Hire the Best Character Animators

Official Rive expert ⭐️ Looking for someone who knows their way around motion magic? I'm your person! I create unique vector characters (Sketch), Rive character animations, lip-sync, splash screens, logos, buttons, and icons - basically, all the eye candy your project needs. (Psst... wanna know a secret? Almost any UI element can be animated - and yes, I can do that too). I'm also diving into the latest Rive Data Binding features: super cool stuff. Oh, and if you need a full UI design for your mobile app or game, I'm all in (using Sketch, of course). Let’s make something awesome together! So, I am available to assist you by providing: ・Unique vector characters created from scratch ・2D animations for games, applications, and websites (Rive app) ・Interactive fully controlled mascot animation ・Talking characters with full lip-sync ・Interactive Icons and Buttons animation ・Customisable character's animation ・Logo creation, redesign, and animation ・Splash screen animation ・Onboarding animation ・Advertisement animation ・Short animated movies for YouTube ・UI/UX design for games and apps ・Redesign of existing UI, awarding it a modern look ・Control of UI design implementation and communication with developers Usually, I start my work with a paper sketch, and once approved, I create a vector picture of the character within the Sketch app. After that (if necessary), I create for my characters a set of facial expressions and body positions that helps a lot to animate them. The deliveries at this step will include original vector images (usually SVG) and, if necessary, any raster formats such as png or jpeg. Next, I import a vector image to the Rive app to animate it. I create animations of any complexity in Rive: from simple idle animations of icons and loaders to complex ones, including walking cycles and whole scene animation. In my work, I use the full range of features provided by Rive: bones, constraints, state machine, data binding. Also, I can make the animations fully interactive by using Rive listeners. The Rive app is something like SVG animation but more advanced and friendlier. It's easy to integrate Rive animations into Flutter mobile applications, iOS, Android, React Native, Web, React, Vue, and Angular. The Rive app native format is .riv, an animated vector image file, which can be integrated into the app or game using Rive's free runtimes. I can also export to animated gifs, .webM, .mov, .mp4, or other desired formats, so my animations can be used everywhere: websites, videos, games, and apps. It is also possible to animate your existing vector artwork if you have it. In case you have a raster image, I also offer a service of manual vectorisation and animation. I show some of my works in Upwork Portfolio, and here are just a few examples of mobile games I've created UI design, app icons, and promotional materials for: Solitaire Classic Klondike from IGC Mobile - 10,000,000+ (Google Play store statistics) FreeCell Solitaire from IGC Mobile - 1,000,000+ installs Hearts Deluxe from IGC Mobile - 100,000+ installs Spider Solitaire from IGC Mobile - 10,000+ installs I'm responsible for my work and try to achieve the best result. I follow modern design trends and also study the art of famous artists and animators from Disney and DreamWorks studios, draw sketches, and create watercolour and oil paintings.
