Quote - > Quote - Yup. I use toon style characters all the time. Mainly A3 and H3 toons, Littlefox and Nursoda characters. More are always welcome. And if there is XD support then even better!

Not too much like Dreamworks/Pixar style though or there can be potential problems with commercial work unfortunately.

 

 

When I say, "style", I mean that the characters would look like they fit right at home in a film by either of those companies. I would never knowingly ape or copy another artist's work and I sure as heck would avoid likenesses of existing characters. That's not what a character artist does. We're all about designing our own stuff but keeping within a style or look and doing our own thing is still possible.

 

Oh yes, I didn't think you meant copying existing characters or something like that - and definitely wasn't implying that you were.

The problem is that for some commercial work even "in the style of " or "inspired by" or sometimes even "a bit like..." can cause unecessary twitchiness in clients' legal departments. :)
