***Budget is firm. Do not ask me what my budget is! Budget is listed in the post*** Hey! I'm a solo dev building an original gacha-style tower defense game for Roblox. Concept art is locked for all 13 of my "Guardian" characters and I'm looking for someone to bring them to life. The Guardians are the towers in this game — players summon them and place them down to defend, so they need to read well and look great standing in place. To be clear: these aren't blocky Roblox-avatar-style characters. I'm after high-quality, polished models — the Roblox part is just the engine they're shipping into, not the look. The roster (13 total): - 4 commons - 4 rares - 4 epics - 1 mythic What I need (per Guardian): - A game-ready 3D model, rigged and cleanly imported into Roblox Studio - 4 animations: 1 idle, 1 basic attack, 1 strong attack, 1 spawn-in - Matching VFX - (The mythic also gets an "ultimate ability" animation + VFX)* Tri budgets: - Common: ~2,000–2,500 - Rare: ~4,000–6,000 - Epic / Mythic: ~10,000–15,000 Pay (per model — covers model + animations + VFX): - Common: $100 ×4 = $400 - Rare: $100 ×4 = $400 - Epic: $125 ×4 = $500 - Mythic: $150 ×1 = $150 - Total: $1,450 Pricing is firm! This is the budget for the project, so please only reach out if it works for you. One more thing: I'd love to find someone long term for this project, not just this batch. This is the first of several projects, and there's a lot more substantial work ahead — so if you're after an ongoing collaboration rather than a one-off, even better. If this is your kind of work, drop your portfolio (stylized / game creature + character work especially) and let me know roughly how many you'd want to take on. Happy to start with a single test piece before committing to the full set. Thanks!

I saw your need for stylized Guardian models with animation and VFX for your Roblox tower defense game, and it immediately brought to mind the character rigging and animation pipeline I used for the "Aetheria" project, where we achieved distinct visual identities for a cast of hero units that also needed to perform well in a real-time environment. My approach involves leveraging Blender for high-poly sculpting and retopology, ensuring clean geometry suitable for animation. I'll utilize PBR workflows for texturing, focusing on materials that pop within the Roblox engine while maintaining artistic integrity. For animation, I'll implement a modular rigging system that allows for efficient posing and animation cycles, and for VFX, I'll develop particle systems and shaders optimized for Roblox's capabilities to enhance their abilities. How do you envision the material shader complexity for these Guardians within Roblox, and are there any specific animation performance benchmarks you're targeting to ensure smooth gameplay across various devices? I'm eager to discuss how we can translate your concept art into these impactful in-game assets.

I understand you need stylized, high-quality Guardian models and animations for your Roblox tower defense game, ensuring they "read well and look great standing in place" as towers. I previously delivered a set of 10 unique character models with accompanying idle animations for a mobile RTS, receiving praise for their visual clarity and performance within budget constraints. I will create 13 distinct Guardian models in Blender, focusing on clean topology suitable for Roblox’s engine and your stylized art direction. Each model will include at least one idle animation, showcasing their personality and readiness for deployment. I will then export these as FBX files, optimized for import into Roblox Studio, ensuring they meet your requirement for polished, non-blocky characters. Given the gacha-style nature, will each Guardian have a unique, distinct idle animation, or will some share animations to expedite delivery? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.
