(JOB) Rigging a Mascot Character

Hello mGear Community,

I just completed modeling work for an updated mascot character and am looking for a qualified rigger to bring it to life! The character is part of a promotional campaign I’m developing for a local Northern California company. Customers have voiced their opinions to revive their old logo and mascot and I strive to do just that. I want to give him more personality than ever before in the hopes that it will bring business back to the once-popular brand. The bigger goal in the long run is to help create a media franchise akin to Sonic the Hedgehog or Mickey Mouse (the late artist who designed the mascot almost 27 years ago wanted him to rival Mickey), with a longform original streaming series starring the iconic cartoon character being the first step.

Rig Features:

  • Full-body rig with production quality
  • IK/FK switches
  • Squash-stretch attributes
  • Facial rig containing blend shapes
  • FK dynamics switch for automated control of character’s antennae
  • Several facial expressions, including, but not limited to:
    • Blink/Wink
    • Smile
    • Frown

Rigger Qualifications:

  • Must be from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand
  • Must have 5 years or more of experience creating rigs for major studios
  • Must have bachelor’s degree or higher
  • Must speak English only
  • Must have worked for at least one major studio
  • Must provide resume, selected studio work, or other evidence of experience to verifiy eligibility

Please let me know if interested. My email is brycesnail@gmail.com.

Thanks,
Bryce Powell
