Character Design and Rigging (Moho) Offline

We are looking for a skilled Character Designer and Rigger to create original reinterpretations of two iconic characters inspired by Charlie Chaplin–style silent film aesthetics and classic 1930s cartoon characters similar to Betty Boop.

⚠️ Important: Designs must be fully original reinterpretations and not AI-generated. We are looking for handcrafted, artist-driven work with strong personality and animation-ready structure.

All base assets and references will be provided as starting material.

🛠 Responsibilities

• Design original character versions while maintaining inspiration from classic archetypes
• Ensure strong silhouettes, expressive poses, and animation-friendly proportions
• Build clean, well-structured Moho rigs
• Set up bone rigging, smart bones, constraints, and facial controls
• Organize layers and naming conventions for smooth animation workflow

✅ Requirements

• Proven experience in 2D character design
• Strong experience rigging characters in Moho
• Solid understanding of animation principles and deformation
• Ability to create clean, non-AI-generated artwork
• Attention to detail and production-ready file organization

⭐ Nice to Have
