What this service covers

Stylization is an intentional design system, not simply reduced detail. I define proportions, silhouette, facial language, color palette, material approach, accessories, and target use before sculpting.

The workflow can include sculpting, retopology, UVs, hand-painted or PBR textures, blendshapes, a body rig, and selected engine exports. Mobile and real-time targets use an agreed polygon, material, texture, and bone budget.

References describe the visual direction but are not copied from protected characters. Originality, licensed inputs, package variants, formats, and animation scope are documented at the start.

What's included

  • Approved stylized character sculpt
  • Clean topology and UVs

Frequently asked questions

Can you create anime-inspired characters?

Yes, using approved references for general visual direction while creating an original character rather than copying protected designs.

Are stylized characters suitable for games?

Yes, when geometry, textures, materials, bones, and LODs are built for the agreed platform and engine.

Do you use hand-painted or PBR textures?

Both are available. The choice depends on the art direction, lighting model, engine, and desired production workflow.

Low Poly Modeling

Low poly modeling creates lightweight 3D assets around agreed silhouette, polygon, material, texture, file-size, and target-platform budgets.

High Poly Modeling

High poly modeling creates a detailed source sculpt for close-up rendering, cinematic work, texture baking, or scoped 3D print preparation.

3D NPC Design

3D NPC design creates finite modular side-character sets around an agreed game style, variation plan, rig, animation scope, engine, and performance budget.

3D Avatar Design

3D avatar design creates a custom personal or brand avatar for one selected platform, with agreed appearance, expressions, rigging, performance, and file format.

VRChat Avatar Design

VRChat avatar design creates and tests a custom avatar for an agreed VRChat SDK version, performance target, expression set, controls, and Unity handoff.

3D VTuber Avatar Design

3D VTuber avatar design creates a custom VRM model and rig for one selected tracking application, with defined expressions, controls, physics, and test notes.
