20-Second Blender Character Animation

I’m putting together a short, 20-second animation for pure entertainment and need a lively human character brought to life in Blender. The clip should feel upbeat and cheerful from the very first frame—think bright expressions, playful timing, and body language that instantly lifts the viewer’s mood.

You’re welcome to start from an existing rig you own or build something original; what matters most is a clean, well-weighted rig and expressive facial controls so the performance feels natural. Once the animation is approved I’ll also need basic lighting and a quick environment or backdrop that supports the fun tone without stealing focus.

Deliverables
• Final render: 1920×1080, 24 fps, 20 seconds (MP4 or MOV)
• The .blend file with all textures, rigs, and keyframes neatly organized

I’ll provide reference sketches and feedback at each milestone to keep things on track. Let me know if you have any questions about style, staging, or workflow—looking forward to seeing your character in motion!
