Summary: | MakeSweet has part time work for a Blender artist. $20 to $100 dollars (USD) per design, about one design per month. |
MakeSweet is a little “mom and pop” store for customizing graphics and animations run by Paul Fitzpatrick and Noémi Giszpenc (hi!). It grew out of a Valentine's day project many years ago, and makes money from advertising and subscriptions. You can read about how the site works in BlenderArt 21. In summary, a specially tweaked version of Blender produces renders in such a way that selected surfaces can be quickly customized later.
Far too many designs on MakeSweet are done by Paul himself, who is a programmer with basically zero artistic skills. We're looking for an artist to take on the role of producing visually appealing scenes and animations with Blender, which Paul will transform into MakeSweet widgets.
We're looking for someone to do about one design a month for us, for $20 to $100 dollars (USD) per design. Here's how we pay:
a usable .blend with customizable surface(s) | $20 |
framing that shows off those surfaces well | +$20 |
an idea that you came up with yourself | +$20 |
an animation that works well as a .gif | +$20 |
a design that Paul doesn't need to fiddle with | +$20 |
This schedule is designed to reward you for saving us time in any form, whether by coming up with a cool design idea yourself, or by thinking through how that design will feel to users of the website. As a concrete first step, we'd like you to redo this heart-locket animation, making it more photo-realistic. Send email to paul@makesweet.com with a link to a portfolio if you're interested. Please do NOT work on the animation without speaking to us first!
Here's a preview of the kinds of details you'd need to think about when doing this work. We can talk you through them, but if just reading this bores you to tears then that's a good sign that this isn't the job for you :-)
Problems?
