I am looking for a talented illustrator to create artwork for my upcoming 46-card oracle deck. This deck is designed for soulful business owners who blend intuition with strategy in their branding, marketing, and decision-making. The artwork should be minimalist, symbolic, and evocative while maintaining a warm, earthy aesthetic that aligns with the deck’s themes.
Alongside the deck, I will also require matching illustrations for the companion guidebook and a box design that reflects the overall aesthetic.
The project includes:
- 46 Illustrated Oracle Cards with a consistent portrait-oriented visual style. - Each card features a unique archetype that represents an aspect of business, branding, or intuitive strategy. - A cohesive guidebook aesthetic that includes small, aligned illustrations for each archetype. - Box design that matches the deck’s branding and aesthetic.
Art Style & Aesthetic
I am looking for:
- Minimalist, Hand-Drawn Style Line Art Simple but expressive figurative illustrations with subtle conceptual elements. Evocative gestures and postures that convey the energy of each archetype. Soft organic textures incorporated into the background.
- Earthy, Muted Color Palette Base Colors: Warm neutrals, sand, terracotta, ochre, muted greens. Subtle Contrast: Darker tones for line work and accents. No metallic/foil finishes – visuals should remain matte and minimal.
- Symbolic, Conceptual Elements Each card should include subtle symbols to enhance its meaning. Category icons (small symbols near keywords) for quick recognition:
- Consistent Backgrounds Uniform, textured backgrounds with slight variations based on categories. Typography: Small, elegant handwritten or serif font for three keywords per card.
DELIVERABLES: - 46 high-resolution card illustrations in portrait orientation. - Small category symbols integrated near the keywords. - Companion guidebook illustrations that align with the deck. - Box design that reflects the deck’s minimal, warm, and earthy aesthetic.
Ideal Illustrator I am seeking someone who: - Has experience illustrating oracle, tarot, or affirmation decks, or similar types of media (perhaps books). - Specialises in minimalist, hand-drawn, or conceptual art. - Can interpret symbolism and archetypes in visual storytelling. - Can maintain a consistent style across all 46 cards. - Is open to collaboration and feedback to refine the vision.
