rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Creative

Create and edit digital illustrations in Krita while recording and explaining each stage of your process. The work covers digital painting, concept art, character design, visual assets, and 2D animation for AI training.

The work

You will complete real-world illustration and design tasks in Krita, including creating and editing digital paintings, concept art, character designs, 2D animations, and other visual assets. Tasks may require deliberate use of brushes, layers, masks, and color management, followed by a clear step-by-step account of your decisions and workflow.

What the screen assesses

micro1 is likely to verify professional Krita experience through specific project examples and follow-up questions about technique. Expect to explain how you structure files, select or configure brushes, use masks non-destructively, manage color, refine artwork, and turn a visual brief into detailed instructions or prompts. English proficiency at B2 level or higher is required. A portfolio, relevant master's degree or PhD, Human Data experience, and experience in character design, 2D animation, or game art are preferred rather than stated as mandatory.

Practical details

This is a remote contractor role, and you must have access to Krita and be able to record your screen while working. The listing does not specify typical weekly hours, a fixed schedule, or whether all work is asynchronous, so candidates should be ready to state their actual availability and confirm scheduling during onboarding. The observed compensation information is not a guarantee.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your Krita experience is grounded in a verifiable production example rather than general familiarity with digital art software.
A strong answer: Identify the brief, deliverable, your exact responsibilities, and the Krita features you used from setup through export. Include a concrete constraint or revision and explain how you handled it.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points when they describe the finished image but cannot distinguish their own work from a team's contribution or name the Krita-specific steps involved.
