Character Animation Jobs

I’d like a fully-rigged, Twitch-ready 3D version of my Minecraft skin (I’ll email the PNG once we start). The model will live on screen beside my gameplay, so animation quality matters more than physical printability. Eyes & blinking – The pupils should track smoothly and the lids need a crisp, fluid blink. – If you can add simple emotive tweaks—squint, widened eyes, slight brow tilt—let’s discuss; I already have a rough idea we can test. Body articulation The must-have joints are shoulders, neck and a mid-section/hip area for basic bends and idle sway. Elbows and knees are nice-to-have, not mandatory. My skin has no mouth but contains multiple texture layers; please keep those intact so I can toggle accessories in the future. Delivera...

I want to create an animation of a stick figure around a campfire, I want to explain beta oxidation, how the mitochondria burns fat is a fuel source and how inflammation can prevent this. The analogy, tightened Fire pit = mitochondria. Firewood = fat. Heat and a boiling kettle = energy (ATP). Lid on the pit = inflammation. Real mechanism: inflammation drives insulin up, and insulin blocks the gate that lets fat into the mitochondria (CPT1). Optional second visual: a padlock on the woodshed, because insulin also keeps fat locked in storage. Smoldering fire = burning fat without making energy. A fire with the lid half on and no airflow eats wood and makes smoke, not heat. That’s a damaged electron transport chain: oxygen is literally the final step in the chain, so a fire starved of ...

I’m preparing to launch a YouTube channel for children aged 3-7 and I need a talented illustrator who can create completely original, hand-drawn characters—no AI outputs, no homages to existing shows, just fresh designs that belong only to us. Scope of work Your first task will be to develop a small cast of original characters and supply a full production-ready package for each one. I’ll need: • Turnarounds – front, ¾, side, back, and top views, all on-model • Expression sheets – a full range of emotions, from quiet curiosity to big belly laughs • Pose sheet – walking, waving, sitting, eating, pointing, jumping, plus a few extra action poses we’ll discuss together • Full character scenes – the character ...

I need an eight-second, 2D animation—strictly black and white, or as close to monochrome as possible—showing a girl sleeping in a simple bedroom, then waking up. The visual language should feel unmistakably anime: clean linework, expressive but not exaggerated facial changes, and subtle secondary motion in hair or bedding. Scene notes • Framing: medium shot that captures the girl on a bed with minimal bedroom elements (pillow, blanket, perhaps a nightstand). • Action beats: 0-4 s—steady breathing, slight blanket rise; 4-8 s—eyes flutter open, a small stretch or blink, then hold on her awake expression. • Palette: pure black, white, and optional single accent tone if needed for clarity. • Audio: none—deliver the file silent. Delive...

I need a single, production-ready character built in Autodesk Maya. The brief is for a realistic style—no cartoon or overtly stylised proportions—so anatomical accuracy and believable surface detail matter. Once the mesh is complete I also need it fully rigged for animation, including a functional body rig and facial controls that can handle standard dialogue and expression work. Clean, deformation-friendly topology, properly named joints, and logical control curves are essential so my animation team can pick it up without re-work. Deliverables • Realistic, game/film-quality Maya (.ma or .mb) file • Clean UVs and organised outliner hierarchy • Body + facial rig with IK/FK switching • Simple playblast demonstrating deformation range If you have...

I have a fully-designed 2D cartoon character and need a precise turnaround sheet that shows the Front, Side, and Back views in a neutral A-pose. You will receive my original artwork for all three angles, so you can match the exact line weight, colour palette, and overall style without guesswork. The job is straightforward: redraw the character so each view aligns perfectly on a single sheet, keeping proportions, clothing details, and expressions identical to the source files. Clean, consistent outlines and flat colours are essential—no stylistic deviations. Deliverables • One high-resolution turnaround sheet (Front, Side, Back) in layered PSD or AI, plus a flattened PNG/JPEG for easy review. • Layers clearly organised (inks, colours, reference guides) so future animat...

I need a bright, playful two-minute 3D animation generated with AI tools that entertains children from the first frame to the last. Think vivid colors, exaggerated motions, and friendly characters that pop off the screen in a clean, cartoonish style rather than hyper-realism. I will supply the core idea and any branding elements; you handle everything else—storyboarding, character modelling, texturing, rigging, AI-assisted animation, light, sound, and final editing. Feel free to blend tools such as Blender, Maya, Stable Video, Midjourney or Runway as long as the final render is smooth, consistent, and suitable for a young audience. A catchy, royalty-free soundtrack and simple voice-over or on-screen text are welcome to keep the pacing lively. Deliverables must include: •...

Cartoons: Sirf Bachchon Ke Nahi, Hamare Bachpan Ke Dost Aaj Netflix aur Instagram ke zamane me bhi jab TV par "Tom and Jerry" ka title song bajta hai, to 25 saal ka ladka bhi ruk jaata hai. Kyu? Kyuki cartoon sirf ek show nahi hai, wo ek emotion hai. *1. Tom & Jerry - Bina Bole Sab Kuch Keh Dena* Is cartoon me aaj tak ek bhi proper dialogue nahi hai, phir bhi poori duniya isse samajhti hai. Tom ki shararatein aur Jerry ka dimaag, ye hume sikhata hai ki taakat se zyada dimaag bada hota hai. *2. Doraemon - Har Bachche Ka Sapna* Har bachche ne ek baar to socha hi hoga, "Kaash mere paas bhi Doraemon hota." Uske pocket se nikalne wale gadgets, jaise Anywhere Door aur Bamboo Copter, actually hamari imagination ko udaan dete the. Nobita hamare jaisa hi tha - lazy, darpo...

I’m producing a short, entertainment-focused piece and need a talented 2D animator to bring my original characters to life in a light-hearted, cartoonish style. The storyboards and voice track are ready; what’s missing is the smooth, expressive motion that will give the project its charm. Here’s how I picture the workflow: after reviewing the storyboard you’ll block out key poses, share an animatic for timing approval, then complete clean-ups, inbetweens, and final color. I’d like the finished animation delivered as a 1080p video file plus the working files (Toon Boom, Adobe Animate or similar) so I can archive the project properly. Throughout the process I’ll provide prompt feedback on rough passes; in return I’m looking for clear communication ...
