3D character artist wanted

Dayv1

I'm looking for someone to create a skinned 3D model.

I want the model to look like one of these guys http://drawcrowd.com/projects/481ec7d1bcaf73cb31f47b27818880141010fb0e

Specifically, the hand drawn illustration style.

I've had other models of these guys created http://hamstereaglehunter.deviantart.com/art/Watch-Model-392925818 + http://hamstereaglehunter.deviantart.com/art/Milligram-model-396326288 , but they were low poly.
I now need a higher poly version with a more hand drawn look to the texture and silhouette.

I'm looking to pay ~£200 for this, but if your portfolio is good I'm willing to go higher.

To apply please email cuteabsurd@gmail.com with a link to your portfolio and rates. Please mention it's for the 3D model in the email title.

Well first of all you should consider doing a proper briefing, because at this rate you should offer the 3d artist to do it as much as possible to help him with the transition from 2d to 3d.
Dependent on from where you hire you artist this is about a day worth of work, slightly less or more depenent on her/his situation.
It doesn't have to be full orthos (tho if you want a a less experienced artist to do it they will help a lot), but some less dramatic angle, more neutral light situation to adapt to and possibly project onto the model as a texture guide.
Because what you ask right now is for an artist to come up with the design himself (or somethind "like one of these guys"), to come up with the proper texturing style only you can know, to model it less lowpoly (how much less?) and him having no clue about your target at all.
You show 2 3d models which are pretty different from each other, how is anyone supposed to know what you want to achieve?
Anything right now would be a waste of your money and the artists time.

I agree, get some specs down...poly count, texture size, more examples of the hand painted style you want, etc...
