Video Game Character Designer

When playing a video game, do you often think to yourself: It would be so much cooler if he had a backpack, different hair style, or a bigger sword? Do you have a nagging feeling that you could design much cooler characters than those in your favorite games?

Take on the challenge to create your ultimate character by completing the Video Game Character Designer project file.

As a character designer, you will learn about the importance of creating a backstory, exploring accessories, and considering character roles. Learn to draw or take your current drawing skills to the next level with tutorials from experienced artists. Add another skill to your ‘skill stack’ as you explore digital painting while creating your final design using Adobe Photoshop. Learn how to share your final design with other gaming enthusiasts to get feedback.

This project file will take you from a video game consumer to becoming an active member of the game development community.

Skills learned:

     - Character development with writing character backstories

     - Sketching and drawing both with paper and digitally

     - Digital painting with Adobe Photoshop

     - Sharing work and using feedback, not as criticism, but as a way to improve your work

Step out of the consumer side of video games and harness your creativity to create the Ultimate Video Game Character!
