Character Design
3D, Animation and Game Development
Character design is the process of conceptualizing and visually developing characters for animation, video games, comics, and film, defining their appearance, personality traits, proportions, and costume to communicate who they are at a glance. Character designers sketch multiple iterations and turnarounds (front, side, back views) before a character is finalized for production. It's a foundational role in the entertainment and game industries, often done by concept artists and illustrators.
