MOTION DESIGN / ILLUSTRATION
In 2018, I was featured on Adobe Live for three days, showcasing Character Animator, a powerful software that brings 2D characters to life through real-time motion capture. My sessions highlighted its creative potential and ease of use. In 2022 Adobe reached out again, inviting me to create a series of six custom Character Animator puppets to be showcased with their new Puppet Maker feature.
Puppet Maker:
The Puppet Maker feature in Adobe Character Animator allows users to quickly create customized 2D animated puppets by selecting a character style and choosing features like skin color, clothing, and accessories with seemingly endless variations.
Background Art:
I created 30 unique backgrounds (five per character) for the six puppet maker characters. Each character's settings—futuristic cities, pirate ships, Wild West towns, mythical forests, and lively seaports—were tailored to their personality and story.
Software Used:
