I have an original cartoon set in a playful, space-themed world that needs finishing touches and a short 3D animation sequence. The visual tone must stay firmly in a vibrant cartoon style even though the final output is 3D. Think bright colours, exaggerated expressions, rockets, planets, and quirky zero-gravity antics. The current assets include rough concept sketches, a partial storyboard, and a handful of model sheets. What I need now is a skilled illustrator-animator who can: • Refine and extend the existing character and environment designs to production-ready art • Model, rig, and animate a brief scene (60–90 seconds) in 3D while preserving the light, cartoony feel • Deliver clean, layered source files (PSD/AI for illustrations; Blender, Maya, or equivalent for the 3D work) plus a rendered 1080p video Once this first project is wrapped, I’d like to carry the same characters into an upcoming series of illustrated books for early readers, so consistency and a warm, engaging aesthetic are key. Please share a link to at least one cartoon-style project you have both illustrated and animated in 3D. A quick note on your preferred software pipeline and your estimated turnaround time will help me lock in the schedule.
