AI Visual Artist / 2D Animator for Long-Term Children’s Animation Series
Worldwide
We are looking for a talented AI Visual Artist / 2D Animator to help create high-quality 2D animated content for children. This is not a role for someone who only uses general tools like ChatGPT. We are looking for an artist/animator who has hands-on experience with visual AI tools, animation-specific workflows, character animation tools, image-to-video tools, motion tools, compositing, and editing pipelines. We already have an existing original animation series / IP, including established characters, backgrounds, and visual assets. The selected artist will be expected to use these existing character and background assets to create new animated episodes or scenes based on provided scripts. The goal is to produce animations that feel polished, intentional, and visually consistent, not generic AI-generated content. We want the final output to look closer to the quality of the attached reference video. Responsibilities - Create 2D animated scenes using our existing character and background assets - Work from provided scripts and translate them into clear visual storytelling - Animate characters in a way that preserves their design, personality, and consistency - Maintain visual continuity across scenes and episodes - Apply strong cinematography, framing, camera movement, and scene composition - Use AI visual/animation tools effectively while keeping the output artistically controlled - Avoid generic, random, or obviously AI-looking results - Deliver polished animations suitable for children’s content - Collaborate with us on revisions and improve scenes based on feedback Requirements - Strong experience with AI-based visual and animation tools - Good understanding of 2D animation principles - Ability to work with existing character and background asset libraries - Strong sense of continuity, composition, timing, and storytelling - Experience creating animated content for children is a plus - Ability to match an existing visual style and maintain consistency - Comfortable working on a long-term production pipeline - Good communication and reliability - Portfolio or examples of previous animation work required Important Notes This is intended to become a long-term collaboration. If we find the right artist, we would like to produce many projects together using our existing IP and visual world. Please review the attached reference video before applying. We are looking for someone who can achieve a similar level of quality, polish, and visual consistency.
