Hello #PortfolioDay I'm Carly A-F, freelance illustrator making dramatic textured grimy painted art for books, games, posters & more! My work's a mix of traditional media (charcoal, paint, pastels) + digital colour. Booking projects for Aug onwards 🎨 carlydraws.com ✉️ carly (@) carlydraws (.) com

Posting requests as a graphic instead can filter some of them out. It's a huge pain for folks looking for artists (and us artists too) Sounds like an interesting project, & I have some Mucha inspired stuff, although not exactly the same! carlydraws.com Have sent your post to some artists i know too
