Can you give a few more details of how long the project is, around how much you'll be willing to pay, how many hours you expect the illustrator to work per day (assuming this is only a contract or single project, not full-time job), etc.? I have someone in mind I know is a very good illustrator.
This one is fairly simple. It involves editing an existing illustration (or perhaps redoing it from scratch - their call) to look more realistic. This part of the project is time sensitive (3-5 days). It's just side work, I can pay by the hour or we can workout a number for the finished product. After that is complete I'd like to take the new illustration, make minor modifications and then toss in some existing product images. There will also likely be a need for a handful of other related illustrations/changes for this project. If the work is good I'd love to have a long-term working relationship, I have a ton of illustration projects in mind over the next couple of months.
I usually have plenty of time in the summer for projects like this. If you'd like, shoot me a message on the board with more details on the project(s) and I'd be glad to give you a quote.
