I will create stylized 3d animal character models and rigging for games and animation


About this gig
Need a stylized 3D animal character that is ready to become part of your game or animation?
I create custom 3D animal characters from your concept, sketch, 2D artwork, or reference. Whether you need a cute mascot, fantasy creature, cartoon animal, or stylized game character, I can build the model around your visual style and intended use.
I focus on keeping the character visually appealing while making the underlying model practical for the way you plan to use it.
Depending on your project, I can provide:
- Stylized 3D animal character modeling
- Game-ready topology and optimized models
- UVs, textures, and materials
- Character rigging for animation
- Facial expressions and basic deformation setup
- Files prepared for Unity, Unreal Engine, or your animation workflow
The goal is a character that not only looks right, but is structured for the way you plan to use it.
Send me your concept and project requirements before ordering, and Ill help determine the right modeling, rigging, and file setup for your character.
