A drawing of my girlfriend

Job ID: 37311526

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Tl/dr, please help me make a cute cartoon picture of my girlfriend as her pet name, muffin!

I'm looking for a talented artist to create a one-of-a-kind drawing of my girlfriend. I'd like the drawing to be in the style of a cartoon/semi-realistic, colored, approximately 8.5x11.

We use the pet name 'muffin', for each other, and i'd like the art to be flattering, pretty, but also with some kind of clear reference to this pet name (make her face look like a muffin, or shape her hair in that way, etc.) I want to be clear that i don't want this to be a mocking or insulting piece, i want it to be flattering and something that makes her smile when she sees it.

My girlfriend is a pretty woman in her mid-30s, and i will provide pictures of her once i select an artist or artists. For this, i've included an AI picture of her, just to give a sense of what she looks like. (I'm generally against AI productions, which is part of the reason I'm looking for a great human artist for this!) Digital or physical with a high quality digital scan preferred as a final product. Without water mark, although a signature is acceptable. You are welcome to share the finished work in your portfolio, but you will not be permitted to use or share her actual pictures as the "before" or in any other way.

Hoping to pay under $100 all inclusive for it. Will not consider quotes above $200. I might select multiple commissions.

Thank you for your consideration of this proposal. This is my first time doing something like this, but I'm really excited to see what you might create!
