I've been getting some decent offers for freelance work over the past week, and my recent medical bills have inspired me to increase my income, so I've decided to take up a limited amount of freelance illustration for the time being. Unfortunately I no longer have an up to date portfolio, so this is where you come in...
I need six people who want to be turned (or have their model turned) into a custom illustrated image. I will be producing two samples each of three different styles: art nouveau, anime cartoon, and basic cartoon. The people who participate will need to give me permission to use both their photograph and the finished illustration in my online portfolio or on public forums for publicity/business purposes (this means you'll have to be authorized to give me such permission, in the event that you are not the creator of the photograph or the model pictured). In return, you will be able to use the image any way you like... as a logo, on your Christmas cards, tattooed on your backside, etc.
I will be producing these samples over the next week or so in my free time (ha ha). In the event that many people are interested, preference will be given to people that replied earlier, people that I will enjoy drawing, people that I think have a use for such an image, and people that prefer the styles that I still have available.
If you're interested, go ahead and email me at julia at grim (hyphen) kitten dot com with the subject 'portfolio project'. Please include your full name, online contact information, your preferred illustration style, what you think you might use the image for, and one or two sample photographs (that you own the rights to). I will get back to interested participants as soon as possible.
Here are some small samples of my work, for reference:
