$20 cartoon contest - example image provided - needed soon

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by tarponkeith, Aug 21, 2008.

    Example Image:
    [​IMG]

    What we want:
    We are looking for a cartoon character VERY, VERY similar to this example. The reason we can't use this image is due to the low resolution.

    Requested Changes:
    • very high resolution, so we can blow this up to a very large size without losing too much clarity
    • the word "FauxSeeker" either on the hat or jacket (preferably the hat)

    Final Product:
    • Source file (preferably in photoshop format)
    • background in source format should be a separate layer so we can edit the background color
    • file should be able to be blown up to large sizes (vector image?)


    Payment:
    Payment will be made via paypal to the winner

    End Date:
    TBD. This is not my contest, so I will have to get this information from the client.

    For any other information, feel free to write me and I will forward the question to the client...

    This is as good as I could get it. It's a little weird around the magnifying glass, but I think it doesn't look bad. But then again, the resolution of the original is way to low, so it's bound to happen.

    As you can see, the background can be changed.

    I also have a vector file for it, so you can resize it to any size.

    Cheers!

    JMN: Thanks for the quick response. I'll push this along to the client. If they choose yours, would it be possible to fix the magnifying glass and add the text "FauxSeekers" to the hat? Thanks again.

    Everyone: Sorry I wasn't able to put this in the original post, but I just found out that the image needs to be able to be blown up to create a 3 foot tall cutout. I'm not sure if this is a hassle or not, but it sounds like it. Sorry again for not posting it in the original post.

    offiri0: Very nice work. is this a "vector" graphic? Will it be able to be blown up to a huge size? Thanks.

    Do you want somebody to redraw this character or do you want a unique character that is like this one?

    Awesome. thanks!

    The client loves this image, but if you can think of a better way to make a cartoony "private investigator" I'm sure they're open to new ideas... Thanks...
