In February of 2017, I did a lecture with Sally Cox on Behance and Adobe Portfolio for the Adobe Community Professionals Community. I enjoyed it so much that I offered to do an another lecture on Adobe Character Animator.

For this lecture, I decided that I would feature the character I created based on Overwatch’s Winston. However, I thought it would be nice to make the Adobe Tech Wednesday lecture even more special by creating a new character.

Since the idea behind the lectures is exploring and learning more about Adobe’s products and services I decided to create a space monkey. I created the character in Adobe Illustrator and then imported him directly into Adobe Character Animator where I prepared him for the animation, thus turning the illustration into a digital puppet.

For the next steps I decided to record various things separately: voice, movement, keyboard triggers, etc. I then using a webcam I was able to record my facial expressions that would give him more personality.
