Hi, my name is Donnie. I'm so excited you joined us here at AI Character Academy. Designing characters (and their clothing) is my passion, it's something I've done since I was a kid, using whatever materials I could afford, borrow, or scavenge. I'll be your guide on this exciting journey of creating your very own characters for your stories, games, and art. I've created hundreds of characters over the past few decades as a traditional, CG, and now AI artist, and my goal is to help you create yours. This is a brand-new Community for the Academy - I previously launched ACA on several other platforms in 2024 - one for courses, one for digital products, one for written tutorials, etc - but with so many sites, it was impossible to manage, let alone grow the Academy into something useful. So, I've moved everything here to Skool to offer character designers a better experience under one roof. It feels like we're just getting started again, and that's exciting. I hope you find the resources here helpful in your character or avatar creation journey. If there's something you'd like to see here, reach out - post in the Community, or DM me directly. Thank for joining - let's create!
