Long Term Illustrator Needed for Cute and Cozy Animal Illustrations

I am an Amazon KDP publisher and I am looking for a talented and creative illustrator who I can work with on a long term basis. Each project is 40 illustrations at 8.5 x 8.5 inches aimed more towards Adults & Teens, but these niches can easily suit some children too. Lots of AI illustrations will be created to provide ideas, and we can discuss together which ones will work best to be converted into finalised illustrations by you. What I am looking for is someone who can take these supplied AI mock ups and redraw them in your own style, keeping that cute and cozy feel with animal like characters in warm, homely scenes. You will need to add extra detail and your own style to bring these mock ups to life at a higher standard, as AI cannot produce perfect images. All final illustrations must be drawn by hand. My AI images are only there as mock up ideas to work from, and no AI generated final work will be accepted. Themes change from project to project, so I need someone flexible who is comfortable working across a variety of subjects rather than one single theme. Timeline is roughly two weeks for a set of 40 illustrations to be redrawn. This is not a one off job. If the first project goes well I am looking for someone I can keep working with regularly over the coming year, so please only apply if ongoing work is something you want. When applying, please include some samples of previous illustration work that would be relevant for this project. Please do not send paintings, photo effects or unrelated pieces, as I need to see line work in a style close to what is described above. I will link some illustration samples below so you have a clear idea of the look I am after. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted to complete a small paid sample page, and one final artist will then be chosen for the main project.
