About the role

We are producing 5 animated shorts for 5 different series to be released throughout 2027.

We need about 5 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!
