Realistic High-Poly Humanoid Character Creation

Hi! I’m looking for a skilled Blender 3D artist to help build 3D character models and rigs for a serialized visual project (Dark Cloud universe). You’ll be responsible for:
• Creating clean base meshes (characters like Klaatu [a combat robot] and Dark Cloud [female heroine] assets)
• Topology suitable for rigging + animation
• Rig setup with functional deformation (basic body + facial controls)
• Delivering source files (Blender format .blend, UVs, textures)
• Iterative feedback integration with me
Requirements:
• Strong Blender modeling + topology + rigging experience
• Portfolio showing characters ready for animation
• Good communication (feedback loop with me as director)
Deliverables / Expectations:
• One fully rigged character model to start (scope TBD)
• Milestone structure with checkpoints for feedback
• Clear deliverables (files, naming conventions, versioning)
• Inclusive of revisions within reason
Budget & Timeline:
• Open to hourly or fixed pricing
• Please include your typical rates and estimated hours
How to Apply:
• Portfolio link / examples of similar work
• Short cover note on relevant experience
• Estimated timeline for first character
I'm currently learning Blender character modeling and rigging myself, but time constraits make it necessary for me to reach out. Looking forward to collaborating!
