Rigged 3D Cartoon Dog

I already have a single reference photo of a cartoon-style dog and I need that exact character brought to life as a fully rigged 3D model. The in-game version must look virtually identical to the picture, so please be confident you can stay on-model while translating the design into three dimensions.

Functionality is key: the rig has to allow me to open and close the mouth, blink the eyes, swing the tail, and pose the front and back legs naturally. I will be importing the result into my own game engine, so please deliver a clean, game-ready FBX file with textures included and naming conventions that make sense at first glance. If you prefer Maya, Blender, 3ds Max or similar that’s fine—just be sure the exported FBX comes through intact with all weights and controllers preserved.

Keep the geometry efficient (no need for ultra-high poly counts) yet smooth enough for close-ups, and organise the UVs so I can easily swap or tweak textures later. Once we confirm the proportions and style match my reference, we can wrap up; no extra animation clips are required beyond the rig itself.

If everything sounds clear, let me know your timeline and we can get started right away.
