Think all my characters are super cute, endlessly polite, and always trying to keep users happy? Think again. Meet Bacon the Pig - a character that pushed me way out of my comfort zone and into something far more bold, honest, and… real. Bacon doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He evaluates user actions and delivers his verdict exactly as it is: no softening, no filters, no pretending. And those comments? Not always flattering. But here’s the twist: he’s not mean. Not even close. Sometimes people don’t need kindness, they need honesty. The kind that doesn’t dress itself up. The kind that actually helps you face reality. And that’s exactly what Bacon delivers. Bacon the Pig knows how to celebrate: for real. When things go right, he bursts with joy and literally dances with happiness. But if something’s off? Oh, he won’t hide it. Not even a little. He’s honest, impulsive, and completely unfiltered: and that’s exactly what makes him so alive. And let’s be honest… his absolute favorite thing in the world? Judging. Bringing Bacon to life was a full creative deep dive. Before even touching Sketch app, I went through tons of hand-drawn sketches, searching for just the right look to capture his bold, multi-dimensional personality. Once I nailed it, I used those sketches (facial expressions, poses, attitude) as the foundation for animation in Rive, turning static ideas into expressive, dynamic motion. Bacon lives inside a budgeting app, so I built an entire world around him: a sleek briefcase stuffed with cash, a savings jar, a card payment terminal, a calculator… and of course, a lot of money. This is more than a character: it’s energy, emotion, and attitude brought to life.

So great! love it

PetVerse - Turn your pet into a cinematic character.

This workflow takes a simple image and builds:

– a personality – a role – a full visual identity – and cinematic scenes around it

The goal wasn’t just to generate visuals, but to give each pet a clear identity and story. It starts by interpreting traits like behavior, energy, and instincts, then uses that to shape the character. That’s what keeps everything consistent instead of random.

Workflow:

- Input → pet photo + traits - Personality → character identity - Visual → variations - Output → cinematic scenes + final hero

This works well for content, storytelling, or turning personal photos into something more immersive.

What would your pet look like as a cinematic character? 👉 Try it now with your loved one

This is well put together. The consistency across components stands out
