Hi,would love to work on this project.
can you gurantee payment please?
thank you

can you please give us a link of the style preference

If you had a portfolio of work online to look at, a positive history of reviews and an example of earned income from the site possibly. At this point, if you are just starting out and do not have a body of work to compare to, then unfortunately "No." not at this time.

Thanks,

We purposefully do not want to put too much imagery into an artists head, we want it to be their own. However, if you are familiar with the work of the film director Wes Anderson (a simple google search will turn up related artworks) you'll get an idea of it. In fact, your work specifically, is not too far off from what we are thinking... maybe a bit rougher and more simplified, and less polished. BUT, definitely in your vein of work.

Thanks and let us know if you have any other questions,

I would work on the project if you were offering $50 per character at the very least, and the payment was guaranteed. That's more than fair.

Artistic Touch,

Hello,

Thank you for the invite. Very exciting - Huge Wes Anderson fan. I do have two questions - Is the developer going to rasterize the objects made fore each character so that gradients can be incorporated or do we strictly need to use vector shapes and lines with no "shading"? Also, when you say parts need to be separated, does this mean for say, the arm, that the upper, forearm, hand, and each finger would need to be separate parts or is the arm separated from the torso enough? Thanks again.

Hi, I'd like to work on this with you. Please see some of my previous work at www.glassmountaindesign.com, if you feel that that would help.
My only question is, how many seperate body and face components are you after? Just a seperate head and body, or arms, legs, eyes mouth etc.

(Btw ark, some very sophisticated shading can be accomplished in vector format, but there are shading effects in Illustrator that are raster and should usually be avoided.)

Kind Regards,

Also, it would be good to know what sort of animation you are considering.. ie are you expecting to make the characters look like they are walking, gesturing with arms, talking? etc. do you think a directly front on view would be best?
