One good way is to find out the name of that particular style and look up on Google "[that style] artist" or "[that style] portfolio" and you'll probably find a lot of independent artists at the top page. I was looking for an artist that was good at 8-bit art and managed to find good stuff that way. The price is obviously higher but you get what you pay for

Try Behance, a lot of talented designers on there. Search the type of illustration you're looking for and then message them Illustration Projects | Photos, videos, logos, illustrations and branding on Behance

I did that in a website with a lot Japanese Illustrators and find a lot that have the type of quality that i m searching but the challenge is

- They Dont Reply (Not sure if i m not using the right type of email so if someone know how i should pitch someone by email could help me a lot)

- They are busy or need a long lenght to create 1 illustration like 1 month or 3.... so my question if someone have experience working with illustrators is .... ¿How long could take create 1 illustration ?

About price well i was thinking in pay like $500 to $1000 per illustration but not really sure about how this industry work (for example how much pay a gaming company to someone that create a character for her company or get the full rights ? )

Could create a full book with sketches for $5000 - $10.000?

If they're that busy offering more $$ might make them change their mind. Other than that, I dunno what to tell ya except to keep looking.

The estimated time I've been given has been from 2 weeks to a month. It depends

That is the thing... not sure about how much should i offer... my last offer was like $4500 for a book (with sketchbook) or $1000 per one illustration but not really sure about what is the normal price in this type of thing

So

Is a money problem?

Or is a wrong way of present my offer to one person that even cant speak english and have a lot formalities in her language (japanese) ?

Try behance.net and gig4u.co. You can find freelancers on any budget you've. I recently hired a designer and got my job done as expected. Hope this will help you too.

Thanks for the site Did you try to contact person in Twitter or IG? I have the profile of good illustrators but the problem is that basically i dont know what is the right way to do my offer (because the process is a little different to place like upwork) and what could be the right amount of money

Yes, but I did not find Twitter and IG better platforms to do business. The ones I contacted were not professional and there is no money security. I got scammed two times. I prefer hiring freelancers through secure marketplaces only.

It might be worth for you to pay a mediator. Ideally it's a graphic designer who can speak Japanese - he/she probably knows how to access the sort of talent that you're looking for, engage with them in the proper terms and create a relationship of trust.

Get ready with mood boards and anything that can help to communicate what you are looking for. Use DeepL to translate to Japanese, it works wonders compared to google translate (I say by experience).

If they are very good they definitely have lots of work to do. Expect long waiting times, be very polite and patient - they probably have plenty of options for commissions.

This is a cool gallery that probably has lots of good contacts.
