[HIRING] Baki / Keisuke Itagaki style artist — 4 B&W illustrations, $200 ($50 each), ongoing work preferred but not required.

Project: 4 black-and-white character illustrations depicting key scenes from chapter one of a fanfiction I'm working on, drawn in the art style of Baki the Grappler by Keisuke Itagaki. This is the first batch — if the art's a good fit, this is ongoing work across future chapters.

Style:

• Black and white, ink
• Hyper-detailed exaggerated muscle anatomy — veins, striations, anatomy-textbook look
• Heavy cross-hatching and stippling for shading (not smooth screentone)
• High-contrast inking, bold blacks, gritty texture
• Intense Baki-style expression — gritted teeth, bulging eyes

Reference panels attached

Specs:

• Quantity: 4 illustrations
• Size/resolution: high-res PNG, 300 DPI
• Media: Digital [or traditional pen-and-ink welcome]
• Purpose: Personal use, non-commercial
• Deadline: Flexible

Budget: $200 total ($50 per illustration), personal use.
