Character Design Vol 2: The Hero


The second installment of my Character Design series is now available through Massive Black.

In this video I cover my thought process when designing hero characters for video games. I demonstrate by drawing three different hero characters with different goals in mind for each character. In addition to some basic digital painting tips, I spend a lot of time on theory so that the viewer can see where my concepts are coming from. Drawing is only half of Concept Art (the art half), so I really try to stress the concept half.

All sales also go to help keep ConceptArt.Org running, so please buy :)

I just picked up a copy of Lisa Mantchev's book "Eyes Like Stars" and realized you did the cover art. It's so gorgeous! Absolutely fits the tone of the book; I bet some people will pick it up based on the cover alone.

Fantastic video. After having purchased the previous volume and even another video of your 'by mistake' - I purchased this tutorial without hesitation. Thanks for your efforts to help share you skills and insights with other artists.
