I have a tight 20-second shot that is already fully planned out: animatic timed to audio, character sheet with on-model line work, and a locked background. All I need now is a skilled clean-up artist who can take my rough keys and in-betweens and turn them into crisp, confident lines that match the exact look of the character sheet. Think classic, lively cartoon—not anime, not experimental—just clean lines that feel ready for paint. Please work at full HD 1920 × 1080 (16:9). No colour passes are required; I will handle flats and shading once your line art is approved. I simply need the cleaned-up frames delivered as a numbered PNG sequence (or a layered PSD/TVPaint/Toon Boom file if that is your set-up). When you reply, let me know: • how long you would need from receipt of the roughs (there are roughly 240 frames); • your price for the full clean-up pass, including a single round of minor tweaks for consistency with the model sheet. If everything lines up, I’ll share the animatic, timing sheets, and a sample rough so you can confirm the workload before we lock the milestone.

Hi, I went through your details and this is a straight clean-up pass workflow, exactly the kind of frame-by-frame polish work I handle with precision and consistency control. I can take your rough keys and in-betweens and convert them into clean, confident linework that matches your character sheet style, keeping proportions, spacing, and motion consistency intact across all 240 frames. I’ll work in a clean HD 1920×1080 pipeline and deliver organized numbered PNG sequences or a layered file setup depending on your preferred workflow, ensuring everything is production-ready for your paint and shading stage. I’ve handled similar traditional-style clean-up animation work before, I can show relevant examples once we connect and review a sample of your roughs and timing. One quick question: is your animation more strict pose-to-pose consistency or do you allow slight line flexibility for more organic motion feel? Best Regards, Muskan

The fact that you already locked the animatic, timing, and backgrounds is actually great because the biggest risk in cleanup work is usually revisions caused by timing changes later in production. ⭐️⭐️ Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/samang1?frm=samang1&sb=t For projects like this, consistency matters more than flashy animation — especially over ~240 frames. Slight line-weight drift or off-model facial proportions become very noticeable once the sequence plays at full speed. I’d probably approach this in passes: • first pass for clean line consistency • second pass for volume/model corrections • final polish pass for frame stability and flicker reduction Since the color/shading phase comes later, I’d also keep the linework extra clean around overlaps and silhouette areas so paint becomes easier afterward. Send me 5–10 rough sample frames plus the model sheet and I can quickly confirm the workload and turnaround before locking the milestone.

Working12 years in the design space, our team has found that the biggest challenge isn't just making a design look "modern," but making it intuitive enough that users don't have to think twice. We start by understanding what the design needs to communicate, who it’s for, and how it should make people feel. From there, we create visuals that are clean, purposeful, and aligned with the brand, not just visually appealing, but effective in communication too. Every element is placed intentionally, so the final design feels balanced, engaging, and meaningful. We have the bandwidth to start immediately. When would be a good time for a brief technical discovery call? Looking forward to hear from you and to bring your imaginations to life.

Hi there. I’ve recently completed a similar project involving cleaning up rough animation frames to match a specific character model sheet, and I can deliver your project efficiently to the same standard. I specialize in clean-up artistry for classic cartoon styles, working with high-resolution files and delivering precise line art suitable for paint-ready sequences. I understand you require full HD 1920 × 1080 resolution and output as a numbered PNG sequence or layered files for easy integration. Could you please confirm if the rough keys and in-betweens are already timed precisely, or will any timing adjustments be needed before clean-up? Regards, Riyaaz
