I need a single, hand or digitally drawn illustration for the back of a t-shirt based on reference photos I’ll supply. The finished piece can be realistic or more abstract as long as the main elements are recognizable. There will be nine key elements from the references that should have a level of basic accuracy; the background can stay simple so the main imagery stands out. Ink or full-colour work both suit the brief, so feel free to choose whichever medium best supports a strong composition. What matters most is that the drawing is created entirely by human effort—no AI assistance—then delivered as a clean, print-ready file. Deliverables • High-resolution scan or digital file (300 DPI, transparent or solid background ready for screen/DTG printing) • A quick photo or scan of the original artwork to confirm it was hand-drawn The photo "new shirt design" is an AI compilation of all the basic elements into a composition that I felt was well balanced, this is more than welcome to be adjusted as necessary. This is meant just as a jumping off point to help visualize an option. There should be the silhouette of a person on the bow with some type of small drone up above their hand. I attached references for the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter, whale, small boat, buoy, type of fish that could be used for the school (less important). The CTD and bongo should be deployed off the side crane circled with red. I know this is a lot of elements but they do not each need overwhelming detail, just the main components. If you have additional questions I am more than happy to answer any concerns.

Hello, I have carefully read your project details, and I understand this is not about recreating the AI mock-up but transforming it into a professionally illustrated, fully human-created t-shirt design while preserving the key composition and accurately representing all nine reference elements. I will carefully redraw the artwork from scratch, refining the layout where needed while ensuring the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter, and silhouetted figure are all clearly recognizable and balanced for back-of-shirt printing. I will create the illustration in Adobe Illustrator or Procreate, depending on the preferred style, using the supplied references only as guidance. The final artwork will be prepared at 300 DPI, optimized for screen printing or DTG, with clean layers, crisp linework, and a print-ready transparent background. I will also provide a progress sketch and a photo or scan of the original hand-drawn concept to confirm the artwork is created entirely without AI. ✅ Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= Could you please confirm your preferred illustration style, realistic line art or a more stylized outdoor/adventure design?

Hi, I reviewed all the attached references, including the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter, Rice’s whale, Twin Otter, small boat, buoy, wahoo school, CTD, bongo nets, crane placement, and the compiled shirt concept. I understand the goal is to turn these nine elements into one balanced, human-drawn back graphic without overcrowding the composition. I can create a strong illustrative scene with the vessel as the anchor, the underwater research activity clearly readable, and the person with the drone included on the bow. The CTD and bongo equipment will be shown deploying from the marked side crane, while the whale, fish school, buoy, aircraft, and support boat are arranged with clear depth and hierarchy. The final artwork will be prepared at 300 DPI for screen or DTG printing, with a transparent background and proof of the original hand-drawn process. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12 Do you want the final composition to stay close to the attached new shirt design, or should the artist simplify and reposition some elements to improve readability when printed large on the back? Warm Regards, Huma
