Illustration Design Brief

We are looking for illustrations of several fantasy creatures and a single fantasy location. We are not looking for realism, but rather something with a distinctive style. We would prefer art that leaves a lot to the imagination: silhouettes, faceless figures, impossible or unexplained circumstances, etc. The mood should be confusing, alien, unwelcoming, hostile. Humans should be of indeterminate gender or of diverse genders.

For a few examples of what we're looking for, please take a look at these:

Choice of colouration, resolution, and medium is left to the artist's discretion but a unified style is desirable. Sketchwork is acceptable.

While large submissions are accepted, please be aware that for most of these illustrations we expect them to be fairly small: the two landscape illustrations will be used to fill roughly one half of a page (PDF / 8.5"x11" paper), while the other illustrations will be interspersed in and around blocks of text in-page (2-4 images and a fair bit of text per page).

The illustrations we require are as follows:
1. A statue of a giant snake. Boiling hot water pours from its mouth into a "hot tub", releasing clouds of steam. Snakes and cultists are lounging nearby. (Landscape)
2. A "swamp dragon": sickly wings, scorpion tail, pincers. Sores and pustules from which toxic gas and snakes are emerging. (Landscape)
3. Six snake-worshipping cultists: one wears a "veil" of scales over its face and carries a large axe. One is naked, extremely strong, and covered in tattoos. One has hundreds of piercings made from assorted scrap. One is completely robed/hooded. One wears a coffin-shaped helmet and carries a spear. One hides behind a cloak and carries a blowgun. (This image could be done as one collection of six or broken up into smaller groups - an image of all six would be used to cover roughly one-quarter of an 8.5"x11" page.)
4. A figure almost entirely hidden beneath a "dress" of scales. A hint of tail is visible from underneath. Some indication that a huge axe is being carried.
5. A boa constrictor with a human face. Possibly constricting something; smiling eerily.
6. A human/snake hybrid, with a cleaver in place of an arm and metal and/or bone fused to its skin.
7. A human with vicious snakes for arms
8. A hooded figure, with three-fingered hands visible. The fingers are small, hissing snakes
9. A human with some visual cue that their saliva is acidic or poisonous. Possibly one or more of : slightly scaled skin, "snake eyes", pocked lips.
10. A pale, bald woman in a silk "thief's outfit", with unusual eyes and obvious fangs.

For the "contest" we only need to see 1-2 images; whoever is awarded the contract will be asked to do all the illustrations. We recognize this is quite a few illustrations; our hope is that since most of these are fairly small and "sketchwork" is acceptable, they won't take too long; however, if this feels like too much work for the payment offered, let's negotiate.

We have several of these projects planned, so there is opportunity for future work at comparable/better rate if we work well together.
