Quick turnaround - illustrator needed to develop brand mascot

We’re looking for a talented character illustrator to help bring our new company mascot to life. This will be a quick turnaround, but should be a simple character with minimal revisions (1-2 - Thursday 13th Deadline).

The concept and creative direction have already been developed, we’re not looking for a mascot concept from scratch. We have sketches, visual references and defined brand rules, but need an illustrator to professionally refine the character and create the final master artwork.

For this first phase, we only require one master design.

The character will be front-facing and should feel polished, distinctive and suitable for use across digital marketing, print, social media and future branded materials.

Phase 1 deliverables:
1 final front-facing master illustration
Full-colour version
Simple black-outline/colouring-sheet version
Editable vector source file (AI, EPS or SVG)
High-resolution transparent PNG
Agreed colour references
2–3 rounds of revisions
Full commercial usage rights for the final approved artwork

We have an existing creative brief which will be supplied.

There is likely to be follow-on work for the successful illustrator, including additional poses, expressions and special versions once the master character has been approved.

When applying, please send examples of character/mascot illustration work specifically.

Estimated budget: £150 fixed
Expected scope: approximately 4–6 hours for an experienced character illustrator.
