Blender 3D Character Artist

We need a 3D character artist who works in Blender and specializes in cute, stylized characters with a designer-toy, blind-box, or mascot look. The role is for a generalist who can take a finished character design from reference images and rebuild it faithfully as a 3D model. This includes sculpting the body and knit hat, setting up materials such as pearlescent plastic, wool knit, and translucent jelly, matching the face precisely, lighting the scene, and rendering clean stills. Simple posing and short animation loops are a plus. A strong portfolio showing stylized characters, especially those with knitted details or pearly toy-like surfaces, is important.
