Stylized 3D Character Models for Children’s Animation

About the project

I am looking for an experienced 3D character artist to convert two original, human-created 2D character designs—a young girl and her kitten companion—into polished, stylized 3D characters suitable for high-quality children’s animation. I already have the 2D designs ready and will share them with the selected artist to assist in the conversion process. Deliverables (for each of the two characters): - One completed, non-rigged 3D character model. - One neutral character sheet showing front, three-quarter, side, and back views. - High-resolution PNG of each view. - Transparent-background PNG of the front and three-quarter views. - Original editable 3D source file, preferably Blender format. - Any textures or materials required to open and render the source file correctly. Key Requirements: - Premium, appealing stylized 3D animation aesthetic. - Warm, expressive design suitable for children aged approximately 6–9. - Clean topology suitable for animation. - Original facial identity must be preserved; no generic stock-character appearance. - No changes to the designs without written approval. Revisions: Up to 3 rounds of revisions per character are included to ensure the final models meet the requirements. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Proven experience in creating stylized 3D characters for animation. - Strong skills in modeling, texturing, and rendering using Blender or Maya. - Ability to work collaboratively and incorporate feedback.
