Digital Cartoon-Style Personal Portrait

I need a digital artist with expertise in creating cartoon-style portraits of people. The completed illustration should represent the two people in a lighthearted and playful manner while maintaining their recognizable features. The photo should be waist up, focusing on the faces. The illustration is meant to be put on stickers for a birthday party.

Here's what you'll need for this project:
- Experience in digital illustration, specifically cartoon-style rendering.
- A knack for capturing likeness and character in a distinctive, playful style.
- Proof of previous work that demonstrates this skill.

I look forward to seeing how you can transform an ordinary personal photo into a unique, cartoon-styled portrait.
