Enhance Panda Character 2D Animations

2D Animator Needed – Polish Cute Panda Sprite Animations (Game-Ready, 7-Day Delivery) Description: Hi, I’m building a desktop companion app (virtual pet style) and need a skilled 2D animator to polish and enhance existing sprite animations of a cute panda character. Important: The panda design is already final. Your role is to improve animation quality and smoothness, NOT redesign the character. I will provide: • Krita (.kra) animation files • Existing sprite frames / sequences • Final reference images of the panda Scope of Work: Refine and polish the following animation states: • Idle (breathing + blinking) • Active (more alert behaviour) • Sleepy (slow, droopy movement) • Deep sleep (fully relaxed pose) • Tickle reaction (short playful response) Animation Goals: • Smooth, natural motion (no stiffness) • Clean looping animations • Subtle “alive” feeling (micro-movements: eyes, ears, body) • Consistent proportions and alignment across all states • Calm, soft, plush / toy-like feel (not exaggerated cartoon) Developer-Ready Deliverables (Important): Final output must be ready for integration by a developer. Please provide: 1. Sprite Sheets (PNG) o One per animation state o Transparent background o Consistent frame size across all states o Grid layout (clearly structured) 2. Individual Frame Sequences o Exported PNG frames (e.g. [login to view URL], [login to view URL]…) o Organised into folders by animation state 3. Consistent Alignment / Anchor Point o Character position must be consistent across all frames o “Feet/ground contact point” aligned to prevent jumping between animations 4. Loop-Ready Animations o All idle/sleep states must loop seamlessly 5. Basic Animation Notes o Suggested FPS (frames per second) for each animation o Any timing notes (e.g. slower breathing, blink intervals) 6. Source Files o Updated Krita (.kra) files Style Requirements: • Cute, soft, plush / toy-like appearance • Large expressive eyes (important) • Maintain exact visual identity (used for branding/trademark) • Minimal, calm, non-intrusive motion Timeline: • Delivery within 7 days (important) • Prefer daily or regular progress updates Budget: • Budget: $500 – $800 USD (depending on experience and quality) To Apply: Please include: • Portfolio with 2D character animation (sprite-based preferred) • Examples of smooth looping animations • Confirmation you can deliver within 7 days • Your proposed price Notes: This is Phase 1 of a longer-term project. If the result is good, there will be ongoing work (more animations, features, etc.).
