animation?

I see a lot of characters in this one I could develop over time.  I have been thinking of animation. I am assigning traits to some of the characters in my mind and trying to understand how they interact....

I would like to explore this further, but for now I am considering creating 3D models of characters I have drawn.

I realize that I would be best served by finding people versed in these technologies, but do not have the funds right now, so I will keep it on the back burner.
