Lead Character Designer
About the role
We are producing 5 animated shorts for 5 different series to be released throughout 2027.
We need about 4 character designs for each animated short.
About the animated shorts:
1. How to Man
Everything in Jerry’s life makes him feel emasculated. His wife is the breadwinner, his son gets more tail than he ever has, and his one-year-old daughter can beat him in an arm wrestle.
2. Leopetra
When Moki fails to save an innocent woman getting mugged in an alley because he’s too weak and small, he asks his grandpa to use his magic to make him bigger.
3. Shapes!
Little Timmy has a bad habit of setting innocent animals on fire and it’s up to Norman and Chipper to help him kick it.
4. Fairhollow
Logline Coming Soon
5. Steve the Alien
It’s the year 2050 and humans have lost interest in aliens after knowing they exist for decades. Steve the Alien tries to get people excited about them again by hosting live Q&As.
