Illustrations for Art and Music Project

This is an illustration project. The total number of illustrations needed is about 35 to 40. This bid is to quote a price for EACH illustration. So if someone bids $5, that would mean they would be willing to do each of the 40 illustrations for $5/each, for a total of $200. Same if you bid $7 or $15 or whatever. Bid for EACH illustration. The illustrations will be created by the bidder from our notes and sketches - we have developed the original characters and we have developed the theme of each scene we need done. We are always open to input from the artist, but we have the general characters, scenes and themes for each illustration. The main character is a young boy and girl whom are musicians. He plays the violin, she plays guitar. The principle scenes will contain the boy and his violin in various scenes, including some scenes with classic musicians such as Bach and Eastern musicians, too, like Ravi Shankar. The scenes will be full, but will not have exceptional detail. All 40 illustrations will be in full color at a size and resolution suitable for offset printing. We prefer Illustrator or CorelDraw files, but will consider any medium in which the artist chooses to work. I may divide the work between more than one coder. The copyright to all characters, scenes and associated images will remain our possession, the artist surrenders all rights to work done in association with this project. To bid on this job, please include a price for each illustration and samples of your PAST work. ## Deliverables 1) Complete artwork as well as all original files of all work done in editable and non-locked files. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
