Hello Designers,
My company is looking to add a character (like the GEICO Gecko) to add to the uniqueness of our brand. To start I would like to see the character. From there I would like to put the character in 3-5 different positions/scenarios. Work would be ongoing as we would be using him in various marketing campaigns and across various medias. I am not interested in licenses. I want to pay for each job. The character is a sasquatch. To be more specific I am looking for a BigFoot similar to the likes of "Harry" from the movie "Harry and the Hendersons." I would like to get as close to that character as possible without infringing on any copyrights. He is a gentle giant. He is goofy. He is eager to fit in with a certain crowd. This awkwardness will create comedy. Our company is an online cigar store themed with "the 50's era, Rat Pack" age.
Story Behind Cool Carl (we are naming the guy Carl):
There is one cool cat that many people don't know about as an outcast of the Rat Pack. He was an odd character. His animalistic features just did not add to the swager of the RatPack and as much as cool Carl tried to be a part of the group the more he was alientated from the scene. He could often be seen peering at the Pack at shows and events. Wherever the RatPack was Carl was sure to be in the shadows and background. Carl has now outlived his beloved group of guys Sammy Davis, Dino Market, and Frank Sinatra (The Rat Pack) and the only way he can be near them is to live on the website in which they have been immortalized on.
Carl will have the swagger of the RatPack gang. He will smoke cigars. He will have women on his arm.
Carl will be featured on our website for now and used in various marketing incentives. I am looking for quality and a good working relationship with quick turn-around and good communication which I have found on this site before. Thank you for your interest.
Kind Regards,
Bryan
