This project is focused on branding, logo refinement, mascot illustration, vectorization, and production-ready asset preparation.
Most concepts and artwork already exist. This is not a request to invent 25 completely new concepts from scratch. The goal is to professionally refine, standardize, vectorize, and prepare the existing CornYUMS! brand assets for commercial use.

Approximately 25 final assets, including:
- 12 logos / logo variations

- Professionally recreate/vectorize approved mascot artwork
- Complete approximately 10 approved mascot poses
- Keep all poses visually consistent with the master character

- Mascot / character illustration
- Character pose consistency

Before the contract begins, the exact list of the 12 logos, 10 mascot poses, and remaining brand assets will be confirmed in writing so both sides are working from the same scope.
The successful designer may also be considered for future CornYUMS! work involving cup stickers, labels, packaging graphics, promotional materials, and additional brand assets.

We are looking for a creative children's book illustrator to help bring our gardening and agriculture themed publishing projects to life. Our work includes picture books, activity books, coloring books, educational worksheets, and other learning resources for elementary age children.
We are looking for illustrations with a colorful, engaging style that makes learning fun while maintaining a consistent look across each project. Experience creating artwork for children's books and preparing illustrations for KDP publishing is a plus.
If you have a portfolio that showcases children's illustrations and relevant experience, we would love to hear from you. We are looking to build a long term working relationship with the right illustrator.
We need this shelf talker created in Adobe Ilustrator for us.
Our fonts are Avory, Inria, BC Mikser, and Azo.
I can supply the colours as well and the bar image.
We would like to have a short turnaround for tomorrow.

- Website graphics and visual assets

Primary focus will be on:
- Homepage
- Product page
- Collection/category layout
- Navigation
- Header and footer
- Product cards
- Buttons and calls to action
- Cart/cart drawer
- Basic layouts for supporting pages
The Figma design will be handed off to a separate Shopify developer who will build the functioning website.
Important: This position is for branding, visual design, mascot illustration, and Figma UI/UX only. You will not be responsible for building the website in WordPress or Shopify.
We are looking for someone with:
- Strong brand identity experience
- Logo/vector design skills
- Mascot or character illustration experience
- Figma UI/UX experience
- Mobile-first e-commerce design experience
- Understanding of Shopify e-commerce
- Strong portfolio showing relevant work
Total Fixed-Price Budget: $800

Please include examples of:
1. Brand identity/logo projects
2. Mascot or character illustration
3. Mobile-first e-commerce Figma designs
We are creating educational videos for students as part of our learning platform. We were looking to teach basic science concepts through these videos and our main character is a rubber duck. The rubber duck maybe goes about his day and teaches concepts like evaporation and condensation. For example the rubber duck could be walking on ice because it's cold and suddenly the ice melts in the water and he slips, or something like that. We're still ideating the storyline for how it can be done but it should be bright, vibrant, and engaging for students!

I’m developing a new story set squarely in the Aliens universe and I need a visual partner who can translate my words into striking imagery. The job begins with loose concept sketches of characters in my story and moves through to polished, publication-ready illustrations that will sit alongside the final manuscript. If published, you will get your name out there.
The tone is pure sci-fi: cold metal, corporate secrecy, evolutionary terror. I already have a roster of named characters and key moments mapped out; once you’re on board I’ll share detailed scene briefs so you can start visual exploration straight away. A solid familiarity with the franchise, military, covert ops language, Weyland-Yutani aesthetics, and the overall lore is essential because accuracy matters to the readership we’re aiming for. Digital tools such as Photoshop, Procreate, or Clip Studio are fine as long as you can deliver layered, high-resolution files ready for print and e-book use.
Deliverables (exact count negotiable)
• Employee ID type photos, portraits, and a full body shot for each principal character (10 characters in total). I also want to create a 'company ID' which will show some of their personal information and an ID image of the character.
• Several images of two different spacecraft. I will provide examples to be modified to my specifications.
• Source files + flattened print-ready versions in TIFF or PNG
Acceptance Criteria - completed to my satisfaction, vision of each character. Visual continuity with established Aliens canon and my written briefs. It is to aid in visualisation of the characters I have created predominantly.

Busco un/a ilustrador/a con experiencia en personajes infantiles para diseñar a Trapotín, el duende protagonista de mi serie de cuentos "Las trapisondas de Trapotín".
El personaje:
Trapotín es un duende del bosque, pequeño y rechoncho, con una apariencia entrañable que invite a ser abrazado. Su rostro es redondo y suave, con una sonrisa cálida que le arruga toda la cara y unos ojos grandes y expresivos. Su rasgo más característico es su nariz grande y rosada (como un tomate). Viste una chaqueta de tweed marrón con remiendos y un sombrero verde torcido. Es torpe, bonachón y siempre está a punto de tropezar con sus propias botas.
Inspiración: Busco un estilo similar al de David el Gnomo: un personaje que transmite calidez, carisma y ternura a primera vista. Mezcla de ternura y picardía.
El trabajo incluye:
-3-5 propuestas de estilo/poses del personaje.
-Diseño final de Trapotín en alta resolución (300 DPI) con fondo transparente.
-Archivo editable (PSD, AI, o Procreate).
-Derechos de uso comercial (transferencia de copyright).
-Presupuesto: Abierto a negociar según experiencia y propuesta (orientativo 20-100€).

• Environment or prop call-outs where relevant
• Source files + flattened print-ready versions in TIFF or PNG
Acceptance Criteria - loose, I am not that strict on this type of thing. I want this to be a collaborative work, as it is unpaid, call it an internship.
• Visual continuity with established Aliens canon and my written briefs. It is to aid in visualisation of the characters I have created predominantly.
This is a passion project: there’s no upfront payment, but when the book goes out you’ll receive 10 % of all author earnings. I have completed 30k words, part 1, of a 3 part work that crosses over a film. Part 1 has just been edited. If you love the franchise and want a true creative collaboration rather than a straight commission, let’s talk.

Hello,
I am building my own AI education platform and I'm looking for an experienced Live2D developer for a long-term collaboration.
I need several custom 2D avatars (not just one) that can be used in a real-time AI conversation.
The avatars should support:
- Live2D Cubism
- Smooth facial expressions and natural animations
- Real-time lip sync driven by AI-generated speech (visemes/lip sync)
- Eye blinking, head movement, idle animations, and emotional expressions
- WebGL rendering for web browsers
- Integration with a React / Next.js frontend
- Support for real-time streaming (LiveKit/WebRTC or another scalable solution)
- Ability to connect to my existing AI backend (RAG + LLM + TTS)
The system will be hosted on my own VPS servers, and I want to own the complete solution without depending on third-party avatar services.
My goal is to support hundreds of concurrent sessions and eventually thousands of users by scaling my own infrastructure.
Could you please let me know:
1. Whether you can build this complete solution.
2. What parts you specialize in.
3. The estimated cost for creating multiple avatars and integrating everything.
4. The estimated timeline.
5. Examples of similar projects you have completed.
I am looking for high-quality work and a long-term collaboration if the project is successful.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.
I'm building a series of streetwear t-shirt graphics — one design per subgenre
of hardstyle music (Rawstyle, Uptempo, Hardcore, Frenchcore, etc.). Every design
must feel like it was made by the same illustrator: identical linework, shading
technique, and composition style, while the central character and theme change
per genre.
I already have one finished design ("Rawstyle") that defines the exact style —
see the attached reference image. I need this first: one new design for the
"UPTEMPO" subgenre, matching that style exactly.
STYLE (must match the attached reference):
- Thick, bold, consistent black outlines
- Flat cel-shading, hard-edged shadows — no gradients, no airbrush
- Highly saturated comic-book coloring, slightly trippy feel
- Dense tattoo-flash / skate-graphic style linework
- Symmetrical composition around a central mask/face
- White background, isolated illustration
- Same amount and density of background elements as the reference — not more, not less
CONCEPT — "UPTEMPO":
A snarling zombie wearing a military-style gas mask. A large section at the top
right is burned/melted/exploded away, exposing part of the zombie's brain (my
brand's logo revolves around a brain), his right glowing eye, and part of his
mouth. Should read as aggressive but COOL — not gory or disturbing. Color
contrast between the intact green/olive mask and the charred/glowing burned
edge is a nice bonus if it fits naturally.
Surrounding elements (pick a fitting military-themed mix, similar density to
the reference): grenades, bullet casings/ammo belt, guns or a rocket launcher,
explosions/smoke, toxic gas canisters, a military helmet, barbed wire, dog tag.
Bottom: bold, slightly arched "UPTEMPO" text — thick cracked yellow letters,
black outline — integrated with crossed knives/guns/bullets behind it.
Colors: dominant green/olive/toxic green (mainly on the face), secondary red,
orange, yellow, pink; other bright colors welcome if they work as a whole;
keep it as vibrant/saturated as the reference.
DELIVERABLES:
- Vector file (.ai or .eps), fully editable, layered
- High-res PNG, transparent background, 4000px+ on the longest side
- Text/lettering as outlined vector shapes, not live text
- CMYK-ready for print
-DESIGN MUST BE USABLE FOR DARK/BLACK SHIRTS AND LIGHT/WHITE SHIRTS. So 2 possible versions of the design for this would be needed.
I'll provide the original reference design as an attachment. Please include
2-3 rounds of revisions in your quote. If this works out well, I have 5-10+
more subgenre designs planned as follow-up work.
In your proposal, please include:
- Portfolio examples of bold vector illustration / streetwear / tattoo-flash work
- Estimated turnaround time
- Price for this design, and (if possible) an indicative price for a longer series

Hi,
I came across your portfolio and was really impressed by your anime-style work.
I'm currently working on a paid AI project and we're looking for an individual or studio to create anime-style AI-generated videos. We'd love to explore a potential collaboration with you.
A few details about the project:
Anime-style video content (specific style references can be discussed)
Paid collaboration (budget depends on project scope)
The final content will be released under an open-source license, so please let us know if you're comfortable with that and whether it involves any additional terms or costs.
Could you please share:
Your portfolio or previous anime-style work
Your pricing (per video, per minute, or project-based)
Typical turnaround time
Whether you're open to working on open-source licensed content
Senior 2D Character Illustrator for Premium Mobile App
I'm building a premium mobile app suite for musicians, including a metronome, tuner, ear training, and music theory platform for iOS and Android.
The app uses friendly historical composer avatars (Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Clara Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Stravinsky, etc.) as interactive guides throughout the user experience.
About the Project
I already have a collection of character concepts that I like very much.
I am NOT looking for someone to invent completely new characters.
Instead, I'm looking for an experienced character illustrator who can professionally redraw and elevate these existing concepts into polished, original artwork while preserving their personality, proportions, recognizability, and overall feel.
The objective is to create artwork that feels handcrafted by a top illustrator while maintaining the identity of the existing characters.
The final artwork will later be rigged and animated in Rive, so files should be organized appropriately for animation.
Desired Style
The overall style should feel somewhere between:
• Duolingo
• Google Material Illustrations
• Slack Illustrations
• Modern premium educational apps
• Clean vector illustration with subtle lighting and depth
Friendly.
Expressive.
Warm.
Modern.
Timeless.
Easy to animate.
NOT anime.
NOT realistic.
NOT 3D.
Initial Paid Test
The first milestone is one Beethoven redesign.
If we're a great fit, I'd love to continue with the rest of the character library and build a long-term working relationship.
Future work includes:
Mozart
Bach
Brahms
Chopin
Clara Schumann
Tchaikovsky
Debussy
Stravinsky
Additional expressions
New poses
Seasonal outfits
Future composers
Deliverables
Layers should be separated for animation (head, hair, eyes, eyebrows, mouth, torso, upper arms, forearms, hands, baton, jacket, legs, feet, etc.).
Ideal Experience
Experience with:
Character illustration
Mascot design
Mobile app illustration
Educational products
Vector illustration
Stylized game characters
Experience preparing artwork for Rive, Spine, or animation pipelines is a plus but not required.
Please Include
Your portfolio
Which portfolio piece is most similar to this project
Whether you've created layered artwork for animation before
Your estimated timeline for the Beethoven redesign
Your favorite composer (just so I know you read everything 😊)
Reference Images
I've attached my current character concepts and app screenshots.
I'm looking for an experienced Book Designer and eBook Formatting Specialist to professionally format and prepare my manuscript for publication on Amazon KDP.
The ideal freelancer should have proven experience designing book interiors for both print and digital formats while ensuring full compliance with Amazon KDP publishing requirements.
Scope of Work
* Format my manuscript for Kindle eBook (KPF/EPUB)
* Design and format the paperback and/or hardcover interior
Preferred Qualifications
* Strong experience with Amazon KDP publishing
* Portfolio showcasing professionally formatted books
* Experience with Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Word, Atticus, Vellum, or similar publishing tools
* Excellent attention to detail
* Ability to communicate clearly and meet deadlines
We’re currently rebranding our dessert and açaí business, **Munch Spot**, to simply **MUNCH**.
Munch Spot is a Melbourne-based dessert destination known for creating viral dessert items, including açaí, Dubai chocolate desserts, cheesecakes, waffles, crepes and other indulgent treats. Our products are bold, highly visual and made to generate excitement both in-store and across social media.
You can view our Instagram here to get a better feel for the business and our audience:
https://www.instagram.com/munchspot.au/
Our branding agency has developed the attached concepts, and we have chosen **Option A** as the direction we would like to proceed with. We’re happy with the logo, typography, colours and overall brand identity, so these elements should not be changed.
The only element we aren’t happy with is the proposed mascot. We feel it looks too childish and doesn’t capture the cooler, more elevated direction we want for MUNCH.
We’re looking for an experienced illustrator or mascot designer to develop a new mascot that:
* Complements the existing Option A brand identity
* Feels cool, sleek, bold and memorable
* Has personality and a playful edge without looking childish
* Appeals to teenagers and young adults while still feeling suitable for families
* Can become a recognisable symbol of the MUNCH brand
* Works across packaging, signage, merchandise, social media and potentially animation
* Feels original and ownable rather than like a generic cartoon character
We are open to creative ideas regarding the character itself. It could potentially draw inspiration from the letter **M**, the idea of “munching,” our viral desserts or the overall personality of the brand—but we don’t want to restrict your creativity too much.
You can view the complete brand presentation here:
* Several initial mascot concepts or creative directions
* Refinement of our selected concept
* Front-facing and side-profile versions
* A small range of expressions or poses
* Full-colour and single-colour versions
* Final editable vector files, including AI, SVG, EPS and PDF
* Transparent PNG files in high resolution
* Full commercial ownership and usage rights
Please let us know if this is something you could assist with. It would also be great to see examples of mascots or character identities you have previously created, particularly for hospitality, food, fashion or youth-focused brands.
We are launching a premium B2B learning platform and the launch film must play at the level of the best brand advertising — the calibre of work major platforms put their name on. Ninety seconds, character-driven 2D motion design: corporate, classy, warm.
The kind of film that makes a boardroom lean in and a LinkedIn feed stop scrolling.
You will not be starting from a vague idea. You receive: a locked beat-by-beat production script (VO lines, on-screen text, per-beat direction), professionally recorded narration as final per-section audio, a complete brand system (deep forest-green palette, serif/sans type pairing, logo SVGs, design tokens, guidelines), and screen captures of the actual product.
Your job is to bring craft, character, and motion language that elevate a strong script into an exceptional film
The creative direction
Characters: Three professionals — a procurement manager, an HR manager, a salesperson — appear as elegantly stylised animated people making everyday decisions. They must feel dignified, contemporary, and likeable: premium editorial illustration, believable Middle-East-plausible casting, zero
"corporate clipart" energy.
World: Documents, desks, interfaces — realistic animated document cards, precise kinetic typography, custom line-icon moments, one striking minimal illustration (a wing mirror, drawn in a single stroke).
Tone: Restrained luxury. Think top-tier fintech or global consultancy brand films: flat-but-rich 2D, confident pacing, micro-details (paper settling, a stamp landing, a cursor's glide) that reward a second viewing.
What it is NOT: stock footage, template packs, particle effects, 3D, meme energy, or explainer-video bounce. Warmth comes from character acting and timing, not gimmicks.
Deliverables
16:9 master (4K preferred, 1080p minimum) · 9:16 and 1:1 social recuts · one pitch variant (end-card URL removed)
Burned-in subtitles + separate .srt
Licensed music (subtle piano/felt-keys direction supplied) with commercial rights cleared
Character style frames + the character source files (we retain rights — these characters become brand assets across the platform)
Timeline (fixed — confirm before applying)
M1 · within 3 days of award: character style frames (the 3
professionals + one scene) + full animatic timed to the supplied final VO
M2 · : v1 full render
M3 · (hard deadline): final render, all formats, music licensed
One structured revision round per milestone;
we return every review within 24 hours, day or night
Requirements
A portfolio containing at least one character-driven brand film for a corporate or B2B client at the quality bar described — if your characters live in children's content or startup-explainer style only, this is not your project
An established character illustration style you can deploy immediately (two weeks does not allow inventing one)
Mastery of After Effects character animation (rigging or frame-by-frame — your call, results judged on screen)
Typography-led motion craft: type is a first-class performer in this film, not a caption layer
Experience working to locked VO timing
Full commercial rights transfer on all created assets, music properly licensed
To apply (all four required — proposals skipping any are declined unread)
Link the one film you'd put beside this brief. One sentence: what in its craft carries over.
Show your character style: 2–3 samples of professional adult characters you've animated.
Your fixed price per milestone and total, and written confirmation of availability
In 2–3 sentences: how would you make three office workers making mundane decisions feel lovable on screen?
I’m looking for someone who enjoys drawing simple illustrations with markers.
I’ll send you a reference image, and your job is to:
* redraw it in a simple style;
* record the entire drawing process from a top-down view;
* use clean white paper and good lighting;
* keep the camera steady.
The videos will be used for short-form social media content.
No editing is required - just draw and record.
I’d like to start with one paid test. If we’re a good fit, I’ll have regular work available.
Please send examples of your drawings or videos if you have any.
I’m an indie author currently working on an upcoming book, and I’m looking for a fashion illustrator to bring my clothing designs to life. The illustrations will be featured throughout the book.
The project will likely include around 40–100 illustrations, although we can discuss the exact number and all the details together.
I’m not looking for highly detailed or fully rendered illustrations. I’m looking for clean, elegant fashion sketches based on my designs and references—something expressive and stylish rather than realistic.
I'm hoping to find an artist to capture my vision for the cover art of my book. It's a realistic fiction Christian romance and I am looking for realistic pencil or watercolor style to show the same realism and freedom as the inside pages.
My vision is from a first person perspective off page. The cover size is 6x9, and the scene I see in my head will continue onto the back cover. I have a close interpretation that I generated with AI that could give you an idea about what I'm going for and give you a good starting point. I want a real artist's work for my cover, not a digital image or AI. Which is where you come in! I would need a jpg. file to send to my publisher once the cover is completed.
Communication is very important to me. I have a pretty specific image in my head, but I'm willing to communicate and answer any questions as best I can to help you see my vision the way I do.
I can give more details, excerpts of the scene, the whole book, and/or the AI image if you're interested. Please don't hesitate to ask questions. Thank you for your time.

We are looking for a talented illustrator to help us expand our product line for our Amazon store (link below).

Our ninja cat coasters have been a hit, and we are looking to launch new character based collections. Our initial focus will be launching new cat, and dog character variations, in a similar style (rendered, painterly, anime) to our existing brand.
We would like to create a long term partnership with a graphic designer to help us launch new coaster designs, and help us create new concepts.
If you are interested in applying, please share links to your portfolio, particularly character based, anime, rendered work, and give us a sense of how much you would charge for a set of 6 designs.
Client's questions:
Describe your recent experience with similar projects
We're a small product team building a mobile app in the social/dating space, and we're looking for an illustrator to create a cohesive set of illustrations for our product and marketing.
We need roughly 18 illustrations across three groups:
- Empty state illustrations for various screens
- Character-based illustrations with distinct personalities (think hobbies and interests, the kind of thing that makes someone feel like a person, not a stock avatar)
- A handful of marketing pieces built around short taglines we'll provide
Style
- Hand-drawn, doodle-like, with personality
- Limited palette: 2–4 colors per illustration, one accent color
- We have a defined brand palette we'll share on kickoff
- Warm and playful, not corporate or overly polished
What we're not looking for
- Romantic clichés (hearts with arrows, cupids, hand-holding)
- Corporate/flat-illustration-startup look
- Anything that feels mean-spirited toward the characters
Deliverables
- SVG format
- Layers kept separate (not flattened) so files stay editable in Figma
- Source files included
What we'd like to see from you
- Portfolio with hand-drawn or doodle-style work, ideally character illustration
- A note on your availability and estimated timeline
We'll share the full brief, exact copy, and brand palette with the selected illustrator. Full commercial rights to the final work are expected as part of the agreement.
Client's questions:
Share 2–3 links from your portfolio that are closest to hand-drawn / doodle-style character illustration. Which one are you proudest of and why?
Do you deliver SVGs with named, separated layers that stay editable in Figma? Briefly describe your export workflow.
Are you comfortable working within a fixed brand palette (2–4 colors per piece plus an accent)?
Do you have experience illustrating characters with distinct personalities based on interests or hobbies? Any examples?
Are you comfortable transferring full commercial rights to the final work?
We need an illustrator to draw one character in two to three simple poses or expressions, making sure the proportions, facial features, outfit, and colors stay exactly the same across each version. This is a small, focused task rather than a full series, so we're looking for someone comfortable working from a short reference or description and delivering consistent results quickly. To apply, please share portfolio samples that show the same character drawn more than once, along with your usual turnaround time for a small set like this.
We're looking for an illustrator to create one simple, child-friendly illustration for a picture book scene, capturing a warm and engaging feel that fits the story's tone, based on a reference style we'll share with you.
This is a small, quick task rather than a full book project, so we're looking for someone who can turn around a single clean, polished piece efficiently without needing multiple revision rounds.
To apply, please share a few portfolio samples that match this kind of style, along with your typical turnaround time for a single illustration.
