Hey guys and girls!
I've been thinking about this idea for a very long time but I haven't really pursued it until now. I'm trying to create a character builder for people who want to animate in anime studio but don't want to spend a lot of time making the artwork. I know, I know, anime studio already has a character creator but I don't think it's as good as it could be at the moment. I also know that a lot of you will say "You're ripping off family guy! That looks just like some Seth McFarlane sh#$t!" and to that I say, um yeah, it does BUT to be honest, I DID NOT trace or refer to any art from his shows. I just watch them a lot and enjoy this style of animation. All artwork that I've made for this has been from my head. Even so, I know some of you won't like this style but I'm planning to make completely different styles or characters as well if people think it's a good idea. I'm actually going to do it anyway so I can have a library of characters at my disposal when I make full length cartoons. I'd also like to make instructional videos to go along with these "packs" so that anyone can modify and add to them if they want! So anyway, just take a look at this sample video give me your thoughts. Is it something anyone is interested in? Should I sit and spin? Let me know! Oh and this picture is just a sample of the types of looks you can come up with this file.
