Wild Animals Cartoon Transformation for Merchandise

I need a skilled and creative graphic designer/illustrator to transform my wild animal photos into cartoon versions with exaggerated features. These cartoon images will be used for merchandise, so they need to be appealing and suitable for a variety of products.

Ideal Skills:
- Proficiency in graphic design and illustration software
- Experience with creating cartoon images
- Understanding of design for merchandise

Please provide samples of your previous work that align with this project.

I am working with three different ideas. I have only attached photos for the first idea.
