Seeking Cartoonist for Bold, LGBTQ+ Search-and-Find Parody Illustration

---

---

I’m creating an original, adult-friendly parody of the classic search-and-find genre—think the style of Where’s Waldo (used here for reference only; this project is entirely unaffiliated). The concept is campy, colorful, and packed with LGBTQ+ flair, nightlife energy, and hidden surprises. This is a one-scene illustration project to start, with potential for more down the line. I’m looking for a cartoonist or illustrator to help bring this vision to life through one key character design and a full-page, high-density scene illustration. Project Scope: • Design 1 main character: stylish, confident, and fashion-forward • Design 2 recurring Easter eggs: • A blue-eyed Aussie doodle in a leather harness • A cheeky “pup” (person in a pup mask — playful, not explicit) • Illustrate 1 full search-and-find style scene: • A dense, character-filled environment (e.g., a Pride party, queer rave, or drag brunch chaos) • Emphasis on mini-moments, fashion, humor, and visual storytelling ⸻ Preferred Style: • 2D cartoon or comic-inspired with strong line work and vibrant color • Capable of illustrating 30–50 unique characters in one scene • Queer-coded, expressive, and fun—with tasteful adult references • Experience with LGBTQ+ themes, nightlife, or festival aesthetics a big plus ⸻ Deliverables: • Character design sheet for the main figure • Supporting visuals for recurring elements • One full illustration in high-resolution, plus layered source files (PSD/AI) ⸻ You’re a great fit if you: • Have a strong portfolio of dynamic, character-driven work • Can balance playful and bold with tasteful representation • Understand queer visual culture, fashion, and body diversity • Are collaborative, communicative, and open to potential future scenes This is an original parody project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the creators of Where’s Waldo in any way. The reference is used solely to describe the format and illustrative style.
