There is a FREE course in the classroom, "Your Character Roadmap". This will get you started by introducing the Academy and concepts of AI Character Design, along with modules to help setup your workspace, discover the kinds of characters you want to create, and more. Once you've completed the first module (these are all short modules, promise!), come back here and drop a comment directly below this post with a quick 2-sentence introduction: 1. Who are you and what kind of characters are you most excited to create? (Sci-fi, fantasy, modern, etc.) 2. What is the #1 thing you want to get out of this academy? Once you've posted your comment, read through a couple of introductions from your classmates, give them a like or a welcoming reply, and then head back to the classroom to continue. See you in class!

Characters, human or otherwise, are the heart of any story. They serve as the author's vehicle for storytelling-expressing emotions, furthering the action, making the story world believable. They are the reason we have emotional investment in our favorite franchises, and a good character does so much more than give those franchises their "brand identity" - they captivate and enthrall us, and they have our support in their quest. A good character should also have an interesting backstory, clear goals and motivations, and of course some type of conflict. Without conflict, there is no story, no character growth. In the free beginner course, "Character Design Basics", you'll learn to create more than just visuals - we cover character profiles, backstory, motivations; their wants and needs; what world they live in, and all the other details that make up a well-rounded character. This course is 100% FREE to all members, no upselling, no level requirements - it's already unlocked for you! Start Your Journey HERE
