Stylized Animal Character 3D Models

About the project

I’m building a library of stylized animal characters and I’m looking for a reliable 3D artist who can join me on a long-term, freelance basis. Every asset will need to sit comfortably in a medium-poly range: clean enough for real-time use, but with enough detail to read personality and charm up close. Here’s how I picture the workflow: • I supply a concept sketch, turnaround sheet, or mood board for each creature. • You block out the form, refine the silhouette, add expressive details and tidy topology so it deforms well when rigged. • UVs must be laid out efficiently and the model exported in FBX or OBJ, with the native file (Blender, Maya, or similar) included for future tweaks. • A quick clay or viewport render helps me review proportions before we move on. Most animals will be bipedal or mildly anthropomorphic, aiming for a bright, stylized look rather than full cartoon exaggeration. Consistency across the lineup is key, so an eye for proportion and style matching matters more than pushing huge polygon counts. If this sounds like your kind of work and you’re happy to tackle characters on a rolling basis, drop me a note with a link to your portfolio and a quick overview of your preferred toolset. Let’s create a memorable menagerie together.
