I am in need of a proficient and talented artist with a knack for conceptualizing my idea and
matching the elements of my vision of what I am describing in a very short, simple script. Your task will be to create an illustration that captures the essence of a dream involving two characters.
Ideal Skills:
- Expertise in realistic styled drawing
- Dreamscapes and merging of realistic and fantasy
- Ability to translate story themes into visual artwork
- Experience in character illustration
- Great communicator
- focus on the integrity of the desired expression
Requirements:
- Illustration must reflect a romantic theme
- Artwork should include two characters
- The drawing should adhere to the guidelines provided concerning the story details and character roles.
Your artistry will breathe life into the characters, visually telling their romantic tale in an impactful and authentic way. Show me your portfolio, let's bring this love story to life!
Scale:
Purposeful directives of the drawing, literal and musical applications.
Note:
There is a song and poetry that will correspond with this project/drawing. The name of the song, artist and poetic lyrics will follow the script and are sure to bring form, feel and insight to the project.
For every element (described in the script below) to be captured in the drawing, the rendering may take form as a slightly zoomed out or distant effect. Perfection of visual clarity per element is not as important as to be sure to capture all of the elements, bringing them together in cemetery. To have both would be marvelous. Slight embellishments are encouraged if needed to bring a more complete form to the rendering.
The scripts visual cues are based on an actual Dream. So all elements are relative to the overall descriptive title of the dream---------- >The Dance of the Feather and the Butterfly.
The Feather and the Butterfly---
Create a representation of a light blue Feather with small brown speckled spots and a light brown colored Butterfly with 4 light blue spots (1 blue spot on each lobe of the Butterflies wings). Additional descriptions of the male and female characters and other illustrations to follow below.
Script:
The dance of the Feather and the Butterfly takes place in TOTAL darkness. Unless otherwise noted pertaining to an element, all the background is black...
The Feather and the Butterfly appear to fly around each other in a winding upward motion. There is a falling wake trail, that displays thin lines of twisting color signifying thier spacial movement.
A man and a woman are standing in the TOTAL darkness while the dance of the Feather and the Butterfly happens around and above them. The Feather signifies the earthly Spirit of the man, and the Butterfly signifies the earthly spirit of the woman.
Background of the man and woman:
The man and the woman have been writing back and forth to each other for many months. Sometimes seeing each other when life permits. They both went through a failed marriage and suffered tremendous pain and heartache. Throughout thier writing, they have been sharing the history of their lives, the challenges of their past, and working together to bring healing to themselves, their hearts. During this process they have slowly built an authentic relationship and true friendship grounded in integrity, support and trust that is now blossoming into a romantic relationship.
Representations: writing, backpack, angels and spirits, descriptions of the man and woman
At the top left and top right corners of the visual cue there can be seen a slight fade-in (kind of a cloudy mistful look) of a hand holding a pen to paper, Mirroring each other. The genders of each hand are identifiable. The top left is the females hand. It displays softer lightly wrinkled skin and longer nails. The top right is the males hand. It demostrates a slight roughness and slightly more weathered look. This element represents thier passion to write, keeping contact going to bring more revelation to thier healing experience.
The visual of the man and woman:
The man and woman are standing in total darkness facing each other. There are whispering sounds coming from the darkness. They are aware of this and are not afriad, in fact, they are quite comforted. The man and women are holding a single small, light blue backpack together. The man and the woman are grasping the backpack, each with 1 hand, with the backpack located between them. The backpack signifies a safe and sacred holding place for their hearts. In agreement and by grace, they protect thier hearts while sharing thier experience of the journey to healing themselves and helping each other. The attire of the man and women is that of casual outdoor wear.. The man, light tan cargo pants, a white long-sleeved shirt with a blue vest and brown hiker type shoes. The woman, dark blue jeans, dark dress style low heel boots-black, a dark colored speckled blouse (no particular design). Both of them have dark hair. The man has short hair. The woman's hair is just past shoulder length. They are both in thier 50's
Within the background of the surrounding TOTAL darkness there are very subtle specs of floating sparkling light. These subtle sparkles of light are a representation of angels and spirits. In thier spacious envelopement, they observe the man and woman while the dance of the Feather and the Butterfly happens around/above them. The angels and spirits whisper in delight due to the expectation of the coming light to be created by the new love of the man and the woman. The heightened sparkles of light have colors of very soft light blue and warm white light.
The man and the woman are only illuminated by the subtle light of the angels and spirits and the dance of the Feather and Butterfly, they communicate their feelings for each other silently, while slowly dancing through the dark.
The feather and the butterfly dance around and above them. The feather and the butterfly are illuminated. As they dance they leave a small trail of color in their wake. The scale of the Feather and Butterfly are large enough to be seen well. They are not proportionally specific and are to be exemplified.
End of exploratory Script
The song:
Through the dark-- by Helen Jane Long
My personal written lyrics:
Verse 1
I grow with you, you grow with me
We are the mirror, for us to see
The Feather and Butterfly dance happily
We write along, this perfect song, of working through and staying strong
Oh how our hearts longed to share truthfully
Chorus
Dreams of a dark room, us standing together, as whispers so calmly delight
The Angels and Spirits of those who've been watching are lifted by loves coming light
Verse 2
With fearless form, awareness lead, in
circling dance, we write ahead
Curiously finding our way carefully
Sharing the walks, amid our minds, in shadows shade, things now behind
Healing our hearts as we glide so bravely
Chorus
Dreams of a dark room, us standing together, as whispers so calmly delight
As the Angels and spirits of those who've been watching are lifted by loves coming light
Crescendo
In weakened spirit, we wept and knealt.
To cleanse the self, to become well
And in the now, with opened eyes we see
Within the rust, through time was dealt, the weathered truths, of love once felt. We lived the falls, yet strong in heart are we
Chorus 2
Yes, all through the dark, we are standing together, grasping the tools of our grace
While the whispers of Angels and Spirits among us allume in the words we create
Crescendo
In heartfelt sorrow, loss and pain, by troubles cost, we've come to gain, as we forgave ourself and foe, we rise above
From a healed heart, without refrain, our pens of power create again, and by thier strokes we speak in service to Love
Chorus 3
Dreams of a dark room, us standing together, as whispers so calmly delight
The Angels and spirits of those who've been watching are lifted by loves coming light
