Job Description
FINKRATKING are hiring a 2D ANIMATOR- Paid Animation Opportunity!
FINKRATKING are an animated virtual band making experimental electronic rock with a cast of animal characters. Absurdist comedy, web cartoon energy, crude humor welcome. They need a 2D animator to handle their comedy shorts on an ongoing, monthly basis.
What you’d be doing:
Taking finished animatics (storyboards timed to audio with voices already recorded) and turning them into completed animation – cleanup lineart, colored with some texture and grit, lipsync, line boil, backgrounds. You’re executing a visual plan, not designing from scratch, though they value animators who can interpret loose sketches and bring their own energy to the work.
The style:
- Angular, geometric character construction.
- Rough confident linework. Colors with some hand-drawn texture, not sterile flat fills.
- Limited animation – strong held poses with selective movement.
- Lipsync is the primary continuous animation. NOT anime, NOT smooth Flash tweening, NOT ultra-polished.

Details:
- Rate: $200/minute of finished animation
- Volume: 2-3 shorts per month (roughly 2-4 minutes total)
- Turnaround: 2-4 weeks per short
- Location: US, Europe, or Australia preferred (need fluent English and overlapping timezones)
Important: All work must be hand-drawn. No AI-generated or AI-assisted art.
How To Apply:
Send them a message or comment on the Twitter post your portfolio/reel link and a quick note about why this sounds interesting to you. If the style looks like a fit, they’ll send character references and ask for a quick sketch test before moving to a paid trial.
