Contest Brief

Contest Overview: Calling all caricature or cartoon artists and illustrators. Can your characters make us laugh? Then we want to see what you can do!

Project: Design a funny family of 4 w/ a dog and cat - each character with a distinct personality (see descriptions below).

Design Style: Original cartoon characters in full-color. Note: Each character must make us smile and laugh! If we don't laugh at your characters, it won't work for our designs. The more detailed you can be in their personalities, clothes, and hairstyles the better. 2D with shading or 3D is fine. NO CLIP ART!!

What do we mean by characters with personality? Here's examples of characters with personality:

-Old man: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110416122644/pixar/images/thumb/7/71/Carl.png/500px-Carl.png

-Young girl: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121115010700/p__/protagonist/images/f/fd/Wreck_it_ralph_conceptart_jNAYQ.jpg

File format: 1 group file and 6 individual jpeg files, and png files with transparent backgrounds (large enough to fit a full-sized computer screen).

  Yes, you can use any coloring style you like. The purpose of our characters is for use in our website and perhaps other marketing materials. So people need to instantly like them and smile when they see them.
