Thank you for the wonderful project.

Could you please attach a reference image showing the illustration style you like? This will help us clearly understand your ideas and expectations.

Yes, but I am new here, so where should I upload the reference images?

you uploaded some cat images. u can add on that list.

***** I have added 2 sample images generated with AI just to show you what I have in mind BUT the style is just an example and the images don't have to be quite as animated as the those sample images.
It’s simply the only reference I can provide since i can't draw them myself! It's BETTER if the style is less animated/cartoonish*****

Thank you!

Hello, I have uploaded 2 example images made with AI. They are not exactly the style I want but are the best example I could generate. Would be better if the style is a bit less cartoonish/animated :)

Thank you for sharing the images.

I understand that the cats in the references have a realistic style. I’d like to clarify whether AI-generated images are acceptable for this project.

I can create custom illustrations, but achieving the exact same realistic look as the attached references using manual illustration alone may be difficult. Using AI would help us get much closer to that specific style, and I can then refine and enhance the results to ensure a clean, professional finish.

Please let me know if you are comfortable with using AI as part of the design process.

I don’t have a problem with using AI, as long as it isn’t very obvious because one of the other candidates uploaded images that look like they were generated with AI and some things are strange, like the cats’ eyes/expressions and in some places there are tails and limbs that are out of place. If the style is good, close to how the real cats look, and there are no weird "anatomical anomalies" after the improvements/refinements, I have no problem with the use of AI :)

Ok sure thanks for the permission .

Hi, thank you very much for the invitation. I’ve accepted the participation payment and uploaded a sample to confirm that I’m heading in the right direction with the illustration style.

However, after reviewing the project in detail, I believe the amount of work required is quite extensive compared to the current budget/prize. If you could consider increasing the budget, I would be happy to continue working on the project, and I’m sure it would also help attract more designers with higher-quality proposals.

Thanks again, and I look forward to your feedback so I can continue working.

By the way, the use of AI is not accepted nor permitted under the platform’s quality guidelines.
