Will Do
Anything with an animal face.
Heavily stylised humans. (See examples)
Machines/planes/cars only for simple rigs I'm not that insane
Couple Icons
Looping animations or completely unique animation till the end of your time frame (It's assumed you want a looping one unless you tell me otherwise)
Won't Do
The head can not rotate more than 160 degrees in any complex rigged direction.
All prices are estimates.
Need a converter?

FAQ
Models can be reused as many times as you like. If you want multiple different animations with the same rig I can do that. Want one animation where your character's happy, one where they're sad and one where they're pissed off? I can do that. Each animation will be charged past the original base price for the initial animation. So you only get the free animation the very first time you commission the model.
Note: if you don't use up all of your free seconds you can make it two or more separate animations for free. (Eg. Two 5 second animations or one 3 second and one 7 second.)
It is unlikely you can upgrade a head rig here into a full body later, but sometimes there are exceptions if you let me know you might be interested at a later date I'll keep it in mind while rigging.
Colours are not locked into black and white, but must be only two colours with one third colour permitted for highlights like eyes, very small markings etc.
Please please know what motion you want BEFORE commissioning. Models are rigged with the motion already in mind, if you change your mind about the motion after the rigging stage I likely won't be able to do that without either redoing or performing major edits to the rig and I will have to charge you a rather large edit fee that will make me feel bad and you feel bad. Don't do it.
Yes I can animate motion to the beat of a music track, just let me know before I start.
I can export these animations as GIFs (the assumed standard), .PNG individual frames, .MP4, .AVI and can attempt a .SWF but it will not be antialiased in this format. Honestly take Flash format at your own risk I've not had much luck with it.
If your animation is past 5 seconds long it likely will not be small enough to work as an FA avatar not without making it look like hot garbage anyway. Please keep this in mind if it's what you're hoping to use it for. FA only accepts avatars under 55kb which is like trying to fit the entire Bee Movie into a GBA cartridge. Use these avatars on Discord or something if you actually want to keep the original frame rate and quality.
Sorry I can't make them transparent for you, but you're free to make those edits yourself. In fact you can edit them however you like afterwards, attach dildos onto your character's face I don't care, just make sure you always credit me as the original artist and link back here. Ty.
Payment taken in full via Paypal only after I've shown you the unrigged model. Due to taking money after already having drawn the model, refunds (if you really hate my art that much lol) will be for 50% or less of the total amount paid.
You will be messaged with updates and shown WIPs via Discord if you let me know your contact details on there. I like to work very closely with my clients to make sure you get exactly what you're paying for. If you're not happy with it, then I'm not happy with it.
--Form--
Please note me with the following form either while claiming a slot or immediately after, saying something along the lines of "Claiming simple rig slot" in the comments. This journal will be updated with your slot and status.

Please note me the form at the bottom of the journal with your details please.
I can add you to my waiting list if you'd like, though it can be quite some time till I get to you.
I'll keep an eye out until your commissions open again, then!
And no worries, finish the work you have to do first. :)
When would you like to receive the details/form exactly?
I was inspired by your short animation video where your OC speaks. Thought me the vollgende scene. It is black at the beginning. It is obtained by dragging the cig of my avatar. He has the cig between his fingers and holds it away from his mouth. He says a quote and flicks the cig away and it all goes black again.
The quote is in German and he was saying
Quote: Gott ist Tot. Dennoch glauben viele daran seine Macht geerbt zu haben.
An extended quote from Friedrich Nietzsche
Did you make some kind of animation with clay?
What kind of program do you use to animate?
I know this mixture of 2D and 3D and call it 2,5D I don't know the official name.
I know this kind of graphics. Especially through this artist who works with the animation program Moro.

- I do not do clay stop motion animation, if that is what you are asking. All of my animations are digital.
- I use an older copy of Moho, it is called Anime Studio 11 Pro.
- My animations for silhouette icons are purely 2D, it is an optical illusion when they appear 3D due to how I animate them, I do use some 2.5D animation in my coloured avatars for the background however. 2.5D simply means that the images are flat 2D, while they are arranged in a 3D space, you can take a look at a further breakdown here.
I did not mean clay stop motion animation. But good to know that it is indirectly clarified.
If it is open again with you. Because of me also the waiting list. Would I like to have a place.
