First, you should probably start with a sketch on paper.

Flesh it out with your art program of choice. Mine is Illustrator, sometimes Photoshop. But alternatively, there is also some open source options like Gimp and Inkscape which do a real decent job.

Depending on what you are going for you can use your 2d version as a sprite. Or spend some time 3d modeling if that hits your fancy.

Do a bit of research on importing some game objects into Unity. → http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/comp-AssetsGroup.html

Keep at it and good luck!

Unity isn’t a modeling tool; You wouldn’t use Unity to make your cartoon character. You would use some modeling software like Blender or 3DS Max if it’s 3D, or photoshop/Illustrator for a 2D sprite.

I would be interested in helping, they are right though you can use sketch-up and or blender. but I don’t know much either so If you know the ā€œropesā€ around unity that would be very helpful.

Thanks?

I’m sorry but its not sketch-up its Scratch. this engine is like a kiddy unity. I have started with this but I now would like to upgrade. what I mean by this is that I would like to use something more challenging. Unity.

But the reason I mentioned Scratch is because you can edit ā€œspritesā€ or even make your own. but its not about making your ā€œspriteā€ and then keeping them in the Scratch engine. You can import ā€œspritesā€ into unity. but unfortunately you can only make 2D ā€œspriteā€.

You can’t make characters in Unity. Unity is for making games. You can make characters in Blender, Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, Lightwave, Modo, etc. However Unity is for games only.

OH so you are suddenly an ā€œexpertā€! Amazing!

LOL no I have known this for a while…

LOL I have known to program for a while…

I’m sure you also know too! Oh wait…

Seems like I’ve opened quite a few threads lately with people asking for people to contact them through Skype… Is this the next phase of the appliance salesman’s plan to indoctrinate the unity3d community?

I’m not sure what you mean by this. Sprites are 2D by definition. If you want something 3D it’s not a ā€œspriteā€.

I think he’s being redundant and it was supposed to be ā€œā€¦ unfortunately you can only make 2D; aka ā€œspriteā€.ā€ That’s why he put quotes around sprite. Perhaps not.

Play nice.
