MAINTAIN READABILITY
Learn how Iwo Widuliński concepts and refines a character design for a video game
“This hermit is a ragged supporting character in Cronos: The New Dawn, developed and published by Bloober Team. It was important to invoke the sort of ‘gentle giant’ trait. Makeshift solutions and handmade elements are all here to tell the story of someone who’s been through a lot. Because of the hidden face, I was looking for some familiar attachments that would make him more human, hence the cape and prosthetics. Imagining the sound of him moving really helped the process along. Readability is always an issue with busy designs, so you need to keep an eye on it.”
