Hi Misaki!
Thanks for getting in touch. And thanks for you kind words about Glimmerwick! We loved your portfolio, and think you could be a great fit for us! Please pardon our delayed response, we've just been giving time to let portfolios come in. Your work was among our favorites!
Answers to your questions:
- The artwork is already done. You would just need to break things up as needed to suit your rigging requirements. Most of the elements/limbs will already be in layers to make this a bit easier.
- Yes, we are open to paying per character/per animation
To better illustrate the kind of work we need, here is an example of an image ready for animation:

and here is her context:

We have a lot of (currently static) characters standing around in Glimmerwick like these that need to be rigged and animated for just that one pose:

So for example the girl sitting I just sent should be chatting: Maybe gesturing with that one raised arm, then move it back down to lean on for a little bit (that's just an idea, but we would leave to you whatever you feel looks the best). She only needs one looping animation, maybe 10-20 seconds, as she will only ever be in this one state (that's why she is drawn already in pose).
Does that sound like work you'd be interested in? And given that you'd like to bill per character, could you give us a quote on what you might charge for rigging and animating the above posed character, for one 10-20 second looping conversing animation?
Let me know if you any other questions about it! Also feel free to respond to me via email, my address is danny (at) eastshade.com
Thank you for your time!
Danny
