Hi!I'm looking for a 3D character artist to work on an indie game project. I need someone who can create game-ready 3D characters, including modeling and texturing, and preferably rigging.The project mainly uses a pixel/PSX-inspired visual style, although we still require 3D character models.
Important — References & Confidentiality
I will provide multiple visual references, examples, and clear art direction for the commissioned character.
However, this is a confidential original project. Please do not repeatedly ask me to provide direct project references, unreleased materials, or confidential assets after sufficient visual references have already been provided.
I expect a professional character artist to be able to work from the references and art direction provided, conduct reasonable visual research when necessary, and develop the character accordingly.
If several references have already been provided and you still cannot proceed without repeatedly requesting additional project-specific material, then we are probably not a suitable fit. Please do not waste either party's time.
You are completely free to dislike me, disagree with my requirements, or decide that you do not want to work with me. I have no problem with that. However, coming into my recruitment thread to make baseless accusations, speculate disrespectfully about the purpose of my project, or use the comment section to vent personal dissatisfaction is neither appropriate nor professional.
If a collaboration does not work out, both sides are free to walk away. Turning a failed potential collaboration into unsupported public accusations only makes me question your professional judgment and whether you still need more experience in handling professional relationships.
Commercial Terms
Any commissioned work will be handled under a clear commercial agreement covering payment, usage rights, ownership/licensing, confidentiality, and credits.
Generative AI is not permitted. Character designs, models, and textures must be created by the artist. In particular, textures must not be AI-generated or created from AI-generated images.
If you're interested, please reply with your portfolio, rates, and whether you provide modeling, hand-painted/manual texturing, and rigging.
