I’m building an educational platform and need three AI-generated animal characters— a mischievous monkey, a gentle elephant and a lively rooster—re-imagined so they are unmistakably original and copyright-safe. I’m happy to work with either Hand-drawn or Computer-drawn artwork; what matters is a clean, vector-friendly finish that I can animate later. Here’s the creative brief: • Redesign each animal so it no longer resembles Curious George, Dumbo or Chicken Little. That may mean tweaking facial features, adjusting overall body proportions, and adding or changing accessories. • Each character must include a clearly defined open-mouth and closed-mouth version to support future lip-sync animation. • Produce action poses for jumping, squatting and pushing a wheelbarrow (I’ll share stick-figure pose sketches to guide you). for Otto. Side view of elephant trunk in two positions. Change colour to look less like dumbo, add feminine tusks. The mouth the monkey Otto uses is the 4th mouth on the sheet. Elephant Ellie, I have not found a mouth yet. I have already created the voice in Eleven Lab. Workflow & rights: I’ll commission one paid sample first—one character, one pose, mouth open/closed—to confirm the style. Once approved we can move on to a steady stream of new poses and scenes. All finished artwork must be delivered as layered PSD or vector files, and full rights transfer to me upon payment. Let me know your price per completed drawing (character + pose + both mouth states) and your typical turnaround time so we can get started right away. Start with Otto for first one,

Hi, I reviewed the Otto, mouth-sheet, and Ellie references, and I understand that this is not simply a cleanup job. The characters need to be redesigned far enough to feel original and copyright-safe while still keeping their personalities clear and suitable for an educational platform. I’ll begin with Otto as the paid sample, creating a clean animation-friendly redesign in the wheelbarrow pose with separate open and closed mouth states, using the fourth mouth style as requested. I’ll refine his facial structure, proportions, clothing, and accessories so he no longer resembles Curious George, while keeping the artwork layered and easy to animate later. Once the sample is approved, I can apply the same system consistently to Ellie and the rooster, including Ellie’s side-view trunk positions and feminine tusks. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12 Do you want Otto’s first sample to stay close to the current yellow outfit and orange hat, or are you open to changing those elements as part of making him more original? Warm Regards, Huma

Hello, I get what you need, and I can help you nail this. Let’s focus on redesigning the elephant first. We’ll tweak her features to make her unique—think about adjusting her body shape and adding some cool accessories that fit her personality. This way, she won't resemble Dumbo, and we’ll give her those feminine tusks you mentioned. I did something similar for a client before, and it worked out great; their characters became instantly recognizable and appealing. Once we finalize the design, I’ll send over the open and closed mouth versions so you can get them animated later on. What’s the main vibe you want these characters to give off? And do you have any specific colors in mind for the elephant? Ramandeep K.

Hello, Otto is the perfect place to establish the visual language for the entire educational platform, and the priority should be making him feel completely original before building the larger character library. I would redesign the mischievous monkey from the ground up, using your existing concept only as a starting reference while changing the facial structure, proportions, features, and accessories enough to create a distinct identity that does not resemble Curious George or other recognizable characters. For the paid sample, I would focus specifically on Otto in one agreed pose with both open and closed mouth states, using the fourth mouth from your reference sheet as requested. I would keep the artwork clean, animation friendly, and suitable for layered PSD or vector delivery, with construction that can later support jumping, squatting, wheelbarrow pushing, and additional scenes. Once the style is approved, the same disciplined approach can extend naturally to Ellie and the rooster. I can share relevant samples that closely match your project requirements.
