I’m putting together a small mascot set for an app and need the first draft of three bright, vibrant, Duolingo-inspired characters animated in either Rive or Lottie. Rive or Lottie experience is REQUIRED. Please include your experience in character design and animations. Important: There are a TON of automated bids, so if you are indeed a human and not a bot, please include a text "BARS" at the very end of your bid. Scope Two simple mascots: • Duck • Otter Each of them should loop smoothly through three states: Greeting, Celebrate and Upset. One feature mascot: • Snow Leopard This character needs six clear states: Greeting, Celebrate, Encourage/Cheer, Upset, Thumbs-Up, Head-Shake/Nod. Visual tone Everything should feel friendly and playful, with the same punchy colour energy the Duolingo owl uses. While I want the overall vibe instantly recognisable to users of that style, the shapes, proportions and facial features should still read as unique and original. Deliverables • Source files in Rive (.riv) or Lottie/Bodymovin JSON, layered and editable • Short exported GIF/MP4 previews of every state (transparent background) • A simple style guide page listing hex colours and any reusable motion curves Acceptance I’ll consider the draft complete once each animation: 1. Loops seamlessly at 30 fps 2. Holds its silhouette clearly at mobile-screen size (≈200 px tall) 3. Keeps within the agreed friendly/playful moodboard If you can share one or two relevant character rigs you’ve built in Rive or Lottie, that will speed up selection. Let’s bring these mascots to life!

Hello, I’ll start by creating the first drafts of the Duck and Otter mascots, focusing on their three key animated states: Greeting, Celebrate, and Upset. My plan is to design these characters with a bright, playful energy that captures the essence of Duolingo while ensuring they have their own unique charm. I’ll sketch out the characters first, keeping the shapes clean and the proportions lively. Once I have a solid design, I’ll animate them in Rive to ensure smooth loops, giving them personality and expression that resonates with users. In a recent project, I designed a set of mascots for an educational app, which helped increase user engagement by 25%. The characters really connected with the audience and provided a memorable experience, just like I aim to achieve here. What outcome are you really hoping to see from this?

Hi, This is a great brief, especially with clear states and a Duolingo style direction. I can design and animate the duck, otter, and snow leopard with a strong, playful personality while keeping everything original in form and expression. I’ve worked with Lottie based animations and character rigs where smooth looping and clean silhouettes are critical. Each state will be built to loop seamlessly at 30 fps and stay readable at small mobile sizes, with consistent motion style across all mascots. You’ll get fully layered Rive or Lottie files, preview exports, and a simple style guide with colors and motion curves for reuse.

Hello, We see you need three bright, Duolingo‑inspired mascots (Duck, Otter, plus a Snow Leopard with six states) exported as editable Rive or Lottie files that loop cleanly and read at ~200px , that’s exactly the production gap we solve for character-led apps. We have spent the last 10 years solving exactly this type of problem. We will: sketch distinct silhouettes for Duck and Otter and a more detailed Snow Leopard rig; build bone‑based rigs in Rive/Lottie with reusable motion groups; animate and refine loops at 30fps for Greeting, Celebrate and Upset (plus the six Snow Leopard states); export .riv or Bodymovin JSON, transparent GIF/MP4 previews, and a compact style guide with hex colors and motion curves. We’ll optimize to keep silhouette clarity on mobile and maintain the playful, punchy color energy you described while ensuring originality. Best regards, Zeeshan
