Realistic Animation-Ready 3D Character

I need a skilled 3D artist to turn my existing concept art and reference photos into a fully realised, realistic character model that can be animated smoothly. The end use is cinematic animation, so clean topology, proper edge flow and accurate anatomy are essential.

I will supply a full reference pack (front, side and three-quarter views plus colour call-outs) as soon as we start. From there I’d like you to:

• Sculpt and model the character in high detail, matching proportions and likeness from the artwork.
• Retopologise for efficient deformation and UV-unwrap every part.
• Create physically-based textures (base-colour, roughness, metal, normal, displacement).
• Deliver the final, animation-ready asset in a standard format (FBX or OBJ with texture sets).

If you can also handle a simple game-engine-friendly rig, let me know—that would be a bonus but not mandatory.

Please share portfolio pieces that demonstrate realistic character work for animation so I can gauge fit quickly. I’m ready to move ahead as soon as I find the right match.
