Character Design

From the ground up, the most important element right behind story is character, and Gentle Giant Studios has helped clients worldwide achieve their design goals.

We’ve Got Character

Let’s Create Yours

Whether we begin in 2D or 3D, Gentle Giant has broad experience helping clients design and articulate the look of characters to populate their fantastic worlds. At the start of a project we determine what influences need to be present in the concepts, and use client feedback to get the basics surrounded. Shapes and silhouettes or story-critical details, we can iterate quickly and move the design closer to being ready to work.

Starting in 3D can help push the project into the physical or game environment realms more quickly – it all depends on your end use and on what the specific project goals are. Quirky or epic, count on Gentle Giant Studios to help generate evocative designs for your characters.
