Would you like to be a part of something kinda fun? Sense of humor and adventure is required!
We're looking to create a comic character that we can animate using some standard flash animation tools. The website isn't developed yet.
Basically, this is just plain old illustration (so far as I can tell-- I'm no illustrator myself) but with one small twist in that we need several mouths and slight facial variations that the lipsync software can use to mimic the character talking.
Whatever we create should be compatible with this system:
http://www.lipsync.eu
The specs for the extra facial movements are here:
http://lipsync.eu/makeSet.php?face=2
The documentation there is pretty straightforward, I think.
Here is a description of the character. (Engage sense of humor now.)
Paki is a 21 year old Pakistani native who lives in the USA, where he moved at age 12. He is somewhat misogynistic, and fancies himself as an expert with women.
You, being a good person, probably wouldn't like Paki.
Why? Because he's quite obnoxious, a little conceited, yet stands only 5'3" tall, black hair, brown eyes, and is very dark-skinned. He was raised Hindu but is not necessarily observant.
Paki loves himself. Some women even love Paki and flock to him. Other women hate him. And most men don't like him because they are jealous of his unexpected and surprising success with women. (That's why Paki calls himself a "pick up artist".) Either that, or they just think he's a jerk.
I had originally thought he'd look very traditional (turban, traditional suit, etc) but we've come to think that he now revels in being in America and loves all things American.
I came across this image at another lipsync website that seemed oddly appropriate, but my guess is that a professional artist like you could do better.

So you can see he's got a baseball cap turned sideways. The real Paki might also have gold chains (I can't bring myself to use the term "bling"), and a turned up collar. What else is he wearing? How else does he look? You tell me.
We're very impressed with the creativity of the artists here at DesignOutpost, so we're thrilled to see what you can come up with.
We'd like to have the project complete before Thanksgiving, and we'll be very active with replies and comments to your work.
We have no specific color preferences for the artwork.
This is a work-for-hire, and we'd retain all rights to the character, and be able to use him in any way whatsover (I think this part is covered in the DO terms, though). When the project is done, of course, we'd like the source files for the illustration. However, The winner of this bid would likely be engaged for follow up work on this and other projects.
Thank You.
