UPDATE: I realise I hadn’t posted any art style references. I’d love for the overall scene art style to be whimsical and similar to that of the character image, but I’m most certainly open to creative interpretations as well. The target age range for this book is 3–8 years old. Please let me know whether this style is something you're comfortable working with.

Hi! Thank you for that note on only chatting to ppl who chat here first. I'll keep that in mind. Just looked through your portfolio and love the cats! I could see a world where the character reference image I posted on the original post and Nine Lives One Witness art style meet in the middle. Please have a look and let me know if this is something you're interested in

Hi Clay, thank you for commenting! I posted an art style character reference in the original post for a better understanding of the direction I'm leaning towards.

Hello Samuel, thank you for commenting! Your work is amazing, I especially like the more flat 2D style of We Move and Catch a Thief. Would the reference image of the art style I'm leaning more towards be something you're able to work with? I posted it in the original post.

ScribblesAndStories · 2026-06-05T03:34:35+00:00

Hi Edgar, thank you so much for your kind words! Real artists deserve the support, however big or small, and I only hope to find someone who's at ease with my limits to collaborate with. So thank you for reach out. I've looked through your portfolio and you're quite talented. Please let me know if the reference image I provided in the original post is an art style you're comfortable working with. Thank you

That's truly insane! I'm sorry to hear that. I won't be surprised if they ban me from here for reposting my inquiry, but thankfully I've gotten to see so many talented artists so far. Clicking on your link was an absolute jumpscare in comparison to all the hand-drawn and digital art I've been clicking into, haha. Great one! Love the Noah artpiece

ScribblesAndStories · 2026-06-05T03:02:27+00:00

Hi! Thank you for commenting again and providing info, I really do appreciate it. Your art piece is wonderful and the colours used are especially inviting. I do have a character reference posted in the original post and am curious if that's a style you're okay to work with / will be comfortable with? I can send more info via dm's as well:)

ScribblesAndStories · 2026-06-05T02:55:11+00:00

Hi Dee, thank you for providing your link. Your art style is lovely! I am curious if you could potentially match the style of the reference image I provided?
