Moving illustration
Animated character art · Character PVs · Idle loops
We turn one character illustration into animated character art that breathes, looks at you and talks. As a video, or playing live on a web page.

01 Works
Both videos show the same character, Ichika Amano. Nothing is redrawn frame by frame: everything that moves is the same single illustration.
01 Scene
Draw circles on the screen and her eyes and head follow your finger. Go too fast and she gets dizzy; poke her cheek and she puffs it up. A pat on the head at the end, and she smiles.

02 Scene
It starts as the still illustration; one click and she comes alive. She turns to follow the cursor, changes expression on the number keys, waves, makes a peace sign and a heart, then settles back into the original pose.

Mid-trip Stopover
This part isn't a video. Move your cursor and her eyes follow it; click her, change her expression or ask her to say something. It all moves live in your browser, and this is just how it would look on your own website.
Watch Mari wave and make a few gestures. Open this page on a computer to play with Mari or Ichika in real time.
The character may take a few seconds to load the first time.

02 About
A still character illustration is one frozen picture; animated character art brings that same picture to life. Standing in place, the character breathes, blinks, turns to look at you, talks and changes expression. You'll often see it on character screens in mobile games.
Here's what ours can do:
03 Uses
One piece of animated character art can travel to lots of places.
Playback failed. Try again.
After School · 10 seconds · Japanese voice
For character introductions, promotional videos and cutscenes in visual novels. Expressions and gestures can follow the dialogue.
Standby and opening screens for streams, or looping clips for social media. The loop version joins end to start, so it can play on and on.
For covers and original songs: the character in a single illustration breathes, blinks and looks into the camera along with the song.
On an official site or event page, she turns toward each visitor's cursor or finger and reacts when clicked.
04 Making
From one picture to her breathing on screen, it's a trip in four legs.
We start from a character illustration that's already finished. Ichika's, our sample, was AI-generated.
Hair, eyes, mouth and clothes are separated. Parts you normally can't see, like an open mouth, hands and other expressions, are drawn in.
We set up breathing, head turns, expressions and gestures, plus how the hair and ribbons swing.
Rendered to video, or played live on a web page, reacting to the cursor and clicks.
05 FAQ
AWe separate features such as the eyes, mouth, and hair into layers, then animate the gaze, expressions, and movement with our own tools. The result can play in a video or on a website.
AYes. An animated character video can be used as a stream intro or standby screen.
AIchika Amano, our sample character, is AI-generated, both her illustration and her voice. Every piece says so.
