Character Artist | 3D Stylized

I create stylized 3D characters for mobile, web, PC, and console games. I can turn your concept art into a fully textured, rigged, and animated character ready for Unity. I also model and animate cartoon characters for animated shorts and promotional videos. I have 10+ years of experience in 3D art, including 5+ years in games. For my animated short Moo Jack, I modeled, rigged, and animated a stylized cow. I also rendered and composited the final shots. Depending on your project, I can help with: • Character modeling and texturing for games and cartoons. I match your art style, build clean topology for animation, and optimize game characters for your target platform. • Rigging and skinning in Maya for expressive poses and clean movement. I can also build reusable humanoid rigs so multiple game characters can share animations. • Character animation for gameplay and cartoon scenes, from run cycles and attacks to gestures, reactions, and character acting. • Game-ready delivery with Unity prefabs, materials, and animation clips, or a rig compatible with the Unreal Engine Mannequin. • Lighting, rendering, and compositing for animated shorts and promotional videos. My main tools include Maya, Blender, ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, and Unity. As a Top Rated freelancer with 100% Job Success, I value clear communication, reliable delivery, and clean, editable production files. Send me your character references, target platform, and what you need for delivery. I can help you plan the steps from the first model to the final character.
