ZBrush artist for SHIVA5 character

We are looking for a skilled ZBrush artist to help bring Shiva of the 5 Elements of Hip-Hop (SHIVA5) to life. The project mixes Hip-Hop culture with 3D character design, accessories, and props that will be featured in digital and physical outputs, including stickers, posters, desktop-scale 3D prints, and large-scale museum fabrication (up to 9 feet). You’ll design multiple male and female character variations, accessory sets such as sneakers, hats, hair, turntables, and other Hip-Hop elements, capturing the culture’s vibrant energy. The assets must be delivered for use in both 3D workflows (ZBrush, STL/OBJ) and 2D outputs (layered files for print and branding). Responsibilities include sculpting characters and props in ZBrush with production-ready topology, designing accessory variations, providing layered digital files suitable for both 3D printing and 2D rendering, and collaborating with the creative director for stylistic and cultural authenticity. The project requires strong character and prop sculpting experience in ZBrush, knowledge of human anatomy, and the ability to deliver files for both digital and large-scale physical uses. References and style moodboards will be provided to shortlisted candidates.
