Cartoon YouTube Thumbnail Designer (Stick-Figure Style) — Ongoing Work

I'm building a faceless YouTube channel about astronauts / life in space, and I need a designer to create thumbnails in a very specific **hand-drawn cartoon stick-figure style**. **The style — this is the most important part:** The look is based directly on the channel **@AxenCool** (please look at his thumbnails before applying). Think: round white stick-figure heads with thick black outlines, simple cartoon faces, flat bold comic colors, and huge capital-letter text with a black outline across the top. **No photorealism, no stock photos, no photo composites** — it must be fully illustrated/cartoon. **What you'll create:** - A batch of 30 thumbnails (starting with the first 10) at 1280×720. - Each thumbnail has a cartoon space scene + a short 2–3 word ALL-CAPS headline (I provide the text and the scene idea for every video). - Two text variants per thumbnail for A/B testing (I'll specify both). - Consistent style across all 30 so the channel is instantly recognizable in the feed. **I'll give you:** - A full written design brief (colors as exact hex codes, fonts, layout rules, safe area). - A ready-made scene description + headline for every single video, so you're never guessing. **You are a great fit if you:** - Have real **cartoon / illustration / character-design** samples in your portfolio (not just photo-based thumbnails). - Can match an existing style precisely and keep it consistent across a large batch. - Deliver PNG + editable source files, and can handle revisions quickly. - Are open to **ongoing weekly work** (this channel publishes regularly). **To apply, please:** 1. Share 2–3 examples of **cartoon/illustrated** work (bonus if it's YouTube thumbnails). 2. Answer this: after looking at @AxenCool, what 2–3 things make his thumbnails work? 3. I'll select a few designers for a **paid test thumbnail** (one thumbnail) before the full batch.
