About Us
We are a small studio, passionate about storytelling and bringing characters to life through hand-drawn artistry. Our current focus is on developing a comic book series brought to life with fully drawn 2D animation for digital platforms, and we're looking for a creative and enthusiastic 2D Animator intern to join our team!
Responsibilities
• Illustrate sequential comic panels including character poses, gestures, facial expressions, and full action beats that drive the narrative forward.
• Collaborate with writers and fellow illustrators to translate scripts and story concepts into compelling, visually fluid comic pages.
• Produce clean line art, detailed key panels, and consistent character renderings that stay faithful to the series' established art style.
• Illustrate dramatic effects such as fire, water, smoke, magic, and weather using traditional and digital comic techniques.
• Participate in creative brainstorming sessions and provide input to strengthen our comic illustration and production pipeline.
• Assist in preparing finished artwork for print, digital publication, and marketing purposes.
Qualifications
• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Animation, Illustration, Fine Art, or a related field.
• Proficient in frame-by-frame 2D animation software (e.g., Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate, TVPaint, Procreate Dreams, or similar tools).
• Strong drawing fundamentals, including figure drawing, gesture, and the ability to draw characters consistently on model from multiple angles.
• Solid grasp of the principles of animation — timing, spacing, weight, squash and stretch, anticipation, and follow-through.
• Strong portfolio showcasing hand-drawn 2D animation, with an emphasis on character performance, acting, and movement.
• Passion for comics, storytelling, and traditional animated content.
Preferred Skills
• Familiarity with comic book art styles and formats.
• Experience with effects animation (FX), background painting, or clean-up and ink-and-paint.
• Interest in adapting illustrated stories into fully animated form.
• Ability to work independently while meeting deadlines in a collaborative environment.

• Mentorship from experienced professionals in the comic and animation industries.
• An opportunity to have your animation featured in a unique, published comic book series.
• A polished addition to your portfolio demonstrating strong character animation and storytelling.
• A percentage of all comic book sales (once internship window of 3 months finishes)
