I will create custom vector illustrations and character art

About this gig

I will create custom vector illustrations and character art drawn from scratch in Adobe Illustrator, delivered as clean, infinitely scalable files ready for print, web, and merch.

What you get

  • An original, custom vector illustration or character designed around your brief, sketch, or reference, drawn entirely from scratch (no traced stock, no AI auto-generation passed off as hand-work).
  • Fully editable source files in AI and SVG, with every shape, group, and layer named and organized so you (or your developer) can recolor, resize, and split elements later.
  • Flattened export deliverables in PNG (transparent background) and PDF, supplied at the resolution and dimensions you need.
  • Clean vector paths with proper anchor-point management, expanded strokes where appropriate, and a tidy artboard, so the artwork prints crisply at any size from a business card to a banner.
  • A character turnaround or pose set when your plan includes it (for example a front-facing pose plus one alternate pose or expression), with consistent proportions and style across each version.
  • A defined number of revision rounds so we can refine pose, color, line weight, and detail until the illustration matches your vision.
  • A short usage note clarifying that the finished artwork is yours to use for the purpose we agree on.

How it works

  1. Share your brief. Send me a written description, any rough sketches, mood boards, color codes, or reference art that shows the style and feeling you are after. The more direction you give, the closer the first draft lands.
  2. Scope confirmation. I confirm the deliverable list, dimensions, file formats, style direction, and which plan fits, so there are no surprises about what is and is not included.
  3. Concept sketch. I produce a rough line sketch of the illustration or character for your approval. We lock in pose, composition, and proportions at this stage, while changes are cheap and fast.
  4. Vector build. Once the sketch is approved, I rebuild it as clean vector artwork in Illustrator: precise paths, balanced line weights, and color applied per your palette.
  5. Color, shading, and detail. I add flat color, shading, and finishing detail according to your plan, keeping the file organized and layered.
  6. Review and revisions. You review the draft and request changes within your plan's revision rounds. I refine until it is right.
  7. Final delivery. I hand over the full file package (AI, SVG, PNG, PDF) packaged and named clearly.

Why choose this

Vector artwork is the right foundation when your illustration needs to live in more than one place. Because the art is built from mathematical paths rather than fixed pixels, it scales from a favicon to a trade-show backdrop with zero loss of sharpness, and you keep an editable source you can recolor or adapt for years.

I draw every piece from scratch and build the file the way a professional production team expects to receive it: named layers, grouped components, expanded strokes, and a clean artboard. That means your developer can drop the SVG straight into a site, your printer gets a press-ready PDF, and you are never stuck with a flattened image you cannot edit. I work to a confirmed scope and a fixed set of revision rounds, so you know exactly what you are getting and when. Communication is direct and in English, and I will flag honestly if a request falls outside the agreed plan rather than quietly cutting corners.

Who it's for / use cases

  • Brands and startups needing a mascot, logo illustration, or icon set that reads cleanly at every size.
  • Game and app developers wanting character art, avatars, or sprites with a consistent style.
  • Streamers and content creators after a personal character, emotes, or channel art.
  • Authors and educators illustrating books, courses, or explainer material.
  • Merch sellers needing print-ready vector designs for shirts, stickers, mugs, and posters.
  • Marketing teams producing illustrated graphics for landing pages, decks, and social posts.

FAQ

Q: Do you draw the illustration from scratch, or trace existing images? Every illustration is drawn from scratch based on your brief. I use references for direction and accuracy, but the linework, shapes, and color are all original.

Q: What file formats will I receive? You receive layered, editable source files in AI and SVG, plus flattened exports in transparent PNG and PDF. If you need a specific size or additional export, tell me up front and I will include it.

Q: Can you match a specific art style? Yes, in most cases. Share examples of the style you like and I will tell you honestly before we start whether I can match it closely or whether I would adapt it into my own clean vector approach.

Q: How many revisions are included? Revision rounds depend on your plan (one for Basic, two for Standard, three for Premium). We lock pose and composition at the sketch stage, which keeps later revisions focused on color and detail.

Q: Can I use the artwork commercially? Yes. The finished illustration is delivered for the use we agree on, including commercial use such as branding, merch, and marketing, unless we scope something more limited.

Q: Can you design a full character with multiple poses? Yes. Multiple poses, expressions, and color variants are part of the Standard and Premium plans. If you need a larger set than listed, message me and I will scope it for you.

Q: How should I send my brief? A written description plus any sketches, reference images, color codes, and notes on where the art will be used. Clear direction up front gets you a stronger first draft and fewer revisions.

Q: What if my project is bigger than the plans listed? Message me before ordering with the full scope, character count, and deadline. I will confirm whether it fits and outline exactly what the delivery will include.

    The final character art looks nice and the vector files were clean, but the proportions weren't quite what I described and it took a while to communicate that.

    The character design for our mascot came out so much better than I imagined, clean vector lines and the colors pop perfectly. Already using it on our packaging.

    Really solid character art and the linework is crisp. Took a couple of revisions to get the facial expression right but the final result was worth it.

    Asked for a custom illustration of two characters for my book cover and got exactly what I pictured. The shading is gorgeous.

    Drew our whole little cast of characters in a consistent style and they all match beautifully. Could not be happier.

    Beautiful vector work, scales perfectly without losing any quality. He understood the brief immediately.

    I gave a vague idea and got back a stunning original character with so much personality. The line art alone is framable.

    Good quality illustration delivered as editable vector files. Style was great, just wished it had been a touch faster.

    Turned my rough sketch into a polished vector illustration and nailed the vibe on the first try.
