I'll cut right to the chase here, even though I know it would be better for me if I learned how to use Iclone and be able to figure this out on my own. However, I'm on a tight time crunch in an attempt at making videos, I run a YouTube Channel right here. I'm trying to make a 3D model out of this image,

But I can't model characters that well, and I've been digging through the internet to find a program that can model the character and make it rigged with a toon shader. I was originally gonna use Blender, but I can't model for my life, so once I got to the face part, I gave up. I figured Iclone can pull it off. but I was lingering between rendering poses as images for commentary, or rendering live lip and face sync, which I think would be far cooler.

I already have a stage that I want modeled, (it's a laboratory) and I don't mind importing it into Iclone even it it is just as an OBJ, but I would like it to program it with separate objects since the laboratory has many different models.

So with that boring explanation out of the way, who here can give me a step by step process on how I can pull this off successfully, and if I can't, what program do you know where I can? Please inform me, and thank you!

As your character is a traditional 2D cartoon type character, it would seem you would better off using CrazyTalk Animator 3 or even CrazyTalk 8 (if you only want to animate the head). The learning curve to creating the character will be a lot shorter. Unfortunately with iClone there is no easy way to achieve what you want without putting in the hours learning the software.
 
Please take a look at the CrazyTalk Animator 3 product page or the CrazyTalk 8 product page to see if these products will suit you better.
