A few years ago I became seriously ill. I was in a coma on heavy duty meds, and had a kidney transplant. I’m much better than I was, but I can’t do a lot of things like I could before.

We’ve now got quite a few kids in the extended family, so a while ago I wrote a short story to try to make it easier for them to understand. My wife and family like the story and have suggested making it into a picture story book. Problem is, I can’t draw and my imagination isn’t very good.

How can I get pictures for the story if I can’t do it myself and don’t have the money to hire someone? I want to avoid using AI tools because of the potential copyright issues.

I haven’t tried the services like Fiverr because I’ve heard that they force a race to the bottom on prices, but does anyone have any experience, or have any ideas of what I can do please?

Thanks in advance :)

    Then prepare for more paying in exposure memes on the Internet. There is nothing wrong with AI art, and honestly it’s better from an ethical standpoint to use AI art versus not paying someone for their time and energy.

      My idea isn’t about exposure, but experience, and I said they would be paid. They won’t get paid as much as a 10 year designer but some beer money seems reasonable and they have some work for their portfolio.
