Hi,
I’m looking to hire a Blender artist for paid async support as I learn stylized 3D character work. Not a one-off project, and not traditional hourly tutoring, more like ongoing access to someone experienced who can unstick me when I hit walls.
-
Type of project: Async mentorship / critique. Stylized 3D character modeling, shading, and rendering in Blender. Reference style below, clean stylized Nintendo/Kirby-adjacent fan-art look (soft shading, simple geometry, Eevee-style renders).
-
Individual or company: Individual. I’m a freelance UX/UI designer based in Dublin learning 3D as a serious side skill. Portfolio: davidbalinga.com
-
What I’m looking for: A mid-to-senior Blender artist comfortable with stylized character work. Two formats I’m open to (or a mix):
- Async Q&A: I send screenshots / Blender files when I’m stuck, you reply within 24–48hrs. Monthly flat rate.
- Paid critique: I send finished or in-progress work, you record a Loom-style video review. Per-review rate.
-
Deadline: Ongoing, recurring arrangement preferred.
-
Description: I want to build the skill seriously over months, not learn a single trick. Async-only is ideal, I work async by default and don’t do live calls. Written feedback or recorded video reviews work best for me.
-
Budget: I’m a junior freelancer with limited income, so I can’t match standard hourly tutoring rates. Realistic monthly budget is in the €40–€80 range for async Q&A, or €20–€40 per recorded critique. If your rates are higher, totally understand, please share them anyway in case we can find a smaller arrangement that works for both of us.
Reply here or email hi@davidbalinga.com. Async DMs welcome.
Thanks!
Thanks!
