Vector illustration needed - hand-engraved sun + vineyard for premium wine label.
Worldwide
THE JOB: We need ONE vector illustration combining a golden sun motif with a panoramic vineyard landscape featuring a hilltop village. This illustration is the centrepiece of a premium French sparkling wine label (Crémant de Bourgogne). We already have the full label layout and typography completed. We ONLY need the central illustration (sun + vineyard village) as a clean vector file that we drop into our existing template. We have an AI-generated version that we are happy with compositionally — but it needs to be redrawn professionally as a clean, print-ready vector. 3 REFERENCE IMAGES ATTACHED: IMAGE 1 — The approved label design (PRIMARY REFERENCE) This is our current label. The composition, proportions, and placement of sun + vineyard are EXACTLY what we want. Your job is to redraw the illustration portion (sun + vineyard village) as a clean vector, matching this composition as closely as possible. IMAGE 2 — Vineyard engraving style reference This Shutterstock image shows the exact engraving/etching style we want for the vineyard portion — fine cross-hatching, line variation, depth through line density, organic hand-drawn feel. Study the line work in this image and match its quality. IMAGE 3 — Isolated sun motif (exact design) This is our sun motif in isolation. It has 24 rays in 3 tiers (8 long primary, 8 medium secondary, 8 short tertiary), with concentric rings in the body featuring fine parallel-line hatching for texture. Redraw this EXACTLY as a vector — same ray count, same proportions, same internal detail. WHAT TO DRAW: THE SUN (upper portion — match Image 3 exactly) 24 rays in 3 tiers: 8 primary (longest, boldest), 8 secondary (medium), 8 tertiary (shortest, finest) Circular body with 3-4 concentric rings Fine parallel-line hatching inside the rings for texture/shading Rays taper from thick at the base to pointed tips Style: engraved, not geometric/digital — organic line quality Colour: warm gold (#c9a84c) with darker gold (#b07c1a) for shading THE VINEYARD VILLAGE SCENE (below sun — match Image 1 composition): A PANORAMIC landscape, wider than it is tall Hilltop village with clustered buildings, church/tower, surrounding trees (including cypress-like tall trees) Rolling vineyard rows in the foreground and middle-ground, with vine posts visible A large tree on the right side of the composition (balancing the village on the left) Hills and mountains in the far background The perspective is looking UP at the village on the hill, with vineyards flowing down and outward toward the viewer More detail in the foreground (individual vine posts, leaves), less detail in the background (simpler line work for distant hills) IMPORTANT COMPOSITION NOTES: The sun sits ABOVE the vineyard scene, centred The bottom of the sun's rays slightly overlap or meet the top of the landscape The vineyard scene is WIDER than the sun — it stretches closer to the label edges The village is slightly LEFT of centre, the large tree is RIGHT of centre — asymmetric and natural The whole illustration reads as one unified scene: a sun rising over a wine village STYLE: 19th-century copperplate engraving / etching Fine line work with cross-hatching for shadows and depth Line weight variation — thicker for foreground elements, thinner for background NOT digital/geometric — must feel hand-drawn with a burin or engraving tool NOT photographic or photorealistic Look at traditional French wine label engravings from Bordeaux châteaux for quality reference Look at banknote/intaglio engraving for line technique reference COLOUR: ONE colour version needed: Sun: warm gold (#c9a84c) main structure, darker gold (#b07c1a) for shadows Vineyard/village: sepia/dark brown (#3a2a10) for all engraving lines No fills — the parchment background (#f4e9c8) shows through as the "light" areas The illustration should work on a warm cream/parchment background TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Format: AI (Adobe Illustrator) + SVG + high-res PNG (transparent background) All paths must be clean hand-drawn vectors, NOT auto-traced from a raster image NO raster textures, filters, or effects — pure vector line work PNG export: minimum 300 DPI at 200mm wide Transparent background The full illustration should fit within approximately 80mm wide × 70mm tall at print size (deliver at larger scale for flexibility) The sun and vineyard should be SEPARATE LAYERS or groups in the AI/SVG file so we can adjust positioning if needed WHAT WE DON'T WANT: Auto-traced or AI-upscaled from our reference image — we need genuine hand-drawn vector paths Photorealistic or digital rendering style Overly complex detail that won't reproduce at small print size (~80mm wide label) Clip art, stock illustration, or generic wine imagery Thick uniform outlines — we want line variation and cross-hatching, not cartoon outlines Flat colour fills — the "colour" comes from line density, not filled shapes TIMELINE: Day 1: Rough sketch / first draft for our approval (send as JPG/PNG) Day 2-3: Refined version with our feedback incorporated Day 3-4: Final clean vector delivery MAXIMUM 5 days from project start BUDGET: €80–120 depending on portfolio and experience. Payment on delivery of final approved vector. DELIVERABLES: AI file (Adobe Illustrator, fully editable, layers separated: sun / vineyard) SVG file High-res PNG with transparent background (300 DPI, minimum 3000px wide) One colour version (gold sun + sepia vineyard as described)
