Ask HN: Best site(s) to look for freelance illustrators/animation artists?
Hey all, I am trying to figure out if there is a better way to hire freelance illustrators/animation designers than our current workflow. This involves posting on upwork etc, scouring behance/dribbble. I am aware of designpickle and its like, but not of similar sites that focus on illustration/animation. Are there any? Thanks!
- 0xfaded 5y agoI used behance.net to find my designer 5 years ago
- ChaitanyaSai 5y agoThanks. I use behance as well, and it is quite good. However finding someone who is good and also available takes a lot of back and forth. Hoping there's some new solution that makes it more efficient
- alentodorov 5y agoI'm also in the process of hiring a Senior Brand Designer. I use https://dribbble.com https://dribbble.com and recently launched Polywork.
- pbobak 5y agoI used https://www.twine.net/ https://www.twine.net/ quite few times when needing some assets for my app. There’s a lot of talented people on there.
- ChaitanyaSai 5y agoTwine looks interesting; trying it out, thanks!
- me_bx 5y agohttps://www.artstation.com/ https://www.artstation.com/ is also a location where many digital artists post their portfolio, and get freelance work...
- Sauvignon 5y agoNot exactly in reply to what you asked, but for you and anybody else who might be interested, I'm an animator and motion designer in the UK, currently looking for either more work, or a permanent junior position. My portfolio is here [1], and my email is in my profile. All the best! [1] https://xinn.in https://xinn.in

- brudgers 5y agoJust like any other business relationship, why not talk with local professionals or talk to the people you used before? Like any other profession, talented professional artists are non-fungible. Good luck.
- ChaitanyaSai 5y agoThanks. On projects where we know we can work with people we have, we do. But sometimes the requirements in terms of skills and aesthetics are different. Also, discovering local professionals seems to be just as hard.
