Character Design Exploration

From expressive heroes to stylized creatures built for animation & games

SHORT ABOUT

We design characters that work in motion — not just as single illustrations. From clean, stylized humans to expressive creatures and monsters. 

Our focus is on clear shapes, strong personality and animation-friendly design.

This is a selection of character work created for animated projects, games and personal exploration.

Stylized Human Characters

Characters designed for animated stories and narrative-driven games.

Explorations

By exploring them through dynamic, expressive poses, we invite you to feel who they are before they become technical assets.

Step by Step

A clear, step-by-step workflow that turns a rough idea into a finished character.

Cleaning up the Design

Now take a look at the process of creating production poses —
the ones animators rely on to bring the character smoothly to life.

Expressions

Exploring the character’s emotional range through facial design

Rigging process

Have a look how animator works with it in "Moho"

And see how it looks in game "Tavern Lords"

Where we created a cartoon-style game character — a bartender managing a tavern packed with shady characters from a fantasy world.
