Abstract
This project explores how to apply 2D Super Deformed style character expressions from traditional Japanese 2D animation to 3D animated characters. After analyzing Japanese 2D animations including Naruto, Sailor Moon, Fairy Tail and Dragon Ball Z, specific characteristics for each of the six emotions were determined. These characteristics were used to design 3D SD versions of those emotions and then they were applied to a normal 3D character in six separate animations. Keywords: Super-Deformed cartoon character, Exaggerated Animation, baby schema, Emotion, Facial expression
