Cartoon character design

I need an original cartoon character drawn in a clean, contemporary anime style that will resonate with an adult audience. Think more seinen than shōnen: refined line-work, sophisticated proportions, and a colour palette that feels mature rather than candy-bright. The character will front a digital campaign, so visual impact and clear personality cues are essential even at thumbnail size.

Here’s how I picture the flow of work: after a short chat where I share reference images and back-story notes, you sketch two or three rough concepts. I pick one, you refine it into a polished, full-body illustration, then create a simple turnaround (front, side, back) plus one expressive close-up. Final artwork should arrive in layered PSD or Clip Studio files alongside high-resolution PNG exports with transparent backgrounds.

To be sure everything lands smoothly, I’ll sign off each stage—concept, line-art, flat colour, final render—before you move on. If that plan sounds workable, let’s bring this anime character to life.
