[Paid] Basketball illustrations

[gellpak]

I'm looking for some good illustrations for use on tee designs, and I need several of them. I'm willing to pay something reasonable on a per-design basis, say $30-50 each, depending on quality and usefulness. I'd like to see examples and then be able to pick from among them which to buy. Guidelines below:

Baskeball figures in action, stylized in vaious ways... Silhouettes, line art, etc, see examples.

I need clean designs that will simplify out well to 1 to 3 colors. I have two different styles I'm looking for: Line-drawing style such as these (http://yjbu.com/prod_tshirt_index.php) and more solid styles like these (http://www.game7.com/ and the and1 man http://www.and1.com - in center of navigation and illustrated on their various shirts) Any cool looking "streetball" style drawings should be great. Need thick lines so they'll show up well on tees... just use and1 shirts in general to get an idea.

The poses these figures take should be obviously basketball poses even from a distance, and not obviously derived from anything copyrighted, either, for obvious reasons. If people just want to submit sketches or simple versions to see if I want to buy a refined version, feel free.

Some poses I definitely need:
-Guy getting dunked on
-Small guy standing up to big guy (david and goliath theme, in basketball)
-Guy getting the ball stolen from him
-Guy "flying" with ball (a really high or cool looking jump/dunk?)

Good luck, hope to see some cool stuff.

No offense, but isn't 30$ to 50$ rather cheap? All you need to do is sell two t shirts and you've recovered the cost of the illustration. I've gotten $300 - $600 a design. Sorry, just don't like seeing artists being taken advantage of.

[gellpak]

I'm not asking for a full design, I'm asking for an illustration to incorporate into one. You may very well make $300-600 per design, and congratulations, but you'd be doing more work than these people are, working for companies with bigger budgets, and delivering a much more finished product. I'm not taking advantage of a soul, everyone makes their own decisions as to how much they're willing to do a job for, and only those interested need reply. Please refrain from derailing my threads.

Hey Gellpack. Being a fan of basketball and t-shirt designs, I'd love to do some illustrations if you are still looking for some. I don't have an online portfolio, but my sketchbook linkbelow contains the type of work I do. I recently enetered a T-shirt design for Linkin Park which is also in there. I'll PM you also. Thanks.
