Animator and Storyboarder for Sci-Fi/Fantasy Art Book Trailer

G’day! Reeve King here, a visual artist and writer from Bayswater, Australia, preparing to launch my debut novel/art book hybrid.

With over five years of art and storytelling experience, I want to collaborate with skilled story boarders and animators to create a 60-90 second animated book trailer. The story and characters are based on my original artworks inspired by the Japanese anime/manga art style with a western-twist (Akin to the likes of “League of Legends: Arcane” as a notable example). For the most part, it’s a very specific, mature, and sometimes gritty art-style, but does also counterbalance with light-hearted and tender moments. Themes explored in the book are also very mature, philosophical, existential, and really delve into the enigma and purpose of Humanity. Story boarders and animators experienced with a vision along these lines would be preferred.

I am looking for story boarders and animators who can bring my digital paintings and artwork to life using live2d animation or some equivalent. Experience in converting 2D digital paintings into animated sequences would be preferred for the storyboarding and trailer creation, but depending on budget, full-blown professional animation with possible 3D assets would also be welcome! :D

Creative artists with a passion and love for sci-fi/fantasy and anime/manga would be splendid! Story vision, Artworks, and character designs will be shared only after pitches are reviewed and accepted.

Looking forward to reviewing everyone’s proposals! Thank you in advance, and keep shining your Creative Spark! :D
