Design 2D Kids Series Characters
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
I’m developing a brand-new children’s 2D animated series and need the two lead characters brought to life: an adventurous young boy and his easy-going dad. The visual tone should feel as warm, bright, and hand-drawn as Bluey—while remaining 100 % original to our world. I have style notes and rough sketches ready for you to build on, along with plenty of reference images.
Scope of work
• Finalise both characters in a clean, rig-friendly line so our animation team can jump straight into Toon Boom or Harmony.
• Design a matching mini-prop set: mower, whipper snippers, leaf blowers, ute, and trailer—keeping proportions consistent with the characters.
• Produce full model sheets (front, side, back, ¾) plus an expression sheet for each hero.
The expression sheet must clearly show:
Happy, Sad, Angry
Excited, Worried, Confused
Surprised, Scared, Tired
…and any additional expressions I might request during feedback.
Deliverables
– High-resolution model sheets and expression sheets (PNG/JPEG for review, layered PSD/AI for production)
– Editable, well-named source files with vectors or organised raster layers
– Transfer of full commercial rights upon final payment
I’ll commission a short, paid test sketch first; please include a link to your portfolio showcasing hand-drawn 2D character work suitable for children’s entertainment. Looking forward to collaborating!
