PUGALUGS Illustration Design Brief Dear Illustrator Ideally we would like to locate someone based in the UK as we aim to develop a long-term mutually beneficial relationship with them and feel it is of paramount importance to meet with them personally in order to do this – but it is the skills of the illustrator that are more important and so artists from any geographical location will be considered. Design Brief The Character The character will be Pugalugs the Pug. The cutest cuddliest pug you could imagine. When Children meet the “Real Pugalugs”, they literally melt in adoration and always ask their parents if they can get a pug too. We need the character in the book to have the same effect on children. Style of Character We are particularly interested in the characters being generated in a similar style to that of Talking Ben from the Talking Friends apps, or Churchill the dog from the Insurance Adverts. We want them to look semi realistic but not like a photograph – if we did, we would just take photos. It is important that the characters look definitely like PUGS…. However, we are also happy for their features to be simplified if necessary or exaggerated if needed to gain maximum “cuteness” effect. We have also considered the effect of having the characters done as caricatures and although we feel over exaggeration would not suit what we are looking for, slightly exaggerated features may help to bring out the characters We like the style of character you see in films or TV programs like Shrek, Puss in boots, Toy Story, Frozen, The nut Job, The Hive and other animated semi-realistic 3D films. We understand that in order to achieve this kind of effect it may be necessary to use computer aided simulations using packages such as Maya or Blender. We have also learned that this effect may be achieved by hand drawing then digitizing the image and air-brushing the images? Talking Friends Image 1 We like the cartoon style in the picture below as the characters are easily identifiable and different. These cartoon style characters have been transformed into 3D realistic characters which is what we would prefer (see image 2) although we appreciate, this may be difficult given that our 3 pugs will change in age throughout the first book. Image 2 The cartoon characters above have been transformed into 3D semi realistic characters – this is ideally what we would like to achieve for Pugalugs but the above cartoon style would also be acceptable It is important that the characteristics of Pugs are brought out in the actual characters – they are in essence ugly but cute creatures with a multitude of facial expressions that can make you laugh or melt away in adoration. Features of Pugs to consider: 1. Wrinkly face / forehead 2. Larger than life eyes 3. Floppy cheeks 4. Mouth that parts in the middle exposing lower lip 5. Looks like they have eyebrows painted on 6. Flat face Examples of pugs: Summary There are a number of children’s books on the market that feature Pugs, none of which have characters that are either cute or very appealing to children. They tend to be aimed more at Pug Owners than children. With the first book, we want to create some visually striking artwork that will make children and pug owners alike literally say “how cute” – the extent to which we can get this effect across will we believe make or break the success of the book. Please forward you examples in the first instance to Thank you for your efforts and Kind regards Mark Parish Co-founder Pugalugs Limited

Hello Mark, first of all thank you for the detailed description. This is really an exciting project for any Illustrator. The style that you described that is what I love to work in. I work in photoshop and I can make the semi-realistic little exaggerated, extremely cute and adorable Pug that looks similar to Pixar/Disney characters. You can check my portfolio here for few samples of my work.
