Role Overview

We are seeking a skilled illustrator to vividly bring to life a children's adventure story centered around Bruffa the Rabbit and his friends. This project targets readers aged 8 to 13 and combines clever humor, engaging action, and imaginative settings. The narrative follows three rabbits on a daring mission to the moon encountering moon rabbits, hostile vultures and ravens, and forming unlikely partnerships with snakes and spiders. The illustrations must capture the distinct characteristics of these figures, the suspense and excitement of their journey, and the fantastical environments of the lunar and Martian landscapes.

• Design distinctive character models for Bruffa, his companions, and various imaginative creatures such as vultures, ravens, snakes, and spiders.

• A strong portfolio highlighting expertise in character creation, expressive visual storytelling, and creative scene layout.
