Cartoon character drawn based off real image

Full–time

Posted on: 5 days ago

Job Description:

I'm looking for a skilled character artist who can refine and correct an existing character design so that it accurately matches the facial identity of a real reference image.

The character already exists and most of the work is done, but the facial details need to be improved so the character clearly resembles the original person.

Specifically I need adjustments to:
  • Facial structure and head shape
  • Eyebrows
  • Skin tone / complexion
  • Facial proportions
  • Overall likeness to the original photo
  • This is not a simple AI prompt job.

    If you rely strictly on image generators, you will not be able to produce a better result than what I already have.

    You must be comfortable with:
  • Image manipulation
  • Character illustration
  • AI enhancement workflows
  • Editing and refining African American features accurately

  • You may either:
    1. Manipulate and improve the existing character, or
    2. Create a new version that better matches the reference

    I will accept a test adjustment of the current character to help determine final selection.

    Deliverable Needed:
  • One full-body character that I can place into different scenes later.

  • Important Notes:
  • Price is firm because most of the work is already completed.
  • Please send samples of similar work so I can evaluate your skill level.
  • Do not ask to start a contract until you have demonstrated your ability to complete this type of work.
This project is time-sensitive, and I'm looking to hire immediately once I find the right artist.

Please message me if you're interested and I will provide the reference photo and current character.

Thank you.

Contract duration of less than 1 month.

Mandatory skills:
Character Design, Freestyle Drawing, Cartoon Art, Illustration
