From creatures to characters to robots, by inspiring my clients with unique ideas we create characters that deepen player engagement and stay memorable long after the first playthrough.
PIXEL GAME CHARACTER Design PROCESS
Pixel Art Characters, Creatures & Monsters
At first glance, you might think a lot of pixel art characters look simple, but many ingredients go into making a great design. What truly brings a character to life is the way it’s presented in-game, how it moves, reads, and belongs in the world.
The right choices, shaped by genre, gameplay, and tone, make a character feel part of the story rather than simply slapped into it. By considering each element, I ensure they work together to create something appealing and tailored to your vision.
