Title: Hiring a Blender artist for paid 1:1 mentoring - anime chibi character modeling

---

Hi,

I’m hiring a Blender artist for paid 1:1 mentoring in anime chibi character modeling, from scratch in Blender. Reference style below.

1. Type of project: Paid 1:1 mentoring. I learn by doing work and getting direct feedback from someone experienced, tutorials and courses don’t work well for me. Looking for an ongoing arrangement where I produce work, send it, and get feedback / answers to my questions.

2. Individual or company: Individual. I’m a freelance UX/UI designer in Dublin, learning 3D as a side skill. Portfolio: davidbalinga.com

3. What I’m looking for: A Blender artist experienced with anime / chibi / VTuber-style character modeling from scratch (not VRoid-based). Must be comfortable teaching a beginner. Teaching experience is a plus but not required, what matters is that you can explain your workflow and give clear feedback on my work.

4. Deadline: Ongoing, recurring arrangement. I’d like to work together over months, not a one-off session.

5. Description: Goal is to learn to produce stylized anime chibi character renders in the style shown in the reference images below (made fully in Blender). I’ll do the work between sessions, you give feedback, answer questions, and guide what I tackle next.

   Fully async only. I don’t do live calls. Written feedback, screenshots, recorded video reviews (Loom etc.) all work great. Please don’t reply if live sessions are required.

6. Budget: €60–€120/month range for async mentoring, depending on the format and your experience. If your usual rates are higher, please still reply, I’m open to smaller / lighter arrangements that fit both sides.
