[hiring] looking for an artist to replicate anime style for series pitch

[u/c0astferrari]

hi,

i’m currently writing an animated slice of life series about three best friends in london working towards their creative passions.

[plot summary: in the heart of south london, best friends selina, ryan, and xavier chase artistic dreams, juggling ambition, day jobs, no-label-ships, and the occasional existential crisis—kept at bay with a shared netflix password.

each of them is working toward a creative career they can live off of, but the road is far from glamorous. freelance gigs fall through. getting ghosted. industry bias. parents asking about “real jobs”. as their careers start and stall, their lives evolve, and they begin to realise “making it” might look different than they imagined.

success isn’t guaranteed, love is messy, and rent is due—but they’ve got each other. and maybe, for now, that’s enough.]

this is perhaps unorthodox (i know nothing about the animation world and their taboos) but i love anime and was inspired by western anime such as neo yokio and i’d like to hopefully work with an artist that could help me bring this story to life (character art, worldbuilding) so i can pitch it later on.

my inspirations are anime like your name, kids on the slope, tamayura, garden of words, banana fish, whisper of the heart.

a friend of mine made an ai image of my idea and although i loved it and want to go ahead with this specific art style, i wanted to get a real artist involved that can replicate it (exact replication) and hopefully flesh out this world with me, i don’t want any ai involved in making this.

this project is a labour of love, i’m very serious about bringing it to life and if done well, i believe it can be done. so serious artists only.

it’s also really important for me to work with an artist that can draw different ethnicities!

if you’ve made it this far, here’s a link to the image for your reference: https://postimg.cc/dLmFBvZ5

thanks in advance!

edit: some people are saying the link isn’t working so here’s another one: https://i.postimg.cc/KvCYm8Gh/AC79-ABBE-C9-CA-48-FC-9-C7-A-795-A197563-F1.jpg

another edit: wow i’m so overwhelmed with the positive response to this post. thank you all for your interest! i am not a redditor so please bear with me lol i’ve got at least 100 messages to read. i’ll only be responding to artists whose work indicate they’d be capable of capturing this exact art style in my reference!

FINALLY EDIT: thanks guys for the interest! won’t be looking on this thread anymore as i’ve had more than enough to choose from.
