Concept Artist / Character Designer

Concept Artist / Character Designer — World Shift

I'm looking for a concept artist/character designer to help establish the final visual identity of World Shift, an original sci-fi animated webseries.

The main characters already have established appearances, personalities, clothing, and story roles. Your job will be to translate those written concepts into finalized visual designs that can later be used by the modeling and animation team.

Work may include character concept art, expression sheets, character turnarounds/reference sheets, alternate outfits, props, and additional visual development when needed.

Visual Style: World Shift is aiming for a stylized 2D/3D hybrid look. The final animation should have dimensional characters, environments, lighting, and camera movement while maintaining a strong illustrated/2D-inspired appearance.

Main Characters: Elisha Mercer, Leon Sterling, Maya Hayes, and The Hunter.

What I'm looking for: Strong stylized human character design, expressive faces, consistent proportions, clothing design, and the ability to work from detailed written character descriptions. You should also be comfortable collaborating with the rest of the art/animation team so the designs can eventually be translated into animation.

Application: Please include examples of your artwork or a portfolio. Character designs, expression sheets, turnarounds, or similar work are especially helpful.

This is currently an unpaid passion project. All artists will receive proper credit for their work.
