Character Design
Original character design across 2D and 3D — concept art, modelling, rigging, texturing and retexturing ready for animation, games and brand mascots.
What Character Design means here
We design and build characters from first sketch to animation-ready asset. That covers 2D concept and illustration, 3D modelling, clean topology, rigging for animation, PBR texturing and retexturing of existing models for new looks or platforms.
2D and 3D characters, rigging, texturing and retexturing. Every engagement is scoped in writing, with clear deliverables, timelines and the metrics we will report on.
Problems we solve
- Your brand mascot exists as a flat drawing and cannot be animated.
- Purchased 3D models have messy topology and unusable rigs.
- Textures look flat or break under studio lighting.
- Character style is inconsistent across content.
- You need game or animation-ready assets to spec.
What is included
A typical engagement covers the following. We tailor scope to your goals and budget.
- 2D concept art, turnarounds and expression sheets
- 3D modelling with clean, animation-friendly topology
- 2D modelling and vector character systems
- Rigging with controls, weights and blend shapes
- PBR texturing, materials and look development
- Retexturing and restyling of existing models
- Export in FBX, OBJ, GLB, Blender or Maya formats
