Summary

I'm looking for a skilled character artist to create a single, game-ready 3D character for an Unreal Engine 5 project. Art Style Semi-realistic anime Quality comparable to Final Fantasy VII Remake, Final Fantasy XVI, or Stellar Blade Strong facial anatomy with stylized anime influence (not photorealistic) Gothic / Victorian dark fantasy aesthetic Requirements Optimized topology suitable for a real-time game Efficient triangle count (quality first, but no unnecessary geometry) Clean UVs High-quality textures (PBR workflow) Unreal Engine-compatible Clean file organization for future iteration Preferred Deliverables Game-ready character Skeletal rig (preferred, but not required) Physics setup for hair, cloth, and other secondary motion (bonus) If you only model, please prepare the mesh and files so another artist can easily rig and implement physics later. Software No strict preference, but experience with Blender, Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, and Unreal Engine is a plus. Project Scope This is for one character to start. If we're a good fit, I'd love to continue working together on additional characters over time. When Applying Please include: -Your portfolio (especially anime or stylized realistic characters) -Examples of game-ready characters you've created - Your estimated price for a character of this quality, happy to negotiate more than 2k if you believe your work qualifies -Approximate turnaround time I'm looking for someone who values clean topology, efficient optimization, and high-quality art direction. Quality is my top priority while keeping the model practical for a real-time game. I'll include some mockups of the style im looking for The setting is a gothic victorian world inspired by bloodborne but in a turnbased jrpg format.
