Expert Vector Character Artist

To get this job, you MUST answer these questions: 1- how much Illustrator experience do you have? 2- do you have examples of vector character work? NOT logos, websites, banners, or any other NON character or NON vector art. Photoshop experience will NOT count. Only Illustrator. Right now we are looking for a team player who can work within our shoestring startup budget, but who can also grow with us as we grow! For now we are looking for the following vector illustrations in Illustrator, all paths (no shapes!): 6 to 8 new female hair definitions 6 to 8 new male hair definitions 8 to 10 wrinkle/dimple definitions 6 to 8 new nose definitions 2 full head characters ( Barack Obama and another celebrity) - eyes, eyesiris, nose, wrinkles/dimples, eyebrows, hair, beard or mustache, and faceshape constitutes a full head definition in our app. I will provide an AI template for each body part requested. We will only consider a real expert in vector character art! Take a look at the Boston Globe writers avatars ([login to view URL]) if you want to see some examples of detail I think looks really good.
