Seeking Talented 3D Modeler for Anime/Game/Original Characters – From Text or 2D to Printable STL (Ongoing Collaboration)

Job ID: 40164421

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Hello dear talented 3D artists,
I hope this message finds you well! (●'◡'●)
I'm looking for a skilled and reliable 3D modeler to collaborate with on a series of exciting projects. My focus is on creating high-quality, clean 3D models inspired by anime, game characters, original designs, cute accessories, figures, or small props — perfect for 3D printing, collectibles, or digital use.
What I need most often:
· Turn text descriptions (detailed prompts) or 2D reference images (concept art, sketches, photos) into polished 3D models.
· Styles: Anime/chibi/(non-official fan art or fully original to keep things smooth and fun)。
· Requirements: Watertight (manifold/water-tight), printable-ready (wall thickness ≥1.5mm, no floating parts, clean topology), good proportions, smooth surfaces, no major artifacts or deformities (especially hands/fingers/face).
· File formats: Final delivery in STL (for printing), plus OBJ/FBX if needed.
· Software: Blender, ZBrush, Maya(Blender or not)。

Project Type & Payment:
This will be Fixed-Price with clear Milestones for everyone's peace of mind.
Typical milestone breakdown (adjustable per project):
· Milestone 1 (30-40%): Low-poly/blockout or base mesh + basic proportions (delivered in 1-2 days for quick feedback).
· Milestone 2 (30-40%): High-detail sculpt/retopo + clean topology (after 1 round of revisions).
· Milestone 3 (20-30%): Final polish, thickness check, export-ready STL + renders (after final approval).
I always aim for fair and prompt payments — once a milestone is approved, funds are released right away. Budget per model varies by complexity:
· Simple/small item (e.g., keychain, accessory): $30–$80
· Medium character/figure (full body, moderate detail): $80–$150
· Complex/detailed (high-poly anime character with intricate clothing): $150–$300+

I'm hoping to build a long-term, pleasant working relationship with 1–3 reliable artists who share a love for anime/game aesthetics. If we click well, there could be steady work coming your way — weekly or bi-weekly small-to-medium projects.
To apply, please kindly include:
· A link to your portfolio (especially anime/game/character/3D print models).
· Your usual turnaround time for similar work.
· A quick note on why you'd enjoy this kind of project (optional but appreciated!).
· Your proposed fixed price range for a sample medium-complexity character.

I'm friendly, responsive, and happy to communicate via chat/messages. Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully starting a fun collaboration soon!
Thank you so much for your time and talent.
Warm regards,
AKO.
