[PAID] 3D Character Modeler needed — 7 stylized characters, 2-week turnaround

Hi all,

We’re looking to hire a 3D character artist to build a set of 7 characters based on existing concept designs we already have. Answers to the standard questions below.

1. Type of project: 3D character modeling. We need clean, render-ready character models only. Deliverables would be the model files plus turnaround renders that match the look of our reference art.

2. Company or individual: Company (not launched yet, this is for launch)

3. What we’re looking for:

  • Experienced 3D character artist comfortable with stylized, slightly surreal character design (think soft, sculptural, almost claymation-like figures rather than realistic anatomy)
  • Strong sense of form, proportion, and material, our reference has a distinctive felted/matte texture that’s important to nail
  • Able to deliver high-quality renders that match a provided visual target
  • Available to start next week and commit to a roughly 1-2 week turnaround for all 7 characters

4. Deadline: Start next week, 1-2 weeks total project duration.

5. Project description:
We have concept art for 7 distinct characters that share a consistent visual language. As an example, one of the characters is a stylized figure with bright pink skin and hair styled in a stacked double bun, wearing round black glasses, dressed in an oversized cream/off-white suit (loose blazer, wide-leg trousers, matching shirt) with chunky beige boots, and carrying a taupe leather tote bag. The overall aesthetic is matte, slightly fuzzy/textured (almost like felted wool or soft sculpture). All 7 characters follow this same world and finish, we’ll share full reference for each upon hiring.

For each character we need:

  • Final 3D model, clean topology
  • Source files delivered at the end of the project

6. Budget: Open. Please send your rate or a quote for the full 7-character package along with your portfolio.

If interested, please email [email protected] with:

  • Portfolio link (especially any stylized character work)
  • Your rate or project quote
  • Confirmation you can start next week

Thanks!
