Freelance Illustrator — United States

Q54dvV8uV (pronounced “Once Upon a”) brings workplace wellness to life through story. Our app, Talewind, is set in a cozy night-time world that employees visit every day: a campfire in the woods, lanterns in the trees, a loyal dog, a moon that changes through the month.

We’re looking for an illustrator to hand-draw that whole world, so it feels warm, hand-crafted and unmistakenly ours.

What you’d draw• Two main scenes, both seen through your own eyes: a campfire clearing, with your socked feet, a steaming mug and a blanket in the foreground, and a camp with log seats, a sky with stars.• A dog who keeps you company, a tent, a jar, lanterns, a notice board and a moon in 4 phases, each in a few states• 6 page banners and about 20 small pictures and icons in the same style

What matters to us• Drawn digitally (Procreate, Photoshop or similar), in layers, with each object separate

• Drawn for gentle animation: tail, foot and grass on their own layers, so an animator can bring them to life

• A cozy storybook style with a night palette built around our brand purple

• Consistency across every piece, so it feels like one world

• 100% hand-drawn. We’ll ask to see your sketch layers. Absolutely no AI use.

• Full commercial rights and ownership of the product

To apply, share your portfolio, a few pieces you love, or a quick mock up plus a line on why this project appeals to you. We expect a budget between $5-10k depending on experience, style and whether you're also able to animate in Rive.
