Illustrator/artist to create a comic-book character for science outreach projects.

We are science communicators working in not-for-profit (academic) settings.

Were searching for a talented Illustrator to help us re-imagine invasive species as comic book or cartoon characters that will attract attention of families at public outreach activities (e.g. museums). This is a new campaign for a single invasive species (purple loosestrife -- Lythrum salicaria). However, additional characters are planned for the future.

Deliverables needed:
- Adobe Illustrator files containing:
- 1x full-colour, vector graphic of the character
- 1x greyscale, vector graphic of the character
- Details of the character are deliberately left open to artists interpretation. However, the image should include details of the characteristic leaf shape and growth form of Alliaria petiolata (use Google Image search for examples). Villain should be imposing but not too scary for younger children. Super-power should be implied based on chemicals released by leaves and roots (allelochemicals called sinigrin and flavonoids).

Special skills needed for this project:
- Preference for Illustrators familiar with style of DC/Marvel comics villains from the 1990s/2000s

In your proposal, please provide a one- or two-paragraph summary of your design experience and why youd be a great fit for this work. Also include two relevant samples that show your best design work and creativity.
