Job ID: 39907674

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

Job Title: 2D Character Designer for Children’s Brand (Animation-Ready)

Description:
We’re looking for a talented 2D artist to design a vibrant, lovable children’s character for our brand — a fun, friendly little girl who will appear in songs, videos, books, and merchandise.

The ideal character should be full of personality — joyful, curious, and engaging — with a design that resonates with young children. She should also feel unique and timeless, appealing to both kids and parents alike.

Requirements:

Create a layered 2D character ready for animation (separate body parts, facial expressions, etc.)

Deliver the final artwork in high-quality, animation-compatible format (PSD, AI, or layered PNG)

Include full commercial rights for publishing and merchandising

Experience designing expressive characters for children’s media

Strong sense of proportion, warmth, and emotional storytelling through design

Familiarity with African American character detailing, especially textured hair and authentic features, is a plus

Bonus:
If you have prior experience with educational or musical children’s brands, please include examples in your portfolio.

We’re excited to collaborate with someone who can help bring this character — the face of our brand — to life with energy, charm, and authenticity.
