Semi-Realistic Dental Procedure Illustrations

PROJECT TITLE: Medical Dental Illustrator — 20 Publication-Grade Figures for Textbook (Grayscale + Selective Color System) PROJECT DESCRIPTION: I am completing a textbook on dental implant biology for Quintessence Publishing. I need 20 publication-ready figures divided into two tiers: TIER 1 — 10 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS Clean architectural vector diagrams (built in Adobe Illustrator or equivalent). These are clinical decision flowcharts, governance frameworks, force transmission diagrams, and conceptual models — not decorative infographics. Think engineering schematics, not marketing graphics. Deliverables: SVG and high-resolution PDF. Style: minimal, geometric, no gradients, no shadows, precise typography (Times New Roman). TIER 2 — 10 REALISTIC MEDICAL ILLUSTRATIONS Semi-realistic to realistic biological cross-sections of bone, implant interfaces, tissue architecture, and force distribution. These are rendered in HIGH-CONTRAST GRAYSCALE with a single accent color (a specific deep steel blue, hex #1B4F72) used once per image to highlight the critical clinical variable. Everything else is grayscale. The blue is surgical — it marks one element per image. This is a branded visual identity system, not random colorization. Subjects include: - Cortical and trabecular bone cross-sections at implant sites - Thermal necrosis zones at osteotomy walls - Crestal bone under adaptive remodeling vs pathologic overload - Periodontal ligament mechanoreceptor architecture - Off-axis versus axial loading strain distribution - Full-arch implant prosthesis cutaway showing force transmission - Microdamage accumulation progression (three-panel sequential) - Soft tissue seal disruption with bacterial penetration pathway WORKFLOW: AI generation (Midjourney or equivalent) may be used for base images, but raw AI output is NOT acceptable as a deliverable. Every realistic image must go through manual post-production in Photoshop: true grayscale conversion, contrast and tonal control, and hand-masked blue overlay at exactly #1B4F72. The blue must be consistent across all 10 images — identical shade, identical visual weight. I WILL PROVIDE: - A detailed production brief for all 20 images (concept, composition, caption, color specifications, and reference prompts already written) - Clinical review and anatomical feedback at each stage - Exact hex codes, aspect ratios, and export specifications YOU WILL DELIVER: - 10 vector schematics as SVG + PDF (CMYK-ready) - 10 realistic illustrations as layered PSD files (with blue overlay on separate layer) + flattened TIFF at 300 DPI minimum - Lecture-ready PNG exports of all 20 images (RGB, transparent or dark background versions) REQUIRED SKILLS: - Adobe Illustrator (vector schematics — clean technical diagrams, not infographics) - Adobe Photoshop (grayscale conversion, layer masking, selective color overlay, print-ready export) - Medical or scientific illustration experience (anatomical accuracy is non-negotiable — bone histology, tissue architecture, implant hardware) - AI image generation experience (Midjourney preferred) with strong post-production refinement skills - Understanding of print production (CMYK, 300+ DPI, bleed, color consistency) IDEAL CANDIDATE: Your portfolio shows anatomical cross-sections, histology-style renderings, or biomedical diagrams — not logos, social media graphics, or marketing materials. You understand the difference between decorative illustration and clinical illustration. You have produced work for medical textbooks, journals, educational materials, or scientific publications. Bonus: experience with dental or orthopedic anatomy specifically. HOW WE WILL START: I will commission TWO test images first before awarding the full project: 1. One schematic diagram (clinical decision flowchart) 2. One realistic illustration (bone cross-section with grayscale + blue overlay) If both meet the quality standard, the remaining 18 images will be commissioned as a complete project. BUDGET: Open to proposals. Please quote per-image rates for schematics and realistic illustrations separately, plus a bundled rate for the full set of 20. This is a professional publication — I am paying for precision, consistency, and anatomical credibility, not speed. TIMELINE: Flexible but structured. Full project completion within 3-4 weeks of test image approval. TO APPLY: - Include 2-3 samples of medical/scientific illustration from your portfolio - Include at least 1 sample showing grayscale work or selective color technique - Confirm your software proficiency (Illustrator, Photoshop, Midjourney or equivalent) - Provide per-image and bundled pricing - Do NOT send generic proposals. Reference something specific from this brief that tells me you read it.
