    And by low price you mean what? 20$ ?
    Illustrations like those you mentioned are worth 500$ +

    Agreed, you are not likely to find that quality of work for the price that this forum will sustain. Those mascots would take me several hours in Illustrator, and I'm a damn good artist. I'd charge around $300 for that.

    Good luck to you, though.

    EDIT:

    What I mean to say, is that you will find someone to do it for $20 or so, but it will be Fiverr-quality crap.

    well, I never mentioned the price would be $20. did I?

    I need quality artists who can do that quality work for $100. Can I find them?

    No, you won't.
    I'm a mascot designer/cartoonist. What I don't understand, is why you and others apparently believe that
    artists can just extract creations like these out of our ears (or other orifices) like some magician?

    Would you ask a mechanic to replace your engine for $100? How about a surgeon taking out your appendix for that bargain price?

    If you'd like about 1/2 to a third of the quality of the example you've provided
    (which means far less time) please contact me.
    Then maybe we can talk.

    I don't mean to sound testy -- and I'm not directing this only to you opencreativs --
    just getting fed up with those offering starvation wages to artists. I'm also fed-up with the artists who except them.
