Disney-Style Character Designer Needed for Feminine and Playful Character

Job ID: 38278153

Budget: €30 – €250 EUR

Objective:

I am seeking a talented character designer to create an original, feminine, and charming character for my small business, which focuses on personal transformation and style. This character will serve as the brand’s mascot, embodying the playful and enchanting spirit that brings joy similar to Minnie Mouse.


Character Inspiration:

The character should capture the essence and joy of Minnie Mouse, including:
- Charming and Flirtatious: The character should have a warm, inviting personality with a playful and flirtatious charm.
- Elegant and Graceful: Reflecting a love for vintage fashion, the design should incorporate elements from the 1950s and 60s, such as polka dots, pearls, and classic dresses.
- Confident and Feminine: Embrace full femininity, exuding confidence and beauty. The character always presents herself with the utmost femininity and grace.
- Supportive and Caring: As the face of my business, the character should be empathetic and nurturing, embodying the supportive environment I strive to provide for my clients.
- Versatile Fashion Sense: While having a fondness for vintage fashion, the character should also enjoy modern, sexy, and feminine outfits and can occasionally wear traditional attire (Chinese dress qipao, kimono, etc.). She should be able to wear any style with ease, just like Minnie Mouse.


Design Requirements:

- Disney-Style Design: The character’s overall aesthetic should capture the charming and recognizable style of Disney characters, with expressive eyes, clean lines, and a playful, animated quality.
- Heavy Inspiration from Minnie Mouse: While I encourage creative freedom, the design should draw heavily from the iconic elements of Minnie Mouse. This includes her cute and feminine appearance, expressive eyes, and overall cheerful demeanor.
- Smooth and Sleek Appearance: Like Minnie Mouse, the character should have a smooth and sleek look, with minimal fur details. While a slight suggestion of fur is acceptable, the focus should be on clean lines and a polished, cartoon-like finish.
- Signature Elements: Although a bow is optional, the character should have distinct eyelashes and a signature dress that captures her vintage and playful style.
- Appearance: The character should have a distinctive vintage-inspired look that blends timeless elegance with modern style. She should appear stylish, glamorous, and endearing, evoking the same joy and appeal as Minnie Mouse.
- Fashion Diversity: The character should be able to wear a wide range of outfits, from vintage to modern and traditional. For this project, focus on designing one signature dress that defines her style.
- Single Pose: Provide one detailed pose that captures the essence of the character's personality.
- Black and White Sketch: The initial design should be in black and white, focusing on the line work and details, without the need for colors at this stage.


Deliverables:

A detailed black-and-white sketch of the character in one signature pose, wearing her signature dress.


About Me:
I own a small business that celebrates personal transformation and style. My goal is to help my clients explore and embrace their identities in a joyful and supportive environment. I offer services to help everyone feel beautiful and confident.


If you think you'd be a good fit for this project, I would love to see samples of your previous character design work, particularly if it's in the Disney Style. Looking forward to working together!
