Character Illustrator + After Effects Rigging
We’re looking for a skilled illustrator + motion designer to take an existing AI generated character mockup and turn it into a fully custom, original character, staying very close to the original look and style but not AI. Once illustrated, you’ll build a clean, well organized After Effects rig so we can easily create different versions of the character without re-animating from scratch. What you’ll be doing Re-drawing an AI character mockup into a custom, original illustration Keeping the design very close to the reference (style, proportions, vibe) Preparing the artwork properly for animation (layered, clean, organized) Creating an After Effects character rig that allows us to: Control facial expressions Adjust eyes / blinks / eye direction Swap or animate mouth shapes Change hand positions / arm poses Create different character poses and variations quickly What we’re looking for Strong illustration skills (cartoon / character-based styles) Solid After Effects experience Experience with character rigging (Duik, RubberHose, Joysticks n Sliders, or similar) Clean project organization (this matters a lot) Ability to match an existing style very closely Comfortable collaborating and iterating Apply tot his job
