I'm creating a game-ready character inspired by Akira Toriyama for the 2024 Reallusion Character Contest. Look at these renders showing off facial expressions and detailed skin features, including tattoos.

Facial expressions that hit hard! Added attack & reaction animations to make combat in Lobo: The Howl Within feel intense and immersive. Every strike, every wince—animated in Unreal Engine 5 + iClone. Let’s make every fight hurt 👊🔥

Finally bringing the player character to life! In this quick video, I’m showcasing the first implementation of the actual character model, complete with clothes and gear using the inventory and equipment system. Exciting to see things coming together!

Sneak peek at the new UI in Lobo: The Howl Within! Now featuring stylish location introductions when entering new areas + a work-in-progress minimap system to help you navigate the wilds. Built in Unreal Engine 💻

Low Poly Mangle

(mainly based on the FNaF 3 Minigame sprite)

Clothing clipping through the body is one of the most annoying issues when designing modular characters. In this video, I show the system I created to solve it by dynamically masking the body based on equipped items—no more visual glitches!

In this quick peek, I’m testing the first animation layer for Lobo’s dialogue system: body animations Next up: facial expressions and lipsync— I'm getting closer to fully immersive dialogue!

All implemented in Unreal Engine 5 🎮 Thanks for watching!

Combat isn't just about hitting hard—it's about how they react! Testing hit animations, pushback, camera shake, and sounds in a basic arena to focus on juicy feedback. If it works here, it'll shine with final assets!

Here’s a quick look at the second animation—facial expressions and lipsync, created using iClone  and Unreal Engine. 

Each character’s expression is tied to the tone of the conversation, building on the body animation layer shown earlier.
