A Character Design Art Intern assists professional artists in creating original characters for games, animation, or other media. They help with sketching, refining designs, and maintaining consistency in character styling. Interns may also research references, collaborate with other creative teams, and adapt designs based on feedback. This role provides hands-on experience in the industry while allowing interns to develop their artistic skills and portfolio.
As a Character Design Art Intern, you will assist in brainstorming, sketching, and rendering character concepts under the guidance of senior artists and art directors. Your daily tasks may include creating character turnarounds, expression sheets, and helping to revise designs based on team feedback. You’ll also collaborate closely with other departments such as storyboarding, animation, and development to ensure character designs fit the overall style and narrative of the project. The experience provides valuable insight into the creative process of professional character design and often serves as a stepping stone to more advanced roles in the industry.
To thrive as a Character Design Art Intern, you need strong drawing and illustration skills, a solid understanding of anatomy, character construction, and a portfolio that showcases creative concept work. Experience with digital art tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or Procreate is often required, and familiarity with additional tools like Blender or Maya can be beneficial. Strong communication, openness to feedback, and the ability to work collaboratively are key soft skills for this position. These competencies are essential to efficiently conceptualize, iterate, and refine character designs that align with project goals and team visions.

About Childhood Cancer Society
Childhood Cancer Society (CCS) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting families battling pediatric cancer, providing financial assistance, emotional support, and unforgettable wish grant experiences.
At the heart of our mission is Adventure Ted, our superhero spokes-bear and the central character behind our brand. Adventure Ted represents courage, kindness, and resilience, and serves as the face of our storytelling, campaigns, and creative identity across all initiatives.
We are currently preparing for major initiatives including a high-level charity golf outing and a fundraising dinner event with the Mayor of Saddle River, NJ.
Role Overview
We are assembling a select group of creatives to join the Adventure Ted Creative Board, a performance-driven team responsible for shaping and executing the visual identity of CCS across campaigns, events, and media.
Members will work directly with the Founder and Chief Media Officer, contributing to real-world creative tied to high-visibility initiatives. This is not a traditional internship. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role centered on ownership, quality, and creative impact.

Work with manufacturing partners to help design items such as clothing, toys, and other products used in fundraising initiatives
Participate in structured execution sessions with fast turnaround timelines
Maintain high creative standards across all work
What Makes This Different
Direct collaboration with the Founder and executive leadership
Ownership of real-world creative tied to live events and campaigns
Portfolio-building work with real visibility and real-world application
A selective, performance-based creative environment
Growth & Advancement Opportunities
Top-performing interns may be invited to continue beyond the initial term as Associates within the organization.
Advancement is based on execution, consistency, and demonstrated creative ability.
This role is eligible for internship credit in Graphic Design, Media, Animation, Marketing, and related programs, depending on your school’s requirements.
