Contest Brief
I am a current Educational Administrator in Florida and I have always wanted to write my own children's book. I am also married to a Brazilian wife and in my search of English-Portuguese books, I was sadly disappointed on the lack of content out there.
So, I am looking to create a "Brand" or series of books that highlight the Brazilian culture, and also help children learn English/Portuguese. I have already created storyboards and ideas for the books series. Yet, I definitely do not have the artistic touch to bring it to visual life.
Character Details:
I am seeking the creation of a boy and girl character, who will be integrated into almost every page of the series. The theme of the characters are young, Brazilian cousins that have moved to and are now living in America. I am looking for a Dora the Explorer kind of look (Picture 1). This is close to what I am looking for, but more of a style like what is in Picture 2, more human-like, relatable. I also attached the style of famous Brazilian cartoons on the market right now (Picture 4). Not what I want, but have some style connection. One common trait on both is that i would like black hair on both and larger eyes (like in Picture 2). Of course both characters need to have the same style (nose, ears, smile, etc).
Girl Character:
See Picture 5. I would like this style of girl, wavy black hair (no pony tails), and dark brown eyes. A tan, "latina" skin tone (not too dark though). I like the small ears and she can wear jean shorts and a white T-shirt.
Boy Character:
I would like the boy to have darker skin tone, and curly short hair (see Picture 3). Dark brown eyes as well. Gray athletic shorts and yellow tang top shirt. Same height as the girl. They are the same age basically (about 10 years old).
* Please note that I am looking for exclusive design and illustration services. A contract can be created for long-term services, yet the characters created will be exclusively trademarked and owned by me.
