Project Outcome

Challenge

Doji on the Hill is a modern animated TV show concept with themes around financial literacy, Web3 and the HBCU college experience. They commissioned us to use AI to create consistent characters and settings based on real people with specific facial and clothing details, all rendered in an overall style similar to the Boondocks series. Fulfilling all these requirements was a feat that could not be accomplished with mainstream AI image generation tools, eg. MidJourney and Dall-E.

Amazing Results

We utilized bleeding-edge open source and experimental techniques to train and develop bespoke AI models that integrated multiple key elements into the final characters such as consistent illustration style across multiple specific actors, apparel and even environments.

The renders were of such high quality that they were virtually indistinguishable from final keyframe art previously only achievable through labor-intensive and costly manual illustrations.
