Paid Trial 3D Character / Creature Artist

We are looking for a skilled 3D Character / Creature Artist for a semi-realistic fantasy RPG.

We value strong visual work, real-time optimization, reliability, and good communication as our top priority.

Our style is polished semi-realistic fantasy with controlled stylization — believable proportions and materials, strong silhouettes, and good readability without unnecessary cinematic-level detail. Character complexity is roughly around skyrim-level fidelity with cleaner modern execution. Not cartoony, blocky, or traditionally Roblox-styled.

Paid Trial

Task: 1 Male Orc Base Character Budget: $200–300 fixed Timeline: 5–7 working days Checkpoint: Early modeling review around Day 2–3

We will provide broad visual references, but there is no exact Orc concept to copy. We want to see the artist’s ability to interpret references and create an original character.

Requirements Full body head/face simple basic clothing 10k–12k triangles preferred, 15k maximum Clean game-ready topology suitable for later rigging/animation Clean UVs and PBR textures 1K runtime texture target Efficient materials/mesh usage Optimized for real-time gameplay Editable source file FBX/GLB textures wireframe triangle count

No rigging, animation, weapons, complex armor, or complex hair required.

No AI-generated models/geometry (Meshy, Tripo, etc.). Automatic decimation is also not acceptable as a substitute for proper game-ready topology.

Payment: We do not pay 100% upfront. Partial protected deposits/milestones are fine. Any upfront payment must use buyer-protected methods such as PayPal Goods & Services.

If the trial goes well, there may be ongoing work on additional humanoid characters and fantasy creatures.

To apply: DM your portfolio with examples of finished real-time/game-ready characters or creatures. High-poly sculpts alone are not sufficient.
