Looking for a graphic artist

[Chimpie]

I'm looking for a graphic artist to draw two images. First, this is an unpaid request. One image is for me and another is for a friend. My friend's request is easier than mine, just need to have a graphic/image redrawn and some flare added. (see attached)

My image request is to have a 'chimpie' drawn for me to use online (avatars and such).

If anyone wants to take up this challenge please let me know.

A question, why would you ask someone to work for you and expect nothing in return?

Or if you worked for me for a whole day and I didn't pay you, would you be happy?

Wouldn't be much of a business if they gave away their services to free, especially with absolutely nothing in return.

If I knew I was working for free up front then yes, I would be happy. After all, I have been a volunteered with the Red Cross for over eleven years. Not once have I asked for compensation. And at the end of the day I'm very happy.

So you are a charity, a charity case maybe but not a charity....?

I think you need to get real and pay for the services you want... and not expect others to give you handouts.

Or I can ask if someone is interested in doing it for free. Obviously you're not, and that is fine. Maybe someone else is.

I would suggest contacting a graphic arts program at the local college. Maybe you could find a student that is looking for a project.

I think Steve B has a great idea. A student who needs projects for a portfolio would probably jump at the opportunity. Building a portfolio can be tough when you're just starting out.

Do you have any colleges near you?

[Chimpie]

I do, and a very well known digital artist college as well. Graduates usually go on to Pixar and Dreamworks.

My request is a much smaller request. I guess I'm just asking in the wrong place.

Try Craigslist - someone in your area might be willing to do that kind of thing - I see a lot of ads like that on our local Craigslist.

I'm with blessed on this one. Try craiglist for this. Not on this forum ppl here are making a living by their businesses. Who would work for free for nothing at all in return
