I’m creating a new virtual-pet style game and need a talented artist to bring a colourful menagerie to life in a clean, cartoonish style. The roster currently breaks down into: • Animals • Creatures / Monsters • Items • 2D Backgrounds • Additional tasks on request. You’ll start with rough concepts and work through to polished, production-ready assets that can drop straight into the website. Each character should feel memorable, cute, and instantly readable at mobile resolutions. Please deliver: • 1–4 thumbnail concepts per character • a full-colour turnaround (front, ¾, side, back) for the approved concept • final layered PSD or vector file with separate line, colour, and shading layers • completed IP agreement, one can be sent to you to complete if needed. • a simple, two-frame idle animation guide (GIF or PNG sequence) so our animator can match your style All work must be original and exclusive to this project; no stock or AI-generated elements. If this sounds fun to you, share a link to comparable pieces from your portfolio and your timeframe for the first batch of designs.

Cute virtual-pet art lives or dies on clarity. If the character reads badly at mobile size, the whole roster feels weaker. I’ll keep the silhouettes clean, the expressions simple, and the style consistent from sketch to turnaround to idle motion. I’ll start with 1 to 4 thumbnail concepts per animal, creature, or item, then build the approved designs into front, 3/4, side, and back views with separate line, colour, and shading layers. I’ll also shape the 2-frame idle guide so your animator can match the bounce, blink, or tail movement without guesswork. The goal is artwork that feels cute, polished, and ready to drop straight into the website. - Original concepts only, no stock or AI elements. - Organized source files with clean layers for handoff. - https://www.freelancer.com/u/mqazi1000 Can you share which character in the first batch needs the most personality?
