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.

Stunning characters with extra depth packed into each pixel. the 45 degree shift and orthographic view provide a popular choice for adventure and puzzle games.

Side-on
the side-scroller genre is extremely versatile, pixel characters in this style need to focus on being both eye-catching and responsive for an engaging experience.

Top-Down
To some this may seem limiting but packing personality where it counts is key. Application of this style allows for a clear view of both the player and their surroundings making it popular for precise and action based gameplay.
