I'm looking for a talented illustrator to create original black-and-white illustrations for an escape game book composed of 24 enigmas. The book is currently being designed by the game designer (me), and illustrations will need to match precisely the sketches and layout specifications provided.
Scope of Work
The project involves approximately 20–24 illustrations. The exact format is still being finalized and will be one of the following options — or a combination:
- Full-page illustration (single page per enigma)
- Double-page spread illustration (across two facing pages)
- Inline/flow illustrations (smaller, independent visuals integrated within the text layout)
The chosen format will be confirmed before work begins. Your ability to adapt to the selected layout is essential.
Requirements
- Black and white illustrations only (no color)
- 300 DPI, print-ready files (PDF/PNG/TIFF)
- Must follow the game designer's sketches and visual specifications precisely — creative input is welcome, but accuracy to the provided layout is non-negotiable
Art style is flexible and open — please share your portfolio so we can align on a direction together
Experience with book illustration or editorial work is a plus
Timeline
- Project starts: June 2026
- Hard deadline: July 31, 2026
Note: The game designer will finalize content between April and late June. Some illustrations may be available to start in May or June, but the bulk of the work (approximately 20 illustrations) will be delivered to you in July. You must be available and able to handle this volume within that window.
