I built characters at Respawn on Apex Legends and Titanfall 2. I built enemies at Turtle Rock on Back 4 Blood and creatures on Evolve. This class is the workflow I use every day at a AAA studio, distilled into nine modules you can move through at your own pace.
The class covers every stage of the pipeline. Concept, blockout, high poly, retopology, UVs, texturing, and rendering in Unreal. There is no gap between the class and how the work actually gets made.
Industry experts.
18 interviews with the character artists behind God of War, The Last of Us, Overwatch, Fortnite and Star Wars Jedi — recorded for the class, included with every tier.

FAQ
Honestly, answered.
If a question isn’t covered here, drop us a line. We’d rather talk than write more copy.
Which tier should I pick?
Essential is the class on your own schedule. Pick Pro if you want live group lessons and weekly feedback sessions with J. Pick Elite if you want private 1-on-1 time on top of that. Most students choose Pro.
What does the class cost?
Three tiers. Essential is $395 for the class recordings and lifetime access. Pro is $595 and adds weekly live group lessons plus weekly feedback sessions. Elite is $1,995 and adds private 1-on-1 meetings with J — limited to 10 seats per cohort.
Why not just watch a tutorial?
Tutorials show you what to do. They do not help you finish. This class adds structure, a timeline, and a community working through the same material. Pro and Elite tiers add live sessions where J answers questions about your specific project. The video alone is one thing. The structure to actually finish a portfolio piece is another.
Do I get 1-on-1 calls with J?
Only at the Elite tier. Pro tier includes live group sessions and weekly group feedback. Elite adds private 1-on-1 meetings with J. Elite is limited to 10 seats per cohort.
How quickly does J reply in Discord?
For Pro and Elite tiers, J is active in the cohort Discord throughout the week and most posts get a written response within a few days, often faster. There is no daily-response guarantee. Essential tier is more peer-driven — the wider community is there for questions and shared progress.
What if I fall behind during the 9 weeks?
Sessions are recorded and transcripts are posted alongside, so you can catch up. You’ll keep lifetime access to the recordings and the Character Class community page. So even if a week or two gets busy, the material is there when you come back to it.
Are you guaranteeing my character will be finished?
No. Anyone guaranteeing creative output is lying. Finishing is on you. What the class gives you is the structure, the feedback (in the live tiers), and the room to do the work. Most students who show up consistently and post their work do finish. Most students who don’t, don’t.
When does the next cohort start?
Live sessions for the Pro and Elite tiers run as cohorts. The next start date is posted on the enrollment page. Essential tier (class recordings) is available immediately on purchase — no cohort required.
Still deciding?

Nine modules.
One finished character.
If you have been carrying the same project for too long, the gap is usually structure and feedback. This is both, plus the pipeline that gets it finished.
