Looking for Artist (Resolved) In need of chapter illustrations!

[Jocelyn_Uasal]

Hiya, I'm sure I could use fiverr but I'd rather check here first. I like the community.

I'm looking to add an illustration for my chapters, currently I've just got two out right now and I'm finishing up chapter 3, but of course I have a specific style in mind. I own a LOT of old books, and in many of them you'll find black & white, sketch-style scenes/portraits, like the ones below (Moby Dick, To Build A Fire, and Persuasion), and I'm hoping to find someone that can replicate this old style. Definitely no AI.

Currently I can afford $50 per piece, so $100 for the two chapters. Thanks, let me know!

I'd like to try, but what I can show you are sketches in manga-style (coz those are what I have at the moment.)

Sure!

Ah, I already included it in my first post. Those are pencil sketches; I only used a few additional filters in Photoshop to enhance the 'old sepia' style color of the work. Though, I think that to achieve those old-school novel in-chaps, it's good to use a technical pen, mixed with pencils, to bring out the lines.

They're cute! If you think you can do a scene without any of the anime or manga influence then that'd be perfect, I'll DM you!

Well, let's try it. If you don't like the result, it's free.

Never that! No free labor here I'll always pay ?

And I'm one not to accept payment if customer is not satisfied, so...

I don't do exactly that style, but I can work with pencils and graphite powder and perhaps something like this would be close enough for the vibes you are looking for?

It's really good and pretty close but I think I'm looking for more towards realism. Thanks for responding!
