I am working on a long-term Alice in Wonderland project and need a great amount of characters designed/created. I plan to use Duik in After Effects for the rigging & animation so these need to be created/designed in Photoshop and/or Illustrator to import into After Effects with separate individual layers for each character (see concept art attachments). They also need to be able to work with 4K-6K shooting (i.e. no pixelation or blurriness). Each character needs to be designed on a checkered transparent background with separate layers for each head, limb, and/or body part.
I have attached concept reference art for the characters via this dropbox link here (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qb9eevzfq8ej6ye/AACQ52v8-Emtnqdkoy1Km1DQa?dl=0). I need a total of 6 characters done. Each character needs:
- The characters I'd like them to look similar to this semi-realistic detailed art style (see attachments), but colored of course (see Art-Style attachments). - 5 different body positions (see Body-Positions attachment) - 5 different arm/hand positions both on the right and left side (see Hand-Positions attachment) while certain characters individually may need a special hand and/or item attached with it - Each character has a listed set of seven different facials/emotions and each of those must match the head corresponding to each of their body positions (i.e. Front, Side, and Angle Front).
Character 2--Queen of HeartsEmotions/Expressions: Angry, Disgust/Contempt, Surprise/Shock, Annoyed, Furious/Raging Props: Croquet Mallet, Rule Book, Scepter
Character 3--King of Hearts Emotions/Expressions: Happiness, Sadness, Fear, Anger, Disgust/Contempt, Surprise/Shock, Laughter Props: Rule Book
Character 4--Tweedle Dee Emotions/Expressions: Happiness, Sadness, Fear, Anger, Disgust/Contempt, Surprise/Shock, Laughter Props: Spontoon, Antique Duel Pistol

Character 6--Card Soldier(s)Emotions/Expressions: Stoic/Serious, Angry Props: Victorian Rifle w/Bayonet
Those interested in this job must submit an "audition sample" via a drawing/rendering to match the art style (see Art-Style attachments) that I want for this project. I will only look at proposals from freelancers who do this.
