      wow, that is too good for my skills, also expensive I think that 22 minutes of that animations will cost you 300.000 USD according to industry standards. Take me into account to ink and to make in-between drawings of your main animators. See you great contest send me an invite for your next one I will improve the character design and clothes (but you did not give us much information about the culture of the characters)

    A tip for you is to put your character next to ours and ask your self. Does the drawing style look the same or does it stand out. For example:
    If I would put a 3D next to a 2D, would they fit.... the answer is no. It is 2 complete different styles.
    If I would put Tom and Jerry next to Korra would they fit. The answer is no... It is 2 complete different styles.

      So can I use the same design for the character's i've uploaded, but change the style to fit your character?

      • 5 years ago
    2. WORLDOFSVEA

      • 5 years ago

      Yes you can use the same design. But you should ask yourself if the sexy design is something that fits our world of Svea. The answer is probably no.

      The rating, on the other hand, is based only on the style so if you want to keep your design it's ok and it will not affect the score.

      Just remember that it is all about the style. Getting good character sheets with realistic design, depth and Anime-Disney style.

      The goal of the competition is to replicate the drawing style from our character sheets:

      An example of similar style can be found here:
      https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pGOzrk36iVqbI-Acni1qbL0_Q6M-9b21?usp=sharing

      Some call the drawing style "Anime-Disney" or "American Anime" or "Realistic Anime". You can also see how detailed they are and how they enhance the depth with light and shadows.

      If you should concentrate on the style of the 6 best reference pictures than it is these 6:

    Hi!

    I'm mainly an Anime-style character artist by trade, but I can adapt to the style you have specified, without a hitch, so , and I am very interested to take part in your project! Nevertheless, I have some questions, just a few!

    - Is there free rein with the actual design of the character that we are going to submit? (i.e. we can use any outfit design, gender, race/species).
    - Are you going to award more than (1) illustrator for this particular contest?

      Hi!

      - YES. The only thing that matters is to be as close to the style as possible.
      Pay attention to the style:

      - YES. Those that make the same style will be awarded, even if they are more than 1. We will award max 10 freelancers.

    Hello! I'm very much interested in this project. I want to deliver a character that I've in my mind. I read all of your description and the comments, most of my doubts got clarified but still I've a doubt: you said that the proportions of the body to be realistic, you mean that I cannot design something like bulging hands to the character? Kindly clarify my doubt and I now started working on the project, I'll deliver it in 36 hrs, please be patient until I submit my work. I'm a newbie here but experienced in doing this stuff, thank you.

      What we mean with realistic is that the design needs to feel realistic. For example:
      - Huge breasts do not feel realistic.
      - A square head do not feel realistic.
      - A sword that is 10 times bigger than the character do not feel realistic.

      I hope that answer your questions.

    Hello, please check my portfolio, I think that We have similar styles (not 100% similar but sort of) I would like to join your team of animators and designers, please wait for my entry. I have a question: the turnaround should be like your uploaded example of the blond teen or should be ready to be animated in software like toonboom or adobe animate? I mean: this is a character design contest or an animation contest?

    Hello there! I'm very interested in this project and I would like to participate! for this project do you have a character that we would need to work on so that you can see if we fit to the project?

    • 5 years ago
    1. WORLDOFSVEA
      Contest Holder
      • 5 years ago

      What we are mostly looking at is:

      1. That the style is the same as the attached pictures:
      https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-QiQgerPyHm0ThvesYdjlPNdjm5L2jr4?usp=sharing
      A style that is realistic

      2. And that the design feels realistic. For example the proportions of the body.

      You are free to do whatever character you want in a sci fi fantasy world. But we can also give you suggestions. In the link you will find descriptions if you want to make a character that is directly linked to our story:
