I need a painter/illustrator who can paint in the style of the attached image. The painting needs to be very similar to the attached image, without ripping it off totally. I want a painting of an evil king with a cobra draped around his neck, the same sort of tense and worried expression on his face as the example. This would be an illustration of just the head and neck. This illustration will be used on a poster, so it needs to be sent to me as a high-resolution scan. the final output will be 45.7 cm wide by 61 cm, 300 dpi, so assuming you are painting it smaller and scanning it in at a very high resolution, your scanner and computer need to be able to handle such a large file.
The most important aspect of the style is that it maintains the emotional feel of the sample image. It should feel like a classic Bollywood poster from the 1980s. Please provide samples of similar work to apply for this job -- no websites, logos, vector illustrtions, or anything design related -- just paintings done in this sort of style. Maybe you don't paint in this style, but your uncle or neighbor does -- I would love to have someone who does wall paintings do this. The most important thing is that this is a real painting: the only point it should touch the computer is when you scan it in.
