2D Illustration Artist that can Draw our Style of Art/Characters (Adobe Illustrator)

We are currently seeking 1-2 additional artists that will be hired to work hourly on hand drawing various vector characters and objects following the same "look and feel" as the sample work attached. You must be able to take the characters provided and in many cases tackle new designs and be able to match our style of vector creation in Adobe Illustrator (CC 2021/2022). In order to qualify for interview, we must see your portfolio examples and for those that look like they have the ability to match our design style and the quality of vector design -- We will schedule a trial consisting of a few characters, objects and related. If you have animation experience, that will also be considered a major plus in our evaluation. This is an ongoing project, and thus each of the assignments will be considered hourly, but we have so much work to perform -- You can definitely expect this will be a steady and ongoing arrangement. To qualify, please review the samples of artwork provided and show us relevant work that you have performed that would match this style of art directly (or feel free to quickly mockup your own example and submit that). You should be very detailed oriented and have excellent creative instincts, as often we will ask you to build entirely new characters or objects while keeping with the "spirit" of the art work.
