15-Second 2D Anthropomorphic Animation - 11/07/2026 21:37 EDT

Job ID: 40576224

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I'm looking for an animator for a 10-15 second traditional 2D animation The scene involves the Owl character stuck thigh deep in a patch of Quicksand, pumping her legs, trying to move. She glances over her shoulder, notices the viewer. She shakes her hips side to side for a few seconds, before winking. The quicksand suddenly swallows her a few inches deeper, causing her to look down.

The second image provided is how the overall setting and perspective of the scene would look.

Your job is to:
• Design any new characters that appear in the scene, matching the style of the ones I supply.
• Animate the full sequence in clean, on-model 2D.
• Deliver the finished clip as an HD MP4 and, if possible, the layered source (Animate/TVPaint/Toon Boom or PSD sequence) so I can archive the project.

Smooth timing, expressive poses, are what I'm looking for. If you enjoy squeezing personality into just a few seconds of screen time, this should be fun work. Any references or other projects you've worked on as examples are always welcomed! Open to discussion.
