I'm seeking a talented illustrator to create a friendly and approachable cartoonish Sasquatch character. This character will be used in safety messages aimed at children, teens, and adults, specifically for pedestrian and bicyclist safety. The character should be engaging and cute to effectively capture attention. Key requirements: - Cartoonish art style - Suitable for audiences of all ages - Friendly and approachable personality The Sasquatch character serves as a universal, beloved "mascot" that represents all road users: motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. I'm calling this character "Saucy" the Sasquatch, but the name does not have to be part of the design. By being cute and friendly, Saucy helps communicate serious safety messages in a way that gets people's attention through humor, without coming across as didactic. I'm envisioning a limited number of colors for the messages, which will include yard signs, flyers, print and digital ads, and social media posts. The imagery should be as simple as possible, with only essential details, and no more. I'd like Saucy to be rendered in a style akin to the animal characters of children's book illustrator Richard Scary, and/or in the styling of animal characters from the animations of Hayao Miyazaki: adorable, cuddly, instantly lovable. Saucy will need to be pictured riding a bicycle, driving a car, and walking across a street at an intersection. For the bike-riding Saucy, there should be two views: one from the side, and one from the front. For the driving Saucy, there should be multiple views: one from the front, one from the side, and several from angled views, and the cars should have a friendly personality. The pedestrian Saucy should be drawn from an angled view and a side view. The messages for the safety campaign are: 1. Cyclists Need Space. Change Lanes to Pass. This message should picture Saucy riding a bike on a 2-lane road, with a motorists Saucy passing the bicyclist Saucy in the opposing lane of travel. Both Saucies should be smiling and waving to each other. 2. Yield to Peds. All Intersections Have Crosswalks. This message should picture a pedestrian Saucy crossing a street at an intersection, with 1-3 motorist Saucies waiting for Saucy to cross. The pedestrian Saucy should be waving and smiling at one motorist, who is returning the wave and smile. Cars should have friendly personality. 3. See and Be Seen. Use Lights and Reflectors. This message should picture a bicycling Saucy riding at night (a side-view), using a headlight and a tail-light with beams of light coming from the lights. The bike should have reflectors on the wheels that pop. It should also feature a pedestrian Saucy (a side-view) wearing a neon yellow reflective safety vest and/or reflective arm/leg bands. The reflectors should pop. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Strong illustration skills, particularly in cartoonish styles - Experience in character design - Ability to create engaging content for adult audiences Please provide a portfolio showcasing relevant work.

Hello, I’ve carefully read your brief and understand that you’re not just looking for illustrations, but a memorable, friendly mascot “Saucy” the Sasquatch designed to communicate safety messages across all age groups with warmth, clarity, and charm. The balance between simplicity, personality, and message clarity is key here. My approach will focus on designing Saucy as a consistent, expressive character with a limited color palette, ensuring adaptability across print, signage, and digital formats. I’ll develop initial character concepts inspired by soft, approachable styles (similar to classic children’s illustrations), then refine into clean vector artwork using Adobe Illustrator for scalability. Each scene—cycling, driving, and pedestrian—will be thoughtfully composed to clearly convey your safety messages while maintaining visual friendliness and humor. PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= Could you share any brand color preferences or print size requirements? Also, should files be optimized separately for signage and social media? I’d be glad to share relevant character design samples and start right away. Best Regards, Rabia Shaikh

I can design Saucy as a clean, friendly mascot built for public-facing safety messaging across print, signage, and digital use. The goal is not just a single illustration, but a simple, consistent character system that can carry multiple safety messages with clarity, humor, and broad appeal. I can develop Saucy in a limited-palette cartoon style that is approachable for children, teens, and adults, with the readability and personality needed for public safety communication. The style direction is well suited to a clean, expressive mascot approach with strong silhouette, simple forms, and consistent character behavior across scenes. I can produce Saucy for: bicyclist views (side / front) pedestrian views (side / angled) motorist views with multiple vehicle angles campaign illustrations for all 3 safety messages production-ready digital assets for print and web Files will be built digitally for clean scaling and flexible reuse across yard signs, flyers, ads, and social media. Bid covers illustration and character design only. Copy/layout, print production, and downstream formatting for all ad sizes/use cases are not included unless specifically scoped. Final deliverables and revision rounds should be defined in advance. Best regards, Todd Van Linda

Hello, I’ve read your brief on Saucy the Sasquatch and I’m confident I can bring a warm, universally appealing mascot to life. I specialize in 2D character illustration and brand-friendly design that resonates with all ages. I will craft a friendly, cartoonish Sasquatch with a simple, limited color palette suitable for yard signs, flyers, print, and digital ads, drawing inspiration from Richard Scarry’s charm and Miyazaki’s cuddly character feel. Saucy will be designed with clear, expressive poses for riding a bicycle (side and front views), driving a car (front, side, and angled views with a cheerful personality), and crossing streets as a pedestrian (angled and side views). For the safety messages you outlined, I’ll deliver: 1) cyclists needing space with Saucy bike flow demonstrating passing courtesy; 2) yielding to pedestrians at intersections with friendly motorist Saucies; 3) see and be seen at night with illuminated bike lights and neon reflective gear for Saucy. I will provide simple vector assets optimized for signs, print, and social media, plus a character guide and usage rules so the mascot remains consistent across all materials. Next steps: initial concept sketches and mood board within 5 days, followed by two refinement rounds, and final vector assets delivered in 14 days. What is your preferred art direction for Saucy—more whimsical and playful, or slightly more polished and market-ready for adult audiences while keeping mass appeal? Best regards, Ahmet
