Join an indie studio developing a timing-based, skill-driven fighting game for PC using Unity. This contract role focuses on sculpting, texturing, and delivering a stylised, athletic female base mesh for our Vertical Slice milestone. The mesh will serve as a shared placeholder body across multiple classes, laying the foundation for future character production.

The project requires a high-to-low poly workflow, PBR texturing, and clean topology and UVs, all prepared for a custom Unity skeleton. Rigging will be handled separately, so the deliverable is a clean, deformation-ready, unrigged mesh. This is a tightly scoped, single-body contract, ideal for establishing a working relationship, with robust potential for follow-on work as the team scales for Alpha/Beta phases.

Please note, this is an expression of interest and contingent on grant funding. Only Australian residents are eligible, with preference for Queensland-based artists. A portfolio showcasing game-character work is required.
