I am looking for an experienced children’s book illustrator/designer to help complete and professionally finish an educational children’s book called Tully the Turbine & Friends – What Are Wind Turbines? The book is aimed at children aged 7–10 and teaches children how wind turbines and renewable energy work through storytelling, characters and age-appropriate STEM learning. The main character, Tully, is a wind turbine with an established appearance and personality. I already have the story, characters, page concepts, reference artwork and detailed instructions. I am not looking for someone to redesign the concept. I need an illustrator who can follow the existing character designs and specifications very closely and create consistent, professional illustrations throughout the whole book. The project will involve approximately 17–19 illustrated A4 pages plus front and back covers. Important requirements include: * Consistent character appearance from page to page. * Accurate modern wind turbines with exactly three blades. * Correct turbine components and realistic wind-farm details. * Tully must remain recognisable and consistent throughout. * Four recurring child characters must stay visually consistent. * Three wind-turbine technicians are based on real people/reference photographs and must remain recognisable in illustrated form. * Correct PPE and safety equipment must be shown on wind-farm/site scenes. * Illustrations should be colourful, warm, engaging and suitable for children aged 7–10, without looking too babyish. * Educational diagrams/scenes must still be technically sensible and easy for children to understand. * The book explains wind, blades, the turbine interior, generator, electricity, substations, the electricity grid and how renewable electricity reaches homes and schools. * Page layout and text need to look professional and easy to read. * Final artwork needs to be suitable for a high-quality digital PDF/book and future professional printing. I will provide the successful freelancer with the existing book pages, character references, photographs, detailed design rules and page-by-page instructions. Consistency and attention to detail are extremely important. Please do not apply if you are unable to follow established character and technical specifications closely. I would also like reasonable revisions included so that character details and turbine details can be corrected where necessary. Please provide examples of previous children’s book illustration, particularly educational or STEM books if available. I will require the final high-resolution files, editable/source files where applicable, and full commercial usage rights for the completed commissioned artwork.

The technical constraint is maintaining strict consistency of established character designs and technical accuracy for educational content. The root cause is balancing artistic style adherence with exact depiction of complex wind turbine components and safety details. I will carefully replicate the existing character and turbine visuals using precise referencing and integration of accurate STEM elements in illustrations. Page layouts and text will be professionally formatted for digital and print standards. This ensures a coherent, educational final product; I will verify all elements against provided references and instructions before delivery. Could you clarify the preferred file formats and software for final editable/source artwork delivery?

Wind turbines are an unusually good fit for me: before becoming a full-time illustrator, I spent 30 years in structural-steel estimating, project management, and technical/isometric drawing. I can turn the engineering into clear, engaging pictures without making a children’s book feel like a manual. I’ve created book covers and interiors, work in pencil, graphite, and pen-and-ink, and use Photoshop daily. My 3,000 AUD bid and 30-day schedule are preliminary and assume “1719 pages” means 17–19 total book pages, a supplied final manuscript/storyboard, one principal character, one approved style, and no more than 10–12 finished illustrations plus a cover, delivered as layered PSD and print-ready files. If the request is for 17–19 separate full-page illustrations, layout, or additional characters/scenes, the budget and schedule must be revised. Before a firm quote I need the exact illustration count, page/trim size, age group, manuscript and scene list, character references, required style/complexity, cover/layout scope, file specifications, deadline, and commercial licensing terms. Strict character consistency will be established through an approved character sheet before final pages begin. My portfolio serves as my sample; I do not provide free speculative work. One revision round is included during preliminary approvals only; later revisions are billed at my hourly rate. Best regards, Todd Van Linda.
