, and also reminds me to Keith Haring, which I love, and I even wouldn't mind if the final piece also were influenced by this last artist (like adding the barking dog among the outer doodles?)... 

I'm looking for a new original portrait inspired by this visual style and composition, but using my 11yo nephew as the subject/model.

I don't want to go crazy with the budget, minimum is $35 but the ceiling is kind of open (tied to common sense though). I value your work and will happily pay for it.

Here are some images for reference:

Hi, I'm looking for a comic artist to help me create a comic to surprise my 11 yo nephew.

I want it to tell the story of our past holidays. The idea is to create a funny comic that helps us remember that trip.

While I'm open to anything and I know that I need help "landing" the concept, I already know some things:

- The story would be narrated by a squirrel that for some reason TBD, follows us everywhere but incognito. There where TONS of squirrels in this place and I call my nephew "little squirrel", so it fits perfect here.

- Tone should be funny, wholesome and adventurous, with a emotional undertone

- I want to include some moments/events from the trip: us on our first big finish trip on a bot, him catching his first big fish (another guy caught a shark), me tripping in the beach and landing on my ass, turtles in a turtle sanctuary and a few internal jokes/memes...

As you can see, I have a general idea of what I want, but I need someone who can help me put everything together and then draw it.

Please keep in mind that this is 100% a personal project, not a commercial one. I'm happy to pay but this is not for profit 😄

If you'd like to help me with this personal project, I'd love to talk with you about what we could do and how much it would cost.

Thanks!
