Cartoon Drawing Projects

Logo with mascot

You are a brand identity designer creating concepts for a new cinnamon roll brand. I want to explore two completely different creative directions before deciding which route to pursue. Each direction should feel like a fully thought-out brand with its own visual style and mascot. Please develop two distinct logo concepts based on the following directions: --- Direction 1 — Western / Urban Dessert Brand This direction should take inspiration from brands like Roll Boys and Kneaded. The style should feel: • Bold and playful • Modern and urban • Strong, chunky typography • Bright, eye-catching colours • Energetic dessert-shop vibe Create a cartoon-style mascot that fits this western street-dessert aesthetic (similar spirit to Roll Boys but completely original). The mascot should be able to appear on packaging, merch, and social media. --- Direction 2 — South Asian / Kufic Inspired This direction should draw inspiration from South Asian and Middle Eastern typography styles, such as Kufic or Urdu-inspired lettering. The style should feel: • Cultural and distinctive • Geometric or calligraphic • Bold but refined • Inspired by South Asian / Middle Eastern design heritage Create a different mascot that fits this direction — potentially inspired by South Asian culture, desserts, or traditional visual motifs. --- Goal Develop both directions so we can compare them side by side and decide which brand identity has the strongest visual impact and potential for scaling. Each concept should include: • Logo typography style • Colour palette • Mascot concept • Overall brand personality and mood

YouTube Shorts Editor (Hoodie Guy Style | 2.5D Animation)

We’re launching a new YouTube Shorts channel based on the viral “Hoodie Guy / Pins Guy” format, and we’re looking for a highly skilled editor who can replicate this style precisely. This is not basic editing. You must understand: Fast-paced, retention-driven cuts (every 1.5–2.5 seconds) 2.5D animation (layered backgrounds + subject + host) Cartoon face overlays (like the competitor channels) Sound design (whooshes, risers, impact hits, ambient layers) Story pacing synced to script escalation If you’ve never created this exact style before, this role is NOT for you. Your Responsibilities: Edit YouTube Shorts (45–60 sec) Create 2.5D scenes using layered assets Apply cartoon face overlays to characters (see attached image style) Maintain high visual stimulation (no static scenes) Sync cuts to voiceover and sound effects Add captions as final layer (not during editing) Style Reference: Channels similar to: YT: Hoodie Guy YT: Pins Guy (You should already be familiar with this format) “Start your proposal with the word ‘FRAME-BY-FRAME’ so I know you read everything.” What We’re Looking For: Proven experience with high-retention Shorts. Strong understanding of viral pacing and storytelling. Ability to follow a structured editing system (we provide a full blueprint). We provide Script and Voice Over. Skilled in CapCut, Premiere Pro, After Effects, or DaVinci Strong attention to detail (timing, motion, sound). Important (Read Carefully): When applying, you MUST include: 2–3 examples of similar edits (Shorts format preferred) Confirmation that you understand 2.5D animation Your workflow (tools + process) Applications without relevant examples will be ignored. Bonus Skills (Preferred but not required): Scriptwriting for Shorts (Hook → Escalation → Climax format) Experience with viral content strategy Project Details: 3–4 videos per week Long-term opportunity if quality is strong Pay: Negotiable $30 per Short (based on skill level) “If your work matches the reference quality, I’m willing to increase the rate quickly.” Final Note: We are building a serious channel, not testing casually. If you can match or exceed the reference style, this can turn into a long-term, high-volume role.

Motion Graphics Animator – YouTube Channel

I'm building a serious documentary YouTube channel investigating cybercrime and financial crime — the kind of in-depth storytelling people watch at midnight and can't stop. Think channels like Fern, Hoog, and Wendover Productions. I handle everything on the creative and narrative side — research, scripting, voiceover, and direction. I need an animator who can take that and make it visual. This is a long-term partnership. I'm not looking for one video. I'm looking for someone to grow with. ———————————————— WHAT EACH VIDEO NEEDS → Animated maps — locations, movement, money trails, transaction flows → Data animations — figures, percentages, timelines coming to life → Text and fact reveals — key names, dates, amounts appearing with impact → Scene transitions and motion overlays synced to narration → Dark, cinematic documentary visual style throughout AI tools (Runway ML, Kling AI, Midjourney, or similar) are welcome and encouraged — I want us working smart, not slow. Videos: 10–20 minutes | 2 per month ———————————————— YOU'RE THE RIGHT FIT IF: ✅ You understand motion as storytelling, not decoration ✅ You can animate a money flow diagram or location map from scratch ✅ Adobe After Effects is in your toolkit ✅ You're familiar with channels like Fern or Hoog (or willing to study them) ✅ You're comfortable using or experimenting with AI video tools ✅ You're reliable, communicative, and take deadlines seriously You're NOT the right fit if your work is built around social media edits, cartoon characters, or bright explainer content. Different skill set — just not what this channel needs. ———————————————— BUDGET & TERMS Rate: $150 per video (fixed price per project) Volume: 2 videos per month = $300/month ongoing Payment: Per video on completion, via PeoplePerHour I'll be honest — this is a startup budget. The channel is early stage. But the work is consistent, the creative brief is clear, and the budget grows as the channel grows. If you're building your portfolio in the documentary/cinematic space, this is real, regular work with creative freedom. ———————————————— TO APPLY Send me: → Portfolio or showreel (motion graphics work, documentary or dark/cinematic preferred) → Tools and software you use → Confirmation you're comfortable with the $150/video rate To show me you actually read this posting, start your message with DARK MONEY and tell me in one line what visual style this channel uses. Skip this and I won't reply — nothing personal, just how I keep things efficient. Remote. Serious. Long-term. Let's build something.

Concept Design for a Modern Villa

Job title Front Entrance & Driveway Concept Design for a Modern Villa (Photos + SketchUp Provided) Job description I am looking for a creative exterior architect or landscape designer to help design the front outdoor layout of a villa currently under construction. The goal is to propose a coherent and elegant entrance concept for the front of the house, based on photos that I will provide. I can also share the original architect’s 3D model in Google SketchUp to make the work easier and more precise. The design should focus on the organization of the front exterior areas, including the access to the garage, the main entrance path, and a small parking area. Ideally, the proposal would include a ramp on the left side of the façade leading up to the garage. The pedestrian access to the front door could either be integrated within this ramp or designed as a staircase. A staircase solution where light could pass underneath the steps would be particularly interesting and architecturally appealing. One important constraint is accessibility: the design must allow someone to reach the front door using a wheelchair. The entrance should therefore include a smooth and practical accessible path. On the right side of the house, I would like to integrate a small parking area in front of the building. There are also a few specific constraints to consider. From the front door and the small patio area, there is a staircase that goes down on the right side toward the basement level. This staircase is hidden behind the small wall visible on the right side of the façade and should remain discreetly integrated into the design. A mailbox should also be included at the front of the property along the street. Finally, the far left side of the property must remain a clear passage allowing a car to drive through to access the back of the house. This circulation space must remain open and functional. Front Entrance & Driveway Concept Design for a Modern Villa (Photos + SketchUp Provided) The objective is not detailed construction drawings but strong visual design proposals that help define the look, circulation, and atmosphere of the front exterior. Deliverables ideally include visual concepts, sketches, or simple 3D views showing the proposed layout and design ideas. from the initial drawing we can discuss more $ to elaborate
