2D Cartoon Character Design

I am making a 4 minute cartoon short and I need 5 characters by 22 March 2013. 3 Humanoid, 1 Cat, and 1 Monster (More details once job is assigned). I will then be making a pitchboard with these characters which will be finished by the 31st.

The art style should be simple with vibrant colors, much like My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, maybe even the colored outlines if it fits your style. There is really no need for shadows and much detail on clothes or hair. Age group is about age 13+.

Depending on the success of this work and how good your style and price is, there is definitely a chance for some follow up work (may need 2 other characters designed).

Price is negotiable depending on your skill level. Please provide enough example material you have created so I can get a proper sense if your style and skill level is what I am looking for.

Thanks, and I hope to hear from you!
