I’m looking for a skilled digital illustrator or line art illustrator to collaborate on an adult-themed graphic storybook titled The First Brother in the Mob.

Style: Noir-inspired, cinematic, expressive line art or bold digital illustration
Scope: Approximately 20–25 illustrated pages plus cover design
Mood: Dark, stylish, tense—with emphasis on character emotion and atmosphere

Budget: Negotiable based on experience, style, and scope

Ideal Candidate:

Strong visual storytelling skills, especially in crime, noir, or historical genres
