DEVELOPING A 2D CHARACTER FOR CARTOON ANIMATOR

Creating 2D charactersis an exciting and multifaceted process that combines elements of art, design and psychology. This process involves developing a visual appearance for the character that will convey their personality, role and emotions through the possibilities of 2D graphics.

Creating Custom Characters for Cartoon Animator 4 and Cartoon Animator 5 (Humanoid Creatures)

Sooner or later, an animator using Cartoon Animator faces the question: where to get content to create animation.
For this purpose, there are Realusion trading platforms(Content Store or Marketplace), where you can purchase ready-made characters equipped for animation. Ready-made solutions do not always satisfy the needs of all those who use animation for their projects. Sometimes you need a specific character that you will have to create yourself.

Creating a character fully equipped for animation is not an easy process. What to do? And if you can't create it yourself? The answer is simple! Contact me.

I will create a character for you based on your needs.

Stages of 2D character development

The Customer sends the Contractor a letter with references to the email address azbus@yandex.ru,indicating the main points.
For example:
Character: Caveman (Male)
Description: this should be a fat funny man, wearing a leopard cape...
The performer studies the information received and possibly asks clarifying questions.
A sketch of the character is created (sketch technique - pencil) and sent to the Customer.
After the sketch is approved by the Customer, the drawing of the character in the required format for Cartoon Animator begins.
Once the character is ready, the Customer is sent a Cartoon Animator project file and a video file (calibration) with the character animation by email.

Results of the work

The customer is provided with:

Cartoon Animator project file of a character with standard rig (flexible limbs, 30 hand sprites, 6 pairs of eye sprites, mouth lip sync - 15 sprites + 360° head rotation).
Intermediate source files in vector format (Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw) and raster format (PSD in layers, JPEG, PNG with transparent background).
Demonstration calibration animation file (from 30 sec.).

Basic conditions for the provision of services

After the Customer has paid an advance payment of 50%, a set of works is carried out to create a 2D character.
The results of the work are in the form of electronic files and are transferred to the Customer after payment of the remaining part of the agreed amount.

Note

The contractor does not undertake the work if you already have a finished character in layers and in different positions. This is due to the fact that to equip the character I will have to redo all the layers, this takes a lot of time.

The Contractor undertakes not to place the Customer’s file on various Internet sites, and also not to use it for animation.

If, for any reason, the Customer has not paid the full cost of the work, the Contractor has the right to freely dispose of the unpaid character, modify it and place it on Reallusion trading platforms! The advance payment is not refundable!

Reviews

I have worked with azbuss on the design, creation, and rigging of five custom characters (so far) and am absolutely thrilled with the results. He is easy to work with, listens and incorporates my ideas for the designs, and delivers high quality designs quickly. He always manages to capture the look and spirit of the characters I have described to him! If you are looking for a talented and skillful designer to create characters or other assets for animation, I strongly recommend working with azbuss. So far, the youtube videos I've made with his characters have been viewed over 26 million times, and azbuss's creations have played an important role in their success.

I’d like to take a moment to sincerely thank azbuss for his outstanding work. His professionalism and attention to detail are truly second to none. Even with a last-minute pivot, he went above and beyond expectations and still delivered on time.

Azbuss was an absolute pleasure to work with—collaborative, reliable, and incredibly talented.

I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of custom character builds. He’s now my go-to for all future design work.

I have no words to describe how i'm happy with your work and i really thank you for all the support and patience with this project!

I hope we can work together again in the near future and i wish all the best for you and your family!

You have a friend and a fan in Brazil now!

a BIG thank you!

Incredibly good-looking and versatile characters here!
Whether it's intentional or not, I think you're very talented with making characters that can fit many different ethnicities and backgrounds!

It's most intriguing how you manage to really capture the look and spirit of people and ethnicities and by doing so with the simplest, yet profound drawings.
