Contest Brief

I am looking for an illustrator to create a series of fantasy illustrations featuring 3 mermaids and 1 Neptune in an underwater sealife setting. The purpose of this project is personal, with the intention of creating a unique and imaginative piece of artwork. The ideal candidate will have experience in creating realistic illustrations, with a particular focus on underwater scenes. The style of the illustrations should be realistic, with attention paid to detail and accuracy.

Pencil only or ink only.
Pencil or ink .
Or ink only.

Not both, last contest artists submitted inks, which caused a second prize to be won. Because both were top cash winners. It was an art contest for pencil only..

But grown quickly to a double contest.
You can submit either all ink,
or all pencil.

No charcoal no colors..

The two mermaids in the photograph are perfect

ADD A THIRD MERMAID

    Hello, can the artwork be done digitally? It can still be ink style, just not using a traditional medium.
