I'm building an original gacha-style tower defense game and need a skilled 3D character artist to bring my Guardian roster to life. Concept art is fully locked and ready to share. The Guardians are the towers in the game. Players summon and place them, so they need strong silhouettes, clear rarity reads, and polished execution. To be clear: this is not a blocky Roblox-avatar-style project. The engine is Roblox Studio, but the art direction is high-quality and stylized. The full roster is 13 Guardians across four rarity tiers: 4 Commons, 4 Rares, 4 Epics, and 1 Mythic. Each Guardian requires: A game-ready 3D model, rigged and cleanly imported into Roblox Studio. Four animations: idle, basic attack, strong attack, and spawn-in. Matching VFX tied to the character's theme and rarity. The Mythic also gets an additional ultimate ability animation and VFX set. What I'm looking for in a freelancer: Proven experience with stylized 3D character modeling and rigging. Strong animation work, especially for game-ready characters. VFX experience for Roblox or comparable real-time engines. Clean Roblox Studio import workflow. Comfortable working from locked concept art. Reliable communication and ability to deliver consistently across a multi-character project. I'd like to start with a single test piece before committing to the full roster. If the quality and workflow are a good fit, this becomes an ongoing collaboration with more substantial work ahead. Please include a portfolio with stylized character and creature work when applying. Bonus if you have Roblox or similar game engine experience.

The challenge lies in crafting unique, visually appealing 3D Guardians for a gacha-style tower defense game within Roblox Studio's constraints. My approach involves leveraging my extensive experience in stylized 3D character modeling and rigging to ensure strong silhouettes, clear rarity differentiation, and polished execution. I prioritize creating game-ready assets with captivating animations and thematic VFX that enhance player immersion. With a proven track record in game asset creation, robust animation skills, and expertise in Roblox Studio workflows, I am well-equipped to tackle this project. My question: How flexible is the concept art in terms of incorporating minor design tweaks for better gameplay integration? Depending on the answer, I can either propose two paths: one focusing on quick iterations to meet the original vision promptly or another for more extensive revisions that may impact the project timeline slightly. Let's initiate this collaboration with a test Guardian to ensure alignment before diving into the full roster.

Hi, "Strong silhouettes and clear rarity reads" are the two design requirements that make gacha characters work at game scale. Commons need to read cleanly at thumbnail size, and the Mythic needs to feel unmistakably tier-one from across the map without relying on UI indicators to communicate its status. I'm a Senior Engineer at Vercel with Blender stylized character modeling, rigging, and Roblox Studio import pipeline experience across game-ready character builds. I've delivered rigged stylized characters with idle, attack, and spawn animations plus themed VFX for real-time game engines. For the test piece I'd deliver a complete Guardian model, rig, four animations, and matching VFX built from your locked concept art, imported cleanly into Roblox Studio and ready for placement as a tower. If the quality and workflow fit, the remaining 12 Guardians follow the same production pipeline with consistent delivery across all rarity tiers, plus the Mythic ultimate animation and VFX set. Share the concept art and I'll confirm the test piece scope before starting. Best regards

Hi Lehman, Based on the provided scope, I estimate the complete production of all 13 Guardians—including game-ready stylized 3D models, rigging, Roblox Studio integration, animations, VFX, optimization, testing, and reasonable revisions—to require approximately 500–600 hours of work. At my rate of $18/hour, the estimated project budget is: Estimated Total: $9,000–$11,000 USD Timeline: Approximately 12–16 weeks, depending on feedback cycles and asset approvals. I recommend starting with a single test Guardian to validate the visual quality, animation style, VFX, and overall workflow before proceeding with the remaining roster. Once the test asset is approved, we can finalize milestones and production scheduling for the full project. Best,
