Kilpailun tehtävänanto

We need a cute friendly koala for a children's brand. Please provide one image facing front. as well as a second image side on holding on to a tree/branch but looking towards the viewer. We need full exclusive copyright, ie ALL rights, and may use it in any of the following: logo, plush toy, animation, game, app, etc. So original images are a must, of course. It should be a little fat, with short arms/legs, and able to express it's emotions easily. Little or no obvious fur, should generally be smooth, not serrated.

After seeing the samples you guys have used we now must stress that the simple lines of VECTOR graphics are strongly prefered as they tend to look more professional (but a hd 2000x2000px png should be sent on completion also for front and side on images)

Can you make a koala character a child can LOVE?

We have not included examples because we need something 100% original. However, after entries that are too far from what we are after we have decided to give an example as hello kitty, cute, clean, simple. However Hello Kitty is a little too simple. Good examples:

Note on ratings:
2 stars - You are not really on the right track
3 stars - A lot of work to change/improve and there is still a chance you might win
4 stars - You are in the running and some improvements could easily get you the prize
5 stars - You may already be the winner!

Once you get to four or five stars, add a picture that is the same animal doing something cute that shows its character and charm, like waving.

Thanks to everyone who put forward entries, and in the end it was a fierce competition between 2-3 contenders, 1st place switching between some very good artists. We had to go for a mixture of cuteness PLUS expression and personality and have awarded it to one of the talented artists who applied.

Hi, if possible, please answer me, the design you seek, should be rich in details? In light and shadow? This is a basic requirement for your preference?

  It depends on the overall look. The highest ranking proposals usually have some minimal light and shadow. They should have some details but minimalistic is fine.

If you are using Google Chrome :

-Right click (with mouse) on entry in your contest
-then while menu is opened push "s" on keyboard.

This will search internet for picture you selected,

I've seen cases where picture from the internet, or free stock library won a contest ..
Please do this to every image submitted to your contest, and report anyone who seem to cheat

  We endeavor to comment on the images within 24 hours, however It may sometimes be longer, but it almost certainly wont be over 48 hours at any time. No need for contestants to request we check your entries, because If we check your message then we are already logged in checking the entries. Best of luck everyone.

IMPORTANT: Keep it simple, keep it cute (you can't make this TOO cute). Fur/serration should be kept to an absolute minimum. Thanks. Like many logos this should be simple, like all childrens characters it should be cute and lovable. I will try and rate everyone within 24 hours of submission so please don't ask if it is less than that. Thanks.

hi , i want to ask about the color. do you accept a complex color or a vector image? thx for responses
- 11 vuotta sitten
1. Kilpailun järjestäjä
  - 11 vuotta sitten
  Both are acceptable, as they will be redrawn/animated by an artist at a later date into what ever posture is required. PS If you do deliver a vector or not, a HD PNG copy upon completion also needs to be included (e.g. 2000x2000px).
  - 11 vuotta sitten
2. Kilpailun järjestäjä
  - 11 vuotta sitten
  Actually, vector is prefered as that will keep in the style of other graphics. A better hand drawn graphic will beat a worse vector one though for the reasons above.
