Illustrators are required for an animation project based on the Bible.
Before submitting your application, please read the project description. I look forward to your budget proposals and information on whether you can create illustrations in the style according to the sample (below).
I am looking for experienced illustrators to participate in a large-scale animation project based on the Bible, aimed at bringing ancient stories to life through high-quality and emotionally engaging visual effects.
Project Overview:
The project involves illustrating over 450 images that will serve as the visual foundation for the animated retelling of biblical stories.
What I am looking for:
Strong illustration skills with a polished, animation-ready style (approximately Disney/Pixar level quality)
The ability to follow visual guidelines and stay on model for consistent character and environment design
Experience with expressive characters, storytelling, and dynamic compositions
Mastery of color, lighting, and mood creation
High attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines
Responsiveness to feedback
Artistic style:
Cinematic 2D style with clean lines, rich colors, and expressive characters.
SAMPLE (EXAMPLE) provided in the attached files.
Project Scope:
More than 450 images need to be created (the workload may be distributed)
Rate: 500-1500 per image, depending on quality and adherence to style. Or propose your budget.
All work must be original and provided in a layered PSD format or similar.
Please send a portfolio with examples demonstrating character design, environment work, and storytelling ability. If you have worked on projects with a unified animation style, I would be happy to see those examples.
Project Brief:
The project will bring to life the story of the birth of Moses through fully rendered illustrations based on an existing storyboard. The project will last at least one to two months.
Responsibilities:
- Create final colored illustrations based on the existing storyboard.
- Ensure that characters match the style of the illustrations and the provided layouts and color palettes.
- Collaborate with the director to ensure quality and consistency.
Project Details:
- Total scenes: 31 (approximately 15 images per scene).
- Final art: 465 images required.
- Time required to work on each image: The maximum time allocated for creating one image is 2 days.
Importantly:
A person is needed who can also adhere to formatting rules to ensure the efficiency and clarity of the entire project. Make sure that each layer in your illustrative document is neatly structured, properly named, and grouped to facilitate navigation.
Directors will specify which elements of the illustration should be on separate layers for each image.
For most shots, we will need the following layers:
Characters;
Background;
Foreground/midground/background elements;
Effects (light rays, dust particles, smoke and steam, fire and flames, sparks and glows, water and splashes, weather...);
Document setup:
Width: 19.2 inches
Height: 10.8 inches
Resolution: 300 pixels/inch
Color mode: RGB Color, 8-bit
