Realistic Illustrations of Serene Individuals

I'm looking for a talented illustrator with a knack for creating high-quality, semi- realistic illustrations of single individuals. The illustrations will be used in a calendar. The theme of the calendar will be depicting patients in a dental office saying common phrases that dentists are used to hearing on a daily basis. This calendar will be marketed to other dentists. The tone is sarcastic and playful. The illustrations should have some empty space for text to be placed. Ideal Skills: - Proficiency in creating realistic illustrations - Experience with cartoon style of illustration - Ability to portray complex emotions visually - Excellent attention to detail in character design - Proficiency in digital painting techniques for realistic textures. Please include examples of similar work in your proposal. The illustrations should be created in a digital format. The project requires 12 illustrations. The illustrations should utilize warm colorful tones to enhance the sense of serenity. The timeline for completion is flexible. The illustrations should aim for a semi-realistic style that blends realism with artistic elements. The individuals depicted should be adults with a happy demeanor. The illustrations should be in landscape orientation. I have attached a few AI images that I feel captures the look and feel I would like for the calendar.
