I’m putting together a short 2.5-D animated teaser and need a skilled artist who can sculpt, model and texture stylized characters in Blender and ZBrush.

I produce a steady stream of short-form, narrative clips built around colourful humanoid protagonists. Each scene leans heavily on expressive acting, clear facial nuance, clean body mechanics. Think of the punchy timing and rhythmic flow you see in Rennrat, but with an entirely fresh cast and world. @rennrat78/shorts Here’s what I need from you on every piece: • A polished, stylised look that matches the reference quality while remaining unmistakably original. • Story-driven animation: every gesture must support the moment, not just look cool. If you already have reels or individual shots that showcase character acting with a similar stylised flair, drop them in your bid so I can gauge fit quickly. I’m looking to build a long-term partnership and will have a f...

I already have a fully functional Moho Pro 360° character rig; the only area that needs attention is the mouth. I’m aiming for noticeable gains in BOTH mouth-shape design and overall lip-sync accuracy, with a special emphasis on tightly matching the dialogue track to the correct phonemes/visemes. What stays the same • The current fast workflow: recorded dialogue automatically drives a mouth-bone dial. • All Smart Bone Actions, head-turn mechanics, and existing layer structure. • The rig’s reliability during full 360° rotations. What needs to improve • Cleaner, more expressive mouth shapes that read well from every angle. • A smarter system—whether refined Switch Layers, enhanced Smart Bones, a fresh phoneme set, or a hybrid sol...

I need a 20-second cartoonish clip based on a picture. I’d like a locked stationary camera. The small ocean waves slowly and lazily roll toward shore with subtle shimmering reflections. The ship rocks slightly but The ship is pinned in place. with very slight movement in the sails and pirate flag from a soft sea breeze. Dune grass and leaves sway gently. Keep the lighthouse, sign, fences and beach path completely stationary. No camera movement, no zoom, no panning. No new objects or animals. Calm, subtle, seamless ambient motion, like a magical living painting. The ocean waves movement mimic the rocking of the hull of the ship. The beginning and end frames for the moving elements must keep the same trajectory and must match exactly for seamless looping. Requirements: - Moderate ani...

I need ten short 2D animations, each running close to twenty seconds, that capture the fun, exaggerated spirit of online mukbang videos. Every clip should feature lively, cartoonish characters enthusiastically working through piles of classic fast-food—think burgers, fries, fried chicken, milkshakes, pizza slices, the works—with all the playful chewing, stretching cheese pulls, and joyful reactions that make this genre so addictive. Here’s what matters most to me: • Consistency: Although the set-ups can vary, the character design, line weight, and color palette must feel like one cohesive series. • Energy: Fast cuts, expressive face swaps, and tasty close-ups should keep each twenty-second piece visually packed. • Audio-ready: I’ll add sound lat...
