Hello Blender artists,
See Princess Phiwe before replying

My family is developing an original preschool animation project called Princess Phiwe & Friends, intended for children ages 2–6. We have a locked four-view character design and are looking for a Blender character modeller who enjoys bright, stylised children’s characters.
The immediate milestone is deliberately small: Princess Phiwe’s neutral head sculpt only. We do not want the full body, costume, rig, or animation until the facial identity is approved.
The reference package contains:
- A four-view character model sheet
- Dedicated front, three-quarter, and side head references
- A brand guide
- Blender 5.2 deliverable requirements
- Clear identity and topology acceptance criteria
Required first delivery:
- Blender 5.2-compatible
.blend - Neutral child head with clean, primarily quad topology
- Separate spherical eyes
- Simple hair silhouette/blockout
- Front, three-quarter, and side renders
- Topology suitable for later blinking, smiling, and speech
This is currently a volunteer collaboration/proof milestone. We want to validate the production approach before committing to the complete cast. If the project progresses and funding becomes available, later milestones may become paid work, but no future payment is being promised at this stage.
The characters and project are original. The artist will receive clear written feedback and will be credited if their work proceeds into production. Please share examples of stylised child or animated character work if interested.
Because this is a new forum account, attachments are not yet available. The complete reference and requirements package will be shared privately with suitable interested artists after they reply.
