Creative Concept Artist for Animated Film
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I'm looking for a Concept Artist / Character Designer to bring the lead character for an animated short film to life.
Logline: After spotting a magnificent "Superstar," a science-obsessed seven-year-old girl sneaks into her garden to capture it using a series of inventive homemade contraptions, ultimately discovering that pure willpower is the strongest force of all.
I'm looking for someone who can capture Helena's spirit — her curiosity, her mischief, her determination, and her tender moments of vulnerability.
What I need:
* Full character design
* Turnaround sheets (A-Pose with front view, side view, back view, three-quarter view)
* Expression sheets capturing Helena's wide emotional range — from wide-eyed wonder to frustrated stomping to pure joy
* Key outfit designs (pajamas, raincoat and rain boots, bicycle helmet with hand-scribbled "NASA" logo)
* Someone with a strong portfolio in character design, ideally for 3D animation
* Someone who understands how a character needs to "work" in motion — not just look good in a single drawing
Nice to have:
* Experience with animated short films or independent low-budget productions
* A love for storytelling and a feel for what makes a character memorable
* Familiarity with 3D animation pipelines
Project Details:
* Type: 3D animated short film (approx. 10 minutes)
* Basis: Freelance / Project-based
Just freelancer.
