What the Concept Art Doesn't Tell You: Adding depth and believability to your characters
Making your work look dynamic but believable is always tricky problem to solve when creating characters for games. They need to be cohesive within their own world, but also relatable to the player so that they can build a meaningful connection with them. In this talk, we will be discussing various tips, practices and sources for taking your model beyond their concept art by developing our fundamental knowledge of garment creation, pattern, visual depth and power, branding and more.
Takeaway:
- A further understanding of the deeper fundamentals when creating/designing characters for games
- Practical theory on how to use colour to add depth to the visuals of a character
- How to apply them effectively for a cohesive powerful look
