Both of these images are AI generated (the poem is original), but I don’t want my final project to have AI images. I’m looking for an illustrator that can create a book cover and twenty-nine 2-D images of ghosts, like the one on the left, but make any injuries look realistic and gory, like the image on the right.

I understand exactly what you’re aiming for, keeping the charm of the ghost illustration while pushing the realism and detail of the injuries so it feels more grounded and impactful. I can recreate your visuals fully from scratch (no AI), in a consistent 2D illustrated style, blending soft, slightly whimsical ghost characters with more realistic, detailed injury rendering where needed. The key will be balance, so it feels intentional and not jarring across the book. I’ll keep the storytelling strong so each image supports the poem and feels unique, not repetitive.

Hi there I have reviewed your project details and understand that you need an illustrator to replace AI generated placeholders with twenty-nine original 2-D illustrations for a poetry project. I recognize your need to unify the ethereal aesthetic of the left image with the intense, realistic, and gory details suggested by the right reference. I am ready to hand-illustrate each specific injury to ensure they appear authentically visceral and align perfectly with your dark, haunting vision. My approach will utilize digital painting software, primarily Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter, to simulate traditional media while maintaining a high quality 2-D vector style for the final output. I will focus on a distinct visual hierarchy for the book cover and clear, unsettling focal points for each internal ghost, ensuring the gore is integrated seamlessly into the translucent ghost forms. My strategy centers on rigorous anatomical study to translate your requirements into jarringly realistic 2-D illustrations. PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= Which specific physical injuries or visible traumas do you visualize for the first few ghosts in the sequence? What specific type of gory detail do you want to prioritize, such as realistic bone structure or soft tissue lacerations? I am ready to bring these dark concepts to life. Cheers, Rabia Shaikh
