Enhance Panda Character 2D Animations
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
2D Animator Needed – Polish Cute Panda Sprite Animations (Game-Ready, 7-Day Delivery)
Description:
Hi, I’m building a desktop companion app (virtual pet style) and need a skilled 2D animator to polish and enhance existing sprite animations of a cute panda character.
Important: The panda design is already final.
Your role is to improve animation quality and smoothness, NOT redesign the character.
I will provide:
• Krita (.kra) animation files
• Existing sprite frames / sequences
• Final reference images of the panda
Scope of Work:
Refine and polish the following animation states:
• Idle (breathing + blinking)
• Active (more alert behaviour)
• Sleepy (slow, droopy movement)
• Deep sleep (fully relaxed pose)
• Tickle reaction (short playful response)
Animation Goals:
• Smooth, natural motion (no stiffness)
• Clean looping animations
• Subtle “alive” feeling (micro-movements: eyes, ears, body)
• Consistent proportions and alignment across all states
• Calm, soft, plush / toy-like feel (not exaggerated cartoon)
Developer-Ready Deliverables (Important):
Final output must be ready for integration by a developer. Please provide:
1. Sprite Sheets (PNG)
o One per animation state
o Transparent background
o Consistent frame size across all states
o Grid layout (clearly structured)
2. Individual Frame Sequences
o Exported PNG frames (e.g. idle_01.png, idle_02.png…)
o Organised into folders by animation state
3. Consistent Alignment / Anchor Point
o Character position must be consistent across all frames
o “Feet/ground contact point” aligned to prevent jumping between animations
4. Loop-Ready Animations
o All idle/sleep states must loop seamlessly
5. Basic Animation Notes
o Suggested FPS (frames per second) for each animation
o Any timing notes (e.g. slower breathing, blink intervals)
6. Source Files
o Updated Krita (.kra) files
Style Requirements:
• Cute, soft, plush / toy-like appearance
• Large expressive eyes (important)
• Maintain exact visual identity (used for branding/trademark)
• Minimal, calm, non-intrusive motion
Timeline:
• Delivery within 7 days (important)
• Prefer daily or regular progress updates
Budget:
• Budget: $500 – $800 USD (depending on experience and quality)
To Apply:
Please include:
• Portfolio with 2D character animation (sprite-based preferred)
• Examples of smooth looping animations
• Confirmation you can deliver within 7 days
• Your proposed price
Notes:
This is Phase 1 of a longer-term project.
If the result is good, there will be ongoing work (more animations, features, etc.).
