Job Title: 2D Game Animator / Rive & Spine Motion Designer

Location: Remote

Employment Type: Contract / Revenue sharing

We are building a stylized, fast-paced 2.5D web-based strategy game featuring expressive cartoon monster companions. We are looking for a creative 2D Game Animator to take an existing 2D character illustration/SVG and bring it to life with fluid, reactive character animations and energetic facial expressions.

Key Responsibilities:

- Rig and animate an existing 2D cartoon mascot illustration (vector/SVG/layered PSD).
- Create an expressive state machine / loop set for the character, including:
- Idle: Breathing, blinking, natural weight shift.
- Cheer / Victory: High-energy celebration when capturing an opponent piece.
- Hurt / Shock: Comedic recoil, gasp, or panic when losing a piece.
- Anticipation / Focus: Determined battle expression during critical turns.
- Deliver web-optimized, performant animation assets ready for implementation using Rive, Spine 2D, or Lottie (Bodymovin).
- Collaborate briefly with the developer to ensure state transitions (triggers and inputs) match in-game events smoothly.





Requirements & Skills:

- Demonstrated portfolio showing stylized character rigging, squash-and-stretch principles, and cartoon facial animations (mobile or indie game experience preferred).
- Hands-on proficiency in Rive, Esoteric Spine 2D, or After Effects with Lottie/Bodymovin.
- Ability to break down static character artwork into articulable layers (limbs, eyes, mouth, accessories).
- Strong grasp of comedic timing, micro-reactions, and game feel.
