Custom Animated Character Avatar & Podcast Streaming Setup

Project Title:
Create a Custom Animated Character Avatar & Stream Setup for Podcast (VTuber / OBS Integration)

Project Description:
I’m starting a podcast and want to appear as a custom animated character instead of showing my real face — similar to what some streamers and VTubers do.

I’m looking for someone who can design, animate, and set up a unique character (cartoon or stylized human/creature — the design is open for now) that reacts to my facial expressions and speech in real time. The goal is for the character to act as my on-screen persona during podcast recordings and live streams.

Deliverables:

Design a custom character avatar (2D or 3D depending on your expertise).

Rig it to track facial expressions, mouth movements, and blinking.

Integrate it with VTube Studio, Animaze, or OBS for real-time recording/streaming.

Provide all setup files and clear instructions so I can run it easily on my PC.

Optional: Create matching overlay graphics (podcast frame, logo banner, intro scene).

What I’m Looking For:

Experience creating and rigging VTuber-style avatars or animated characters.

Ability to handle facial tracking setup and integration with OBS or similar.

Creative input on the visual style or theme of the character.

Good communication and willingness to adjust expressions to fit my personality.
