Project Overview
Looking for a skilled illustrator to create a high-quality 2D cartoon-style illustration of an original character. This character will be featured as a physical product (currently in early prototyping phase). The illustration will serve as the primary artistic reference and will be utilized for branding, social media (profile and cover images), and marketing materials.
Character Overview
• Character Design: Stylized pig character.
• Apparel: Soft cloth hoodie; default pose is with the hoodie up.
• Key Feature: Glowing digital screen functioning as the character’s eyes/visor, integrated into the face for natural expression.
• Aesthetic: Subtle cyberpunk influence (clean tech, soft glow, modern edge).
• Personality: Friendly, approachable, slightly cheeky, and mischievous.
• Target Audience: Kid-friendly but not babyish or overly soft.
• Design Requirement: Strong silhouette and clear personality suitable for a brand character and future physical product.
Style Direction
• Open to interpretation within cartoon/stylized bounds.
• Welcome styles: Pixar-style, soft 3D-cartoon look, modern character design, light anime influence, or clean 2D cartoon.
• Avoid: Dark, gothic, aggressive, hyper-realistic, or overly babyish directions.
• Cyberpunk approach: Should feel approachable rather than gritty.
Project Scope
• Create a polished 2D illustration to serve as promotional artwork and long-term artistic reference.
• Character is intended for development into a future physical product.
• Full detailed brief and reference material will be shared upon signing an NDA.
Deliverables
• High-resolution character illustration (front, headshot, and additional agreed-upon views).
• Clean, production-ready files.
• Full commercial usage rights (including future physical product and marketing use).
Timeline
• First Concepts: 5–7 days.
• Final Files: 10–14 days total (flexible for the right artist).
• Revisions: 2–3 rounds expected.
Budget
• Range: $550–$750 for the full package (higher budget available for exceptional portfolios).
Additional Information
• This illustration serves as the primary artistic reference for the character.
• A strong result may open the door to further collaboration, including 3D modeling.
