Character Creation
I've been creating characters for decades, only a few of which you see in my Gallery.
By early 2024, I decided to bring my characters to life. My journey into animation began with Maya, transitioned through Midjourney, and finally led me to Adobe Character Creator.
Adobe Character Animator is unique for its ability to animate characters through motion-capture technology. Behind these cartoons are humans whose real-time facial expressions, body movements, and voices bring the "puppet" to life.
Beyond motion capture, I use keyboard triggers to control eye movements, expressions, and lip-syncing to recorded audio, giving each character a distinct personality. You can view my growing character showcase on YouTube, including my playlist, "60-Second Fixes Daily Life."
And now, here are a few of my newest characters making their animated debut.
