🎨 Artist Role Description – Character Illustrator (Cartoony Style)

We are looking for a talented 2D character artist to help bring our original cast of characters to life for a voice acting and story-driven project. The art style should lean cartoony, expressive, and stylized—not ultra-realistic. Think personality-first designs, strong silhouettes, and emotional range in facial expressions.

• Stylized/cartoon character designs (inspired by animated series or webcomics)

• Emphasis on expressions, emotion, and character quirks

• Clean linework with strong shapes

• Colorful but grounded palettes

• Optional: Light shading or cel-shading

• A grieving 16-year-old boy with a wolfcut (Avery)

• A loud, 6’3” volleyball player (Kalvin)

• A short, caring girl with a ponytail (Silva)

• A quiet 11-year-old grieving his older brother (Elias)

• Eccentric side characters and comedic relief (like “Coach”)

• Bonus points if you’re good at diverse body types and fashion styles!

• Full-body character references (or bust-up depending on artist preference)

• Character expression sheets or poses (optional but appreciated)

• A fun, cartoony touch that fits a blend of emotional storytelling and teen drama
