I’m putting together a children’s book that re-imagines classic African jungle characters as city-savvy youngsters. Picture a lively cast of lions, zebras and hippos commuting between school and home, all rendered in a bright, animated style—something you’d expect from a modern cartoon, only transplanted into an urban setting. Here’s what I need: • Full-colour spreads and spot illustrations featuring jungle animals in school classrooms, playgrounds, living rooms and similar everyday city spaces • Consistent, expressive character designs that feel playful and approachable for early readers • Source files (PSD, AI or Procreate) layered and well-organised so my designer can easily flow text around the art • Final print-ready files sized to standard 8.5"×11" pages at 300 dpi I’ll share the manuscript, page plan and rough thumbnails once we start. If you love drawing animals, can balance cartoon energy with urban detail, and have a portfolio that shows it, let’s talk.
