Mocap Fully Rigged Character with 2D Toon-Shaded Style
We are currently working on "Roxy," an exciting mixed-media project where we are bringing a 2D style animated character into the real world. We are currently producing a teaser reel/short film to serve as a proof-of-concept. We plan to achieve this 2D animated style character using a 3D model and and motion capture technology. What We Will Provide: To ensure you have everything you need to accurately capture Roxy's personality and design, we will supply comprehensive 2D reference materials, including: - Rough sketches and conceptual drawings. - Final, polished 2D character designs and turnarounds. - Detailed expression sheets (crucial for guiding facial rigging and blendshapes). The Role: We are looking for a talented 3D Character Artist and Technical Animator to take our 2D character designs and build a fully functional, production-ready 3D character. You will be responsible for the entire pipeline of this character: from the initial 3D modelling, texturing, and finally, creating a robust rig tailored for motion capture data animation. Scope of Work: - 3D Modelling: Accurately translate our provided 2D drawings into a high-quality 3D model. - Texturing/Shading: Fully texture the character to match the intended art style. - Rigging for Mocap: Build a skeletal and facial rig optimized for motion capture data retargeting. - The rig must be clean, functional, and ideally compatible with standard mocap setups (e.g., Vicon). - Weight Painting: Ensure smooth, natural deformations during movement. Technical Requirements: - Software Compatibility: The final deliverable must be fully compatible with Autodesk Maya. - File Format: The final model and rig must be delivered as an .FBX file. - Clean Topology: The model must have clean, animation-friendly edge flow. Future Opportunities: The Future: Please note that while the budget for this initial teaser phase is modest, this short film will be used to pitch for series funding and commissions. If Roxy is greenlit for a series, this role has the strong potential to evolve into an ongoing, long-term position. We will need a dedicated 3D artist to model outfit variations for Roxy, as well as design and build out a full cast of other characters within the Roxy universe. What We Need From You: - A link to your portfolio/showreel demonstrating strong character modeling, texturing, and specifically, your rigging capabilities. - A brief estimate of your turnaround time based on this description. To be considered for this role, please answer the two questions attached to this ad.

I am looking for a comic book artist to draw my short horror series. Before I go into details here’s a few things for you to know before you send in an application for the role: - No A.I. Seriously, NO A.I! Do not even bother applying or wasting my time, you are not an artist, you are lazy. I will want to see drawings and sketches to show to you are not using A.I, and if you have been then you will be fired. I want a comic artist, someone who knows about comic pages and drawings, and if you have any prior experience on projects great, if not that’s ok as well. You will be drawing some dark themes and images, not awful or too extreme (Such as child mur-der or over the top gore). There will be some sex scenes or sexual acts and some violence but nothing over the top or super-super gore. This is not 100% required but I wouldn’t mind someone from England, as the comic takes place in England and we need to capture the grittiness of England and it’s people. My spelling and grammar can be awful sometimes, but reset assured I have hired an editor and someone who has spelled checked and grammar corrected my work, so the dialogue is correct and edited. Details of the project. I have been working on 6 short stories focusing on the occult within Northampton. If you like Alan Moore or the early John Constantine Hellblazer's you’ll hopefully like this. This story focus on magick (Yes, Magick with a K), taking inspiration from occultist like (Mainly) Aleister Crowley, John Dee and the gothic work of H.P Lovecraft. If you like the occult and magick, great! The story, for a brief summery, is about different people in Northampton and is a kind of pulp- fiction like story, where some events and characters cross over or impact others. I want to contain the details of the story due to not wanting to give too much away unless you are my artist. You will have to sign a contract saying you will not share or copy my work, even if you aren’t my artist and have made it through to the next stage. Just because this project is important to me and I have worked really hard on it for a few months and I don’t want someone to copy it or steal my ideas. All of the stories will be in black and white with only blood for colour, and the styles are usually simple realistic drawings - Think Hellblazer, swamp thing, Mr.A that kind of stuff (I’ll link some pages below). But there will be some different styles, such as how pages are laid out or maybe a different tone. One story is a cinema story, so there will be pages where it looks like the comic is a film tape burning or with film flickers. But you will have all this covered in a guide book. Now this book will detail everything, character designs, locations, styles, covers. Everything. Then on each comic layout you will have extra details relating to that issue. You will also have details on each page, such as how the page will look and what we see. A lot of the details for this project will be in the guidebook, so if you are chosen, or make it to the next stages of wanting to be my artist, I will send you the guide book and that will give you a better idea of what I want from you and what will be seen in this project. The goal of this project is to be my start in comics. I will be putting this online, on globalcomix and will also be submitting it to be published. This is the start of a long series involving Northampton and the occult, so you never know, if this goes well we might be working a lot more together and publishing our work in hopefully big companies. My goal is to submit this to Image comics, Dark horse or other major companies who are mainly independent. No Marvel or DC, not after what they did to Alan Moore and how Stan Lee took the credit for most of Marvel. As I work full-time I will be paying you per page when we are both free. I’m not expecting this to be done in a weeks time. I might pay you in one go depending on the price, but I will be looking to do a kickstarter and go fund me to help out. I can pay you, but it might not be in one go or maybe a few pages per month. One thing I will mention is you do have creative freedom, I will allow you to make suggestions or some ideas on maybe different angles or pages. I am very open and approachable. If you wish to apply please go ahead and we can discuss this further. If you have any proof of your work please submit that as well so I can have a look at your work. Again, NO A.I! Thank you for reading. (When you submit please state your per page cost, or maybe bundle deals, examples of work, a bit about you, and if you want to (Optional) your favourite comic character, series or anyone important in comics you like. In no real order, write however you like)
