I’m commissioning a short 3D anime-style clip that showcases an original character performing a modern / contemporary dance routine. I don’t have any existing artwork, so the character’s look, clothing, hair, and overall vibe will come entirely from your imagination—just stay true to that crisp, stylised anime feel (cel-shaded or toon-lit renders are welcome). Here’s the flow I have in mind: we first agree on a rough character concept, then move into modelling, rigging, and finally the full dance animation. I’m flexible on the clip length as long as the choreography feels complete and expressive; typical music-video timing (30–60 seconds) is perfect, but let’s discuss what suits your workflow. Deliverables • Finished HD video file (MP4 or MOV, 24–30 fps) • The fully rigged 3D character file (Blender, Maya, or similar) with textures and shaders intact • Animation source file / project file so I can make tweaks or reuse the rig in future projects • One playblast or preview draft for feedback before final render Acceptance criteria • Smooth, believable modern/contemporary movement that reads clearly on first watch • Clean cel-shaded or otherwise anime-appropriate render style, free of artefacts • Character design aligns with the agreed concept sheet and is free for my unrestricted use If you love bringing stylised characters to life and have a solid reel of dance or performance animation, I’d love to see your work and nail down the next steps together.

Hello, I can bring your original anime-style character to life in a 3D dance animation that captures the energy and style of modern/contemporary choreography. Starting from a collaborative concept phase, I’ll design a character with expressive features, detailed cel-shaded textures, and clothing that fits the anime aesthetic. Once approved, I’ll model, rig, and animate the character to perform a smooth, dynamic dance routine that reads clearly at first watch. Deliverables: HD animated video (MP4 or MOV, 24–30 fps) Fully rigged 3D character file (Blender, Maya, or similar) with textures and shaders intact Project/animation source file for future tweaks or reuse One preview/playblast draft for feedback before final render I’ll ensure the choreography looks natural, the render style is clean and stylised, and the character design is fully yours for unrestricted use. Important questions for clarity: Do you already have a specific music track or tempo to sync the dance to? Should the character design lean more realistic anime proportions or super-stylized / exaggerated? Best regards, Mahad Hasan | 3D Anime & Character Animation Expert

Hi there, This project sounds like a lot of fun and very much in my lane. I’ve worked on anime-style 3D characters in Blender, including cel-shaded looks and performance-based animation. I’m comfortable handling the full pipeline — character concept, modeling, clean topology for animation, rigging, and expressive dance movement. I usually start with a rough character sketch and style reference to lock the vibe fast, then move into modeling and rigging. For dance, I focus on clear silhouettes, strong poses, and smooth transitions so the movement reads well even on first watch. A 30–60 second clip is totally doable, and I’m happy to adapt the choreography to fit the music and mood. You’ll get the final HD render, the fully rigged character file, and the full project so you can reuse or tweak it later. I also always share a preview/playblast before final render to make sure we’re aligned. Happy to share samples of stylised character and animation work and discuss timeline next.
