    Hello,

    We are in need of a talented character design to create full-body avatars for each of our authors. This contest will only require you to draw one of these, this will then lead to further work being awarded to the winner.

    Example of the kind of work we are looking for can be seen at http://99designs.com/contests/11214

    We are looking for caricatures which merges the authors image with their personality. To do this we have had each author give us a guide as to which movie character they would like to be based upon.

    For this contest, which is worth $50 to the winner. We would like a character for the following:

    Actual Person: http://www.pokerfanzine.com/character/matt1.jpg
    Suggested Personality: http://www.pokerfanzine.com/character/matt2.jpg
    Suggested Personality: http://www.pokerfanzine.com/character/matt3.jpg (we think this could work well, but no smoking please).

    The image should show the full body of the character and be fully scalable.

    @ Ariestoteles

    We really like the body on this design. The shading really makes it look great. Could you perhaps work some sort of pose into it - a typical columbo type pose http://neilbeynon.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/10102420apeter-falk-columbo-posters.jpg. The face needs a little work also, maybe more expression? Not sure but it just doesn't seem very alive at the moment.

    @ bdp

    This one has the face closer to what we are looking for. I recognise the face as being the author straight away which is good. But the suit kinda makes it look like a fatter version of "Mr. bean"
