About the Role

We are seeking a 2D animator to create a small pack of short, looping animations of cartoon eyes for a tiny screen on a figurine. The style should be similar to "Dasai Mochi": simple, expressive eye-only animations (no mouth).

What We Need

We need the following animations:

  • 4–6 seamless looping eye animations (each ~1–2 seconds):
    • idle + blink
    • look left/right
    • angry/squint
    • surprised
    • happy/smug
    • (You can propose 1–2 more if you have a good idea)
  • 1 optional “hero” animation (max 5 seconds):
    • A butterfly moves across the screen, and the eyes track it with expressive reactions (your stylization encouraged).

Specs/Deliverables

  • Resolution: 240x240
  • FPS: 24
  • Background: solid black
  • Deliverables: PNG frame sequence (or sprite sheet) + a GIF/MP4 preview

We will provide: eye design/reference + any constraints you need.

Budget/Pay

  • Total budget: 320 CAD fixed for the pack (or hourly equivalent up to that budget; $25–$40 CAD/hr is fine).
  • Paid micro-test: 30–40 CAD for a 1-second idle/blink loop at the final specs. If it matches, we proceed with the full set.
