Manga Character Design Specialist
Budget: $5,000 – $10,000 USD
I’m looking for a skilled character designer to create 26+ original character designs for a manga project.
This is not just illustration work—I need full character design and visual identity development.
What I Need:
Each character should include:
- Full-body design (clean lineart + color)
- Outfit design (modern, traditional, or fantasy depending on character)
- 2–3 expressions OR a secondary pose
- Clear silhouette and recognizable visual identity
Creative Direction:
Characters should visually communicate distinct traits such as:
- Dominant / powerful
- Mysterious / reserved
- Charismatic / heroic
- Playful / chaotic
Each design should feel unique and instantly recognizable within the same world.
Style:
- Anime / manga inspired
- Strong understanding of anatomy, proportions, and stylization
- Ability to adapt style slightly per character while maintaining overall consistency
Important:
- I value design thinking, not just drawing skill
- Characters should feel like they belong to a larger world (not random Pinterest-inspired designs)
- Strong communication and ability to interpret references is required
To Apply:
Please include:
- Portfolio (character design or manga/anime work preferred)
- Your rate per character or per sheet
- What is included in your character sheets (poses, expressions, etc.)
This is a long-term project, so I’m looking for someone reliable and consistent.
