Description
Hi there!

As a short intro, I have been developing a small book that contains riddles/puzzles within a fantasy setting. The book is presented much like an authentic journal that would have belonged to an explorer (think, Indiana Jones). While I have all the work completed for the detailed characters and things, I have a series of about 60 very basic sketches that are being developed that I would like cleaned up and stylized.

You can see a very basic idea in the images attached of the images to be cleaned up. I have also attached a final image that presents the type of character art that will be in the book as well, though in separate manner unrelated to the work needed.

Here is what I am looking for...

Phase 1
1) Image stylizing: In black and white ink, I need the images recreated. I am very open to whatever creative style you have, but I would like it to have the appearance of somebody sketching into a journal. That does not necessarily mean "messy", but no ultra straight lines, computer fonts, etc. The images I have are just flat, but functional for the purpose. For example, I have an image of a dial with the alphabet. I would like it to look more like somebody saw the dial as a piece they found somewhere and sketched an image of it.

2) Text stylizing: (This is secondary, but great if it is something you can also provide) Many of these images have some limited text to them. I am a big fan of penmanship in journals from centuries past. If you have experience with that and can provide it, great. If not, I may have to look to a separate source.

Phase 2 (at a later phase)
3) Background stylizing: Once each of the images is completed, I would need some work done artistically filling up a bit of the white space on the pages in a creative manner. (Eg: Addition of Runes, icons, objects, that would be much like a watermark behind the main image.)

This work would be for a limited amount of images for the first round. Then at a future date, we can work out getting all of the remaining 60-70 images completed.

Please take a look at a few of the sketches shown and get back to me with portfolio, quick mock-ups, or anything that could showcase what you may be able to do with them. I am very open to stylistic ideas, as past people I have hired would tell you.

Also, please feel free to contact for inquiries. This is a labor of love, but those of us working on the book are puzzle and logic types. We lack the skill and for some of the artistic stylizing. If you think this is something you can help bring to life. Please contact me.
