Anime-Inspired Protagonist for Fantasy Setting

Job ID: 38181599

Budget: $15 – $25 AUD

I'm in need of a proficient artist to create an anime-inspired protagonist character design. This character is central to a project I'm working on revolving around a fantasy environment.

Here's what I'm looking for:

- Character has to be designed to fit into a unique fantasy world.
- Style should be heavily influenced by popular anime/manga aesthetics.
- Impressive attention to detail, giving the character a distinct and tangible personality that can captivate an audience.

This task will require a high level of creativity, originality, and a deep appreciation for both anime and fantasy genres. Successful experience in character design, particularly within this style, will be heavily valued.

Those applying should be capable of displaying a portfolio containing anime and fantasy-related art pieces. Skills in digital art tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or similar will be ideal.

The character I have in mind is a half-human half-dragon (with tiefling sort of attributes tail and horns) race—a female in her early 20s.
Her skin colour (945E37) Skin Tone file with Dragonlike scales in a similar pattern to the bottom right design in the (tumblr_nsbuye) like the Ar Ra's in Final Fantasy XIV. The scales colour (Cargo) Colourmix Attachments—Romania Body type. You can have scales on the face like in the attachment (bafkreihdr26xs7obdqzu2cjaj7ftjmofnewgugk) just not as many and no scales as eyebrows.
Her clothing is casual and she comes from a tribe in desert/ mountain regions.
The first outfit on the top left in (Outfit Idea 01 Attachment) or in the far right outfit in (Outfit Idea 02 Attachment). Her clothing preference can be form-fitting but not too tight for combat she prefers looser clothes that allow mobility but not too loose to get caught on anything. She can use magic and keeps her hair in a single long thick braid that stops at the middle of her back to keep it out of the way. She does have a fringe a cowlick style that sweeps to the right side of her face. Hair colour should be the middle image of the dark red in the (Blog-Reds-Banner attachment). Her weapon is dual hook blades (dynastywarriors96.webp attachment) or Sword and hook (dlcweapons3_thumb.webp attachment) She is a strong character but she's more talented with reading a situation and using what's around to her advantage. You can draw her with one or the other, or even both, as she's versatile and will change weapons depending on the type of fight. Head on she'll use dual hooks, sneaking and assassinations she'll use the hook and blade.

Lastly, she has a symbol on the right side of her neck that is a brand of a bond with her brother the symbol is considered a supernatural design demonic even.
Curled horns in the (tumblr_d0d687a7702457d6ff08f51baafe3bd3 attachment) on her head with slightly pointed ears not quite like elves though.
