Kids' Cartoon Character Designs

I’m putting together a series of iron-on transfers that I can cut on my Cricut and press onto canvas before painting, and I need a small cast of completely original, child-friendly characters to bring the idea to life. The look I’m after is bright, fun and unmistakably cartoonish.

Scope
• 7–10 individual characters
• Themes I’d like covered: a few playful farm animals, a tiny Māori warrior and princess duo, plus two or three cheerful cars in the spirit of Lightning McQueen (same vibe, not copies)
• Audience: young children, so soft edges, expressive eyes and warm colours are important

Because these will run through Cricut Design Space, I’ll need artwork that’s clean and scalable:

Deliverables
• High-resolution SVG or layered PSD/AI files for each character
• A flattened 300 dpi PNG with transparent background for quick prints
• Colours kept to sensible, easily paintable palettes
• Full copyright transfer so I can reproduce the designs on canvas and other craft projects

I’ll approve each character once the sketch style, palette and proportions feel right for kids’ décor, and we’ll wrap when all files open seamlessly in Cricut without extra cleanup. If you love designing cute, bold mascots for little ones, I’d love to see your portfolio and get started.
