Cartoon-Style 3D Character Designer Needed

I am looking for a talented individual who can create a cartoon-style 3D character much like the M&Ms characters. This will be primarily used for marketing campaigns. Hence, skills in 3D animation, character modeling and cartoon design are crucial. We want the character to stick to brand-specific colors - in line with our logo. Bring out your innovation to create a compelling character! Knowledge about color theory and production design would be a major plus.
