Anime Character Designer & Animator -- 2

The immediate focus of my current project is fresh, high-quality anime character design; clean lines, expressive poses, and a style that can carry an entire 2D production. Alongside that core work I’ll also need short, snappy animations—think idle loops, attacks, and simple expressions—to prove the designs in motion. If background elements come naturally to you, great; those skills will find plenty of use as the project grows, but character art comes first.

Speed matters. I’d like to see the first polished assets as soon as possible, so an efficient workflow in Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, or your preferred 2D pipeline is essential. You’ll be collaborating with me over multiple titles, so clean layer organization, consistent naming conventions, and an openness to iterative feedback are key.

Initial deliverables I have in mind:
• Three fully rendered turnaround sheets (front, side, back) in layered PSD/CLIP
• Two or three looping animation tests exported as PNG sequences or MP4 for review

If this sounds like a fit, send over a link to your portfolio highlighting anime-style character art and any 2D animation samples. Looking forward to seeing your work and, if the chemistry is right, building a long-term partnership together.
