Stylized Character Design for Games

Stylized Character Design for Games

The course replicates an industry setting by guiding students through character projects from start to finish, with a heavy emphasis on professional workflow, formatting, and visual clarity.
There are a total of 2 full-sized projects to be completed during the class duration, each of which teaches students how to think like a concept designer, take ownership over their work, and prove to future employers that they can fit seamlessly into a production pipeline.
Students will learn to analyze references like professionals, mimic studio-level standards, and use clever shortcuts, such as slicing a 3/4 render in half for orthographic guides or warping photos for stylized photobashing, to produce high-quality results efficiently.
