Anime Illustrator & Visual Data Annotator (Anatomy/Hand Topology Specialist)

About the role

We're looking for a detail-obsessed Anime Illustrator with a strong grasp of human anatomy to help build and refine high-quality visual datasets used in image and video analysis systems. This is a unique blend of artistic skill and technical annotation work — perfect for illustrators who love precision, structure, and visual problem-solving as much as they love drawing expressive characters.

You'll work on tasks involving character anatomy, hand topology (mediapipe-style), and image/video quality review, contributing to datasets that require both creative judgment and rigorous accuracy. If you have an artist's eye and an analyst's discipline, this role is built for you.

What you'll do

• Illustrate and/or annotate anime-style characters with strong attention to anatomical correctness, especially hands, joints, and pose structures
• Apply mediapipe-style hand topology standards to annotation and illustration tasks
• Review images and video frames for anatomical accuracy, consistency, and visual quality
• Perform detailed quality assurance passes, flagging errors or inconsistencies against provided protocols
• Follow structured guidelines and style protocols precisely, while applying visual reasoning to resolve ambiguous cases
• Collaborate asynchronously with a distributed team, providing feedback on annotation guidelines and edge cases
• Maintain consistent output quality across large volumes of images/videos

Requirements

• Strong portfolio demonstrating anime/illustration skill with emphasis on anatomical accuracy
• Solid understanding of human anatomy, particularly hand structure and joint mechanics
• Familiarity with annotation workflows and/or landmark-based topology systems (e.g., mediapipe-style hand keypoints)
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to spot subtle visual errors
• Strong visual reasoning skills — able to analyze images/video and make accurate judgment calls
• Ability to follow detailed protocols and style guidelines consistently
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, async environment
• Reliable internet connection and ability to meet quality/turnaround expectations

Compensation

Hourly rate: $15–$80/hour, based on experience, portfolio strength, and demonstrated accuracy on trial tasks. Flexible remote engagement, open globally.
