I want to acknowledge that this question is generally well-intended, but also want to point out that artists are working just like anyone else. If you want good artwork, you should expect to compensate the artist for their time and expertise. I’m not an artist, but IMO paying someone on Fiverr values art more than looking for a free option. I think that’s probably your best bet for the criteria you have. Alternatively you might try to commission someone you find online. Hope you find what you’re looking for!
Thanks for the advice, you've hit the nail on the head.
I'm in an awkward position where I think I've got something that will make the kids happy, but I can only do part of it, and I don't want to take advantage of someone for the other part. I'm looking for something that can hopefully do both.
Give the person who helps you credit for it. Like, put their name on it.
Sometimes people like to do things just for the satisfaction of doing them.
... promise them exposure, artists LOVE that
Artists are people just like everyone else. Which means they are capable of consenting to giving away free work.
True.
