Interesting idea. It's clear what the product does. What's the use case for it?
Neat. I think the page would be better if the sample art was better looking.
I mean, in today's ecosystem the idea of paying for this sort of app before being able to test it at all seems a bit unrealistic.
I initially thought this was a tool for someone like me, no drawing abilities, but wanting to add some characters in different poses to my webpage without hiring an illustrator.
Then I watched the demo video, and I see it is only for creating a character outline, and then an artist needs to still draw the character. This is just a guideline for them.
My question then becomes. If I'm an animator, aren't I already an expert at this? Do I need this tool in order to give me a guideline with which to draw my character?
With the current state of CV, I'd like to be able to see this sort of tool allow me to re-position a character I can import into the tool, or potentially even a photo.
I understand that is much more work than the author has envisioned with this app, but as it stands, I'm not completely convinced it is valuable enough to the target audience, and I think it could have more value to a larger audience.
Keen to hear if this is a tool that animators actually need.
