Cartoonish Character Illustrations

We are looking for a talented illustrator to create high-quality, scene-based illustrations that will be used in animations. The illustrations will be designed as per the scenes provided in our storyboard/document and must align with our project’s visual style.

You will be working with Storyset’s Character Pana style (https://storyset.com/
) to ensure consistency, clarity, and adaptability for animation. As these files will be animated, special attention must be given to layer organization, grouping, and naming conventions within Adobe Illustrator.

Responsibilities

- Create custom illustrations for each scene provided in the storyboard/document.
- Use Character Pana style (Storyset) as the design reference.
- Deliver illustrations in Adobe Illustrator (.AI) format with well-structured, properly named layers for smooth animation handoff.
- Ensure all character and object elements are separated into layers (e.g., head, body, arms, legs, props, backgrounds).
- Collaborate with the animation team to adapt illustrations for motion.
- Maintain brand consistency, visual appeal, and storytelling clarity across all scenes.
- Make revisions based on feedback from the creative team.

Requirements

- Strong portfolio showcasing illustration skills, preferably with flat/vector style characters.
- Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and vector-based illustration.
- Experience creating illustrations for animation purposes (layer separation, rig-ready assets).
- Familiarity with Storyset / Character Pana style is a big plus.
- Strong attention to detail in layer structure and naming conventions.
- Ability to work within deadlines and adapt based on feedback.

Deliverables

- Scene-based illustrations as per the storyboard/document.
- Editable .AI files with the following conventions:
- Layer Naming Examples:

Character_Head
Character_LeftArm
Character_RightLeg
Prop_Table
BG_Sky

- Each scene grouped and organized for easy export.
- Final files prepared and delivered in formats ready for animation.


Nice to Have

- Prior experience working with motion graphics / animation teams.
- Knowledge of After Effects or similar tools to understand animation workflows.
- Creativity to suggest visual enhancements to scenes.
