Cartoon Virtual Pet Characters

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.
