Assistant illustrator - music video
🎨 We are looking for an assistant-illustrator for an atmospheric 2D animated music video
We are working on a project with a very interesting visual — a love story against the background of a gradual apocalyptic catastrophe. The clip is already in production, we have a clear style, colors, and references, but we need more hands to meet the final deadline — August 31.
About the project
This is a 2D animated music video about a couple fleeing across Europe by car, escaping from war. Throughout the video, they live a whole life together — from youth to old age. In the background, landscapes of nature and cities change, gradually being destroyed. The style is detailed, sometimes dramatic, with expressive color accents.
What needs to be done?
We need to draw about 4 illustrations per week in ProCreate. The entire creative part (style, colors, mood) is already approved — you will only need to technically and accurately reproduce the style and assemble the final scenes.
You can take one or several directions:
✅ 1) Character line art — refine clean contours of characters based on ready sketches and references in our style.
✅ 2) Backgrounds — create background images based on provided sketches, colors, and examples.
✅ 3) Coloring — apply colors to finished line art and backgrounds, strictly following the palette and detailing each element on a separate layer (for animation)
Who are we looking for?
A person who has ProCreate.
At least intermediate level of English to understand tasks
Experience creating illustrations for animation (preferably understanding the principles of layers and file naming).
Ready to quickly get started and complete an illustration within 1–2 days.
How do we work?
You communicate directly with the lead illustrator.
Once a week, we hold joint calls to discuss progress.
The illustrator provides sketches, colors, explanations.
Your task — to refine clear final illustrations.
Budget per illustration:
💲 Character line art — $28
💲 Backgrounds — $17
💲 Coloring — $17
We are looking for 1–2 people to join the team immediately.
✉️ If you are interested in the project — briefly tell us about your experience, show a portfolio in a similar style, and specify which tasks you are ready to take on.
Don’t delay — it is very important for us to expand the team as soon as possible!

I am very interested in your atmospheric 2D animated music video project. The story of love against the backdrop of an apocalyptic disaster sounds incredibly exciting and visually powerful. As an illustrator, I am looking for projects like this that allow me to realize deep ideas through art.
About myself and my experience
I have experience working with ProCreate and am proficient in it, which allows me to quickly and quality create digital illustrations. My level of English is sufficient for free communication and understanding all technical tasks.
I understand well the principles of working with layers and file structuring, which is critically important for animation projects. My strong suit is attention to detail and the ability to accurately reproduce the specified style, which is key to maintaining a consistent visual of the clip. I am ready to quickly get started and complete tasks within tight deadlines (1-2 days per illustration).
… What tasks am I ready to take on?
I am ready to work on all three areas you mentioned, as I have experience in each of them:
✅ Character Lineart: I confidently work on outlining clean contours based on sketches and references, ensuring precise style reproduction.
✅ Backgrounds: I have experience creating atmospheric background images, following the given sketches, colors, and examples. This is especially important for conveying the gradual destruction of landscapes.
✅ Color: I am very attentive to the palette and can accurately apply colors to finished lineart and backgrounds, carefully detailing each element on a separate layer, which is critically important for subsequent animation.
