Hi! To answer your question: the test is free. For this test, I'd like to see 1 bee and 1 flower — just to get a feel for your style and see if it matches what I have in mind. If I like the result, we'll move on to a paid commission.
For the art direction, I'm looking for a cozy storybook style — soft textures, warm and slightly desaturated colors, thick outlines, similar to Mineko's Night Market. Think plush/felt toy aesthetic, not flat cartoon.
If the test goes well, here's what the full first batch would look like:
- 1 background (grass/nature environment)
- A few decorative elements
- 3 different bees
- 5 different flowers
- 1 beehive
- 1 water drop
Looking forward to seeing what you can do!
